An iconic stalwart at the North-Pulaski intersection since opening its doors in 1925, Pioneer was one of the few banks to survive the Great Depression of 1929. Vacant since 2009, it will be returned to community use thanks to $54M in funding from the INVEST South/West Initiative and a coalition comprised of Team Pioneros, JGMA, Park Row Development, and All Construction Group.
