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.

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — Canandaigua National Bank & Trust announced it will be entering the Syracuse market with plans to open multiple branches starting in 2025.
Frank Hamlin, III, the bank’s president and CEO, views this announcement as the “next exciting evolution for an organization that has made consistent and considerable growth throughout its history.”
Canandaigua is a city in Ontario County located at the northern end of Canandaigua Lake.
Canandaigua National Bank & Trust will announce individual locations in the Syracuse area as details are finalized, but the expectation is to add multiple branches over the next one to three years, with at least one office anticipated to open in 2025. Along with retail-banking services, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust will offer financial services that include business banking, commercial lending, mortgage lending and loan origination, wealth-management services, estate and trust services, and insurance.
As branches draw nearer to opening, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust says it will begin hiring to staff those locations, as well as to support other services and banking operations.
“This decision is the result of extensive research and thoughtful consideration by our leadership team,” Hamlin said in the bank’s announcement. “It reflects the strength of our bank as a business, along with the steadfast work and commitments in the Syracuse area that are yielding promising growth from the designated national tech hub corridor that will connect Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo to the development of job training skills and housing.”
Founded in 1887, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust describes itself as “the region’s only local, full-service, community-owned financial institution,” with 25 branches in Ontario and Monroe counties, as well as financial-services offices located in Canandaigua, Bushnell’s Basin, downtown Rochester, and downtown Sarasota, Florida, per the announcement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Syracuse University (SU) says it has opened a new center in Washington, D.C. and held a Sept. 24 event to mark the occasion.
The center, located at 1333 New Hampshire Ave. in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, will serve students, faculty, staff, and alumni, SU said in its announcement.
Mike Tirico, a 1988 Syracuse graduate who handles hosting and play-by-play duties for NBC Sports, hosted the event. The speakers included Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud; along with Lois Agnew, interim vice chancellor, provost and chief academic officer; and J. Michael Haynie, vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation.
“Building on an already thriving presence in the nation’s capital, the center will enhance the University’s global influence and impact,” SU contended in its announcement.
“This city is a place our students want to be. It’s a place they want to live. And it’s a place they want to build their futures and careers after they graduate,” Syverud said in the SU announcement. “Our students studying away here benefit from Syracuse’s academic strength and deep connections in policy, government, media and law.”
The event included a panel discussion examining the changing landscape of collegiate sports and public policy. The panelists were James Phillips, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference; Felisha Legette-Jack, Syracuse University women’s basketball coach; and Tirico.
Margaret Talev, Kramer Director of the Syracuse University Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship, moderated the discussion.
The Washington, D.C. center houses the Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship and serves as a home base for study-away programs offered by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and the College of Law — through which hundreds of students live, learn, and work in the city every year.
Washington, D.C. is home to more than 15,000 alumni, many of whom connect with students as teachers, mentors, and internship supervisors, SU said.
