It’s going to be a busy 2013 for
Option 1 Credit Union in Lansing. The Grand Rapids-based organization will be moving, growing and building in the New Year. The changes will include two new facilities, and a short move to a renovated space.
The Option 1 Credit Union in the Sparrow Professional Building will close in January in advance of the upcoming new locations. One new branch will be located on Hagadorn and Lake Lansing Road, and the other will also be on Lake Lansing Road, near their current West Road location.
While the construction is underway on the new locations, the West Road branch will not only continue its service, but will share the space with
CASE Credit Union.
“Credit unions are always known for being very collaborative and cooperative,” says Option 1 Vice President-Marketing Jerri Schmidt.
Additionally, the Option 1 Credit Union branch on South Cedar will also be making a move, albeit a short one. The bank will transition into a newly renovated space right door.
Option 1 Credit Union currently employs a staff of about 125 in the Lansing area. The various transitions will result in about three new positions immediately, though Schmidt says she expect that to be just the beginning of the credit union’s growth in the region.
The board of directors and staff of Option 1 further demonstrated their commitment to the Lansing area by recently forgoing a staff holiday party to instead donate $1,500 to the Greater Lansing Food Bank.
