***Update 6/12/2023: The ground breaking for the new Peoples Bank in Boone will be on Tuesday, June 27th at 12:00 pm at 1212 Hawkeye Drive (Corner of S. Linn Street and Hawkeye Drive) ****
Clive, Iowa: May 5, 2023 – Bank President & COO, John Rigler III, announced this week the construction of a new Peoples Bank branch in Boone, IA at 1212 Hawkeye Drive. Groundbreaking is scheduled to begin in late June or early July and the branch is expected to be open for business by the first quarter of 2024.
Abby Howie, a 25-year banking veteran, has been hired by Peoples Bank to lead the new branch as Market President, SVP. Abby’s strong lending expertise, deep knowledge of the industry and excellent customer service skills have distinguished her as the premiere banker to establish Peoples Bank’s newest market. Prior to joining Peoples Bank, Abby spent several years working in the banking industry in Boone and Cedar Valley (Cedar Falls and Waterloo area).
Rigler noted, “This is an exciting time for Peoples Bank! As a local bank with over a l00- year history in Iowa, we’re always adapting to the changing needs of our communities. At times, this leads to hard decisions. Other times, it can usher in new opportunities. The opening of our new Boone location with Abby as Market President demonstrates the kind of forward-thinking that has secured Peoples Bank as a financial intuition that can continue serving the personal and business banking needs of Iowans for years to come. Peoples Bank is an independent community bank that is owned and operated by the Rigler family.”
Peoples Bank has partnered with Koester Construction and ID8 architects for general contracting and design work. The bank plans to provide more updates in the weeks and months to come.
