Chase Bank is working on plans to open a Downtown Youngstown branch across the street from the site of a deadly explosion that destroyed its former location.

Documents have been filed with the city for illuminated “Chase” signs that would be posted on the exterior of the Stambaugh Building that now houses the Double Tree hotel and Casa di Canzonetta restaurant.

The building is on the northeast corner of East Federal Street and Wick Avenue, just across the street from the now vacant site of the former Chase Bank branch in the Realty Building which was demolished after the May 28, 2024 explosion that claimed the life of a Chase Bank employee.
