Mayor Noam Bramson?

Noam Bramson will be leaving his job as Mayor of New Rochelle at the end of 2023 a er 18 years in o ce. However, the Democratic o cial will not be starting 2024 in consultation with recruiters or scanning potential job openings on LinkedIn and Indeed – his next job has already been secured and publicly announced.

Sustainable Westchester, the Mount Kisco-based nonpro t focused on clean energy solutions and environmental justice, has named Bramson to take on the role of executive director once he departs New Rochelle’s City Hall. He will assume the reins of leadership from Jim Kuster, who has served as the organization’s interim executive director last November a er Nina Orville stepped down from the leadership position.

The WorkPlace receives $3M grant for nurse training

A$3 million federal grant will be put to use by The WorkPlace to fund training for up to 200 entry-level nursing professionals who are interested in pursuing either an Associate Degree or a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing.

The WorkPlace, a Bridgeportbased administrator of workforce development funds and job train-

ing, will use the funds over the next f ive years.

Joseph Carbone, the president and CEO of The WorkPlace, described the grant as a small but necessary step towards meeting the increasing needs for medical care across both the state and country.

“Obviously, we’ve been familiar with the nursing shortage and the fact it’s going to get worse for years to come for some time,” Carbone explained. “We studied it, and a great deal of work to apply for the

grant was required. A very broad partnership was required.”

That partnership will include the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Grif f in Hospital in Derby, iCare, Hartford Health, the Connecticut Hospital Association, Goodwin University and the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system.

“It will, in and of itself, add at

Delta Dental seeks out the small business sector

arin Hep, the Connecticutfocused assistant vice president of small group and individual broker channel sales for Delta Dental, knows the importance of small businesses.

“Small businesses make up the majority of the businesses in Connecticut, in the country, and our workforce,” Hep said, noting how they are all unique. “Their needs are different than those of large employers. Small businesses tend to have an owner wearing many different hats, responsible for a lot of different areas other than just their area of expertise. Oftentimes that means that they have to manage HR and benef its as well as their business. That’s why a broker or consultant is so important to a small employer looking to offer benef its to their employees.”

The Delta Dental Plans Association is a network of dental insurance companies consisting of 39 independent Delta Dental members operating in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Hep, whose of f ice covers Connecticut and New Jersey, described vetting carriers and comparing plans as a time-consuming task that is often far outside of the aspects of a business that an owner likely wants to focus on. Yet offering the right benef its-package can touch on many aspects of a business.

“Right now, there’s a competition for talent,” Hep noted. “It’s f ierce. It’s ongoing. It may not have been a byproduct of the pandemic, but I think that really ramped it

up, so employers are struggling not only to retain talent but to attract talent. Benef its is one area where small employers can focus to really create a package that is attractive for both their existing and their potential new hires.”

According to Hep, an increasing number of employers are now offering dental and vision bundled together, particularly when voluntary offerings allow employees to cover health costs with pre-tax dollars. She pointed to statistics showing these models tend to increase the use of benef its by employees, which has important implications for the health of the workforce.

“The tie-in between your oral health and your overall health is proven. Dentists can detect over 120 diseases or conditions in the mouth. An optometrist can detect over 200 conditions just by looking in your eye,” Hep said.

Employees who might be hesitant to go to their primary care doctors covered by standard insurance can have conditions caught early through dental and vision visits, according to Hep, who added that can have a major impact on an employee’s overall health.

“It’s early detection, early intervention, which leads to better outcomes and less spend for chronic conditions. When a small-business owner is offering a dental or vision benef it to their employees there’s a great ROI,” she said.

Hep noted that healthier employees are not only less likely to take sick time, but less likely to be distracted on the job by tooth pain or need to take steps to deal with vision issues that could be easily handled

with a pair of glasses. Employees with those needs met can also have a positive impact on the bottom line when it comes to primary insurance as well.

“The impact that dental and vision benef its can have on your medical utilization is substantial. Think about the number of lost work hours, it’s over 164 million a year due to dental emergencies. You can mitigate those visits and have more productivity out of your employees if they’re not worrying about their oral healthcare,” said Hep.

She also noted that 89% of the population has a vision correction need, requiring glasses or contact lenses –– a number which is likely to expand in coming years due to the effects of monitors and blue light causing eye strain in more and more roles.

Hep allowed that despite the value dental and vision coverage can provide for small businesses, the complexities of navigating the system can be discouraging to overburdened business owners, and touted the unique corporate structure of Delta Dental as one which they may f ind particularly attractive.

“Our networks are our own and we have the relationships with the providers,” Hep said, noting that Delta Dental does not “lease” networks from other insurance companies, rather maintaining a nationwide association of 39 smaller Delta Dental companies that can focus on their local regions.

“We are credentialing the providers to make sure that we want them in our networks,” she said. “For our members, it’s really important that they know that their dentist has been credentialed.”

Murphy and Blumenthal introduce gun marketing legislation

U.S. Sens. Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal have introduced legislation calling on the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to study the dangers posed by what the Connecticut Democrats have called “unfair and deceptive marketing and advertising practices conducted by the gun industry.”

The Responsible Firearms Marketing Act requires the FTC to study the marketing outreach of gun manufacturers,

importers and dealers –– including those that could be marketing to consumers under the age of 18. The FTC would also be on the lookout to see if these marketing strategies encourage the illegal use of f irearms or relate to the sale of semiautomatic assault weapons, and the agency would be tasked with issuing punitive f ines and payment of damages to consumers for intentional violation of the rules.

“The gun industry uses irresponsible marketing tactics –– even targeting kids with ads for lethal weapons –– to sell as many f irearms as possible because their sole focus is maximizing prof its,” said

Murphy. “This legislation takes a step toward holding f irearm manufacturers and sellers accountable for their dangerous advertising practices.”

“Deceptive f irearms marketing exploits and fuels gun violence and must be stopped,” said Blumenthal. “Our goal is to hold accountable gun manufacturers who prey on vulnerable consumers to fatten their prof its. Turning a blind eye to these dishonest advertisements and promotional campaigns will continue to threaten public safety.”

Companion legislation was introduced in the House by U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D -IL).

Sustainability helps sustain KG+D's success

The Mount Kisco-based architecture f irm KG+D, which is well-known for its school and municipal building designs throughout the Hudson Valley and in Fair f ield County and elsewhere, recently was named Firm of the Year by the American Institute of Architects New York State Chapter. KG+D is the f irst f irm to have received the award that does not maintain an of f ice in New York City.

Russell Davidson, president and a principal KG+D, told the Business Journals that the f irm has managed to build long-lasting relationships with school districts and various levels of local governments while also working on commercial projects.

“It’s building relationships with communities in which the improvements that are being proposed are valuable and meaningful to the whole community,” Davidson said. “Our slogan is ‘Listen, Imagine and Build.’ Because a proposal is born out of listening to the community it is easy to f ind success because it comes from the very grassroots base that will ultimately have to approve the funding.”

Davidson explained that KG+D often becomes involved in projects at their earliest stages and helps municipalities and

school districts present concepts to the community and build support when a referendum is required to decide whether bonds will be floated to pay for a project.

“We help our clients communicate with excellent graphics and renderings and attend lots and lots of meetings,” Davidson said. “The proposal itself really comes from listening to the community so that by the time it comes out you’ve built a constituency that already knows why it’s valuable.”

Davidson said that the big difference between work for a commercial developer and publicly-funded work is that the public thinks of public buildings as being designed to last forever; they’re always going to need their libraries, schools and government buildings.

“Our f irm takes a long view toward the life cycle of the building,” Davidson said. “A developer tends to look more at the amount of time he’s going to hold and operate the building or the life of the f inancing. We look at 50- and 100-year cycles for buildings. We still are designing buildings with terrazzo floors, walls that are 14-inches or 16-inches thick. The other big issue is sustainability and energ y ef f iciency. Rather than f irst cost or having a two- or three-year payback on some sustainable feature public clients can look at 10-, 15- and 20-year paybacks.”

Davidson said that KG+D takes the long view in designing for sustainability and durability since the longer expected life

span of a public building allows a longer time period to amortize the costs of the highest quality and most energ y-ef f icient mechanicals.

“It’s so sort of baked into our approach. It doesn’t seem necessarily novel anymore,” Davidson said. “It’s just the way we do every project.”

Davidson said that KG+D is part of a program of the American Institute of Architects called the 2030 Commitment to lower carbon use by the year 2030.

“It’s a relatively new initiative but our f irm has been involved with sustainable building for quite a long time,” Davidson said. “Some of the notable ones include the Jacob Burns Media Arts Lab, which was the f irst LEED Gold building in Westchester; The Post Road School in White Plains from around 2007 had an Energ y Star rating of around 100 with a fully ground source heat pump for heating and cooling. Right now over in Middletown they’re drilling over 100 wells for a ground source heat pump system for Twin Towers Middle School; and under construction right now in Yonkers is the Justice Sonia Sotomayor School, which will be heated and cooled with heat pumps, so zero carbon fuels used for heating and cooling in a brand new building.”

Among KG+D’s other projects are: the Seven Bridges Middle School in Chappaqua; Pleasantville High School renovations; additions and renovations at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle; theater restoration at Bronxville High School; replacement of the Hutchinson Elementary School for the Pelham Union

Free School District; and a new dining hall, athletic center and playing f ields at the Trinity Pawling School.

“We have done a fair amount of what we call replacement buildings,” Davidson said. “One of the most ener g y-ef f icient things you can do is to renovate and restore existing buildings. That’s pretty typical for the Northeast, which was settled so long ago. In Katonah, Katonah Elementary was built in 1939 as part of the Works Progress Administration and we’re now renovating it and adding a ground source heat pump system to the entire historic old elementary school.”

Davidson said that there is growing support for designing and constructing sustainable buildings and not wasting resources by putting in outdated and ineff icient systems.

“We’ve seen the public opinion and client opinion come around to absolutely wanting a sustainable approach even if it costs more,” Davidson said. “Even before Covid the public really cared as much about a healthy building as it did an energ y-ef f icient building. We’re seeing a lot more consensus around clean, fresh, f iltered air in buildings. It’s been an interesting progression toward the long view of sustainability and healthier buildings.”

least 200 nurses,” Carbone said, “still far def icient from what the real needs are.”

According to Carbone, Connecticut needs to add 3,000 new nurses to the medical workforce every year to avoid falling behind demand, but only 1,900 students graduate from nursing programs in the state per year. Of nurses currently in the workforce, more than 50% of those working are at least 50 years old, in a state which already has the nation’s sixth oldest population.

“Every year that goes by we are deeper into a ditch of not having a suf f icient number of nurses,” Carbone said.

The WorkPlace’s application for the federal grant was supported by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Reps. Jim Himes and Rosa DeLauro.

Announcing the awarding of the grant at a ceremony on May 22, Blumenthal said that “this milestone grant will help train a new generation of nurses— meeting an urgent need to support health care heroes who feel overworked and overwhelmed. New nurses are especially necessary in communities with health care worker shortages, a result of superhuman burdens

and burnout. Nobody does skill training better than The Workplace and we’re proud to have them as a partner. Each of these new nurses will be a force multiplier in the battle for better health outcomes.”

“It’s hard to imagine a more impactful program than one that connects unemployed individuals with pathways to careers and f inancial security, especially in a f ield as essential as nursing,” added Himes.

“The whole f ield of health care is the most reliable part of our economy,” Carbone noted, stressing the value of the training to the individuals who will receive it. “Doesn’t matter if there’s a great recession, if there’s a pandemic, people need medical attention. That sector of your economy grows every single month in spite of other conditions that might mitigate against it.”

Carbone highlighted the wide array of careers that can be pursued within the medical f ield with the degrees the program will offer, particularly in a state such as Connecticut where research and biomedical companies produce additional jobs. He noted that the diversity of those seeking careers in nursing and medical f ields is also increasing, with a wide range of ages, races, and backgrounds on display among those who have come to meetings about nursing at The WorkPlace. The current demand has even lured people with backgrounds in other f ields, including his own family.

“My son and his wife, they’re both intelligent. He went to college for business administration, graduated in economics but decided he really didn’t want to do that. He got a job at Yale, loved health care, went to UConn, got a master’s in nursing and now he’s one of the administrators now,” Carbone said, who noted his wife went to school for psycholo g y is now she’s a nurse. “One of the things they love about it so much is they’re so appreciated.”

Carbone said The WorkPlace plans to engage in substantial marketing efforts in the near future to reach the public with information about the program.

WHAT’S NEXT ROCHELLE

In a press statement announcing Bramson’s new job, Sustainable Westchester praised him for “serving as a regional and statewide model for environmentally-friendly, transit-oriented development” and for coordinating the city’s GreeNR sustainability plan along with policies that included the expansion of open spaces and the establishment of a program for securing renewable ener g y from Westchester County’s Community Choice Aggregation program.

Bramson is not a stranger to Sustainable Westchester – he is one of the organization’s founding board members.

“Mayor Bramson’s demonstrated track record of building consensus, attracting investment, and prioritizing healthy environments perfectly positions him to lead Sustainable Westchester’s continued growth and expand the great results we deliver to our members,” said Sara Goddard, board chairwoman of Sustainable Westchester. “We are extremely excited to welcome him aboard.”

Bramsom spoke with the Business Journals after the news of his executive director appointment was released.

Congratulations on your upcoming new position. Why did you decide to take this opportunity after you leave of f ice?

I think Sustainable Westchester is among

the most important and impactful organizations in the region. Thanks to its very capable and dedicated staff, it has already made important contributions to environmental policymaking and programming.

And with the state now establishing very ambitious climate goals, Sustainable Westchester’s role in the county will be even more signi f icant. For me, this is a very exciting opportunity on both a personal and professional level and a natural extension of many of the things that I have worked to pursue as mayor.

Sustainability is critical for the environment, of course, but what is the role of sustainability in today’s economic development endeavors within the county?

I think there is an important synerg y between our economic and our environmental goals. For example, land use patterns can have a signi f icant effect on the sustainability of our communities, to the extent that we can promote walkable, compact, transit served downtown’s. We reduce our dependency on automobiles, we reduce heating and cooling costs, and we strengthen our economies.

I will be looking for opportunities to partner with not just with member municipalities, but also with organizations across the region that work on the different aspects of progressive policymaking. That is one of the opportunities in this in this new role.

Rye neighbors claim nearby restaurant has no usage rights

The City of Rye and the new owner of the former La Panetière restaurant property have been sued for allegedly ignoring zoning laws.

Neighbors David A. Cutner and Thomas W. Tobin petitioned Westchester Supreme Court on May 22 to overturn a zoning decision and to rescind a certif icate of occupancy for the new Ocean Blue Prime steak and seafood restaurant on Milton Road.

Unlike most cases where the zoning board has discretion to balance the interests of property owners and the community, the petition states, this is a “rare one that involves strictly legal issues where the zoning board of appeals has no claim to special expertise.”

La Panetière closed in October 2021 after 36 years of bringing the delights of Provençal cuisine to Westchester.

The following December, 530 Milton

Road LLC, managed by Andrew Tonaj and Monica Iken, bought the property for $2.3 million.

Their Ocean Blue Prime is in a business district created by zoning regulations adopted in 1945, according to the petition. But the property at 530 Milton Road does not comply with the law because it is too close to homes and has no frontage on an arterial highway or county road.

Previous restaurants were grandfathered as a pre-existing, nonconforming uses. As long as they continued to operate, they were protected. But if a restaurant ceased to operate for at least six months,

according to the petition, the property was no longer grandfathered.

The new owners applied for a building permit on June 6, 2022 — more than seven months after La Panetière closed — to replace a bar on the f irst floor and install a bar on the second floor.

On Nov. 4 — more than a year after La Panetière closed — the Rye building department issued a certif icate of occupancy that allowed continued use of the building as a restaurant.

Cutner, who lives on Oakland Beach Avenue, and Tobin, who lives on Milton Road, objected to the occupancy permit,

When you come aboard as executive director at Sustainable Westchester in January, what are your immediate priorities going to be?

I think it’s premature for me to list speci f ic priorities. That is several months away, and I’m going to want to have in-depth conversations both with Sustainable board members and with members of the staff. But as a general matter, it will be my goal to ensure that the member municipalities have the support, the encouragement, the information and the tools that they need to advance their own environmental goals and to position Westchester County as a whole as a real model for sustainable policymaking and program.

You are staring your new job in January, but here we are in June. Why did you decide to have the announcement go public now while you are still in of f ice until the end of December?

I think both for Sustainable Westchester and for New Rochelle it was important to have some level of clarity on the path forward. And so even though I will not begin working with Sustainable for some time, I think it’s helpful for the organization to understand what the transition will look like.

And from a New Rochelle perspective, this provides the assurance that I’m able to remain in office until the end of the term and provide for an orderly transition to my successor.

arguing that the property’s pre-existing nonconforming status had lapsed.

The city ignored their objection, according to the petition, and the men appealed to the zoning board. On April 23, the zoning board ruled that the property is still permitted as an existing non-conforming use and that the occupancy permit was issued properly.

Tobin and Cutner, who had once served on the zoning board, claim that the board was “determined to reach a particular result” and had unilaterally rewritten the zoning code.

The board ignored the plain language of zoning regulations and decisions, they contend, and had improperly discussed the issue with city of f icials in violation of the state Open Meetings Law and the city’s public hearings regulations.

They are asking the court to annul the zoning board decision, declare that the decision was arbitrary and capricious, direct the city to rescind the occupancy permit, and restrain the zoning board from granting the owners a variance to operate the restaurant.

Attorneys for Ocean Blue Prime and City of Rye did not reply to emails asking for their side of the story.

With their bold color and tropical beauty, easy-care mandevillas make excellent additions to patios, decks and gardens. Train them onto a trellis, allow them to cascade from a hanging basket or combine them with other plants. Enjoy summer-long blossoms and the butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators that stop by for a visit.

Once divided into two different groups, dipladenias and mandevillas, they’re all now considered mandevillas by botanists. You will f ind both names still in use, with dipladenias referring to those with a more mounded, shrub-like habit and mandevillas being more of a trailing vine. Whatever you call them, you are sure to f ind one or more that complement your garden and container designs.

Mandevillas are grown as annuals in all but zones 10a to 11b where some varieties are hardy. They flower best in full sun but will tolerate some shade. These South American native plants thrive in the hot, humid weather of summer, which is just around the corner, so now is a good time for planting them.

Select a potting mix or location with organically rich, well-drained soil. Use a slow-release fertilizer at the start of the season and make a second application, if needed, mid-season. Read and follow the label directions when using fast-release liquid fertilizers.

Mandevillas are usually flowering when you purchase them at the garden center. They will continue to bloom on new growth throughout the summer and fall until frost kills the plant.

The well-behaved vining mandevilla will not strangle nearby plants. Just give it a trellis or obelisk for the vines to wrap around and climb. Their slightly woody stems provide greater stability than other

vines that regularly need to be secured to the support. Just tuck any new tendrils through the trellis, pointing them in the desired direction as needed.

Use vining varieties in a container of their own or as a vertical accent on a trellis in mixed containers or flowerbeds. Set pots by an entrance to your home or garden for a colorful welcome or use them to dress up a bare wall or fence.

The more compact shrubby types can be planted with other annual flowers in the

garden, grown in hanging baskets or used as a f iller in mixed container gardens. Just prune off or tuck any wayward branches behind neighboring plants.

Disease-resistant Sun Parasol mandevillas offer an array of colors, including white, yellow, apricot, pink, crimson and even red-and-white striped flowers.

Four questions to ask when focusing on your target audience

When competing with other brands to f ind the best channels needed to reach your audience, developing an effective marketing strateg y might feel like throwing darts blindfolded.

To increase your odds of reaching people who might be interested in your product or service, you need to effectively and accurately def ine your target audience f irst. It might take more than one try before you hit bullseye.

Consider the example of fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. Once known for its dimly lit storefronts and strong cologne, the company rebranded in recent years to reach millennials who were customers in the early 2000s but had moved on.

Along the way, you might discover your business has more than one target audience. Abercrombie’s target audiences were young adult men and women shopping for casual and athletic apparel. Nike appeals to the same demographic but also older and younger shoppers looking for sports and athleisure attire gear, and shoes.

As you begin to def ine your target audience and determine the best way to reach them, below are some questions to consider.

Who Are You Marketing to Now?

Start by prof iling your current customers and the people who engage with your brand on social media. Do these people have common characteristics like location, age, and interests? For instance, if your target audience is Gen Z, you’re not likely to have much success trying to reach them on Facebook.

Your customers’ demographic prof iles can be used for targeting lookalike audiences — people with similar characteristics and interests — with social media ads. Before you can serve your audience an effective advertisement, you need to know what kind of messaging will resonate with them. Use your customers’ demographic prof ile to pinpoint your most effective messaging and branding, then advertise only the products or services relevant to their needs.

When you understand who your audience is, you’re better equipped to talk to them in a language they understand. Where Do Your Customers Go for Information Online?

Once you’ve def ined your audience and how to communicate with them, monitor where they get information from you. Do you receive more visitors to your blog than likes on Instagram posts? Knowing where your audience is likely to look for

information will help you decide where to focus your marketing efforts.

In addition to monitoring where your customers go for information, keep track of how they engage with it. If a social media post results in new followers and visits to your site, that content could be repurposed in the future. Understanding your audiences’ behavior online can help you prioritize platforms that may have a better return on investment.

What Information Are Your Customers Looking For?

Similar to discovering where your target audience goes for information, identify what content they interact with the most online.

For example, some people prefer to read content while others are more likely to watch a video. Do how-to videos outperform your organization’s written content? B2C brands usually create the most buzz, but an engaging B2C ad might not translate effectively to your brand.

Certain types of content are universally better at attracting your target audience. High-resolution photographs, infographics, and videos accompanied by well-written text are more likely to elicit a response on social media than low-quality photos or videos.

Titan Concrete ordered to post $8M bond to protect Pelham co-owner

ABronx judge has ordered Titan Concrete Inc. to post an $8 million bond to protect the interests of co-owner Peter J. Mestousis, who has asked the court to dissolve the New Rochelle business, but declined to appoint a temporary receiver to conserve the company’s assets.

While there is insuf f icient evidence to warrant a receiver, Bronx Supreme Court Justice Fidel E. Gomez ruled on May 22, “the record does support the conclusion that Titan is less than f inancially solvent. Accordingly, the petitioner is entitled to some measure of protection, given the uncertainty of Titan’s f inancial status.” Titan supplies concrete to commercial and residential projects throughout the region. It operates an of f ice in New

Rochelle and facilities in the Bronx, Carmel, Putnam County, and Stamford, Connecticut.

Mestousis, who lives in Pelham and is represented by Rye attorney Anthony Piscionere, petitioned Westchester Supreme Court in January to dissolve the corporation. He argues that co-owner Michael Saccente Jr. has frozen him out of management and has looted, wasted and diverted company assets.

For instance, Mestousis claims, Saccente pocketed the money from cash-on-delivery jobs.

Mestousis says he paid about $6 million for a 50% interest in Titan and last year loaned another $2 million that has not been repaid.

Saccente and Titan broadly denied wrongdoing in their formal answers to the petition. Saccente is represented by Somers attorney Michael J. McDermott.

Titan is represented by Manhattan attorney Aaron E. Zerykier.

The lawsuit was moved to the Bronx court in March, at the request of Saccente and Titan.

Appointing a receiver is a drastic remedy that should be used sparingly, Judge Gomez ruled, because it is tantamount to taking possession of property before the merits of a case have been determined.

He said a petitioner must establish the danger of an irreparable loss. While the record is replete with evidence that Titan is in the midst of f inancial hardship, he also found satisfactory explanations for many of the alleged wrongs and insuf f icient evidence of Saccente as a threat to Titan’s viability.

“Hence, it would be improper to deprive him of his property absent a determination on the merits,” Gomez says.

Mestousis asked the court to approve a $10 million bond to protect his interests.

Understanding the content your ideal customers are looking for helps you move from def ining your target audience to reaching it.

Who Does Your Audience Trust?

It’s no secret that people trust recommendations from individuals more than faceless brands. Think about your own habits: how often do you read reviews or ask others for advice before purchasing something?

Influencers are an underutilized B2B social marketing resource who can help your organization reach new customers within a target audience. Creators, thought leaders and industry experts who align with your brand’s core values can help amplify your message among their loyal followers.

Reputation and customer service are crucial to any business. Make sure existing relationships are also nurtured to build trust between your brand and its loyal customers which will help your word-ofmouth reputation.

Meagan D. Saxton is a social media specialist with ddm marketing + communications, a leading marketing agency for highly complex and highly regulated industries.

Here, the judge ruled, if allegations of waste and mismanagement are substantiated, “the corporation would be worthless.”

Saccente and Titan say they have turned a corner as a prof itable and viable operation, the judge noted, but they also af f irmed that the business had negative earnings and equity of $3.6 million when Mestousis invested in the company.

Gomez decided that an $8 million bond was warranted to protect Mestousis until he is paid for the reasonable value of his shares. He ordered Saccente and Titan to post the bond within 30 days.

Titan attorney Jason Samuels said in an email that the company is pleased that the court denied the request for appointment of a receiver. “This demonstrates the court’s acknowledgment and understanding that the company is operating ef f iciently and prof itably under existing management, despite petitioner’s statements otherwise, which Titan asserts have no merit.”

Whether Titan should be dissolved has been put on hold until a hearing is held to determine the value of Mestousis’s shares.

Putnam Valley fre department seeks $1.75M for cleaning up hazmat dump

Putnam Valley Volunteer Fire Department Inc. is demanding at least $1.75 million from two Westchester businesses to cover the costs of cleaning up hazardous materials dumped at the site of a proposed f irehouse.

The f ire department claims that Universal Construction of Yorktown Heights and Metro Green recycling facility in Mount Vernon dumped 10,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition materials at 218 Oscawana Lake Road around 2016.

Thornwood diner drama divides family factions

Amother’s bequest has created a short menu of options for two family factions f ighting over a Greek diner in Thornwood.

Last year, the Stefanopoulos faction sued to ban the Thanos faction from the Thornwood Coach Diner and recover $100,000 allegedly stolen from the business.

This month, the Thanos faction petitioned Westchester Supreme Court to dissolve the business and liquidate the assets.

“The type of intense discord that has developed,” the Thanos petition states, “has created such disruption and deadlock that ef f icient management by the shareholders, directors and of f icers is impossible, with no chance of repair or resurrection of any positive business relationship.”

Thornwood Coach Diner on Kensico Road has been a mainstay in the community for 50-some years. In 2018, NCS Kensico Inc. bought the business.

Originally, ownership was divided equally between Stefan Stefanopoulos,

ing to the complaint f iled May 19 in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

But an attorney who represented Universal Construction owner John Adorno in a previous lawsuit f iled in Putnam Supreme Court cited evidence that the f ire department had institutional knowledge and involvement in the dumping.

“It is a beggars belief that no one at PVVFD,” Albany attorney Alita J. Giuda stated in a March court f iling, “was aware of the dumping site of a planned multi-million dollar f irehouse project.”

The dispute arose in 2016 when the New York Department of Environmental Conservation received a complaint about the site. Investigators found metal, plastic, asphalt shingles, fabric, vinyl, lumber and ceramic tile.

Cristos Thanos and their mother-in-law, Dina Rentoulis.

Dina Rentoulis died in 2021 and her onethird interest in NCS was bequeathed to her daughters, Tammy and Christina.

Tammy is married to Cristos Thanos’ brother, Ari. Christina is married to Stefan Stefanopoulos. The resulting combination left the two families with a 50 -50 share of the business.

Stefan sued Tammy, Ari and Cristos Thanos a year ago.

Stefanopoulos claims that the Thanos faction demanded that their shares be bought out, and when a price could not be agreed on, they disrupted business.

The Thanoses allegedly stole food, according to the complaint, f ired a manager, intentionally bumped into staff in the kitchen, sat in reserved seats in the dining areas, screamed in the dining room in the presence of customers, and more, “chasing customers away and making it dif f icult to operate,” to coerce a buyout.

In January 2022, Cristos Thanos allegedly withdrew $100,000 from a corporate checking account without permission, and has refused to return the money.

According to the Thanos petition, the Stefanopoulos faction “abrogated to themselves the total control of the operations and excluded the Thanoses from “any chance of receiving their rightful portion of the corporate prof its.”

If they could, according to the petition, the Thanoses would f ire the Stefanopouloses and bar them from the premises.

But with no way to break a tie, they

DEC also ascertained that a f ireman, Charlie Milo, had given Universal Construction permission to dump f ill on the site, according to a state report. Milo, who volunteered for 63 years and rose to the rank of captain, died in January at age 82.

Adorno told a DEC investigator that some of the materials had come from a demolition site in the Bronx, according to the complaint, but most came from Metro Green’s facility in Mount Vernon.

The f ire department hired HDR Engineering to assess the dump. HDR’s 2017 report concluded that the site mostly contained construction and demolition debris and a mixture of sand and silt.

Samples revealed semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, PCBs, pesticides and stockpiles of asbestos-containing materials that are considered hazardous substances.

DEC determined that the f ire department had operated a solid waste management facility without a permit, and in 2019 the f ire department agreed to remediate the site.

The f ire house has been built, and the facility also houses the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

Now the f ire department is trying to recover its cleanup costs.

In January, it petitioned Putnam Supreme Court for pre-action discovery, to identify everyone responsible for dumping contaminated materials on its property.

Putnam Justice Victor G. Grossman ruled on March 17 that the f ire department may obtain information from Adorno that identi f ies who trucked materials to the site, the owners of properties where materials were obtained, developers and contractors whose materials were hauled to the site, intermediaries who arranged or planned the disposals, and owners and operators of places where the materials were stockpiled before being dumped in Putnam Valley.

argue, the court should appoint a temporary receiver to handle the affairs of the corporation until it can be dissolved and the assets liquidated.

Sicily’s Villa Igiea –where your bucket-list destiny awaits

You can’t put Palermo, Sicily’s capital city, in a little box, or even in a mighty big one. It is a vast, sweeping anomaly of a city, which might be grand and patrician along one street, flyblown and down at heel on the next. Signorinas strut the elegant Corso in impossibly high heels while just yards away, f ishwives shriek from their trestle tables set up on the side streets. On elegant Via della Libertà, the Gucci store stands next to a used guitar shop and three doors along from a thrift store. It’s quite a mix.

The Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and latterly Normans have all hung their hats in Sicily at some point and left their indelible mark on it. Palermo’s cathedral, 1,000 years old and one of the most dramatic in all Italy, stands proudly center stage. But less than a mile away, the city’s docks seem to want to hide themselves behind

broken gates and fences, almost ashamed, although they are indeed the wellspring of Palermo’s wealth and glory. The historic center is a patchwork: Even 80 years after the Allies bombed Palermo in World War II, the city center has not been fully rebuilt.

Before I saw any of this for myself, though, I gleaned many of these insights from my taxi driver, Marco, who drove me from the airport to my hotel. Somehow, we got to talking about the many peoples who have called Sicily home. “You’ll notice I’m blond with blue eyes,” he told me proudly and, looking at his reflection in the driving mirror, it was hard to miss. “It’s because we’re all Norman –– even my uncle in Queens.” Marco had diamond studs in both ears and wore navy blue, monogrammed slippers for driving, which he said were a present from his f idanzata (f iancée). Norman or not, Sicilians have style in their DNA.

At the door of Villa Igiea, where he dropped me, formalities were kept to a minimum. Check-in sorted in seconds, a factotum whisked me to my corner suite and opened the net curtains to reveal a jaw-dropping, Merchant-Ivory view. I gazed in delight across manicured, palmfringed green lawns with stone statues, umbrella pines and cypresses, down to the little port and the sparkling Gulf of Palermo beyond.

Once the home of the influential Florio family, this Belle Époque villa has been gloriously restored by Rocco Forte Hotels and is now, beyond doubt, the most luxurious hotel in Palermo. Nodding respectfully to the past but unafraid to embrace the present, Olga Polizzi – Forte director of design and RFH chairman Sir Rocco Forte’s sister – has paid as much attention to comfort as to beauty, and the result is a holistic decorating triumph.

Guest rooms were the last word in freshness and zing. At turndown, clothes were folded and put away and the bathroom completely refreshed and resupplied. Miniature bottles of still and sparkling water were placed on the nightstands along with edible treats. The drapes were drawn, blinds lowered, lights dimmed and the plushest slippers (in appropriate his and her sizes) arranged on a blanched linen mat. (Oh, Conrad Hilton: Thou shouldst be living at this hour.)

With its Belle Époque ballroom, Art Nouveau reception rooms, magni f icent carved staircases and a pair of dreamy terraces to drink and dine on under the stars, all I will say is that if you are not a

bucket-list kind of person, you should create one immediately and stick Villa Igiea at the top of it.

Back at the front desk, I saw valued guests being welcomed back with genuine affection, greeted by staff with a little bow from the waist and outstretched hands, which in Italy is not a sign of subservience but of friendship and respect. I also bumped into a familiar face, John McLean, formerly of the Lanesborough Hotel in London but now manager of Brown’s, another Rocco Forte hotel, also in London. “Not a bad little spot this, is it?” he quipped, with absurd understatement.

Mealtimes are sheer joy. Breakfast ––freshly baked breads and pastries, Sicilian squeezed orange juice, étagères of fruit, custardy treats and ripe Italian cheeses. Or a typical lunch served at the Alicetta pool bar (with a stool brought for my beach bag) –– spaghetti with red mullet and baby tomatoes, bursting with natural sugar and sunshine. And then dinner, on that terrace, when the sun had just set and the little lights in the gardens and in the port beyond had just come on, and the air was scented with jasmine and frangipani and a pianist was playing Gershwin. Summertime and the living at Villa Igiea was indeed blissfully easy.

Alternatively, this being Palermo, you could just totter down the hill toward the port, as I did on my second evening, and have a f ish fry-up on bare, rickety tables under strip lighting and an electric fly zapper and get change from $15 (including wine.) In its way, this is an equally special experience as the tony hotel terrace.

Next morning, the pool boy, Vincenzo, greeted me and said in his charming English, as he ushered me to my chaise longue and swaddled it in the plushest white beach towels, “Should you need something, sir, please just raise your hand and I will arrive.”

Looking down through the lemon trees and swaying palms –– and an imagined Slim Aarons lens –– I glimpsed a small day boat just beyond the hotel’s marina, and spied long-legged, bronzed children, maybe 10 or 12 years old, playing on the small deck and, at a distance, could even hear their high-pitched, excited voices having summer fun. This is not my life, I reflected, but still, it’s how some lucky people are able to live. And any smidgen of envy vaporizing, it was a thought I found oddly life-af f irming.

Sure, it’s big business, but is marijuana safe?

The legalization of marijuana, for both medical and recreational use, is on the rise across the nation, with 22 states and Washington, D.C. having legalized its recreational use for adults 21 years and older and 38 states having legalized medical marijuana. (The drug is still illegal under the federal government.)

In New York state, cannabis data company BDSA predicts $1.3 billion in total marijuana sales this year. Connecticut saw a record $22 million in adult-use and medical marijuana sales in March, only the third month in which adult-use marijuana was legal in the Nutmeg State. The more established medical market accounted for $12.6 million and the newer market $9.6 million.

Yet there is growing alarm in the medical community over the popularity of the drug’s recreational use.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently reported on a study that found an increased risk of schizophrenia in young men with cannabis use disorder. Now the American Heart Association warns that using marijuana may increase your risk for deadly cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks and strokes, based on research in two of its scientif ic statements.

The 2020 scientif ic statement “Medical Marijuana, Recreational Cannabis, and Cardiovascular Health,” said that while marijuana, also known as cannabis, may be helpful for some other medical conditions, it does not appear to have any well-documented benef its for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Indeed, the chemicals in cannabis have been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, heart failure and atrial f ibrillation in observational studies.

Marijuana users may also have an increased risk of clot-caused stroke, according to the heart association’s 2022 scientific statement, “Use of Marijuana: Effect on Brain Health.” Studies cited in the statement found people who used marijuana had more strokes – as many as 17% to 24% more – compared to those who did not use the drug.

“There is a lot of confusion about the benef its versus the dangers of marijuana use, and much of that depends on the ingredients in and the method of use of the product,” said Robert L. Page II, Pharm.D., M.S.P.H., FAHA, volunteer chair of the writing group for the statement on medical and recreational marijuana and CVD. “The most common chemicals in cannabis include

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, the psychoactive component of the plant that induces a ‘high,’ and CBD, or cannabidiol, which can be purchased over the counter. These chemicals may be working at cross purposes, as some studies suggest CBD could reduce heart rate and blood pressure, while others found THC may raise heart rate and blood pressure. Many marijuana products are becoming increasingly potent with higher levels of THC, which is very concerning.”

Smoking and inhaling marijuana, regardless of THC content, has been associated with heart muscle dysfunction, chest pain, heart attacks, heart rhythm disturbances, sudden cardiac death and other serious cardiovascular conditions. In states where cannabis has been legalized, an increase in hospitalizations and emergency department visits for heart attacks has been observed, according to the heart association’s 2020 scientif ic statement on cannabis use and cardiovascular health.

“The way cannabis is consumed may make a difference in how it affects the heart and blood vessels,” said Page, a professor in the department of clinical pharmacy and the department of physical medicine/rehabilitation at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Aurora, Colorado. “Many people don’t realize that cannabis smoke contains components similar to tobacco smoke. Smoking and inhaling cannabis, regardless of THC content, has been shown to increase the concentrations of poisonous carbon monoxide and tar in the blood similar to the effects of inhaling the smoke from a tobacco cigarette. Also, limited information exists on the hazards of exposure to secondhand cannabis smoke. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ‘THC can be passed to infants and children through

secondhand smoke, and people exposed to secondhand marijuana smoke can experience psychoactive effects.’”

More recent research published supports the evidence reported in the earlier scientif ic statements:

A new study presented at the heart association’s Epidemiolog y and Lifestyle 2023 meeting found that vaping THC was linked with self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety, even more so than vaping nicotine.

A recent study from Stanford University researchers found that people who reported using marijuana daily were 34% more likely to be diagnosed with coronary heart disease, compared to those who reported no history of cannabis use.

Proponents of the relatively recent legalization of adult-use marijuana note that the studies are limited and that the judicial and f inancial practicalities and benef its of the legalization must be weighed in the balance. They point to the criminalization of alcohol use in Prohibition (1920 -33), which did not stop people from making, selling, buying and consuming liquor ––classif ied by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Group 1 carcinogen, along with asbestos, radiation and tobacco. (Connecticut, along with Rhode Island, never ratif ied the 18th Amendment, which outlawed recreational alcohol in the U.S.)

Page acknowledged that the federal government’s very disinclination to legalize recreational pot actually impedes the scientif ic study of it:

“The federal government still classif ies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug ‘with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.’ That means researchers face tight restrictions on conducting rigorous controlled trials with marijuana products. So much of what we do know

about cannabis use is based on data from short-term, observational and retrospective studies, which identify trends but do not prove cause and effect. Until we know more def initively the speci f ic pros and cons of marijuana use, people need to be aware of the potential dangers.”

Page recommended people who do choose to use marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes should:

• Only use legal cannabis products, because there are no controls on the quality or the contents of cannabis products sold on the street.

• Note that the dosage of cannabis in the oral and topical forms can be quantif ied, so this may possibly reduce some of the potential harms with inadvertent high dosages.

• Be open with your doctor about any marijuana use as it relates to your overall health. Even though it may be a sensitive topic, it will help you understand how marijuana might interfere with prescribed medications or trigger cardiovascular conditions or events, such as heart attacks and strokes.

“Attitudes towards recreational and medicinal use of marijuana are changing rapidly, and more states are continuing to move to have it legalized,” Page said. “However, there is still too much unknown, and I would urge anyone currently or considering using cannabis to proceed with extreme caution.”

Changing jobs? Don't forget about your 401(k)

If you have a 401(k) plan, one of the most important decisions you face when changing jobs is what to do with it. The wrong move could cost you thousands or more in taxes, penalties and lower returns.

Let’s say you work f ive years at your current job. For most of those years, you’ve had the company take a set percentage of your pretax salary and put it into your employer’s plan. Now that you’re leaving, what should you do?

You need to resist the temptation to cash out. The worst thing you can do when leaving a job is to withdraw the money and put it in your bank account.

If you decide to have your distribution paid to you, the plan administrator will withhold 20% of your total for federal income taxes. So, if you had $100,000 in your account, you’re already down to $80,000.

Furthermore, if you’re younger than 59 ½ , you’ll generally face a 10% penalty

for early withdrawal come tax time. Now you’re down another 10% from the top line to $70,000.

There is an exception to the 10% early withdrawal tax penalty for 401(k) plans if you separate from service during or after the year you reach age 55 (age 50 for public safety employees of a state, or political subdivision of a state, in a governmental def ined benef it plan). IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, and SARSEPs do not qualify for the exception.

In addition, because distributions are taxed as ordinary income, at the end of the year, you’ll have to pay the difference between your tax bracket and the 20% already taken out. For example, if you’re in the 32% tax bracket, you’ll still owe 12% or $12,000, which lowers the amount of your cash distribution to $58,000. If your tax bracket is less than 20%, you may qualify for a refund, depending on your overall tax liability for the year compared to what was withheld or paid in estimated

taxes for the year.

But that’s not all. You also have to pay any applicable state and local taxes. Between taxes and penalties, you could end up with little over half of what you saved, short-changing your retirement savings signi f icantly. Finally, you will miss out on any future tax-deferred growth those assets would have produced had they remained in the retirement plan. What are the Alternatives?

If your new job offers a retirement plan, the easiest course of action is to roll your account into the new plan. A “rollover” is relatively painless to do. Contact the 401(k) plan administrator at your previous job, who should have all the necessary forms.

The best way to roll funds over from an old 401(k) plan to a new one is to use a direct transfer. With the direct transfer, you never receive a check, you avoid all the taxes and penalties mentioned above, and your savings will continue to grow tax-deferred.

Many employers require that you work a minimum length of time before you can participate in their 401(k) plan. If that is the case with your new employer, one solution is to keep your money in your former employer’s 401(k) plan until you are eligible for the new one. Then you can roll it over into the new plan. Most plans let former employees leave assets in their old plan for several months or longer.

If you’re not happy with the fund choices your new employer offers, you might opt for a rollover IRA instead of your company’s plan. You can then choose from hundreds of funds and have more control over your money. But again, to avoid the withholding hassle, use direct rollovers.

60 -Day Rollover Period

If you have your former employer make the distribution check out to you, the Internal Revenue Service considers this a cash distribution. The check you get will have 20% taken out automatically from your vested amount for federal income tax.

to your new employer’s plan or into a rollover IRA. Then you won’t owe the additional taxes or the 10% early withdrawal penalty and, depending on your overall tax liability for the year, you might receive a refund of some or all of the 20% withheld.

But keep in mind that in your rollover you will have to make up for the withheld 20% with funds from another source. Otherwise, the withheld amount will be treated as a distribution and subject to any applicable taxes and penalties.

If your vested account balance in your 401(k) is more than $5,000, you can usually leave it with your former employer’s retirement plan. Your balance will keep growing tax-deferred.

However, if you can’t leave the money in your former employer’s 401(k) and your new job doesn’t have a 401(k), your best bet is a direct rollover into an IRA. The same applies if you’ve decided to go into business for yourself. You can still continue to enjoy tax-deferred growth. This column is for information only and is not intended as advice.

Your just desserts and more await at Café Deux

Along with State of the Art Coffee and the Laughing Horse Coffee Co., the newly opened Café Deux is raising the café and restaurant bar in Harrison. It also brings a French twist to the town, which is becoming known for the quality of its dining, like sister communities Rye and Greenwich.

Café Deux may be new but it’s no greenhorn. Co-owner sisters Charlotte and Carrie Denoyer (the “deux” sound in their last name, besides there being two of them, was the inspiration for the café’s name) are the daughters of New York restaurateur Jean Denoyer, he of Le Goulue, Bar Italia and Orsay fame. So they’re no strangers to casual but sophisticated European dining.

And heavens, does Café Deux look the part, with its basket-weave patterned floor, big brasserie-style mirrors, reupholstered chairs (which have indeed come from Le Goulue) and toffee-colored banquette, which runs the length of the room. But “looking the part” doesn’t mean pastiche or cliché. Café Deux is a one-off. You need only check out the antique-style Edison bulb lights in a variety of shapes and sizes above the bar to know that –– more of a St. Germain or Marais vibe, I’d say, than a traditional Montparnasse brasserie one.

As for the food, the sisters, steeped in the upscale restaurant business, have got it absolutely spot-on. Open early until late, you’ll f ind croissants, pain au chocolats (both made in-house daily) and scrumptious hot egg dishes for breakfast, transitioning into seasonal salads, quiches, rice bowls, and a superb steak tartare at lunch. Dinner sees a couple of rather more substantial dishes – one f ish, one chicken –along with an excellent steak frites, join the menu.

At a recent weekend brunch, I rolled out all the superlatives for my Norwegian eggs, which is what Café Deux calls its eggs Benedict with smoked salmon –– eggs with rich, golden yokes sitting on prime smoked salmon over delicate English muf-

f ins, the whole lot anointed with a perfect hollandaise. And while I never thought I’d wax lyrical about anything as prosaic as quiche, Café Deux’s crust-less quiche, an ambrosial, almost soufflé-like tumble of featherlight eggs folded with Gruyère, spinach and cream and served piping hot in an earthenware dish, had me at the f irst, unforgettable forkful.

For dessert, the unashamedly indulgent menu includes chocolate

caramel parfait and a beautifully made, elegant rhubarb and orange galette. In a virtuoso rendering of a classic New York cheesecake, Café Deux’s version has hibiscus-poached strawberries crowning a splendid homemade cheesecake, which sits on a buttery, croissant crust. Also available are petits-fours-sized chocolates, or Cupped Desserts, top-quality, chocolatey confections that represent a separate business for the

Denoyer sisters. The confections are strikingly displayed at the café’s entrance, to guzzle onsite or to have boxed to take away.

As for drinking, it’s a pleasure, with a short, eclectic, mostly French wine list and a full complement of spritzes and classic cocktails. There is also a raft of nonalcoholic ones, including a Figlia spritz, a spicy “margarita” and “espresso martini.” Even the teas won praise, the cinnamon plum tea “as delicious as a dessert,” according to my guest. Still and sparkling bottled water, by the way, are free of charge.

I’ll admit to feeling a little perplexed by the glitter ball at the far end of the room. Are the sisters planning discos nights? Watch out for the noise volume if so, as even with just eight other people eating on one of my visits, the decibel count in the smallish space was high.

But that’s the only gray mark against this utterly charming café, where the quality of the food is matched only by the sweetness of the service –– where the answer to our f irst three requests went like this: “Yes,” “of course” and “no problem” and continued in the same af f irmative vein.

In other words, my kind of café. I think it may be yours, too.

Sullivan begins $20M airport terminal project

Plans to build a new $20 million terminal building at the Sullivan County Airport in the town of Bethel have taken off with the May 30 closing of the existing John J.J. McGough Terminal. The airport is located on a 600acre hilltop about f ive miles northwest of Monticello.

The existing 55-year-old building is due to be replaced with a 12,000-square-foot two-story terminal that will offer state-ofthe-art facilities, including a mezzanine, outdoor deck and of f ices that Sullivan County expects to offer for rent.

“Airport operations will be unaffected,” said the county’s Public Works Commissioner Edward McAndrew. “Throughout the two years of this project, the airport will remain open for takeoffs, landings, maintenance, repairs, storage, refueling and flight instruction.”

Pilots and passengers flying to the airport during the construction period will be able to use a pilot lounge inside of Hangar H7. There also are 24-hour bathrooms inside the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Building, which is next to the terminal area.

The Sullivan County Legislature recently accepted an $18.5 million grant from the Governor’s Upstate Airport Development & Revitalization Program, administered

by the New York State Department of Transportation to help fund the terminal project. The Sullivan County Legislature added $4 million of county funding.

“We feel this rebuild is essential to attracting the kind of activity and develop -

ment that the airport is capable of sustaining,” stated Legislature Chairman Robert A. Doherty. “Couple this with the other ongoing investments in the airport and we believe this facility will be an attractive and competitive destination for aviation

and nonaviation businesses.”

When the airport was opened in July of 1969, there was optimism that the DC-9 and Boeing 727 airliner jets of that day would soon by landing on Sullivan’s 6,298-feet-long be 150-feet-wide runway in droves. Mohawk Airlines ran service to Montreal, Toronto, Buffalo, Elmira, and New York City with connections to Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Washington. The Concord Resort and Grossinger’s joined forces in a plan to fly in guests for all-inclusive weekend and vacation packages. Ransome Airlines also operated at Sullivan for a time. However, passenger activity never reached the levels necessary for any of the operators to sustain service.

The county hopes to attract additional flights by personal and business aircraft in addition to regular airline service.

Kingston awarded $1.5M for St. Joseph's Lofs project

The Ulster County city Kingston has been awarded a $1.15 million state grant to help fund the St. Joseph’s Lofts project, which involves repurposing a former parish house at 59 Pearl St. and a former religious school building at 236 Wall St. CB Developers LLC is the project’s developer and is due to provide additional funding.

The project consists of the preservation and adaptive reuse of the former St. Joseph’s School located at 236 Wall St. and the

adjacent former convent parish house at 59 Pearl St. The school was constructed in 1915. It is to be fully updated to current accessibility and code requirements and converted into 10 of f ice suites. There would be two of f ice suites at the main level and four each on the second and third floors. The current g ym and performance stage space located on the third floor would be converted into an event center. It’s expected that diverse cultural events will be staged in the event space.

The parish house at 59 Pearl St. was built in 1905. Plans call for it to be converted into three residential units.

The state money was awarded to Kingston as a result of a grant application prepared by the city’s grants management of f ice.

“I am so proud of the work my grants management team does each day to help private entities and nonprof its access state resources,” Kingston’s Mayor Steve Noble said. “I’m thrilled we were able to secure this funding for a great mixed-use project in the heart of the Stockade District. Projects like the St. Joseph’s Lofts are exactly the kind of smart development we need in our community that preserve historic architecture, create new neighborhood amenities and build much-needed housing.”

The state money comes from funds in the state’s Restore New York Communities Initiative. The Kingston project was one of 70 sharing in $112.9 million in state funding through the program, which is designed to help remove blight, reinvigorate downtowns and generate economic opportunity.

Poughkeepsie construction exec wants more worker recruitment and training

The COO and vice president of a Poughkeepsie-based construction and construction management company says that the industry needs to do more to encourage young people to learn the construction trades and then needs to help them launch their careers.

Scott Travis of Mid Hudson Construction Management points to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s 2023 economic outlook that reports the country is suffering from a massive shortage of skilled workers while another estimate suggests a shortage of half-million skilled workers in the construction industry alone.

“It’s evident that businesses need to step up and start actively advocating for change in the trades, especially as it pertains to the development of young professionals,” Travis said. “Careers in the trades have lots to offer, including paths to f inancial prosperity, job security, an outlook of projected growth. Yet the nation’s tendency to value four-year college degrees above all other certi f ications, job experience and technical skills has created a false narrative among high school students: if you pass up traditional college for the trades, you are somehow less intelligent or ambitious.”

Travis told the Business Journals that his company has experienced shortages in skilled day laborers as well as skilled craftsmen, machinery operators and foremen.

“We’re actually an open shop in Mid Hudson Construction,” Travis said. “We do as much as we possibly can in trying to develop the skilled workers. We’re reaching out to local high schools. We’re attending job fairs. We’ll actually put together a meet and greet. We’ll do everything we possibly can to try to entice the younger generation.”

Travis said that his company lets young people know that there’s a great career in construction, especially for those who want to start from the ground up.

“One step business owners can take is getting involved with local trade schools,” Travis said. “Volunteer at school events, offer to present as a guest speaker, participate in job fairs. If you’re able, sup -

port the program by providing an annual scholarship for a promising student. By developing relationships with the institutions that are training tomorrow’s skilled workers, you’re helping to create a pipeline of young trades professionals that will ultimately contribute to workforce development.”

Travis said that Mid Hudson currently has two interns who who do not come from a construction background.

“They want to learn the industry, which is exciting for us,” Travis said.

“They want to learn it from both sides, from a labor standpoint in the f ield and also as an assistant project manager in learning the inside of the business as

well. We feel at Mid Hudson instead of just shoehorning them into the position we want to show them all the business because maybe the f ield work isn’t for them but the of f ice is.”

Travis said that one of his concerns is what the employment situation will look like in f ive to seven years from now.

“Here in the Hudson Valley Region, in New York state, it’s going to continue to be an issue,” Travis said. “We can have a growing economy every single day but if we don’t have the people serving that growth the outcome is going to be a loss. Not only the construction industry, but every industry really has to switch gears and have the younger generation come up

and want to work.”

Travis described Mid Hudson as a unique company and noted that it recently decided to create a division specializing in site work, preparing land for construction.

“Myself and my brother founded it in 1998,” Travis said. “We started as a construction management company. We offer not only the construction management portion but general contracting as well. We’re aligned with some great community leaders in helping them develop in the Hudson Valley. We just completed a great project for Mount Saint Mary.”

The project at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh transformed an underutilized residence hall and former chapel into a state-of-the-art wellness center. The Desmond Center for Community Engagement and Wellness Center was proposed to provide medical and educational services for underserved individuals and families in the local community.

“We’re f inishing up the Dutchess County Hospice Center,” Travis said. “We have the ability to do public works jobs as well as work in the private sector. We do jobs anywhere from $1 million to $30 million. We have a staff of 40 employees.”

Travis said he has been spending what he termed “countless hours” with developers helping to get their projects to work from a f inancial standpoint in the current era of inflation and higher interest rates.

Norwalk and Westport Chambers ofer update on their local real estate markets

The Greater Norwalk Chamber and the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce recently joined together to host the annual Real Estate Outlook at the M&T Bank Magnif icent Room at the SoNo Collection in downtown Norwalk. The panel featured a wide-ranging discussion of trends and currents in the real estate market across Norwalk and the surrounding area.

Eric Bernheim served as the host and moderator of the event for the eighth time. Bernheim is a managing partner at FLB Law and head of the f irm’s Real Estate & Land Use Practice. He noted that his practice has played key roles in both Norwalk and Westport, including the YMCA development in downtown Westport and the SoNo Collection itself.

“In my land use practice, I’m seeing a lot of different issues, but two really kind of stand out in all of the projects we are involved in,” Bernheim told the audience of local business leaders and municipal of f icials. “One is affordable housing, the other is parking. Gov. Ned Lamont has recently said we’re heading towards another housing crisis, or a different kind of housing crisis. We are very short on housing supply. I’ve seen numbers that say we’re 400,000 units of housing short in Connecticut, and 89,000 units short for affordable and moderate-income workforce housing. Yet last year alone Connecticut built more residential units than at any time in its history.”

Norwalk apartments have a 5% vacancy rate, according to Bernheim, meaning that they are f illed almost as soon as they are built.

“Another issue that we’re seeing is parking,” Bernheim added, calling parking minimums one of the greatest barriers to adapting buildings to new uses and a continuing problem for zoning departments. Bernheim cited the opening line of a CNN story to drive home the scale of parking as a topic: “Approximately 2 billion parking spots cover the country, enough to pave over the entire state of Connecticut.”

“In my opinion the best person or people to decide how much parking needs to go with the development is the developer,” Bernhein said, using the SoNo Collection as an example since it far exceeds the parking minimums set out by the city. “They’re actually over-parked at this site because that’s what their tenants wanted.”

Dan Suozzi, a co-founder and partner at ROAN Development Ventures, described how his own project, the Hamlet at Saugatuck, approached issues of parking through community engagement.

“We’ve spent years listening to members of the community and trying to incorporate as much as we possibly could to make not just a successful development but also a place for the public to enjoy,” Suozzi said, describing the project’s emphasis on open spaces and access as reimagining that section of Saugatuck. “So really providing something for the community and transforming an area that is currently just 4,000 parking spaces.”

David Genovese, the CEO of Baywater

Properties, praised the campaign put forward by ROAN partners during their push for rezoning, which featured local business owners in the area near the proposed development discussing how they expect it to impact their shops and restaurants. Genovese himself oversaw the creation of the Corbin District in Darien, which he described as the result of realizing an important truth about the way real estate in Fair f ield County operates.

“In the early 2000s, they realized that these towns are competing for residents and for businesses just as we are competing for anything in business,” Genovese said. “There was sort of a mindset shift. I was there when it happened.”

Genovese bemoaned the struggle to develop in many towns but praised Norwalk for not imposing barriers.

“I thought I was going to get into real estate investment and development to get to work designing great buildings and investing them and managing,” he said. “I never realized I would spend half of my time talking about parking.”

Adam Cognetta, the managing director of the Capital Equities Group, which owns some of Norwalk’s most prominent of f ice space at 50 Washington St., and Jessica Vonashek, the chief of economic and community development for the city, provided the Norwalk-speci f ic perspective for the discussion.

Vonashek highlighted the city’s complete overhaul of zoning regulations, the f irst in 40 years.

“We’re happy to be having them rewritten,” she said. “The proposed zoning regs

are using a very user-friendly template. The structure is different. I think everybody in the room would agree that the trick to being able to develop is knowing how much time and how much money is going to go into permitting and licensing. This zoning is really geared toward creating a prompt and predictable zoning pattern for the city.”

Cognetta pointed out that the Webster Lot development, a major project, which will place hundreds of housing units and thousands of square feet of of f ice and retail on the site of what is presently the parking lot next door to their property at 50 Washington St., is one area where creative parking solutions have required working with tenants.

“For us it’s been a matter of working within the existing constraints and the land we have and the company that manages that lot for us to accommodate our tenants,” Cognetta said. “They’re f iguring out if we downsize space can they get away with three spaces of parking per thousand feet when you have 7,000 feet or can you get away with less?”

Cognetta added that a temporary tech solution with a f ixed number of tagged license plates permitted into the lot has proved to be a workable solution, but the panelists largely agreed that having a site-appropriate amount of parking rather than a one-size-f its-all formula or solution would likely go a long way toward alleviating development costs and providing some amount of relief from the housing crunch. Less of an emphasis was placed on high tech solutions than a fundamental rethink of parking’s role in the construction landscape.

Eversource exits the ofshore wind space

Eversource (NYSE:ES) has signed agreement with Ørsted to sell it’s 50% interest in the uncontracted federal offshore wind lease area currently owned jointly by the two companies for $625 million.

Eversource announced last year it was reviewing its offshore wind energy portfolio and considering whether to sell related assets. In addition to the agreement with Ørsted to sell its uncontracted seabed and other interests, Eversource determined that it is in the best long-term interest of the company to pursue the sale of its existing 50% interest in its three jointly owned contracted offshore wind projects (South Fork Wind, Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind).

The agreement includes contracts and partnerships for key operational assets in the U.S. Northeast, including 187,000 acres of uncontracted seabed for offshore wind energy and has a potential capacity of up to 4 GW. As part of this agreement, Ørsted will acquire contracts and leases for strategic port facilities and other assets. Ørsted will take full ownership of partnerships with the Port of Providence, the Port of Davisville and Quonset Point (all in Rhode Island) and with Connecticut’s New London State Pier.

Ørsted will also take full ownership of the operations and maintenance hub in East Setauket, New York, and the charter agreement for the first American-built offshore wind service operation vessel, which is under construction at Edison Chouest’s facility in Houma, Louisiana, and is more than 50% complete.

Some Things Change. Some Don’t.

What changes

Technology is changing faster than ever. Heavy equipment and the software in it is more complex and can do more for you: GPS, remote control, artificial intelligence. It’s no longer enough to operate equipment. Today and in the future, you have to understand it.

What stays the same

IUOE Local 825 has always kept pace with change. In 2022, we got ahead of it. Our nationally known training center became accredited as a technical college.

This means our engineers are schooled in more than operating heavy equipment. They are learning to maintain and even develop software that runs it, rather than being dependent on it.

Think ahead

Our goal is to stay relevant in a changing world, continuing to offer the most highly trained, skilled and experienced operators available anywhere. Today. And tomorrow.

A GRANT FOR THE ALDRICH

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut, has been approved for a $25,000 Grant for Arts Projects award from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support its exhibition

“Chi on Thomas: The Cavernous,” on view at the museum from Sept. 15 to March 3, 2024. The Aldrich project is among 1,130 projects across the country, totaling more than $31 million, that were selected during this second round of Grants for Arts Projects fiscal year 2023 funding.

Museum Executive Director Cybele Maylone, said, “The Aldrich is thrilled to present The Cavernous artist Chi on Thomas’ first museum exhibition, later this year. Featuring a new body of work and the artist’s first outdoor sculpture, this am-

bitious exhibition will also be accompanied by Thomas’ first museum publication….” With his works Thomas examines the ruptures that exist where race, gender expression and biography interconnect. He joins reclaimed materials recovered from abandoned colonial architecture — columns, windows, doorways, wooden spindles and ceiling tin — with cast fragments of his body split and fractured in urethane and foam, as well as plaster and leather, sometimes combined with sections of the Bible. Interrogating a legacy of colonialization and the Black diaspora in the U.S. Thomas interweaves materials resonant with personal and collective histories of trauma and repair as well as resilience and transformation.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS LAUNCH DESPITE COVID

Farida was the head of the esthetics department at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa at the Westchester Mall when Covid hit and Red Door filed liquidation bankruptcy and closed all 30 locations. Overnight Farida lost her job, her team and her clients. Not one to be discouraged, Farida immediately decided to launch her own business to continue o ering the same high-quality services that Red Door was famous for. That’s why Farida Skin Care Studio opened for business in June of 2020, during the peak of Covid 19

starting with one treatment room and two employees. Just two and a half years later, Farida is opening a 4,500-square-foot location with six treatment rooms and 15 employees at 120 Bloomingdale Road, directly across from Bloomingdale’s.

Farida said, “We have created a retreat where our guests can receive the healthy self-care treatments they need and have a chance to relax and de-stress.

We o er a nurturing environment that allows our guests to leave recharged and refreshed.”

A project homepage https://tinyurl. com/trumbullmallstudy or the town website are where residents and stakeholders can learn more about the e ort, follow project progress, learn about upcoming events and submit comments and ideas electronically. As the study advances, interactive features will be added to give residents and stakeholders a chance to react to ideas and provide feedback on concepts and strategies that emerge from the planning process.

In addition to the new project homepage, residents can attend an interactive community session at the Trumbull Mall on Tuesday, June 20 from 4-7 p.m., in the concourse area between the Cheesecake Factory and Ulta Beauty. Residents can arrive at any time during the scheduled event.

“We hope as many residents as possible get involved. We are establishing multiple ways of contributing to this important undertaking. We are setting a vision for the future of the area that will lead to new investment. It is important that the community helps to drive success into the future. This area hosts our largest taxpayer, many important amenities for Trumbull and the region, and close to 3,000 jobs. We are in this together,” said First Selectman Vicki Tesoro.

VETERANS HONORED AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT

On Saturday, May 20, the Million Air hangar at Westchester County Airport was the site for celebrating 68 local veterans who represented WWII, Korean War, Cold War and Vietnam War. The veterans participated in a Hudson Valley Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. A formal ceremony and motorcade served as a celebratory send-o as they embarked on a free trip to visit their memorials in our nation’s capital.

NONPROFIT WESTCHESTER ADDRESSES RACISM

Nonprofit Westchester (NPW) recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of Peer-to-Peer, the first-ever a nity group for nonprofit personnel of color in Westchester and the only one of its kind in New York state. The event welcomed nearly 100 guests from local nonprofits and the government and business sectors.

Peer to Peer was created in response to NPW’s report “Taking Action: Charting and Anti-Racist Path Forward in Westchester’s Nonprofit Sector,” which highlights racial disparities in nonprofit leadership, bias in treatment of BIPOC personnel and no real change in the racial make-up of nonprofit executives over the past two decades.

Participants at the celebration had the chance to learn about the work of Peer-to-Peer and to hear from Kymberly McNair, director of social transformation at My Sister’s Place. “These meetings are like church to me. I need a space like this to help recover from working in spaces that don’t o er the kind of liberated sense of self I need. It’s a beautiful thing to be

in conversation with people who get it and can still find joy,” said McNair.

Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins, the keynote speaker, stressed the importance of Peer to Peer and joined the audience in a special tribute to Dr. Alexandria Connally for her leadership of the program.

The Peer-to-Peer group is jointly planned and facilitated by Dr. Alexandria Connally, NPW Equity and Inclusion Consultant, Nonprofit Westchester and CEO and founder of Culturally Responsive Environments and Disciplines (CREAD); Lucria Ortiz, president and CEO of Yonkers Family YMCA and chair, NPW, Peer-to-Peer; and Michelle A. Nicholas, founder and CEO of The NICO Consulting and chair, NPW Racial Equity

Nonprofit Westchester is Westchester’s only membership organization dedicated solely to advancing and advocating for the needs and interests of the county’s nonprofit sector, the people and populations served and the nonprofit workforce.

The recent Supreme Court ruling in Sackett vs. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a devastating blow to protection of wetlands across the country, stripping the protections provided by the Clean Water Act dating back to 1977. The 5-4 decision essentially redefines the “Waters of the United States” to exclude wetlands that don’t have the continuous surface connection, which will limit severely EPA’s jurisdiction over virtually all of our nation’s wetlands.

At the core of the ruling is a requirement that wetlands be connected to rivers

by surface channels so as to be indistinguishable from the surface water body in order to be protected under the Clean Water Act.

Roger Reynolds, senior legal director, Save the Sound, said, “The decision of the five-Justice majority is the worst-case scenario for federal wetland protection. In one fell swoop, virtually all of wetlands are read out of the Clean Water Act and cast into regulatory uncertainty. …This makes it all the more important that we re-double our e orts to use all available tools to pro-

tect Connecticut and New York wetlands, including local and state laws.”

David Ansel, vice president of Water Protection, Save the Sound, said, “Fortunately, New York and Connecticut each have state wetlands statues that are administered locally. They have played a critical role in our e orts to protect key wetlands resources across the Long Island Sound region. …We will continue to advocate in Albany and Hartford in pursuit of the strongest possible protections for all waters in our region.”

Pamplemousse Project, a new White Plains café that donates 100% of profits to charity, has just announced the recipients of its first grants: Lifting Up Westchester, Paws Crossed Animal Rescue and Westchester Youth Alliance will each receive $3,500.

The Pamplemousse Project’s Customer Advisory Board – comprised entirely of the café’s customers – selected the three organizations from 10 nominations. Grant distribution will take place every quarter.

HONOR AWARD FOR IONA

Noting the important role Iona University plays in the economic development of Westchester County and beyond, the Building Owners and Managers Association of Westchester (BOMA) recently recognized Iona with its Hall of Honor Award at its 31st annual awards dinner.

More than 150 leaders from the county’s commercial real estate industry were on hand for the event, which took

place at Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown on May 11.

“During my 28 years at Iona, I’ve seen the university evolve in so many ways, especially in our infrastructure and campus facilities. Thank you to BOMA for recognizing the important role Iona plays in being a vital force of economic development for the region…, said Richard Murray, assistant vice president of

facilities and campus operations.

The city of Yonkers – the largest city in Westchester County and the third largest city in New York state – was also recognized. Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano issued a proclamation declaring the day as “Iona University Day.”

Founded in 1940 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, today Iona has two campuses, one in New Rochelle and the other in Bronxville.

Iona's 45-acre campus in New Rochelle has seen several notable capital improvements in recent years, including the construction of a new residence hall on North Avenue; the complete renovation of the Hynes Athletics Center Arena; the construction of the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation; and the addition of a new green space in the heart of campus known as the Murphy Green.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE

Westchester County marked Memorial Day with a special ceremony at Lasdon Park, Arboretum and Veterans Memorial in Katonah on Friday, May 26. County Executive George Latimer and Veterans Service Agency Director Ron Tocci were joined by other elected regional o cials.

Latimer said: “Memorial Day has its own specialty to it. Because everyone who has put on the uniform of this country has made a sacrifice. Anyone who has gone through 13 weeks of basic training – I don’t care if you were peeling potatoes in the kitchen during your time in the military, if you went through 13 weeks of basic training, you make a sacrifice for your country.... But today is that special step beyond that, where we are saying that we are recognizing those who not just made a tremendous sacrifice for the nation but made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tocci said, “The defining moments of our history came during periods of great conflict when American sons and daughters answered the call to fight for freedom and democracy. These individuals – our friends, neighbors and relatives – actually changed the course of world history. It is imperative that we reflect on the service and the sacrifice of these people. They were ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things out of a sense of duty, honor and patriotism. Their compelling experiences ought to be an inspiration and example for all Americans.”

Lifting Up Westchester will use the funds to o set rising food costs at the Community Soup Kitchen in White Plains, which provides free meals and other services to homeless and low-income residents in Westchester County.

Paws Crossed Animal Rescue will use funds to pay for the spaying and neutering of animals coming into the rescue before they go out for adoption.

Westchester Youth Alliance will fund the Words Matter program, which helps teens in Westchester develop themselves as confident community builders and activists.

A celebration of the winners will be held on Wednesday, June 7 at 9 a.m. at The Pamplemousse Project. The public is invited to attend.

The Pamplemousse Project o ers ethically sourced co ee and hand-crafted drinks prepared by trained baristas, as well as a full complement of other hot and cold drinks. Pastries and baked goods from a variety of local bakeries are served fresh daily. Located at 124 Mamaroneck Ave., the store hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m.-7 p.m. weekends.

G OOD THINGS

CASINO HOSTS BLOOD DONATION

In partnership with the New York Blood Center, nearly 40 Empire City Casino employees, community members and guests donated blood that will help 114 local patients in need.

The blood drive at the casino was supported by state, county and local elected o cials from around the region. With New York’s health-care system requiring nearly 2,000 donations daily to address the needs of the community, Empire City’s blood drive resulted in nearly 40 donations that will make it to local area hospitals to treat up to 114 patients in need.

“At Empire City by MGM Resorts, we pride ourselves on supporting organizations that provide direct services towards residents in the local communities in which we operate, as well as where our employees reside,” said Ed Domingo, senior vice president and general manager.

“Thank you to Empire City for setting up a blood donation drive in Yonkers this month. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Blood is essential to helping us,” said Westchester County Legislature Minority Leader James Nolan. “This life-saving procedure starts with all of us doing our part. Be the reason for someone’s heartbeat.”

PEDIATRIC NURSES SELECTED FOR FELLOWSHIPS

Blythedale Children’s Hospital at95 Bradhurst Ave. inValhalla announced that Jill M. Wegener, M.S.N., R.N., senior vice president, chief nursing o cer and Kara Dyer-Dombroski M.S.N., R.N., director of nursing, have been selected for the Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellowship Program (JJNIF), facilitated by the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and the Wharton School.

Only 10 teams of nurse leaders from health systems across the country have been selected for the program, which challenges participants to address a real-world challenge their health system or hospital is facing using human-centered design and business and leadership principles specific to innovation.

Wegener describes the fellowship as a “covet-

ed opportunity to address a care-deficit impacting medically complex, fragile children across the United States.”

“We are seeking the partnership, mentorship and guidance to help us create a center of excellence program for transitioning medically complex children home into a medically competent community,” she said. “We want to establish that vitally important roadmap that all children’s hospitals and facilities across the United States can implement to ensure their patients will discharge home safely.”

The year-long program will conclude in May 2024 at which time fellows will present the problem they are addressing and their recommended solution.

FLB Law Supports Fairfield County Businesses Throughout Entire Lifecycle

FLB Law is a full-service law f irm that provides legal counsel to businesses of all sizes in Fair f ield County and beyond. The f irm’s Business & Corporate Transactions Practice, led by managing partner Stephen Fogerty and partner Rick Costantini, provides guidance to companies throughout their lifecycle. From selecting the most appropriate type of organizational structure, such as an LLP, LLC, PLLC, or S- Corp. etc., to handling business/asset acquisitions and real estate transactions, land use and zoning matters, tax issues, and asset sales, the f irm’s team is always ready to assist. And should disputes arise, the f irm’s litigation practice steps in.

FLB Law’s attorneys are experienced in dealing with local agencies, commissions, and federal and state courts in jurisdictions throughout Connecticut. The f irm has earned the trust of business owners by consistently delivering optimal results across practice areas and being rooted in the Fair f ield County community.

One example of a longtime client that utilizes the f irm’s multiple service offerings is Norm Bloom & Son, LLC, better known as Copps Island Oysters. Last year, the f irm created a corporate structure to support Copps Island’s diversi f ication and growth into retail stores, restaurants, and food trucks.

Among some of the company’s recent ventures with which FLB Law has assisted includes Rick representing Jeanne Bloom, Norm Bloom’s daughter, with the formation of VESSL, LLC, which creates body care products using sugar kelp from her family’s aquafarm. In 2019, the f irm represented the Bloom family in its acquisition of Brown’s Marina, where they opened the f irst Oyster Shack, a food truck on the waterfront. The company also rents its catering food truck, the Shuck Truck, for private parties and festivals and has ownership interests in brick-and-mortar restaurants such as Match Burger Lobster in Westport, Connecticut.

This is just one example of many. As a result of its growth, the f irm is seeking a corporate attorney with a book of business who wants to join this burgeoning f irm that not only serves the Fair f ield County community with legal services but also gives back through its ACCELERATE platform.

If you are in need of legal representation and would like to learn how FLB Law can add value, or if you are a lawyer looking to move your practice to a welcoming f irm, please contact Stephen Fogerty at fogerty@flb.law.
