Cornerstone Bank Donates Makoti Building

Cornerstone Bank has proudly served the Makoti community for well over half a century. While the bank remains committed to customers in the area, we reluctantly closed our Makoti location this past summer due to continued staffing challenges along with a limited number of transactions.

“The bank building has been a fixture of Makoti’s Main Street for many decades,” stated Cornerstone Bank Chairman Gary Petersen. “It was important to us that it continued to be an asset to the community.”

After discussions with community leaders, the decision was made to donate the building to the City of Makoti. Petersen along with Cornerstone Bank Market President Grant Wentz recently met with Makoti Mayor Chase Karna to hand over the keys to the building.

Petersen added, “Mayor Karna graciously accepted the building on behalf of the City. We’re happy to see them take over the building and use it as they see fit to benefit the community.”
