By Marv Balousek

Another credit union is planned for Trailwinds Village, north of County Road 466A near Pinellas Plaza.

Florida Credit Union, based in Gainesville, will open a branch along Seven Mile Drive east of Trailwinds Boulevard.

Special Magistrate Lindsay C.T. Holt recommended approval of a site plan for the 5,827-square-foot credit union at a meeting Tuesday of the Wildwood Planning and Zoning Committee. The City Commission is expected to act on the site plan later this month.
