LEXINGTON, KY (October 25, 2023) — For the first time in UK Federal Credit Union’s history, a new UKFCU branch will be constructed outside of Fayette County lines. On Wednesday, October 11th, UKFCU Leadership broke ground on their new 4,500-square-foot facility to be built in Nicholasville at 201 Bryant Drive near Sam’s Club.
Surrounded by UKFCU employees and board members, local business owners, and Jessamine County government officials, the CEO and leadership team at UKFCU ceremonially broke ground signifying the beginning of construction on its seventh branch. David Kennedy, President & CEO of UK Federal Credit Union, delivered a speech to attendees discussing the impact to the Nicholasville community that will transpire as a by-product of UKFCU moving in. Immediately illustrating that effect, Mr. Kennedy handed out two donations to local non-profit organizations – Habitat for Humanity and the Jessamine County Food Bank.
