Effective Friday, Jan. 7, 2022, the Fifth Third Bank branch in downtown Marion will close for good and customers will have to go elsewhere to do their business. Since the announcement about the closing, officials with the city of Marion have approached Fifth Third Bank officials about possibly donating the building at 14 S. Main St. The cupola over the 118-year-old building has become an important part of the city of Marion’s official logo and can be seen on welcome signs, mugs, letterheads and Websites.
