Lower Allen Township-based Members 1st Credit Union was recognized among the top 300 mortgage-granting credit unions in the United States as of March 31, according to the American Credit Union Mortgage Association (ACUMA).

Members 1st Federal Credit Union closed a deal Friday afternoon for a piece of land in Hampden Township that will house its new headquarters.

After securing land development approval, Members 1st Federal Credit Union hopes to begin construction on a new headquarters in Hampden Township in early 2020.

Members 1st Federal Credit Union has proposed a three-story, 172,000-square-foot headquarters in Hampden Township. The Cumberland County credit union has hired Greenfield Architects and Mowery to design and oversee construction of the proposed project, which needs township approval.
