MORGANTOWN, WV — First United Bank & Trust officially cut the ribbon for its new WestRidge office on Wednesday, Dec. 17. This modern office, conveniently located at 46 Red Dog Way, Westover, WV 26501, marked a significant milestone as the bank continues to grow alongside the vibrant Morgantown community.

Positioned just off Interstate 79, the community office offers improved accessibility and a fresh, customer-focused environment designed to make banking easier and more convenient for customers throughout the region.
“This ribbon-cutting is more than a celebration of a new building; it’s a celebration of our commitment to Morgantown,” said Carissa Rodeheaver, CEO and President of First United Bank & Trust. “We’ve listened to our customers and invested in a location that meets their needs today and positions us for growth tomorrow.”
Cody Sustakoski, Regional Market President, shared his enthusiasm for the move. “Our new WestRidge office reflects the energy and growth happening in this area,” he said. “It’s a prime location that allows us to stay connected to our customers and continue delivering the personalized service they expect from First United.”
“This space was designed with our customers in mind,” added Carmen Pennington, Regional Retail Manager. “From improved accessibility to a welcoming atmosphere, we’re excited to provide a banking experience that’s both convenient and comfortable.”
