Bank to Build New Shenandoah Valley Structure
Bids for Shenandoah Valley National Bank’s new building, on the present site, were extended to June 28 after initial June 17 deadline. Board members favor Ohio sandstone for the facade, matching Rouss City Hall’s first floor. Estimated cost stands at $25,000, and a contract would likely lead to construction, timing uncertain between this summer or next spring.
