The Taylorville Community Credit Union (TCCU) announced that they are preparing to open the doors to its new Taylorville facility on Wednesday, August 5th. This marks the completion of months of planning, development, and construction.

According to TCCU President Will Perkins, the new building project took years to plan. Perkins also stated that before breaking ground on a design, the design team wanted to figure out what their members would want to see. Perkins also mentioned that thankfully, during construction there wasn’t much as far as setbacks go.

The new 6,303-square-foot building, located at 820 North Webster Street, has been designed to provide members with expanded services and greater convenience. According to TCCU President Will Perkins, the modern facility features an onsite ATM, private member service offices for opening accounts and conducting financial business, personalized drive-up service, and improved accessibility. The new location also additional workspace for staff and a community room that will be used for training sessions, meetings, and other events.

Perkins says the project was the result of a collaborative effort between the credit union's Board of Directors, management team, design and building partner Keeley Construction, and the City of Taylorville to ensure a brighter future for both members of the credit union as well as employees. Perkins also said that the biggest challenge with the project’s completion was himself. Perkins delayed the start of the project so that they can come up with a bigger end term goal before beginning construction.   

While the new branch officially opens for business on August 5, the credit union also plans to celebrate with a combined grand opening and Member Appreciation event in early September. Additional details on that event are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
