The bank is also applying for approval with the National Register of Historic Places and New York State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program under the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP).   “This is more than a renovation—it’s committing to our future and honoring our past,” said BSNB President and CEO Christopher R. Dowd. “We’re updating the space with the latest technology improvements while preserving our historic appearance and heritage that define BSNB.”   Branch Closure Notice: The 87 Front Street Branch will temporarily close beginning Monday, June 2nd and will remain closed until construction is completed.

Local leaders announce Belmont on Broadway to kick-off the 2025 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival in Saratoga Springs! 🚨Gin Blossoms to headline free kick-off concert on Wednesday, June 4th! 🚨 Belmont on Broadway will for a second year in a row kick-off the 2025 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, according to leaders in the Spa City.

Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root to take place on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Gin Blossoms is an American alternative rock band formed in 1987 which rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy,” went gold and became a Top 25 hit. The band’s single, “As Long As It Matters,” was nominated for a Grammy Award. The Uprooted Band featuring Michael Glabicki is carrying on the legacy of Rusted Root’s energetic music.

This year’s concert will start at approximately 7 p.m. and end at 10 p.m., with a stage on Broadway adjacent to the City Center. Broadway will be closed from Van Dam to City Hall most likely all day Wednesday starting early in the morning to install the stage.
