The village of Nonantum in Newton was selected for Metro’s 15th branch location due to both its historical significance and the character of its residents and community. Nonantum is experiencing early revitalization efforts, and Metro has positioned itself as an active participant in similar neighborhood development throughout the communities it serves.
Business commenced at the location on Monday, August 18, bringing convenient banking services to Newton-area members.
