In June 1963, a small group of city employees met in an upstairs room of the South Main Street Fire Station (now the Attleboro Council on aging) to discuss forming a municipal credit union. This credit union would provide a convenient means of saving, and also provide members with low interest loans. Mr. Edward Healey, the City Treasurer, carried the credit union money around in a cigar box. The interested persons brought the idea to the city council for their approval to allow the City Treasurer, Edward Healey, to withhold payroll deductions. The City officials were reluctant for fear of financial costs, but were reassured. On December 17, 1963, Attleboro city employeesAo half-year-old proposal for adoption of a credit union was approved.
