Bank of Akron is moving forward with plans to open a sixth retail branch. So far, the bank has evaluated five or six locations in Western New York. An agreement will be in place by the end of the year. Bank of Akron's decision to open another branch is part of a long-term plan put into place after Delmonte's 2017 promotion to top executive. It is also one of the latest in a string of new bank branch announcements and openings in Western New York.
