“The purchase of the historic Leavitt-Hovey House will give our Bank the space we need to expand our Greenfield campus, add more jobs and increase the city’s property tax base,” said Greenfield Savings Bank President and CEO Thomas J. Meshako. “Greenfield Savings Bank is proud to play a role in the preservation of this landmark building for future generations.”
