Construction is underway on the future home of Los Alamos Schools Credit Union at 1010 Central Ave. Workers are shown here Monday removing some of the Cottonwood trees on the site. Community Development Department Director Paul Andrus told the Los Alamos Daily Post that not all of the trees will be removed, adding that Cottonwoods have a short lifespan. Los Alamos County sold the parcel of land to the credit union in January for $360,950. Project completion is scheduled for May 2021. Photo by Kirsten Laskey/ladailypost.com
