Northwest Community Credit Union: Groundbreaking Ceremony
On June 17th, Northwest Community Credit Union held a groundbreaking ceremony at the building site located next to the Federal Courthouse on 8th and Ferry Street. It was a great turnout and celebrated a new 67,000 sf support center facility located in the Courthouse District in downtown Eugene. Northwest Community Credit Union's new headquarters will provide convenient downtown access to members and support growth.
