Armco Credit Union recently celebrated the grand opening of their new Mars, PA branch with a flag raising ceremony, a truly incredible sight with a 600 square foot flag on a 70 foot pole! Check out the flag raising ceremony and a time-lapse of the construction in the video below.
The Mars branch project created a new branch prototype for Armco Credit Union, as well as established a more visible presence in a high growth market. It features an open, welcoming space centered around conversations and building relationships. This is a hub branch featuring a diverse range of services, including investments and financial planning, and the unassigned hotel offices lining the branch provide staff an opportunity to move between branch locations and provide specialized services as needed.
Armco Credit Union has also demonstrated their commitment to the local community. The retail space is actually the smallest component of the building, which features a large community room that functions as an event space and small business incubator. The small business landscape is thriving, and by supporting them with this incubator space Armco is exposing more organizations to the credit union movement and expanding their SEG base.
An on top of that, every one of the 34 subcontractors used on the project were local and nearly nine out of ten dollars spent on every part of the project stayed local.
