Based in Statesboro, Georgia, CORE Credit Union readies for permitting and preconstruction with Consultants and Builders, Inc. as partner for their new Port Wentworth, GA branch prototype.

Similar to multiple projects previously completed for CORE CU, CBI plans for the new branch to serve members with efficient layout and circulation, office meeting space, durable furnishings, memorable marketing, visual displays, and easily accessible ITMs. The exterior design of this approximately 2,750 square foot, free-standing branch will incorporate design elements echoing local development covenants, and to maximize visibility and marketing opportunities during day and night.

CBI’s efficient design ultimately lowers construction cost, while the addition of advanced technology maximizes operational efficiency and return on investment for CORE CU.

The new branch will be off Lakeside Boulevard adjacent to the Rice Hope development and an integral part of the Port Wentworth Master Plan Overlay. The branch will better serve members with efficient layout and circulation, office meeting space, durable furnishings, memorable marketing, visual displays, and easily accessible ATM. The exterior design of this approximately 2,400 square foot, free-standing branch will incorporate design elements echoing the local covenants, and to maximize visibility and marketing opportunities during day and night. CBI’s efficient design ultimately lowers construction cost, while the addition of advanced technology maximizes operational efficiency and return on investment for CORE CU.

Consultants and Builders, Inc. has completed many projects for CORE CU over the last decade including their Statesboro Market District Main Office, branch renovations, and furniture additions. We appreciate the opportunity from CORE CU and the continued partnership.

Originally chartered in 1941, the Credit Union served the financial needs of USPS employees and their family members in over 37 Florida counties. As membership continued to expand over the years throughout the state, the Credit Union dropped “District” from its name to become Tampa Postal Federal Credit Union. In 2003, Tampa Postal FCU expanded its charter to include Select Employee Groups. These are local companies close to a branch location that wish to offer the benefits of credit union membership to their employees. Tampa Postal FCU continues to live by its founding purpose – to help its members achieve their financial goals in both the good and challenging times.

In collaborating with Consultants and Builders, the new Tampa Postal FCU branch will utilize an efficient layout and circulation, office meeting space, durable furnishings, fresh marketing, visual displays, and easily accessible ATM. The exterior design of this 1,700 square foot, free-standing branch will incorporate design elements in keeping with the Fort Myers Urban Center District to maximize visibility and marketing opportunities. The efficient design lowers construction cost, while the addition of advanced technology maximizes operational efficiency and return on investment.
