MARSHFIELD – Finishing touches are being made leading up to Forward Bank’s move to the new facility at 1001 N Central Avenue. Forward will welcome customers at the new location Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 8:30 a.m.

All offices will be closed on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 19 to allow for our staff to test systems in the new building.

“We’re excited to move into this beautiful new headquarters,” commented Bill Sennholz, president and CEO. “Forward Bank started here in Marshfield and is proud to have grown with our community. As we planned for this building, we wanted to continue to be part of the business environment here. That is why we added professional lease space on two of the floors in the new facility”.

“Creating a comfortable and collaborative environment for our employees and the employees of our tenants was a priority for our planning team,” mentioned Jennifer Sobotta, vice president/marketing director. “The café space, employee lounge, community room, and fitness center all have the health and morale of the teams in mind.”

“The hard work over the last year by all of the local contractors has made this a special project for Forward,” stated Lori Schutz, vice president. “Knowing that our neighbors and friends in the area contributed their time and talents to build this beautiful facility adds to the pride that we have leading in to our opening day.”

Grand opening events will be scheduled in April, after two additional businesses move into the building.
