South Jersey Federal Credit Union Earns
2010 ‘New Good Neighbor’ Award
From New Jersey Business & Industry Association

Deptford, NJ – (June 8, 2010) – South Jersey Federal Credit Union (SJFCU) is the proud recipient of a 2010 “New Good Neighbor Award” from the New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA).

SJFCU was recognized for its new Corporate Center, which opened in the third quarter of 2009.
The award was presented at a luncheon held June 4 in Edison.

The Good Neighbor Awards, in their 50th year, are given in recognition of businesses which contribute to the economic value of their communities by constructing new buildings or investing in capital improvement projects. A distinguished panel of judges for the awards represented a wide variety of state organizations that share an interest in New Jersey’s growth and development. The panel considered each nominee on the basis of economic benefits/job creation, architectural merit and community involvement. There were a total of 50 nominees from throughout the state, and the panel selected only 14 for awards.

Out of the 14 awardees, South Jersey Federal Credit Union
was the only award recipient located in South Jersey. All the other
recipients are from the central or northern parts of the state.

The new SJFCU Corporate Center was built to allow the credit union to expand its call center and training facilities, and to house the human resources, business development, marketing, research and audit departments, as well as administrative offices. The 30,000-square-foot site was constructed following the environmentally-sound benchmark guidelines of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. The site was designed by R2Architects of Voorhees and built by IMC Construction of Malvern, Pa.

According to information in the June issue of New Jersey Business, NJBIA honors projects “that have created jobs, generated new local tax revenues and improved the quality of life in their communities. The goal of the New Good Neighbor Awards is to highlight the many positive contributions businesses make to the economy and to the state.”
