WHEREAS, CommonCents Credit Union celebrated the |
|
|
groundbreaking of its new building in Winnie on October 10, 2023; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Originally known as Goodyear Federal Credit Union, |
|
|
this financial institution was first chartered on August 20, 1963, |
|
|
in an office at the Goodyear Beaumont Chemical Plant; the credit |
|
|
union soon moved to an adjacent parcel of land donated by the plant, |
|
|
and that location continues to serve as its main office; it became |
|
|
community chartered in 2004, and it took on its current name, |
|
|
CommonCents Credit Union, in 2016; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, the credit union has expanded its |
|
|
reach, opening a branch in Winnie and a second location in Beaumont, |
|
|
and it provides members with 24/7 access to their accounts through |
|
|
online banking, an automated response teller, and a mobile banking |
|
|
app; today, CommonCents Credit Union serves more than 3,000 members |
|
|
and has over $32 million in assets; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The new facility will replace the existing Winnie |
|
|
location, which has been housed in a modular building since it |
|
|
opened in 2009; the updated space will allow the credit union to |
|
|
better serve its customers in Chambers County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For six decades, CommonCents Credit Union has |
|
|
provided jobs and valuable services to the region, and it is indeed |
|
|
deserving of recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the |
|
|
groundbreaking of the new CommonCents Credit Union building in |
|
|
Winnie and extend to all those associated with the credit union |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for CommonCents Credit Union as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
