The Michigan State University Federal Credit Union broke ground on their newest branch
last week, the North Marsh Branch, located in Bath Township. The
estimated $3.8 million project is being managed by Granger Construction
and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2012.
The location of the North Marsh Branch was chosen because of increased traffic in the MSUFCU's Meridian Township.
"It
is one of our busiest branch locations," says April M. Clobes,
Executive Vice President for MSUFCU. "This is the best location to
relieve some of that traffic. We also have many members to the north of
this location, and this will help serve those members."
The 7,800
square foot facility will be designed to look similar to existing
locations, and will be most like the branch on Jolly and Cedar. It will
employ 12-15 new employees, who will be hired in advance of the branch's
opening and begin work in other locations.
"We will plan to
have enough people hired ahead to get them trained," Clobes says. "When
we open a new branch we pull employees from other branches so we have
some experienced and some new people. That way we have a very
knowledgeable staff that is able to take care of the membership."
