Truity Credit Union donates $10,000 for the Tower Center at Unity Square
Bartlesville, Okla. – Downtown Bartlesville will soon host a unique venue for visitors and locals to enjoy music, art and events. The Tower Center at Unity Square project continues to take shape, transforming a once paved street into an urban green space filled with landscaping, water features, an outdoor performance space and more. At the Bartlesville City Council meeting on December 2, Truity Credit Union announced a gift of $10,000 towards the project.
“We are proud to support the Tower Center at Unity Square as construction nears completion,” said Truity President/CEO Dennis Halpin. “This new space is a remarkable and exciting addition to the Bartlesville community that will bring new opportunities and positively impact our members, employees, citizens and those that visit Bartlesville.”
Voters approved $1.75 million for the downtown community green space project in the General Obligation Bond Election held in March 2018. The space will be located between the Price Tower and the Bartlesville Community Center, at Sixth Street and Dewey Avenue, and will be maintained and operated by both organizations.
In addition to the public funding and Truity’s donation, other funds for the project have been received from the Lyon Foundation, Phillips 66, ConocoPhillips, the Parsons Foundation and Arvest Bank. In total, over $500,000 in donations has been received. Construction on the green space is underway and is expected to be completed in Spring 2020.
“This donation is a prime example of what the credit union movement is all about,” said Truity Business Development Manager Sara Freeman. “Because members choose to do business with Truity, we are able to support the communities where they live and work. Bartlesville has supported Truity for 80 years and the Tower Center at Unity Square is the perfect way to show our appreciation.”
