North Valley Bank announces construction on Pataskala Business Banking Center

North Valley Bank has begun construction at 66 E. Broad Street on its new Business Banking Center located in Pataskala. This office will be the tenth location for North Valley Bank, headquartered in South Zanesville, and this particular location will serve the bank’s growing commercial and business clientele.

The Pataskala location was secured based on its proximity to the bank’s major service areas while opening a gateway to widen its commercial base. Rob Linnabary, a veteran commercial lender with more than 30 years’ experience in central Ohio, joined the North Valley Bank team in January 2022 as a Senior Vice President and Commercial Lender with a goal of expanding the bank’s commercial lending portfolio.

Brendan Underwood, Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager, has served as project coordinator for the new business banking center.

"Even prior to the Intel announcement, we knew that with Pataskala’s projected growth, establishing a presence here made sense after nearly a year of due diligence," said Underwood. "It’s obvious now that growth will far exceed original estimates with the changes coming to Licking County. In addition, our recently awarded Preferred Lender Designation with the US Small Business Administration (SBA), reflecting our proficiency and experience in lending to small businesses, positions us to deliver our brand of responsive, local and relationship driven financial services. North Valley Bank is excited to open in Pataskala and connect with the community."

The new location is scheduled to open in late summer 2022, and Project Architecture LTD. is serving as the architect with The Paul Construction Company, Inc. providing construction services.
