Credit Union authorizes 120000 for Austin renovations and MacGregor build
The Austin Credit Union Ltd board won approval to spend up to 120000 on renovations to their Austin office and the construction of a new MacGregor office. Two by-laws passed nearly unanimously, detailing 45000 for renovations and 875000 for the MacGregor project with land purchase east of the MacGregor post office. The plan includes a triple reinforced steel vault and expanded facilities, with a 20 year financing plan and depreciation. The aim is to complete both projects by summer, though exact plans for the MacGregor site remain with options near the post office or existing premises.
