According to Brian ""We look forward to having the community join in our Grand Opening Celebration and I’d like to invite everyone to visit us here at the corner of Wyoming Avenue and Bennet Streets – on the lot of the former George Allis Jeep dealership. Stop in, say hello and see what good friendly "Hometown Service" is all about. Join Sara, Jessica, Colleen, Denise, Judy, Joe Killeen, me and everyone here at The Honesdale National Bank’s new Kingston Office."

In addition to awarding the Grand Prize of $2,500 to one lucky visitor, $1,250 will be donated to the Hoyt Library and St. Vincent DePaul Kitchen in the name of the Grand Prize Winner.

Honesdale National purchased the property in March, razed the existing structures and began the design, permit and bidding process for the new office. With construction now underway, the bank is targeting a mid-second quarter 2007 opening.

In addition to the lobby teller & customer service areas, the 3,800+ square foot Full-Service Branch will house Consumer, Mortgage and Commercial Loan Officers and provide 3 Drive-Up Banking lanes - including a full service Drive-Up ATM - Safe Deposit Boxes and Night Depository service.

The Honesdale National Bank was established in 1836 and is the oldest independently owned community bank headquartered in Northeastern PA, with full service offices in Wayne, Pike, Susquehanna, and Lackawanna Counties and the HNB Mortgage Center, at 38 North Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County.
