Sidney, NY – James A. Doig, President/CEO of Sidney Federal Credit Union (SFCU) today announced that the SFCU Board of Directors has approved the construction of a new headquarters facility in Sidney.
Over the past few years, SFCU Management explored numerous renovation options for the current facility on Union Street in Sidney. It was determined that the most practical and least expensive option was to construct a new building on the parking lot adjacent to the current facility. This will allow additional space to support current operations, long term growth projections, and add additional drive thru lanes to better serve the Credit Union’s members.
In June of 2007, SFCU employed the services of Norman J. Davies, AIA of Binghamton to design a headquarters building that takes optimum advantage of the Union Street site and positions SFCU for continued future growth.
On April 22, 2009, the SFCU Board gave their approval to proceed with construction. Eastman Associates of Oneonta, NY was awarded the general contract to construct the proposed new 28,970 square foot, two story building. Other contractors selected include: A. Treffeisen & Son from Oneonta, Blanding Electric, Inc. from Vestal, H.J. Brandeles Corp. from Utica, Barney & Sons Well Drilling from Laurens, and SRI Fire Sprinkler Corp. from Albany. Once construction is complete, the existing facility will be removed.
The new headquarters will feature many environmentally friendly (green) building concepts. Follow progress of the new building project by signing up for the SFCU HQ Building Blog available from the Credit Union’s website at www.sfcuonline.org. The blog will feature updates of the building’s progress and information about the green building methods going into the project.
