renovate
The historic bank building could be renovated to accommodate daily operations of the Homer City branch office of S&T Bank. Since its construction in 1909, several additions have been built to the east and south of the building. Those could be demolished and a new addition accommodating the branch's current needs could be constructed.

relocate
The S&T Homer City branch office could relocate to another commercial property within the borough while sparing the historic 34 North Main Street property. Nearby locations such as those at the intersection of West Church Street & Railroad Avenue would be a prime location. Or, perhaps, a portion of one of the vast and under-used parking lots in town (i.e. Syntron/Accent Fuels) could be purchased.

innovate
The bank building could be donated to the borough for use as a community center. The building would become a natural extension to the Floodway Park/Hoodlebug Trail complex and could house a permanent home to the Homer Center Public Library, meeting and multi-purpose space, year-round exhibitry for the Historical Society, a senior center and more. Surely, this could be a sizable tax write off for the donor...
