NEW BOSTON FUND WELCOMES BANKNEWPORT TO THE SHOPS AT QUONSET

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — New Boston Fund Inc. has celebrated the groundbreaking of BankNewport’s newest branch in North Kingstown, about 21 miles south of Providence. The 2,000-square-foot bank will be located at the front of The Shops at Quonset Point development. BankNewport signed a 15-year lease in April on a pad site to construct the new bank branch. The new building will feature two drive-thru lanes, one of which will have a drive-thru ATM. Inside, the branch offers an ATM for after-hours banking; a coin counting machine in the lobby; and a conference room available to small businesses that require a meeting space during banking hours. Construction of BankNewport’s new branch is slated for an early 2014 completion.
