Davenport's Hilltop Campus Village Welcomes Ascentra to the Neighborhood BETTENDORF - Ascentra Credit Union will break ground for a new branch to be built on the corner of Brady and Locust Streets in Davenport on Friday, Oct. 17 at 4:00 p.m. This new branch will replace the nearby branch Ascentra merged in with Scott Schools Credit Union in 2013. It will provide convenient access to members and future members of the credit union in a very visible location. The state of the art facility will have the distinct Ascentra look similar to their new Bettendorf branch. The 3,400 square ft. structure will feature family friendly amenities, will beautify the landscape and enhance pedestrian access to the corner in the Hilltop Campus Village. Ascentra looks forward to opening this office in late spring 2015. Located within walking distance from St. Ambrose University and Palmer College of Chiropractic, this branch will provide much needed access to financial services for students in the heart of our community. "We look forward to working within an area of Davenport that is vibrant and very diverse," Ascentra President and CEO Dale Owen says. "This is a wonderful location for our business, and we have been very pleased to work with the City staff, the City Council, the Design Review Board and the Hilltop Campus Village organization." "Ascentra has seized a terrific opportunity by redeveloping a prominent corner site within the historic Hilltop Campus Village of Davenport," said Joshua A. Schoenemann, Design Project Manager for LaMacchia Group, the construction and design firm for the project. "In addition to convenient vehicular accessibility off Brady and Locust, the enhanced landscaping and pedestrian connection demonstrates the credit union's desire to immerse themselves into the fabric of the community they are serving. I feel the students, residents and visitors of this mixed-use neighborhood will greatly appreciate the effort Ascentra has put into adapting its signature look and feel to fit amongst the unique excitement of the area," Schoenemann added.
