Rockville Bank to Open Branch in West Hartford Center
ROCKVILLE, CONN., October 28, 2011 William (Bill) H. W. Crawford, IV, President and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of Rockville Bank and Rockville Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select Stock
Market: RCKB) today announced that Rockville Bank has filed an application with the Connecticut
State Department of Banking for approval to open a full-service branch in West Hartford, Conn.
The new Rockville Bank location will be at 102 LaSalle Road in West Hartford Center. The branch
will occupy the same building as the U.S. Post Office, which will continue to operate. The Bank
will have its own public entrance and offices, free parking spaces for customers, a convenient
drive-up teller window, and an ATM.
We are very excited about having a significant presence in West Hartford Center and plan to open
our doors in the third quarter of 2012, explains William (Bill) H. W. Crawford, IV, President and
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rockville Bank. In addition to our wide range of personal
customer products and services, our new branch will feature Rockville Bank commercial and business
banking teams. This will be our second Bank office located west of the Connecticut River, and it is
part of our Companys plans to expand the reach of our branch network.
We are excited to have so many personal and commercial customers in the West Hartford community
and look forward to meeting more of our neighbors, civic leaders and local businesses, and getting
involved in the community in a variety of ways, adds Crawford.
Udolf Properties acquired the 102 LaSalle Road property and is working with Rockville Bank on
modifications for the Banks offices in the North side of the building; the U.S. Post Office will
be located in another part of the structure. We are delighted to welcome Rockville Bank to West
Hartford, says Leonard Udolf, owner of Udolf Properties. Weve been a longtime Bank customer and
believe their sterling reputation and customer service matches perfectly within the community and
the Center.
This site already is one of West Hartfords and Greater Hartfords premier parcels of commercial
property, notes Udolf. New paving and lighting of the more than 60-space parking lot, along with
changes to the buildings façade, will further enhance West Hartford Center as a top destination in
Connecticut.
