LGE Community Credit Union recently celebrated the completion of its building at the Cobb County Safety Village with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The event marks a significant milestone in LGE’s long-term partner ship with the Cobb County Safety Village Foundation, reinforcing the credit union’s commitment to safety education and community engagement.
Members of the Cobb County Safety Village Foundation board of directors, and LGE leadership, including President and CEO Chris Leggett, gathered to commemorate the occasion.
“LGE is committed to supporting and promoting safe ty education for the communities we serve,” said Chris Leggett. “We’re honored to be part of the Safety Village and to contribute to a space where children and families can learn life-saving skills in a hands-on, engaging environment.”
“We are thrilled to welcome LGE’s new building to the Safety Village,” said Allison Carter, Safety Village Director. “Our partnership allows us to further our mission of providing the highest quality safety education and training available. LGE and the Safety Village’s missions could not align any better.”
The LGE building joins the Safety Village’s unique 8-acre campus, which features reduced-scale buildings, streets, and traffic signals that simulate a real town representing the Cobb County community. The Safety Village offers children and families the opportunity to learn about fire, pedestrian, bicycle, and home safety through role-playing scenarios and hands-on exercises.
The ribbon cutting follows the groundbreaking ceremony held in 2024, where LGE announced its long-term partnership and unveiled plans for the new building.
