M&T Bank (MTB, Financial) has announced a significant expansion in its community and regional development efforts by securing exclusive naming rights for the new M&T Bank Center. The upcoming state-of-the-art events venue is set to open in Summer 2025 at Mohawk Harbor, Schenectady, NY. The center is poised to serve as a regional hub for live entertainment, sporting events, and community celebrations.
The M&T Bank Center will be the home of Union College's Division 1 hockey programs, alongside hosting a variety of headline entertainment acts throughout the year. This development is part of a broader multi-year partnership with the Galesi Group, reinforcing M&T Bank's commitment to supporting the revitalization of the Schenectady area.
Mohawk Harbor is undergoing a $650 million mixed-use development project, featuring luxury apartments, hotels, offices, retail, and the Rivers Casino & Resort.

"We are truly honored to introduce our community to the M&T Bank Center," said Charles Pinckney, M&T Bank Regional President for the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. "Schenectady's ongoing revitalization is critically important to the long-term growth of the entire Capital Region. When the M&T Bank Center officially opens, Mohawk Harbor will be further poised to emerge as an entertainment destination that will encourage tourism, business growth, new investment, residential activity, and more."
