Credit unions are in a unique position to reach out to the community. But they tend to be places where customers conduct their business, then leave. At a new branch of Magnify Credit Union in Lakeland, Fla., customers buy ice cream, attend wine tastings and gardening workshops in a multi-purpose community room. An outdoor pavilion and plaza provides a public space for events that can develop an identity over time.
