NBT Bank and NBT Insurance Agency celebrated the unveiling of upgraded and expanded offices for the sister organizations at 295 Broadway in Saratoga Springs with a ribbon cutting recently.
Office renovations include expansion to fully occupy the 12,000-square-foot building, including the addition of seven new NBT Insurance Agency offices. Additional upgrades include a revised office configuration to promote collaboration among the 37 employees based at this regional hub location for NBT.
As the regional hub, employees represent multiple divisions within the company, including Retail and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Mortgage, Wealth Management and Insurance.
President of Wealth Management and Regional President Ruth Mahoney said, “NBT has had the honor of serving Saratoga Springs for more than 25 years. As our company continues to grow, we’re excited to expand our presence with this modernized space.”
President of NBT Insurance Agency Tucker Lounsbury said, “We view this office expansion as a commitment to providing enhanced services, greater accessibility and a stronger, more engaged support network for our Saratoga County customers.”
President of the Saratoga County Chamber Todd Shimkus said, “In many cities, commercial office space remains vacant after the pandemic which is why it is so vital to recognize organizations like NBT Bank and NBT Insurance Agency who are investing in office expansions here in Saratoga Springs. As more people work downtown, they often patronize local shops, stores, and restaurants before, during, and after work which helps our local businesses to succeed, grow, and thrive. I see NBT’s local employees out and about downtown all the time and it’s awesome that there are now more of them here to do the same.”
NBT officials also presented a donation to the Dake Foundation for Children. The Dake Foundation provides children with disabilities access to equipment and services that will give them more opportunities for participation within their families, communities, and with their peers.
Dake Foundation Executive Director Sarah Burns said, “We are so thankful for our partnership with NBT Bank and for their continued support of our mission. This donation allows us to continue to provide independence, inclusion and fun for local children with disabilities — and we are honored to be part of the incredible generosity that NBT Bank provides to our local community.”
