Local company Paramount Builders has been assisting the staff of the Development Bank of American Samoa (DBAS) move their office equipment to their new office in Pago Pago.

The new DBAS office is located in the exact same spot where the former office was, prior to its complete destruction by the 2009 earthquake/tsunami. This month will mark five years since DBAS relocated its operations to the second floor of the Lumana’i Building in Fagatogo.

The payment windows are still open and business hours remain the same: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The official grand opening of the FEMA-funded $3-million-dollar building in Pago Pago is set for Thursday, Sept. 18
