The renovation of our branch was undertaken with a clear goal: to ensure every person feels valued and at home when they walk through our doors. At the Grand Reopening celebration, President and CEO Shanda Smith commented: “Our goal was to create a space that feels inviting, where every person knows they matter and belong. Redesigning the branch was all about that vision, and thanks to these local businesses, we were able to bring it to life.”
