In a media statement, the Portland-based bank said it had acquired the property of the stand-alone facility and is in the process of renovating the interior and exterior of the building.

The current location is in a very busy and tight shopping center.

The new bank location — the former Central Maine Credit Union — is just 1.4 miles away and will offer a larger facility with state-of-the-art technology, a larger service area and improved customer parking.

Construction is being led by Auburn-based H.E. Callahan Construction Co.
