The Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. announced on Friday it will begin servicing the small businesses of Kings County.

Founded by its chairman John L. Scott, LIAACC’s mission is to advance and promote economic development and advance responsive government and quality education for small businesses in Long Island and now including the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Kings.

“LIAACC believes that Kings County will significantly benefit from a regional chamber of commerce of this magnitude due to the significant number of African American business owners in Brooklyn,” said LIAACC President Phil Andrews.
