In a letter to its members, the Columbia-Greene Federal Credit Union announced that it will close its Athens branch office later this month.

The branch at 3 N. Warren St., which was opened in 2007, will close Feb. 20.

The letter explained that the “prohibitive cost” of keeping the underutilized branch open led to the decision.

“We are currently exploring other branch location options to include the installation of a full-service ATM facility in Greene County,” the letter said.

Members will be able to make deposits and withdrawals as well as transfers and payments at the site, according to the letter.

“We are working on some new and exciting services coming your way this year at out Hudson branch, along with the launching of out new CGFCU website,” the letter said.

Kip Summerlin, the credit union’s director of marketing, said Thursday that more information on future plans will be made available.
