Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce meets with city leaders
Advocates exchange ideas on growing borough’s economy
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has traveled over the years to Washington, D.C. and to Albany to meet with influential lawmakers at the federal and state levels to promote the borough’s economic agenda. But until this year, the Chamber had not organized a delegation to go to City Hall to talk up Brooklyn businesses.
That changed on Sept. 27, when Chamber President and CEO Andrew Hoan and Chairwoman Denise Arbesu led a delegation of more than 50 members for the organization’s inaugural City Legislative Visit.
It was the first such visit in the Chamber’s nearly 100-year history.
