Bank Construction Begins in Simsbury

Editor’s note: We published this story earlier in the week, but here it is again in case you missed it.

Construction has begun on a new Berkshire Bank location in Simsbury, reports the Hartford Courant.

The project received zoning commission approval about six months ago and the bank will be located at 16 Albany Tpke. on the corner of Bushy Hill Road.

The site was formerly occupied by a gas station, which was removed after a gasoline spill at the site sometime before 1997. The party responsible for the contamination is continuing cleanup work on the property.

Construction will be completed in the fall.
