Buckeye State Credit Union Opens New Main Street Office
March 27, 2024, Akron, Ohio — In November 2023, Buckeye State Credit Union relocated to 195 S. Main St. in downtown Akron from their former location at Canal Place. Now, they announce a ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the move to their new offices, which will take place Thursday, March 28, 2024, beginning at 4 pm.
The ceremony will include opening remarks from Buckeye State Credit Union CEO Mike Abernathy followed by remarks from Congresswoman Emilia Sykes (tentative) and a representative from the City of Akron Mayor’s office, the ribbon cutting itself, refreshments and tours of their new building. This event is open to the public.
With their new headquarters located in the heart of downtown, Buckeye State Credit Union plans to direct resources toward Main Street consumers and small businesses, as opposed to larger investors. They believe that providing financial services to the local community is what helps it to grow and flourish.
