CBI was recently awarded the contract to design and build a micro-branch for Peach State FCU in Central Gwinnett High School. Design is underway and the project will commence while school is out for the summer. This branch will consist of a teller-pod delivery system accompanied by a full service ATM. This branch will be teamed up with an entrepreneurial business program developed for the students with onsite bank training. The focus is to serve the students as well as teachers and staff.
LGE Community Credit Union recently celebrated the opening of the credit union’s newest branch in Canton, GA. The Canton branch is the first branch CBI has constructed for LGE from the ground up. All previous branch projects were either build-out of space in a shopping center or renovation of an existing building. The most recent project prior to the Canton project represented a change to a new retail business model for LGE incorporating advanced function ATMs for handling all transactions. This was initiated at the Roswell, GA branch and has been so successful that the credit union decided to implement the concept in the Canton, GA branch.
The new branch is 4,000 sq.ft. and features advanced function ATMs for all transactions along with engagement stations nearby for meeting with members to discuss their financial needs. In addition to conventional financial transactions, the Canton facility offers Insurance, Investments, Real Estate/Mortgage Lending and Traditional Lending, including auto and personal loans. The facility features the branded look and feel of LGE facilities and personal bankers will greet members and guests as they enter the facility in the defined engagement zone. Personnel for this facility are chosen for their ability to interact and engage with members and will be trained in all areas of product offerings so that members financial needs can be met with minimum involvement of additional specialists.

Panhandle Educators Federal Credit Union is celebrating the grand opening of its sixth office location on Wednesday, January 27th. CBI designed and built the new 2,700 SF branch which is located at 4295 Highway 231 in Panama City, FL. Greg Frith, President/CEO of the credit union stated, “CBI’s Superintendent, Terry Caruthers, was readily available and always quick to respond to any concerns from us. He worked well with the subcontractors for an expedient and thorough job. We are excited about the feedback we have received and look forward to serving this growing area of our county.”
The major renovation and addition to Farmers State Bank’s main office in Lincolnton, GA is now complete. CBI was chosen to expand and renovate the bank’s existing building, largely due to CBI’s experience with complex renovations and additions involving multiple stages of construction while also having the ability to keep the bank open and the employees safe.
The finished facility includes an addition of 5,000 sf and the original 10,000 sf facility was completely repurposed and updated throughout. The addition is located behind the existing facility and is connected with a bridge from the main level of the retail branch. The two-story addition includes operations, a community room, the employee break room and a kitchen.
