DOTHAN, Ala. – PenAir Credit Union has broken ground on its future Dothan branch, marking a significant investment in one of Southeast Alabama’s most dynamic and growing communities.
Community leaders, local officials, project partners, and PenAir team members gathered at the future branch site to celebrate the milestone and the credit union’s continued commitment to the Wiregrass region.
The new branch represents PenAir’s belief in the future of Dothan and the opportunities being created throughout the region. As a hub for healthcare, education, business, retail, and transportation, Dothan continues to attract investment, support economic growth, and serve as a center of opportunity for residents across the Wiregrass. PenAir’s investment reflects the credit union’s commitment to helping individuals, families, and businesses succeed as the community continues to grow.
“We’ve been privileged to serve members throughout Dothan and the Wiregrass for years, and today’s groundbreaking represents an important next step in that relationship,” said Lee Morgan, President and CEO of PenAir Credit Union. “This community is growing, creating opportunity, and investing in its future. We believe PenAir can play a meaningful role in that future by helping individuals, families, and businesses achieve their financial goals while being an active partner in the community.”
While the branch represents a new physical presence in Dothan, PenAir’s connection to the community is already well established. The credit union serves members throughout the area and has built relationships with individuals, families, and businesses across the Wiregrass. The new location will expand access to financial services, strengthen community partnerships, and create new opportunities to serve current and future members.
Designed to foster meaningful conversations and personalized financial guidance, the branch will provide a welcoming environment where members can connect with financial professionals, explore opportunities, and receive support through every stage of life. The branch reflects PenAir’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional service while remaining focused on its mission of Enhancing Lives.
“I became familiar with PenAir about a year ago when we went to finance a car for my child. To see PenAir break ground on a physical location is great to see, both as a PenAir member and a representative of the Chamber,” said Jessica Stetenpohl, VP of Investor Relations for the Dothan Chamber of Commerce. “This milestone really shows PenAir’s commitment to the Dothan community.”
