Bigger and Better Linn Area Credit Union Open for Business in Marion

After roughly 22 years at its 31st Street location, the Marion branch of Linn Area Credit Union now boasts a new home and updated design. The relocated branch opened on January 7 at 3375 7th Avenue, in Lincolnview Square.

Jim Hagerman, the credit union’s chief executive, said he’s been excited about the .

The new 7th Avenue branch of the credit union is larger, with a higher ceiling and a more spacious reception area. Hagerman described the design as part of a “concierge approach.” He said this layout will likely be more functional, allowing employees to interact more with members of the credit union.

New features also include a bigger drive-up facility and a nicer, upscale appearance, Hagerman said.

He added the credit union has a large membership in Marion, consisting of several thousand members.

On Monday morning, the Marion Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting at the new location. Mayor Allen “Snooks” Bouska attended the event, where credit union employees gathered for photos, short speeches, and breakfast.
