West Des Moines, IA, January 18, 2008:  VisionBank is moving from its temporary location on West Lakes Parkway to a permanent facility at 620 S. 60th Street in the Village of Ponderosa in West Des Moines.  The new location will provide the basic amenities such as a drive-thru, and ATM as well as an espresso bar and concierge to welcome customers.
