Great Western Bank in Sheridan to Close

Great Western Bank will close its Sheridan branch, the Sheridan Express has learned. The final day for operation will be January 31st. All deposits of Sheridan customers will be transferred to Grant City. The bank is planning to transfer safe deposit boxes to Grant City as well so that customers will not have to get a new key. The bank had not hired a new branch manager for the bank since the retirement of LaRue Burns, long-time employee of the Sheridan bank and branch manager. The bank is expected to write a letter to customers shortly explaining more details concerning the closure. No plans have been announced for the disposal of the bank building.

The closure will leave Sheridan without banking services for the first time in over 100 years. The closure will also imperial a historic artifact, a 1960 painting containing the history of the town and a street scene from the late 1800's in Sheridan.
