Andrea Macko reports for Porcupine Soup that state Senator Michelle Hinchey has helped get the Bank of Greene County officially designated as part of the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry. The bank was founded in 1889 and is headquartered in Catskill. Hinchey said, “The Bank of Greene County is the epitome of a community-minded partner,” and that she is “incredibly proud to award this local institution a much-deserved place on the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry.” The registry began in 2020 to honor and promote New York businesses operating for at least 50 years and making significant contributions to the history of their community. Donald Gibson, president and CEO of the Bank of Greene County, said, “We are celebrating our 135th Anniversary, rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell on January 22, raised the interest rate on our e-checking account and e-savings account, and have been added to the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry.” Read more about this story at Porcupine Soup.
