BayCoast Bank announces plans to open Dartmouth Branch

FALL RIVER, MA – BayCoast Bank recently held a ground breaking ceremony to announce their plans to open a Branch in Dartmouth at 299 State Road.

Construction of the 2300 square foot facility is expected to be completed in January of 2014. The building is designed by Vision 3 Architects and built by R.P. Valois & Compan, with landscaping by Stephanie Fuss Associates, LLC.  The project is being managed by PACE Project Management, Inc.

Nicholas Christ, President and CEO of BayCoast Bank, said that the location, with 2 lanes and a drive-up Smart ATM, was planned to meet the needs of the residents and businesses in Dartmouth, as the Bank continues to expand its footprint in the South Coast region. The new branch will also offer ample parking and a coin counter for customers.

Plans call for a ribbon-cutting and Grand Opening ceremony to be held early next year.

“We are pleased to be able to further strengthen our presence in the region,” said Christ, who added, “Although it feels as if we are already an integral part of the Dartmouth community through our charitable giving and the exceptional service we provide to our customers in the area, we look forward to solidifying our place in the town with the construction of this new location.”
