DeWITT, N.Y. — Just six months after announcing the sale of a nearby branch in the village of East Syracuse to another bank, Berkshire Bank has opened a new office in the town of DeWitt. The new Berkshire Bank office at 6319 Fly Road in DeWitt will support its business banking, commercial real estate, middle-market lending, BerkshireBanc Investment Services, and back-office teams. Those teams were formerly housed in the bank’s prior East Syracuse retail branch at 6611 Manlius Center Road, which Berkshire sold to Pathfinder Bank. It was always the intention to open a new location in the area for those teams, Berkshire Bank officials tell CNYBJ. “At Berkshire, we want to be sure our clients can continue to bank when, where, and how they want, and that includes the option to meet in person with bankers who live and work locally and deliver trusted advice through industry-leading expertise,” New York Market President and Commercial Real Estate Managing Director Jim Morris said in a statement. Berkshire Bank is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BHLB), which has $12.2 billion in assets and more than 80 branch locations.
