State Employees’ Credit Union Building – Downtown 2007 Perhaps one of the most noticeable changes is the addition of the 12-story State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) building. Construction on the tower began in 2009 but due to issues with one of the subcontractors, completion was delayed. At one time, SECU planned to lease some of the floors to tenants but due to membership growth, the credit union is using the entire building.
