AUSTIN/April 22, 2005 – Comerica Bank will host a dedication ceremony at 3:30 p.m. April 28 at the construction site of its new Louis Henna-I35 branch, 115 Louis Henna, in Round Rock.

The ceremony is scheduled to include remarks by Jim Gwisdala, Comerica’s executive vice president of Personal Financial Services in Texas, and Round Rock Mayor Nyle Maxwell.

"With Round Rock’s population growing by 159 percent since 1990, and Williamson County being the second-fastest growing urban county in Texas during the past decade, it makes extremely good business sense for Comerica to be part of the Round Rock community," Gwisdala said.

He added that Round Rock’s diverse economy and healthy business environment are other desirable factors involved in building a branch in the thriving community. "It’s very important that we are close to both our business and consumer customers," Gwisdala explained.

Upon completion of the new location, Comerica will close its current Wells branch location, a leased space, and offer its existing customers the same comprehensive services at the Louis Henna-I35 office. The Wells branch staff also will make the move, giving customers a seamless transition from one location to another.

"Comerica is committed to the success of our customers, and we purchased the Round Rock site with a stand-alone branch and convenience for our customers in mind," Gwisdala said. "The new branch also will have the added convenience of an attached drive-in facility and a drive-up ATM lane that is accessible 24/7."
Comerica’s Louis Henna-I35 branch is scheduled to open in late August.

The Texas Division of Comerica Bank includes 52 branch offices in the key Texas markets of Dallas, Houston and Austin. Comerica Bank is a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA), a financial services company strategically aligned into the Business Bank, Small Business and Personal Financial Services, and Wealth and Institutional Management. Comerica focuses on relationships, and helping businesses and people be successful. Comerica Incorporated reported total assets of $53.5 billion at March 31, 2005.
