The re-opening of a Credit Union of Atlanta branch to serve in a historic and underserved area downtown here was one project the late President/CEO Dean Gaymon was working on before he passed away in July.
The $55 million CU re-opened its third branch on Auburn Avenue Aug. 31. Closed since May due to renovations, the branch was acquired from a merger between CU of Atlanta and Wheat Street Baptist Church Credit Union in early 2004. While the merger enhanced the products and services offered to members, the branch's design limited the amount of service staff could provide, according to Cassandra Brown, assistant vice president of marketing and business development at CUA. The redesign will afford members the opportunity to open new accounts and investments and apply for loans. The Sweet Auburn branch will also have a walk-up ATM and house the CU's call center.
Gaymon was shot and killed by a New Jersey undercover sheriff's detective July 16. The case is still under investigation.
