NICHOLASVILLE, Ky.– For the first time in the history of UK Federal Credit Union, a new UKFCU branch will be constructed outside of Fayette County lines.
UKFCU Leadership has broken ground on its new 4,500-square-foot facility to be built in Nicholasville at 201 Bryant Drive near Sam’s Club.
Surrounded by UKFCU employees and board members, local business owners, and Jessamine County government officials, the CEO and leadership team at UKFCU ceremonially broke ground signifying the beginning of construction on its seventh branch.
David Kennedy, president & CEO of UK Federal Credit Union, delivered a speech to attendees discussing the impact to the Nicholasville community that will transpire as a by-product of the $1.4-billion UKFCU moving in.
Kennedy also distributed two donations to local non-profit organizations: Habitat for Humanity and the Jessamine County Food Bank.
“We focus on being a community partner as we have found that when we invest and improve the community, we all benefit – our schools, our students, our neighbors, our businesses, simply everyone,” said Kennedy. “We’re excited to provide citizens of the Nicholasville Community another resource to help them on their path to financial wellness.”
The new branch, built by Marrillia Construction, will provide employment opportunities for up to nine individuals as membership grows.
