Credit union bringing financial services to south Modesto’s bustling Crows Landing [The Modesto Bee]
Dec. 13 South Modesto’s Crows Landing Road bustles with commerce. The commercial strip features used car lot after used car lot, an abundance of car repair businesses, a pharmacy, about a half-dozen grocery stores, restaurants, taquerias and taco trucks, and stores selling everything from cell phones and home furnishings to clothing and appliances. There is even a travel agency and a bait shop.
One business missing in this primarily Latino and poor community is a financial institution. There is no bank or credit union in south Modesto. The closest are several miles away in downtown Modesto or Ceres.
