The official groundbreaking for Casco Federal Credit Union’s addition to their Main Street Gorham location took place on Tuesday, May 7. The groundbreaking was a celebration of the new addition and the updates to the existing building.

Marti Allen, Casco FCU President/ CEO stated that, “This is an exciting year for Casco FCU because along with this addition that will give us space to grow, we are also celebrating our 70th anniversary. This opportunity to expand will allow the credit union to continue to invest in our community.” He also stated that, “Our team at Casco FCU is focused on merging 70 years of experience with the needs of our members.”

Allen went on to praise the work and cooperation of Great Falls Construction and said that he was thankful for the work of their entire team. Allen further stated that, “Relationships are important to the credit union and to be able to do business with another local business such as Great Falls, makes this event even more special.” On hand for the groundbreaking were representatives from Great Falls Construction, Casco FCU Board of Directors, and the Town of Gorham Economic Division. Members of the different organizations took turns throwing a silver shovel full of dirt as part of the ceremony. The addition is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024.
