FREMONT, MI (August 22, 2024) |

Gerber Federal Credit Union (Gerber FCU) donated $30,000 to add an above ground water feature to the Splash Pad project to be constructed downtown Fremont in the Veteran's Memorial Park. Funds for the base project have already been appropriated and construction is set to begin later this summer.

“We are so pleased to enhance the attractiveness of downtown Fremont for residents, shoppers and visitors.  Not only do these placemaking projects improve quality of life, they also increase the value of our members’ investments in this community,” said John P. Buckley, Jr., Gerber FCU President/CEO. "We anticipate a thriving downtown scene in Fremont, centered around the new Splash Pad," he continued.
