Premier Farm Credit, an agricultural lender serving Northeast Colorado, has broken ground on a new office building at 210 S. 3rd Avenue in Sterling. By bringing its two Sterling locations together under one roof, the cooperative aims to deliver a more seamless, efficient, and technology forward experience for its members. The new facility will simplify access to services and expertise while positioning the cooperative for sustained growth.
“We’ve outgrown our current Sterling spaces, and this new building reflects our commitment to serving members more efficiently and effectively,” said Chris Hornung, CEO of the Association. “This investment strengthens our operations without affecting member interest rates or our strong patronage program.”
Bringing Sterling lending and administrative teams into one location will enhance communication and collaboration, while creating a more convenient, one stop experience for customers.
Designed to be practical and efficient rather than elaborate, the facility reflects Premier Farm Credit’s focus on responsible stewardship. It will also support key technology upgrades to improve speed, security, and overall service. With expanded space and modern infrastructure, the cooperative will be well positioned to adapt as member needs evolve.
“We’re investing for the future – ensuring we deliver excellent service for generations to come,” Hornung said. “The new facility provides the space, tools, and technology needed to support agriculture and rural communities across our region.”
The project affects only the Sterling offices. Locations in Yuma, Fort Morgan, and Holyoke will remain open, fully staffed, and committed to delivering the same high level of service.
Construction will continue in the coming months, with updates shared as progress is made. The anticipated move in date is Summer 2027.
