TEXARKANA, Texas -- Diamond Bank held a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday at its new location, 5712 Richmond Road next to Big Jakes BBQ.
"We are so excited to invest in the Texarkana community. That's what we do. Our motto is 'the natural choice for community banking,' so we are reinvesting in the community," Texarkana Market President Frank Halter said.
Diamond Bank's first location is on Texas Boulevard next to Walgreen's. The new facility will be a little over 4,000 square feet, which is much bigger than the other location. There will be several different offices versus the few at the other location.
"You can expect service at its finest. I mean that's why we're here. We have serving hearts, and we're here to serve the people of Texarkana, all the people, school districts included. And we're here for anybody in this community," Halter said.
Assistant Deposit Manager Tamara Morgan said the new location will be convenient for many of the bank's customers and opens the bank to bringing in new business. The new building should be completed by the end of the year, she said.
"It is a great opportunity for Diamond Bank and the Texarkana community," bank President Johnny Gibbs said.
