Heartland Bank Announces Plans for New Woodlawn Branch in Lincoln

 

[February 06, 2025]  LINCOLN, IL – Heartland Bank and Trust Company is excited to announce plans for the construction of a new, modern Woodlawn branch to replace the current building at 818 Woodlawn Road in Lincoln. Work on the site will begin soon, with the new branch expected to open in fall 2025.

The decision to build a new facility comes after careful consideration of the bank’s ongoing commitment to the Lincoln community and the need for a more efficient, accessible space. The current building, which has served the area since 1979, will be replaced by a full-service branch designed to meet the changing needs of local customers.

“We’re thrilled to invest in a new, upgraded facility that will better serve our customers for many years to come,” said Dave Irwin, senior vice president and senior lender at Heartland Bank. Lance Carter, president and CEO of Heartland Bank, added, “Our commitment to the Lincoln community remains strong. Our new Woodlawn branch reflects our dedication to providing exceptional service and supporting the area’s growth. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our customers in this updated space.”

Heartland Bank has a long history of serving central Illinois and remains committed to being a trusted partner in the communities it serves. The bank will continue to provide updates as construction progresses and the new branch’s opening date approaches.
