Rockville-United merger awaits investors’ nod

Merger partners Rockville Bank of Glastonbury and United Bank of West Springfield have cleared their final regulatory hurdle and now await the approval of their stockholders to close their $369 million merger.

Both banks announced Monday that Massachusetts banking regulators have okayed their proposed late spring combination into a Hartford-Springfield area regional community bank with about $5 billion in assets.

Connecticut and federal bank regulators had previously blessed the merger.

Stockholders of both banks are due to meet at separate annual meetings April 8 to ratify the deal.
