BARTLESVILLE,OK – A groundbreaking ceremony was held Thursday in recognition of Union State Bank’s newest location. Close to fifty people braved the summer heat to celebrate the beginning of the bank’s construction in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

 

Included with those in attendance was State Senator Julie Daniels, who took a few moments to explain the impact of such a project on the local economy.

 

“I’m excited always to see the expansion of financial services, it’s a very good bellwether of how healthy our economy is. To find a wonderful financial institution to put on this very significant corner in Bartlesville, and that you are growing in our community, growing financial services to a greater and greater market of customers, can only bode well to your bank and our community, and our Senate District,” Senator Daniels said.
