Brown Statement on Reopening of Huntington Buckeye-Shaker Branch in Cleveland
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, issued the following statement on Huntington Bank’s decision to reopen its Buckeye-Shaker branch in Cleveland:
“The permanent closure of the Buckeye branch would have left families and small businesses with even fewer choices than before. I’m glad that Huntington listened to the voices of the community and will reopen the Buckeye-Shaker branch. This would not have happened without all the neighborhood residents, local leaders, and advocates coming together and working with the bank – and speaking up about the branch’s importance.”
Over the past year, since the closure of the Huntington Buckeye branch was announced, Brown’s office has been in touch with the bank, community members, federal bank regulators, and others. He has also previously pressed bank regulators to address branch closures in low-income, rural, and minority communities.
