Charitable Foundation awards grants to Newport Mental Health and the MLK Community Center
West Warwick, RI (December 16, 2025) – Centreville Bank celebrated the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of its first full-service branch in Middletown, Rhode Island, located at 160 East Main Road. The new branch is the Bank’s first ground-up construction project since 2020 and represents a significant milestone in Centreville Bank’s continued growth and investment across Rhode Island.
The Middletown branch offers a full suite of banking services, including a state-of-the-art banking center, drive-up teller and ITM lanes, private offices for financial consultations, and a welcoming lobby designed with customer experience at the forefront.
Branch leadership and staff include:
Heather Strout, Executive Director of the MLK Community Center, emphasized the significance of the Foundation’s support, saying “We are grateful to have Centreville Bank moving into Middletown. Thanks to their support, we can provide hunger relief, health and wellness, community enrichment, and educational programs that keep Newport County strong. It is because of partners like Centreville Bank that the MLK Center is able to help 8,700 people a year, distribute 1.4 million meals annually, and provide quality, affordable childcare to working families.”
Lee Merrill, EVP and Chief Lending Officer at Centreville Bank, said the new branch represents an important step in the Bank’s strategic growth plan. “Opening our doors in Middletown marks a significant milestone in expanding our presence on Aquidneck Island. This full-service branch is about more than convenience: it’s about deepening relationships with customers and continuing to invest in the communities we proudly serve.”
Centreville Bank also operates a branch in Newport at 580 Thames Street.
