The ACA was founded in 1939 . At the time , the Binghamton area had a large number of European immigrants coming into the area that were working in the many factories of the Endicott Johnson Corporation . The agency later constructed an office and banquet facility on Front Street in the city and maintains these facilities currently for receptions , events , classes , and other activities . The ACA 's offices were the scene of a violent shooting incident in April 2009
