Green Bay-based Associated Bank built out a nearly 6,000-square-foot space at 10044 W. Florissant Ave. in the Delwood Crossing shopping center. The bank chose Dellwood after forming an advisory council that identified the need for a branch and a Community Advocacy Center in the Dellwood-Ferguson area, said Shawn McCutcheon, Associated Bank's St. Louis-Metro East president. The Community Advocacy Center is a space where events can be held to cover issues including financial literacy, hosting seminars for first-time homebuyers, and helping seniors with concerns about elder abuse and fraud, McCutcheon said. McCutcheon declined to say how much the bank spent to convert the vacant space into the branch or details of the long-term lease. The branch has seven employees: a manager, a relationship banker, a universal banker, a teller, two affordable mortgage lenders and a community accountability officer. expand Shawn McCutcheon, Associated Bank's St. Louis-Metro East president Associated Bank The branch gives Associated a presence in four states.
