by David Flint
The Bank of America is leaving Berlin. T.J. Crawford, a spokesman for the company, confirmed that the bank will close on December 7. Crawford said the property will be put on the market. Sometimes such properties are bought by other banks, but there is no surety of that. The Bank of America branch in Averill Park was closed last April, but Crawford said there are no plans to close the branch in New Lebanon. The company, he said, is exploring the option of placing a full service ATM facility in Berlin after the bank is closed.
