The Owensboro Board of commissioners passed an ordinance Tuesday that would modify the city budget. The change will provide funding for a new building to be built for U.S. Bank to leave as part of the bank's expansion.

The city will have a meeting to discuss the potential constractors to build the building and the approval of the ordinance also allows the city to put together a lease agreement with U.S. Bank.
