HUDSON RIVER COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION  HOLDS CORINTH OPERATIONS CENTER GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY

Corinth, NY (September 28): Hudson River Community Credit Union (HRCCU) held a Groundbreaking Ceremony for their new Operations Center on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. at the site located on the grounds of the International Paper Company plant, 5th Avenue, Corinth, NY. The $3 million, two-story, 16,700 square foot Operations Center will be built on a 10 acre portion of the existing International Paper Company property.

3tarchitects, a progressive design and architecture firm located in downtown Albany, NY, was chosen to design the building. 3t focuses on creating designs that resonate with their clients, are community focused, and are sensitive to the environment. Their diverse portfolio showcases the team’s abounding talent, sophistication, creativity, knowledge and experience in the industry.

F.H. Alexander, Inc. of Ballston Lake, NY has been selected as the general contractor for the project based on their experience and reputation as well as their commitment to tap local market resources. The new building will house most of HRCCU’s operational staff. Construction will begin in the fall of 2011 with completion of the building slated for the fall of 2012.

“We are very excited to get this project underway,” says Susan Commanda, HRCCU CEO. “This is an important occasion for the credit union. HRCCU’s roots are in Corinth. The credit union was chartered by a group of International Paper Company employees in 1954. We are thrilled to be able to keep our main headquarters in the community that not only gave us our start, but whose strong support has been a major contributing factor to the credit union’s continued success.”
