Berkshire Bank is opening a new branch at 30 South Pearl Street in downtown Albany.

The Capital Region "has long been a key growth market for the bank," Berkshire said in a statement. The 3,000-square-foot branch includes meeting space and a MyTeller machine.

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Tuesday and a week-long open house from Monday through April 20, which will include product specials, giveaways and refreshments.
