SYRACUSE, N.Y. — NBT Bank later this month plans to relocate its downtown Syracuse branch at 300 South State St. to 126 N. Salina St., where First Niagara Bank previously operated.
The NBT branch currently operates in the One Park Place building. The Salina Street location, near Clinton Square, “offers more modern features and expanded office space,” the bank said in a news release issued Monday.
The building is known for the mural of the Clinton Square area on the north-facing façade (see adjacent photo).

Construction for the project is underway.
