Susquehanna Bank Columbia branch renovation

Susquehanna Bank recently held a rededication ceremony at its Columbia branch, where it completed a $250,000 reconstruction project to the interior of the 104-year-old bank building in the downtown business district.
The project began in June 2013 and concluded in October 2013.
The rededication ceremony was held on Friday May 9 to celebrate the grand reopening of the facility. The construction project was designed to improve the energy and employee efficiency of the branch.
Susquehanna Bank said the project also demonstrates its commitment to be part of the downtown area of Columbia on Locust Street, and further assists in the ongoing improvements of the borough.
