TVFCU announces the opening of its newest branch at 920 Vista Dr. in Dalton. The official grand opening is set for Aug. 18, with a week of celebratory events leading up to the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 22.
“The grand opening of our Dalton branch marks an exciting new chapter in how we serve this incredible community,” said Todd Fortner, CEO and president of TVFCU. “We’ve planned a week of meaningful events, local food, and community connection — all to celebrate the people who make Dalton special. We’re honored to grow alongside this community.”
The Dalton branch will be TVFCU’s largest to date, housed in a 15,000-square-foot, two-story building that also serves as the North Georgia regional headquarters. The second floor will host tvfcuLIVE and business services, supporting a wide range of member needs.
TVFCU partnered with local design/build firm Construction Consultants to create a distinctive branch. “Construction Consultants has been working with us for 25 years on a wide range of projects,” said John Merritt, VP of corporate strategy, “including the design and construction of new branches and the remodeling of numerous other TVFCU facilities.”
Created by River Street Architecture with the help of AI-assisted tools, the building design includes unique lighting features and a roof inspired by the wave motif in TVFCU’s logo. The 3D-printed wave panels on the front exterior were created by Branch Technology – a Chattanooga-based company. The entrance showcases a hand-painted concrete peacock and a 6-by-9-foot painting of a peacock feather by local artist Mayelli Meza.
The branch includes eight ITMs — five inside and three in the drive-thru. The lobby will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Fridays. The drive-thrus will be open 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Saturday. At opening, 25 employees will staff both floors, with space to grow. This location brings new jobs and elevated service to Dalton and surrounding Northwest Georgia communities.
“We’re proud to welcome the Dalton community with the same friendly service and affordable financial solutions that have made TVFCU a trusted name across the Tennessee Valley,” said Vonda Bledsoe, branch director.
