Jewett Const. renovating 1,800 s/f Sugar River Bank in Sunapee

Sunapee, NH Construction is underway at Sugar River Bank. The 1,800 s/f renovation project is being managed by Jewett Construction Company in partnership with the NES Group. This is the first Jewett project in this New England town which is home to Lake Sunapee.

This is not, however, the first bank that Jewett has constructed during its 45 year history. According to president Craig Jewett, “We’ve had the opportunity to build dozens of financial institutions over the years. It’s fantastic that even as modern banking evolves and changes, community lenders are still finding creative ways to maintain a need for brick and mortar banks and credit unions.”

The local branch’s renovations are designed to meet the expectations of banking in the 21st Century. Along with a complete cosmetic makeover including drywall, flooring and millwork. The building will be updated to meet codes, increase energy efficiency and improve the customer experience. This fast-paced project will be completed in time for the summer tourist season and is underway while the bank remains fully operational.

Jewett Construction is a family-owned design-build and construction management firm specializing in commercial projects throughout New England. In addition to Sugar River Bank, Jewett has completed work for Kennebunk Savings, Northeast Credit Union, St. Mary’s Bank, Lowell Five and many more. 

Sugar River Bank has been offering citizens of New Hampshire the same exceptional, local, and personalized service since 1895. A true “hometown community bank,” Sugar River first opened their doors in Newport, NH and have grown to six locations, offering service to its customers.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
