Big Horn Federal readies for new facility

WORLAND – Big Horn Federal Savings Bank in Worland, 1006 Big Horn Avenue, has moved into a temporary facility while the former bank building is in the first stages of being removed and replaced with a new, upgraded and larger building.

“We’re happy to announce that there will be no service interruption to our customers,” said Branch Manager Tad DeBolt, noting that drive-up service, walk-in business and night drop deposits will continue at the temporary building, while construction is scheduled to be completed by November 2018, by Hughes Truss of Worland.

“The new building should be a pretty good deal,” said DeBolt. “We’re going to replace on the same site with a larger building and technology to prepare us for the next 20 years of banking.”

DeBolt also noted that the building floor plan will copy the Big Horn Federal Savings facility in Thermopolis, with the addition of a community meeting room for area meetings and groups.

“The new building will complete the theme for Big Horn Federal around the Big Horn Basin and we’re really looking forward to the upgrades,” said DeBolt.

Big Horn Federal Savings has operated in Wyoming since 1935, and currently has branches in Greybull, Cody, Thermopolis, Powell, Lovell and Worland.
