Redwood Credit Union comes to town!

Western Builders puts in the trench for the new RCU ATM.

Today ground was broken on the new ATM project here in Boonville. I’ve been in meetings with Redwood Credit Union for the past year or so to bring an ATM associated with the credit union to the Live Oak property. We had a few discussions regarding location that had to encompass electrical and access and we finally narrowed that down. Then the whole thing had to be engineered and then presented to the County for their approval.

Laura Diamondstone isa big reason that this has happened. She has been working on this project for a long time. She stopped by my office shortly after I purchased the Live Oak and asked me if I would be interested in having an ATM on site. I said yes, I would. I knew the town needed one associated with an institution and not just one for getting funds out of. I knew that this machine would be a draw for folks and would benefit the businesses at the Live Oak. It seems like a win-win.

This week there will be a lot of noise as the concrete is cut and the various cables placed in the new trench. The magnolias in the front of the property will be removed and re-homed elsewhere. Then the new concrete will be poured followed by a couple of weeks of curing time. After that the ATM machine itself will be installed. I will continue to update the community as things proceed. It’s an exciting time for sure!
