MEDINA – The Medina Savings and Loan marked its 125th anniversary on Saturday during a customer appreciation day at the bank on Maple Ridge Road.
The bank has been critical to growth of the community for more than a century, providing capital for businesses to open and expand, and residents to purchase homes.
Medina S & L was the only bank in Orleans County to survive the Great Depression. In 2006, the bank opened a second location in the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Albion.
The Medina Sandstone Society unveiled a plaque by the front door, praising the bank for “providing a rock solid foundation for community growth since 1888.”
