SALEM, NH — Needham Bank opened a new branch in Salem, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 16 Artisan Drive in Tuscan Village that brought together Southern New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce members, town officials, community leaders, and residents.

The Chamber said the celebration marked the official opening of the bank's newest Salem location. The event also included a special appearance by Greg Hill of WEEI Boston's Sports Original, and WEEI broadcast live from Tuscan Village.

The ceremony featured remarks from U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander, who highlighted the importance of continued investment in local businesses and communities.

The bank also announced $10,000 donations to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem and NeighborWorks Southern NH. The donations will support organizations that make what it described as a meaningful difference throughout the region.
