Bank Forward coming to Village

Bank Forward will soon be opening a new bank location in UND's University Village. It was just last night that I first talked about what appeared to be a mysterious construction project underway on the property. I can now state that this site will indeed be home to a Bank Forward location in the near future. Site preparation - which includes rerouting the bike path and removing many trees in the area - is now underway.

This will be the second bank on the University Village property. This will also be Bank Forward's second bank location within the city of Grand Forks. The bank, which is new to this community, has previously announced that they will open a location near the intersection of South Columbia Road and 47th Avenue South.

According to Grand Forks Life reader Jason Berberich, the University Village branch of Bank Forward will also include some sort of Starbucks. Cool...we can never have too many Starbucks!

And there they go again...

Thanks again for reading the blog, WDAZ! Just too bad your boss doesn't actually let you comment on the blog.

They just announced the opening of their first bank on James Ray Drive. Not sure, but I think that's near the Hilton??

It's in the Centre for Innovation (the building that's attached to the Hilton via hamster tube.) It's more of an office than a traditional bank location, at least it was the last time I was by there.
