SENECA FALLS — Generations Bank plans to renovate its “flagship” branch office located at 19 Cayuga St. in Seneca Falls.
The first phase of this two-phase project was slated to begin April 25, Generations Bank said in a news release.
Geneva–based Mittiga Construction Co. is handling the $1.2 million project, Katie MacIntyre, assistant VP and marketing officer at Generations Bank, said in an email response to a CNYBJ inquiry.
The banking company expects to complete the office renovation this fall.
All services at the Cayuga Street branch will remain “fully accessible” throughout the renovation, Generations added.
“Our Cayuga Street office has been a part of this community for nearly 40 years, and, as our service offerings continue to advance, it only makes sense to reflect these changes in our flagship retail location,” Menzo Case, president and CEO of Generations Bank, said in the release. “While our banking technology has evolved, we still feel strongly about the personal connection between our customers and employees. Customers can expect to see the same friendly faces at the office during and after the renovation.”
The renovations on the Cayuga Street office will produce a “similar look and feel” to the Generations Bank headquarters building, which is located at 20 East Bayard St. in Seneca Falls, the bank said.
Architect Thomas Anderson of M A Architects in Rochester designed the project for Generations, while Blynn Nelson Interior Design, also of Rochester, is handling the interior design work, according to MacIntyre.
The bank is redesigning the office, which was originally built in 1977, to incorporate “many modern and sustainable elements,” according to the release. They include floor-to-ceiling windows, carpet containing recycled content, and light-emitting diode (LED) lighting.
The renovated office will also include interactive teller machines, “state-of-the-art” technology, and improved handicapped parking for customers, Generations said.
Founded in 1870, Generations Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc., which generated $1.1 million in net income in 2015. It has total assets of nearly $282 million.
Generations Bank has nine branches, including Seneca Falls, Auburn (2), Geneva, Farmington, Phelps, Union Springs, and Waterloo (2), according to its website.
Generations Bank also has an insurance business, called Generations Agency (formerly called Royce & Rosenkrans Insurance), and financial planning and brokerage services offered by Generations Investment Services.
