Frontier Bank will fill the former Austin Institute of Austin building downtown. The AIA closed all of its locations in the fall of 2023.

What to expect

The two-story, 9,000-square-foot space will offer loan and deposit services for customers, and serve as a board room, training facility and flexible office space for employees, according to a news release.

“This expansion brings added convenience to new and existing customers while addressing growth needs now and in the years ahead,” COO Evelyn Franco said in the release.

“Knowing that Bastrop ISD has art programs ranging from elementary school to high school, we thought that the art supplies would be utilized and appreciated by students across the district,” Franco said in an email to Community Impact.
