OAK RIDGE — Lakeland Bank commemorated the recent opening of its Hudson Valley Commercial Lending office with a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 20.
The office, located 556 State Route 32 in Highland Mills, N.Y., represents the Bank’s first location in the state.
“We are excited about Lakeland’s entrance into the greater Hudson Valley market and now that our team has a permanent office, they can focus on leveraging their small and middle market lending expertise for the businesses in the region,” said Thomas Shara, president and CEO of Lakeland Bank.
John Rath, first senior vice president, Group Leader and his team will concentrate on developing new relationships in the Hudson Valley, which includes Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Rockland, Westchester and Sullivan counties to support the Bank’s focus to provide business banking solutions in markets adjacent to its existing footprint. Bringing over 35 years of banking and commercial lending experience to Lakeland Bank, Rath was previously with TD Bank as Senior Vice President and Group Manager for Corporate, Middle Market, Commercial and Small Business lending activities in the Lower Hudson Valley region.
