As a community bank, BNG recognizes that by supporting our local sports programs we invest in the development of future leaders. Student athletes learn valuable lessons both on and off the field, acquiring essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience. These skills are then carried forward into our communities and enrich our neighborhoods. BNG donated to the Monticello Ponies press box construction project. The Ponies' press box will be built at the Monticello football field and supply scores for the newly formed 8-man football team; some of whom are featured here accepting the donation. Go, Ponies! #CommunityBanking #PowerOfCommunityWeek #PoweringGrowthInOurCommunties #StudentAthletes #MonticelloPonies

Last evening, BNG had the privilege of attending Green County Development Corporation's (GCDC) annual awards dinner. The event was a celebration of the relentless spirit of entrepreneurship that fuels our communities and ensures Green County's success. A highlight of the evening for BNG was having our client and New Glarus neighbor, Trouvaille Coffee’s owners, Tess and Bryce Klitzke, in attendance. Their business was nominated for the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award from GCDC. Trouvaille Coffee is a testament to the power of dreams and the perseverance to see a business through to its fruition. Join us in congratulating Trouvaille Coffee on this well-deserved recognition. 🏆 Your journey inspires us all and your coffee, beverages, and treats are delicious too! 🍨 #entreprenuerialspirit #communitybanking #poweringgrowthinourcommunities

BNG is excited to see the dirt moving at the historic Standpipe Point Homes development in Evansville, WI. The home site includes 6 single-family lots and is rich in history. The location is the site of an 80-foot-tall standpipe erected in the 1902 by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company. The standpipe was erected in response to over demand placed on cisterns located in the city. These reservoirs were used for firefighting and went dry during vast fires that erupted in the city obliterating local business within minutes. The standpipe was filled with water from top to bottom and worked flawlessly in this location during fires because of the hill on which it stands gave it enough pressure to deliver water anywhere in the city within minutes. Four lots remain available in the development. To secure a lot and financing reach out to one of our preferred lenders, Amber Foster and Julie Johnson to become part of the Standpipe Point Homes development.
