FT. WALTON BEACH, Fla.–Eglin Federal Credit Union held a groundbreaking ceremony at its new Pace Branch location in a project that is being led by La Macchia Group.
This will be the second Eglin FCU branch located in Santa Rosa County. The Navarre Branch opened nearly 15 years ago. As part of its growth and expansion efforts, EFCU reported property was recently purchased at 4413 US-90 in Pace.
La Macchia Group is not only the design/build firm for the new Pace branch, but also for the credit union’s Operations Center and recently announced Freeport branch, all expected to be completed in 2023.
FOM Expansion
NCUA recently approved expanding EFCU’s field of membership to include anyone who lives, works (or regularly conducts business in), worships or attends school, and businesses and other legal entities in specific geographic locations within Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties, Florida and Escambia County, Alabama.
“We chose this location in Pace to provide convenient access to affordable products and services as well as financial wellness resources to our current members,” said Eglin FCU President/CEO Jerry Williams. “There are approximately 1,500 members along the Highway 90 corridor in Santa Rosa County, and we are excited to extend the benefits of membership to our new neighbors as well as add value to this community.”
New Branch Design
The Pace branch will be approximately 4,000 square feet and will showcase a new open branch design that features universal employees, a member engagement area with interactive touch screen monitors.
