We do <br />not intend to remove any of the trees or convert the site around the building into a <br />parking lot. Site improvements would be limited to providing access to the <br />building only. We believe that part of the historic beauty of this site is the site <br />itself. We would also hope to gather artifacts and photos relevant to the City of <br />Ramsey's history and have them assembled and on display at the Town Hall Site. <br /> <br />Landmark. Community Bank, N.A. is a century old bank that has operated under <br />the same family ownership since 1975. Originating as the Isanti State Bank, <br />Landmark changed its name and was granted a federal charter in 1994 when it <br />expanded into the City of Ramsey and constructed its current facility next to the <br />Ramsey Town Hall. At the suggestion of the City of Ramsey, this facility was <br />designed and constructed to compliment the historic site next door. <br /> <br />Our growth has necessitated a need for more space. We want to keep our main <br />operations in the City of Ramsey/but we have outgrown our current facility. By <br />purchasing the Town Hall, we would be able to remain in this location and the <br />historical character of the building would be retained which would not be the case <br />if the building were relocated. <br /> <br /> <br />
