SYRACUSE — The lobby of the Syracuse Fire Department Employees Federal Credit Union has reopened following renovation work that started in June 2020. 

The lobby reopened March 8. It had been closed since March 2020 “due to COVID-19,” the credit union said in a March 4 news release. 

The Syracuse Fire Credit Union is located at 211 Wilkinson St.

Rich & Gardner Construction Company of Syracuse handled the renovation work, and architect Daniel Manning completed the design work on the project, Valerie Wilder, the credit union’s marketing assistant, tells CNYBJ in an email.

The renovation included infrastructure improvements, such as a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system; an entrance that’s compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act; new electrical, and updated bathroom facilities. 

Other improvements included a new coin machine, a waiting area, teller pods, and a conference room with upgraded technology. 

The credit union also notes that it will be limiting the number of people in the building at any one time, as the pandemic continues. 

The Syracuse Fire Department Employees Federal Credit Union, which was established in 1950, primarily serves firefighters, Syracuse police, the Syracuse employees, and members of the Syracuse Department of Public Works.
