United Bank of Iowa

United Bank of Iowa recently donated $2,000 to the Old 20 Community Development Corporation (CDC) for the completion of a new sign on highway 20 to invite travelers to Cushing.

Sheila O’Connell, representing the Cushing office of United Bank of Iowa, stated, “As a community bank, giving back to the community we serve is a priority. United Bank of Iowa is proud to support this worthwhile project in placing a lighted sign on Hwy 20 that will invite and welcome travelers to Cushing.”

The new sign has truly been a community effort. Old 20 Community Development Corporation partnered with the Cushing Betterment Club on this project.  Keith Jackson from the Old 20 CDC states, “UBI’s donation of $2000 is very appreciated as we work on this very worthwhile project.” Proceeds from Old Fashioned Wednesday Night – Cruise into Cushing have been donated, as well as a grant from the MHRD.  A campaign letter to get more funds have been sent to community citizen as well as area businesses.
