Assemblyman Matt Slater (R,C-Yorktown) is proud to announce that Tompkins Community Bank has been officially recognized as a Historic Business. In December, Slater presented a New York State Assembly proclamation to Tompkins Community Bank celebrating its inclusion in the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry following his nomination last year.
“Tompkins Community Bank has been a cornerstone of our community since 1927, adapting and evolving to meet the needs of families and businesses in the Hudson Valley,” said Slater. “This recognition highlights its extraordinary legacy of service and leadership. Congratulations to the entire team on this well-deserved honor.”
“Few organizations truly embody the spirit of a community-focused institution, but Tompkins Community Bank clearly does. By prioritizing the needs of its customers and neighbors, they have set a high standard for businesses across New York,” Slater continued.
Located in Putnam County, Tompkins Community Bank, formerly Mahopac National Bank, has served the Hudson Valley for almost 100 years, providing innovative financial solutions and supporting the growth and vitality of the community. From helping first-time homebuyers put down roots to assisting local businesses with growth, the bank demonstrates the best of community banking through personalized service, local decision-making and community support.
Tompkins Hudson Valley President David M. DeMilia said, “We are enormously proud of Tompkins’ recognition as a Historic Business. Our roots in the Hudson Valley extend back to 1927, when Mahopac National Bank was founded, and we have been extremely fortunate to serve as a banking partner to our local communities for close to 100 years in the area. We thank Assemblyman Matt Slater for working to recognize Tompkins’ history as we look to continue serving our community here in the Hudson Valley.”
“Tompkins Community Bank has been an integral part of Putnam County’s history and economic growth, serving our residents and businesses with dedication and care for generations,” said Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne. “This recognition by New York state is well-deserved and highlights the vital role Tompkins Community Bank has played in strengthening our home. Congratulations to the entire team at Tompkins on this remarkable honor.”
Town of Carmel Supervisor Michael Cazzari said, “I am proud to acknowledge Tompkins Mahopac Bank, founded in 1836. As a recognized Historic Business, it has been a key part of the Town of Carmel community, supporting local businesses and helping residents achieve homeownership through its mortgage services.”
“On behalf of the Greater Mahopac Carmel Chamber of Commerce, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Tompkins Community Bank for being recognized as a historic business in New York State. With a legacy of serving the community since 1836, we are proud to have such an esteemed landmark in Putnam County, contributing to our rich history and bright future,” said Chairwoman Christine C. Picone.
The New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry celebrates businesses that contribute to the history, heritage and identity of their communities. Eligible businesses must have operated for at least 50 years and made significant contributions to their local areas. In addition to recognition, the registry provides educational and promotional resources to help ensure the continued success of these historic institutions.
Tompkins Community Bank joins a distinguished list of businesses honored through this initiative. During his first term, Slater also nominated Stuart’s Fruit Farm in Westchester and Kiwi Country Day Camp for this prestigious recognition.
