On June 16, 2016, Western AgCredit held an open house, ribbon cutting and dedication at their new office in Richfield. The new building, located at 63 E. 600 N., has more office space, meeting rooms, improved accessibility and an updated work environment.

Western AgCredit’s chairman of the board, Shirelle Erb, in conjunction with directors from Western AgCredit and the Chamber of Commerce performed the ribbon cutting. After the ribbon cutting, Erb dedicated the building to Daniel Anderson, a Western AgCredit Director from Oak City, UT that passed away in March of 2016. In her remarks, she talked about what an asset he was to Western AgCredit and how much he is missed on the board.

After a dedicatory prayer offered by Director Wayne Smith, the group moved to the sidewalk in front of the building where a memorial bench has been placed in memory of Jay Holt, a beloved Richfield loan officer that passed away in 2014. In his remarks, Branch Manager Robert Wheeler remembered Jay’s enthusiasm and his commitment to customers, coworkers, friends, church, community, and, most importantly, his family.

“Daniel and Jay both brought humanity to Western AgCredit. They showed us the right way to do things for the good of the company, staff and stakeholders,” said Western AgCredit’s President Richard Weathered. “We’ll work hard to be worthy of everything they would expect of us.”

Employees in the Richfield Branch are excited to continue to provide a dependable source of credit to Richfield and the surrounding area from their new office.
