"Our commitment remains to our customers. With the addition of our new bank located at Centerra we'll be able to provide our customers with a full suite of financial services. Our vision is to be the only acceptable financial services provider to those who value quality products, convenience and personal service. In addition, we are excited to offer a unique and enjoyable experience for our customers through our partnership with the Loveland Coffee Company. We appreciate their dedication and value towards keeping a strong commitment to our local community." said Chris Osborn, CEO and Chairman, First National Bank.

First National Bank at Centerra will be a 14,250 square foot two-story building. Designed by Vaught-Frye Architects, the building reflects the community’s agrarian roots.  Organic in nature, the building will be a mix of natural materials including stone and wood, featuring the golden tones of the surrounding prarie land and open space, and the rich greens of Colorado’s pine forests.

 “Centerra is quickly becoming the neighborhood where almost everything you need for a great life is close to home, and First National is an important addition to making that vision a reality for Centerra,” explained Chad McWhinney, Principal and CEO, McWhinney Enterprises.
