Community First plans to renovate the space and open the new location by late 2026.
This won’t be just any branch. The credit union says it’ll be the most unique one they’ve ever built.
It’ll include a front lawn with a food area, a room for community events, and a design that fits the neighborhood.
The inside will be reconfigured to match the bakery’s original structure.
There will also be a drive-thru, a new parking lot, and a mural showing old photos from the area.
