Nassau County, NY – Ground was broken in Hempstead (Nassau County, Long Island), NY for the future home of the Law Office of Frederick K. Brewington. The purchase and renovation of an existing building in Hempstead was financed with a $1.2 million loan from the Grow Nassau Fund, administered by NDC’s Grow America Fund. The financing utilized a combination of Small Business Administration loan guarantee authority and the benefits of the New Markets Tax Credit provided by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Community Development Corporation. The renovated 7,500 square foot building will double the space for this rapidly growing practice, a minority-owned firm that employs 15 and specializes in civil rights, criminal and personal injury litigation.
