Board approves new bank in downtown Owensboro

OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE)- There's been a green light from the preservation board for Fifth Third Bank to relocate and build a new bank in Owensboro's overlay district.

It took Fifth Third Bank eight years to get their plan finalized.

"They have a pretty good strategy for growing this branch and adding new employees and really being part of the community here," said Kurt Prosser with the GPD Group.

They're not moving far, just right across the street to Fifth and Frederica Street. Bank representatives say it's all part of their plan.
