TOWN APPROVES REDEVELOPMENT PLAN BY DANIELLE BRODY

WESTPORT BURNISHES ALREADY LUSTROUS DOWNTOWN

dbrody@westfairinc.com THE GOAL OF WESTPORT’S DOWNTOWN master redevelopment plan is not to attract growing businesses, large retailers or new residents, said Dewey Loselle, the town operations director. Rather, the recently adopted plan will improve what’s already there and prepare the affluent town for what’s coming. “A lot of towns are doing this because they have to, because they’re in trouble,” he said, adding that Westport is doing well and at about full-business capacity. “This is a downtown enhancement plan. We don’t necessarily need more business.” After a year and a half of planning between the town and residents, the Westport Board of Selectmen accepted the plan this month. The plan will improve

mobility, transportation, parking and aesthetics, take better advantage of the waterfront and maintain the core values of the town, Loselle said. The historic town, which developed “haphazardly,” has had sporadic updates but never a comprehensive plan, Loselle said. Some sidewalks are brick and some are pavement. The sidewalk street lamps are meant for highways. Residents joke the cars have the best view of the water because there is parking along the river, which is potential green space, Loselle said. Some of these “holes” will be repaired in the short-term, with bigger infrastructure changes happening over the next several years. Loselle said the plan is a way for Westport to shape its future, rather than to let it happen passively. » WESTPORT, page 4

Vertex builds on unchanging ‘pillars of marketing’ STAMFORD COMPANY THRIVES ACROSS 33 YEARS

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com RONALD AND BARBARA OCCHINO, both 57, have witnessed the media tsunami from the catbird seat as principals of Vertex Marketing Communications in Stamford, which handles marketing, advertising and direct mail. Their first project — 33 years ago, printed on heavystock yellow paper for less than $100 and called The Phone Card — predated 911 emergency calling and became a fixture taped beside the phones of countless regional homes with listings like police, fire and poison control. “For the convenience of Westport citizens,” read one phone card, preserved in a plastic sheath like the relic of a distant age in the com-

pany’s 992 High Ridge Road offices. Today, a typical contract for the firm is a bilingual transportation or health campaign for the state’s Department of Health or Department of Transportation, both of which are clients. The company employs 26, but that number includes three spun-off businesses: two driving schools and a junk-removal service. Ronald Occhino is CEO and account director managing the sales and business aspects of the agency, developing marketing concepts and budgets, managing accounts and billings, implementing direct mail and advertising campaigns and consulting clients. Barbara Occhino is president and creative director, developing and managing campaigns from concept to implementation.

She also conducts and moderates focus groups. Vertex client sectors include government, automotive, medical, educational, Fortune 500, retail, startups, transportation and entertainment. Its success has been helped by a business ethos that features basic tenets like burning shoe leather, answering the phone and — a point that Ronald said is increasingly lost — knowing the business. A marketing major at Rutgers University in New Jersey, where the couple met, Ronald began in corporate sales, boosting his territory for a national food company at a rate the company, American Frozen Foods, had not seen in years.

Lockheed Martin to buy Sikorsky for $9 billion

aryland-based aerospace company Lockheed Martin has entered into a definitive agreement to buy Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. in Stratford for $9 billion. In a statement, Sikorsky parent company United Technologies Corp. in Hartford said it was a cash sale. The news July 20 followed a month of hints that a deal was forthcoming. “Exiting the helicopter business will allow UTC to better focus on providing hightechnology systems and services to the aerospace and building industries and to deliver improved and sustained value to our customers and shareowners,” UTC President and CEO Gregory Hayes said in a statement. “Sikorsky’s acquisition by Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s leading aerospace and defense companies, will ensure it remains a technology leader at the forefront of vertical lift,” he said. “We are committed to working closely with Lockheed Martin to execute a seamless transition for customers and employees.” As rumors of a deal swirled this month, Stratford Mayor John Harkins voiced confidence Sikorsky planned to stay in the town.

According to Hearst Connecticut Media, a Lockheed spokesman said Sikorsky will keep its Stratford headquarters and Sikorsky name. Lockheed Chief Financial Officer Bruce Tanner said job cuts, facility consolidation and the elimination of overlapping costs are possible, Hearst reported. Lockheed said the price “is effectively reduced to approximately $7.1 billion, after taking into account tax benefits resulting from the transaction.” The company said the IRS has classified the transaction as “an asset purchase for tax purposes,” resulting in $1.9 billion in savings. “Sikorsky is a natural fit for Lockheed Martin and complements our broad portfolio of world-class aerospace and defense products and technologies,” said Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed Martin chairwoman, president and CEO. “I’m confident this acquisition will help us extend our core business into the growing areas of helicopter production and sustainment.” The acquisition is subject to customary conditions, Lockheed said in a statement, including securing regulatory approvals, and is expected to close late this year or early next year.

Sikorsky and Lockheed have partnered on a number of programs, including the VH-92 presidential helicopter, combat rescue helicopter and the Naval MH-60 helicopter. David Cadden, professor emeritus in the School of Business at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, weighed in on the deal, saying, “It would appear that Lockheed Martin is actively committed to being in the defense industry. It has a proportion

of sales coming from defense-related units that is far higher than Boeing or Northrop Grumman. Decades ago, Lockheed Martin lost a major helicopter contract with its highly advanced Cheyenne helicopter. This will be Lockheed Martin’s largest acquisition in two decades. One hopes that the new parent firm will not immediately seek major job relocations.” — Bill Fallon

State unemployment rate hits 7-year low BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

onnecticut’s unemployment rate fell below 6 percent last month for the first time in seven years. The state Department of Labor’s preliminary report also revealed Connecticut added 600 jobs, seasonally adjusted, from the previous month, including a 2,600-job increase in the private sector. At 5.7 percent, Connecticut’s unemployment rate in June was down from 6 percent in May and the lowest rate since July 2008. The unemployment rates in the U.S. and neighboring states are lower. The national unemployment rate is 5.3 percent. New York and Massachussets’ unemployment rates are 5.5 and 4.6 percent, respectively. “(It is) still higher than most of the other New England states and shows just how stubborn our economic recovery is more than five years after the end of the recession,” said Peter Gioia, vice president and economist for the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, in a statement. In June 2014, the national unemployment rate was 6.1 percent and Connecticut’s unemployment rate was 6.5 percent. The improved rate is attributed to the

state and private sector adding jobs that were lost during the recession from March 2008 to February 2010. The state has recovered 82.3 percent of jobs at an average of 1,530 per month, the Labor Department said. The private sector has recovered about 94.3 percent of the jobs lost at an average of 1,644 jobs per month. The construction and mining industry

grew 3.9 percent from May to June, the most growth of the state’s 10 supersectors. Other growing industries included manufacturing, professional and businesses services and financial activities, which has grown every month this year. Government; leisure and hospitality; trade, transportation and utilities; and education and health services lost jobs last

month. The information sector stayed the same. The Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk labor market area saw job growth last month and an unemployment rate of 5.2 percent, down from 5.4 percent in May. The Danbury labor market area reported a job loss yet saw its jobless rate drop a percentage point to 4.3 percent.

Survey ﬁnds ﬁrst-time homebuyers entering market STAGNANT WAGES, DEBT ARE COMMON OBSTACLES TO BUYING A HOUSE

ew Jersey-based TD Bank, with 17 facilities in Fairfield County and 19 in Westchester County, released a recent survey that sees first-time homeowners entering the market after a recession-fueled stint on the sidelines. The TD survey of 1,000 polled those who indicated they were looking to buy their first home in the next five years. Nearly one in five potential first-time homebuyers are actively looking to buy and nearly two-thirds would like to provide a down payment of 20 per-

cent or more, the survey found. The survey cited debt and stagnant wages as factors that had kept potential buyers from becoming buyers. The data also revealed 62 percent of potential first-time homebuyers think they will purchase a home within the next two years. Among millennial survey respondents, the number is 67 percent. “It’s encouraging to see interest from the first-time homebuyers, who have been cautious for much of the housing recov-

ery,” said Scott Haymore, TD Bank’s head of pricing and secondary markets. “Consumers are gaining confidence in the economy and many are looking to enter the housing market within the next two years.” Other details of the survey included: • More than two-thirds of consumers (68 percent) looking to purchase their first home are interested in move-in ready homes; onethird want a fixer-upper. • Forty-three percent are looking to purchase their first home in a suburban area

compared with 20 percent who want a home in a big city or metro area. • When asked what is preventing them from purchasing their first home, respondents most often cited the need to save money for a down payment (64 percent) and the need to pay down debt (45 percent). For millennials answering the same question, 70 percent cited the need for more savings and 52 percent were hamstrung by debt. — Bill Fallon

Hotel Zero Degrees planned in Danbury

oldwell Banker Commercial’s Scalzo Group in Bethel has brokered the sale of 8.8 acres for a new Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury to accompany two hotels under the same brand already running in Stamford and Norwalk. Financial terms were not disclosed. Hal Kurfehs, Scalzo Group vice president,

made the announcement. The seller was Florida-based WCI Communities Rivington LLC and the buyer was Danbury-based Development Asset Group. RMS Cos., based in Stamford, will construct and own the project, Kurfehs said. The parcel is on the city’s west side — across the street from the new Regional

Hospice & Home Care facility on Milestone Road — and was recently approved by Danbury for “an upscale boutique hotel,” with 111 rooms, a 100-seat restaurant and a 120-seat banquet facility, according to a statement from the Scalzo Group. “The hotel would be the same concept as the Hotel Zero Degrees brand that

RMS Cos. have successfully developed in both Stamford and Norwalk,” the statement said. “The new hotel will provide Danbury with the luxurious facilities that top executives expect and will bring the city to the next level of hospitality,” Kurfehs said. — Bill Fallon

Bedford Square, a 110,000-square-foot mixed-use project on the corner of Church Lane, Elm Street and Main Street, could bring more people to town when it opens in 2017, said Stephen Desloge, president of the Westport Downtown Merchants Association and part of the committee for the master plan. He said Westport has become a strong regional retail attraction. Parking is already limited for shoppers and employees, especially during peak times on the weekends, he said. “It’s one of these growing pains that has to be faced,” Desloge said. Westport retains its approximately 27,000 residents and has a net inflow of shoppers from the surrounding area, attracting visitors to downtown, Loselle said. The downtown plan includes some solutions for parking, like co-managing certain parking lots. To create the redevelopment plan, Westport sought residents’ feedback through a campaign last year called “Your Downtown,” which involved public workshops, tours, a website and an online survey. Whether to move parking, add more or eliminate some was one of the most contentious issues, Loselle said. The survey revealed residents are worried about the limits of how much growth the 26-square-mile town can handle. Another running theme was the concern that national chains are replacing independent retailers in downtown. Many independents shops have been pushed out by high rents that bigger companies can afford, he said. Desloge said there are two demographics — longtime residents who moved in when independent stores were predominant and the newer generation who is moving to Westport partly for the national chains in the downtown. “It’s the changing of the times,” he said.

“Many of these towns are being transformed. They’re attracting new real estate.” In New Canaan and Greenwich, two peer towns the committee reviewed when creating the master plan, the main streets are also seeing more national retailers move in, Desloge said. There are still five or six independent stores on Westport’s Main Street, he said. Those that cannot afford it move where rent is more affordable a few blocks away and do fine, he said. Desloge, who owns Rockwell Art and Framing on Post Road, said he might have a stronger business if he moved to Main Street, but it is not worth the financial risk. Loselle said the town has a new rule preventing a company from coming in and taking up more than 20,000 square feet of storefront. The town also bought a historical house, Kemper Gunn, and relocated it to Elm Street for a smaller store to rent. Elm Street, which Loselle said is currently one of the less-attractive roads, will be revitalized in the short-term plan. Westport’s short-term plans — incorporating 24 months — are easier and less expen-

sive fixes than what may come later, Loselle said. The two-year fixes include: improving parking, sidewalk paving and turning Church Lane into a “shared street” that is one level with no sidewalks and cars and pedestrians sharing the road. Taylor Place is also slated to become a shared street in the mid-term plans that will occur over the next two to five years. The midterm plans involve connecting downtown along the riverfront and across Post Road and opening a cinema. If approved, the town will turn the vacant Save the Children building on the west side into another mixed-use development, Loselle said. Long-term plans will start after five years and could include more complex and creative endeavors, like constructing a downtown landing and evaluating the need for more structural parking. “What the town is doing in its master plan is understanding that we now have the opportunity to take all of the assets that the town has and create not just a great shopping experience, but sort of a great community experience for people that just want to come downtown and enjoy the waterfront,” Desloge said. Loselle said making Westport more desirable could come with a price for residents, like more visitors and higher property values. “People come here already,” Loselle said. “Some say too many people come here.”

State bioscience fund widens eligibility BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

ioscience companies up to 7 years old can now apply for state funding that was formerly available only to younger companies. BioInnovation Connecticut, managed by Connecticut Innovations, a state financing entity, invests in bioscience companies to speed the path to commercialization through its CT Bioscience Innovation Fund. Until July 1, only companies 3 years old and younger were eligible to apply, said Margaret Cartiera, vice president and fund manager for BioInnovation CT. Legislators took a second look at the age requirement because bioscience companies often take more time to develop, she said. In their first few years, many companies are setting up their team, filing for intellectual property, reviewing the market and doing preclinical work, Cartiera said. She said seven years is a better demarcation to define an early-stage bioscience company. “The way science occurs, it could take some time,” she said. The fund, started in January 2014, was allocated $200 million by the state to spend over 10 years, investing up to $500,000 each in early-stage nonprofit corporations, accredited colleges and universities and forprofit startups and early-stage businesses that benefit human health. These include companies developing therapeutics, diag-

nostics and medical devices as well as health care IT or software, Cartiera said. The goals of the fund are to stimulate economic development, create jobs and companies in the state and for BioInnovation CT to make an economic return to reinvest in other companies. The fund is also available to bioscience companies that plan to move to Connecticut. “We’re de-risking the opportunity for later-stage investors,” Cartiera said. “We’re helping companies progress to a point where later they could attract those much larger dollars.” Four companies have been funded so far, and two more have recently been accepted, she said. Three of the funded companies have delivered milestone updates, Cartiera said. BioInnovation CT can offer followon funding if a company is performing well and demonstrates the need for more money, she said. BioInnovation CT also has a regenerative medicine fund operating on $10 million through 2019. Companies of any age are eligible. Cartiera said the bioscience industry is growing and she sees the most activity in the New Haven/Branford area, near Yale University, and the Farmington area, near University of Connecticut Health Center. She said she hopes people from more areas of the state apply for funding. For more information about BioInnovation Connecticut, visit bioinnovationct.com.

Brownfield projects receive grants

he Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development will award $7 million to 12 brownfield projects across the state, including two in Fairfield County. The state will give $5.4 million to four remediation and redevelopment projects and $1.5 million to eight projects for assessment and investigation. State bond funding for remediation this budget biennium increased to $40m from $30m in the previous biennium. The two properties in Fairfield County are: • A 3.6-acre former public school site at 1000 E. Broadway in Stratford will receive $1,205,000 “to remediate and abate.” The town plans to seek redevelopment opportunities that feature mixed-use, transit-oriented development. It is one of four sites constituting 11 total acres statewide targeted for remediation and redevelopment. • A 30-acre site at 44 and 46a Swamp

Road in Easton will get a $150,000 grant for investigation of potential contaminants. It, along with seven other sites totaling 451 acres, are targets for future development. The projects also include efforts in Meriden, Middletown, Vernon, Ansonia, Hartford, New Britain, Preston, Torrington and Waterbury. “Remediating and redeveloping these sites helps jump-start local economies by rehabilitating areas, putting them back into use for development, and creating jobs for residents,” Gov. Dannell Malloy said in a statement accompanying the news. Funding is through the Connecticut Remedial Action and Redevelopment Municipal Grant Program, which provides money to support remediation, abatement and demolition activities prior to redevelopment and to conduct environmental site assessments. — Bill Fallon

with horse-racing memorabilia, “I did not like the corporate politics. “I always knew I had an affinity for marketing and for economics,” he said. His reading interests gravitated toward successthemed business titles that begin, “How to ... .” “I read every book I could get my hands on,” he said. Darrin, the husband on the TV show “Bewitched” who worked in an ad agency, proved an offbeat influence. A college professor mentioned the TV show, noting the advertising angle. “Darrin was my introduction to ad agencies,” he said. “Before Darrin, I never really thought about them.” Barbara said, “When I was starting out, it was: be a teacher.” In fact, she had already opted for something bolder — pre-med studies at Rutgers — when a friend convinced her to go with her inherent creative side. “So, after a chance meeting in a pub at Rutgers, I said, ‘What the heck,’ and switched to advertising and marketing.” Ronald said the basics of advertising and marketing remain the same across Vertex’s three-plus decades. “Write a good headline. Make an offer. Use second-grade language. Don’t be a Ph.D. The delivery methods differ, but the pillars remain the same.” “Be conversational,” Barbara said. “One problem today is that egos are getting in the way and those who create want credit. They don’t know marketing.” “Because of the Internet, too many are practicing the craft who have no experience,” Ronald said. “The result is plumbers and the lawyers hire these people and then get a poor product. They get no results and they say marketing is a waste.” In tandem, the Occhinos said Vertex emphasizes its homework, focused on a client’s “unique selling proposition.” It is, they said, “imperative” to determine a USP before launching a marketing campaign. “What’s important is to choose a USP that

distinguishes you from your competitors,” Ronald said. “It is more important to focus on one segment and not try to be all things to all people.” The Phone Card, their first project, fit that bill. “There was nothing like it,” Ronald said. “It was heavy on sweat equity.” In 1982, they charged $42 per listing, $52 for the listing in bold. “We offered noncompetitive listings; that was the deal,” Ronald said. “Only one

accountant, etc.” The Phone Card relied on sponsors for distribution of the bundled product. The Occhinos later added a public relations angle: a $25 drawing for sponsors who wrote a testimonial praising the card’s results. Barbara said for specific challenges, the ad company subcontracts work. From the “what’s old is new” file, Ron said direct mail has returned. He writes all the direct mail copy. “It’s back,” he said.

“With all the electronic communications, now the mailbox is empty, presenting the opportunity for effective communication.” “Every detail is accounted for,” Barbara said of direct mail. “The envelope, its size, how it’s folded, what words go on it.” Commenting on the state of advertising, Ronald said, “Too many companies want to see their own names before they engage the customer.” He told of examining the websites of one particular sales-driven industry. “I saw names, names and more names. I did not see what was in it for me.” The comment buttressed an hourlong conversation that repeatedly touched upon the company’s “basics” approach: to marketing, to civility and to results. “If you’re in the advertising business, what you see, for lack of a better word, is arrogance,” Barbara said. “We’ll take a small project, take pride in it, and the next thing doors open.” “We return phone calls,” Ronald said. “Pick up the phone. In 30 seconds you can accomplish what you need multiple emails to accomplish and with the emails the message is often mixed up.” Barbara — who came from a family of Cuban entrepreneurs and who speaks Spanish to the degree she is familiar with the 10 dialects of Puerto Rico – pointed out the couple does not share the same office. Hers is several doors away. He owns two thoroughbreds (dozens across the years and all responsibly retired); she sings jazz and American standards (and has a website: Barbarasings.com). Their daughters, Christine and Lisa Occhino, are entrepreneurs. Lisa is a music editor and principal of SongwriterLink.com (“the new, more efficient way to collaborate”). Christine runs The Pop Music Academy in Stamford (“the new, trendy performing-arts school in Stamford”). Vertex is interested in launching new business ventures and offers a 30-question form on its website — Vertexmarketing.com — for those who might be interested.

Steelpointe Harbor marks completion of $11M project

dvances at Steelpointe Harbor — the 2 million-square-foot, mixeduse development in Bridgeport — attracted a trio of elected officials recently to note the completion of work funded by an $11 million federal grant. The money went to improve roads and to clean a 30-acre brownfield at the formerly dilapidated 82-acre peninsula. Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch, U.S. Sen.

Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Jim Himes announced the completion of the TIGER Grant-funded infrastructure work at Steelpointe Harbor. (TIGER stands for Transportation Investment Generation Economic Recovery.) In a press release, the city of Bridgeport said the TIGER-funded work “was instrumental for the construction and modernization of roadways around the Steel Point Peninsula to turn around

an underutilized brownfield site after 30 years of delay and setbacks.” Steelpointe is being developed in phases. The $50-million first phase — including Bass Pro Shops, Starbucks, Chipotle and T-Mobile stores — is underway and will be completed this year. Construction on the Cinépolis movie theater and other components of the second phase will begin in 2016 with an anticipated finish in 2017.

Once complete, Steelpointe Harbor is expected to feature 750,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment; a 12-screen movie theater; two hotels; 1,100 mid- and high-rise residential units; 30,000 square feet of office space; and a 200-slip, deep-water marina. The city terms Steelpointe a “superregional waterfront destination” in a catchment area of 7 million consumers. — Bill Fallon

Anti-discrimination rules for contractors expanded

ffective Oct. 1, the applicability of the state’s nondiscrimination, affirmative action and supplier diversity program formerly the set aside program statutes will be extended to municipalities and quasi-public agencies pursuant to recent legislation. The state’s nondiscrimination, affirmative action and supplier diversity program laws were enacted to help small contractors, minority business enterprises, nonprofit organizations and individuals with disabilities be considered for and awarded state contracts for goods and services. These provisions will now apply to municipal public works contracts and contracts for quasi-public agency projects in addition to the state and state agency contracts previously covered. Municipal public works contracts are the portions of contracts in excess of $50,000 for the construction, rehabilitation, conversion, extension, demolition or repair of public buildings, highways or other changes or improvements in real property, financed in whole or in part by the state, including state matching expenditures, grants, loans, insurance or guarantees.

Contracts for quasi-public agency projects are contracts for the construction, rehabilitation, conversion, extension, demolition or repair of a building or other changes or improvements in real property, financed in whole or in part by a quasi-public agency using state funds, including state matching expenditures, grants, loans, insurance or guarantees. Contractors awarded municipal public works contracts and contracts for quasi-public agency projects must include language in their contracts stating they will not discriminate on the basis of any protected class under Connecticut law and will comply with certain affirmative action requirements of Connecticut law. Additionally, such contractors must set aside at least 25 percent of the total value of the state’s financial assistance for such contract for award to small contractors, and 25 percent of the portion set aside for small businesses shall be set aside for awards to subcontractors that are minority business enterprises. In connection with such contracts, municipalities and quasi-public agencies are now required to, among other requirements: • State in requests for proposals and

solicitations for bids that the contractor shall be required to comply with the nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of C.G.S. Sections 4a-60 and 4a-60a. • Include the state’s antidiscrimination and affirmative action language in contracts and require contractors to state they are “affirmative action-equal opportunity employers.” • Require contractors to state that they comply with other antidiscrimination and affirmative action provisions and agree to include the required antidiscrimination and affirmative action language in their subcontracts. • Require contractors to agree and warrant to make good faith efforts to employ minority business enterprises as subcontractors and suppliers. • Refrain from entering into contracts with contractors who have failed to comply with the requirements of the antidiscrimination, affirmative action and supplier diversity laws of the state. In addition, contractors with 50 or more employees awarded municipal public works or quasi-public agency project contracts in excess of $50,000 in any fiscal year must

now develop and file an affirmative action plan with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Municipalities and quasi-public agencies shall be responsible for withholding 2 percent of the total contract price per month from any payment made to a contractor who has failed to develop an affirmative action plan and receive approval from the commission. The Department of Administrative Services administers the supplier diversity program certifying small businesses and minority enterprises. Municipalities and quasi-public agencies can access the department’s resources, including its database of currently certified vendors under the supplier diversity program.

ABLE accounts: Now is the time to plan for 2016

ast year, recognizing the often significant additional costs accrued by people who either live with disabilities or have loved ones who do, President Barack Obama signed into law the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act. Beginning Jan. 1, the ABLE Act allowed each state to establish tax-free savings accounts to help individuals with disabilities. Now is the right time for people who have created ABLE accounts to begin preparing for the 2016 tax season. As millions who live with disabilities depend on a wide variety of public benefits, eligibility for these public benefits requires a resource test that limits eligibility for individuals who have more than $2,000 in cash savings, retirement funds and other items of significant value. To remain eligible for these benefits, individuals must remain financially limited. This is where the ABLE Act helps. The ABLE Act was implemented to ease financial strains by making tax-free savings accounts available to cover qualified expenses related to the individual’s disability, such as health, education, housing, transportation, employment training, assistive technology, personal support and related services and expenses.

The account created through the ABLE Act would supplement, but not supplant, benefits provided through private insurance, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, the beneficiary’s employment and other sources. It provides individuals with disabilities the same types of flexible savings tools that other Americans have through college savings accounts, health savings accounts and individual retirement accounts. For those who have not yet established an ABLE account, yet who qualify, this is also the time to get started toward receiving the benefits the act provides. For those who already have accounts, it is important to realize that contributions into an ABLE account can be made by anyone and are not tax-deductible. Distributions to an eligible individual for qualified expenses, including portions attributable to investment earnings generated by the account, are not taxable. However, distributions used for nonqualified expenses would be subject to income tax on the portion of such distributions attributable to earnings from the account, plus a 10 percent penalty on such portion. This makes planning ahead a wise move. Each disabled person is limited to one

ABLE account, and the total annual contributions by all individuals to any one ABLE account could be made up to the gift tax exclusion amount for a particular year ($14,000 for 2015). Aggregate contributions are subject to the state limit for educationrelated Section 529 accounts. ABLE accounts can generally be rolled over only into another ABLE account for the same individual or into an ABLE account for a sibling who is also an eligible individual. Eligible individuals must be blind or severely disabled, and must have become so before turning age 26, based on marked and severe functional limitation or receipt of benefits under the SSI or Social Security Disability Insurance. An individual does not need to receive benefits through those programs to open or maintain an ABLE account, nor does the ownership of an account confer eligibility for those programs. Individuals with ABLE accounts could maintain eligibility for benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicaid. The bill exempts the first $100,000 in ABLE account balances from being counted toward SSI’s $2,000 individual limit. However, account distributions for housing expenses would

be counted as income for SSI purposes. Assuming an individual has no other assets, if the balance in the individual’s ABLE account exceeds $102,000, the individual would be suspended, but not terminated, from eligibility for SSI, but remain eligible for Medicaid. Prior to the ABLE Act, the most common means of providing for expenses of a disabled person was a special needs trust. Those are normally more complex, requiring a formal trust agreement and an annual tax return filing, and the earnings within the trust are considered taxable. There are still significant benefits to these trusts, though the ABLE Act provides another viable mechanism of support. Those who qualify for ABLE accounts but have not yet accessed them should consider doing so now. Those who have them should consider the benefits and be mindful for tax planning. Scott J.

The Show Must Go On – A Vision for the 21st Century The Barnum Museum was established in 1893 by P.T. Barnum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On June 24, 2010, the building was struck by an EF1 tornado that significantly damaged it as well as thousands of irreplaceable artifacts. While the museum has become a model for disaster recovery; it must now become a living, breathing symbol of rejuvenation and renewal in the face of adversity. Despite disaster-related setbacks, the museum is forging ahead with plans for the future. Working with BRC Imagination Arts (the award-winning, world-renowned exhibit designers) the museum is creating new and vibrant exhibits that offer learning through exploration, imagination and innovation, stimulating the power of creativity and sparking intellectual curiosity. BRC was selected to work with the Barnum Museum based on its staff ’s years of experience as extraordinary storytellers and technical wizards (designing globally acclaimed sites including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library.) Barnum’s great stories will be presented by seamlessly combining rigorous and uncompromising scholarship and storytelling with traditional museum design, artifact display and award-winning state-of-the-art media, theater, technology and immersive environments. The Barnum Museum of tomorrow will be a new kind of place designed for a new kind of audience. It will give 21stcentury guests the experience they require – emotional, immersive, cinematic and story-driven. Visitors will emerge with a greater attraction to, and fascination with, the life of P.T. Barnum. The re-imagined Barnum Museum will transform and expand perceptions of Barnum from showman to a remarkable thinker, entrepreneur, philanthropist, force for good and timeless role model for the power and strength of the indomitable human spirit. In Barnum’s words: “The one end aimed at was to make men and women think and talk and wonder and, as a practical result, go to the museum. This was my constant study and occupation.” These are words we aspire to everyday as we re-envision and re-imagine the museum. The disaster recovery has been a long journey but every day is a step forward, and the thing I know for sure — the show will go on!

Arts & Culture of Fairfield County

Works of Pioneering Graphic Designer at The Glass House Now through Sept. 28, The Philip Johnson Glass House presents the first survey to explore the relationship between the early paintings and pioneering design projects of Elaine Lustig Cohen. Based in New York, Lustig Cohen has been highly regarded as a graphic designer, artist and rare book dealer throughout her career, which spans more than 50 years. On view in the Painting Gallery, the exhibition includes a selection of her paintings from the 1960s and 1970s as well as examples of her multiyear collaboration with architect Philip Johnson, among other projects. In 1955, Lustig Cohen began a graphic design practice that integrated the aesthetics of European modernism within a distinctly American visual idiom for her diverse clientele of publishers, corporations, cultural institutions and architects. Her first client was Johnson, who commissioned her to work on the lettering and signage for the Seagram Building. The two forged an important bond that resulted in a variety of projects for the Glass House, Yale University, Lincoln Center, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute and the Sheldon Museum of Art, among others, as well as commissions from Johnson’s clients, including John de Menil and the Schlumberger oil company. Work by Lustig Cohen is held in numerous public and private collections and she is the recipient of the 2011 AIGA Medal for her life’s work in design. For

The Sweet Remains: Free Outdoor Concert “It’s been a long time since three-part harmonies this lush were yoked to songs this melodically gorgeous,” said the Boston Herald. “Pick-of-the-week,” said USA Today. The Sweet Remains is an unusual band on today’s music scene, headed by three gifted and charismatic singer-songwriters, each of whom contributes to the writing and three-part harmonies that define the band’s sound. They are performing Friday night, July 31, at the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Westport. Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne and John Mayer. However, it is their lush harmonies that distinguish the group from throngs of guitar-toting troubadours and recall super groups of the 1960s and ’70s like CSN, the Eagles and Simon & Garfunkel. The lawn opens to the public one hour before show-time. Facility is closed to public during load in and sound check. An on-site concession will be open for all shows. Picnics are welcome. For free shows, our standard rain location is

the Saugatuck Auditorium, at 170 Riverside Ave., Westport. Check the website or call the concert hotline 203-221-2153 at or after 4 p.m. the day of the show for location status. The Levitt Pavilion and its perimeter is a non smoking area. Pets are not allowed, with the exception of service animals with proof of registration.

SPECIAL REPORT

MID-YEAR REVIEW: HOSPITALITY

Val’s son carries on liquor legacy

GREENWICH STORE OWNER SAYS WINE KNOWLEDGE SETS STAFF APART BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

he late Val Fiorita opened Val’s Putnam Wines & Liquors in 1957 because he thought the alcohol business could withstand any economy. His son, Jeb Fiorita, now runs the store, which he has adapted to survive challenges like the recession and competitors. Fiorita worked in finance abroad before returning to the U.S. to help with the Greenwich liquor store when his father got sick in 2004. He worked alongside his dad, eventually taking over as owner.

Large liquor stores attract the masses who think they are getting a better deal.

“It opened the door to me thinking we could really grow this business and be an integral part of the community,” he said. Fiorita said he brought in a bigger variety of wines and started doing deliveries, classes and corporate and home events. The store is stocked floor to ceiling with about 5,000 wines, some liquors and

a small section of craft beer, which is becoming more popular especially among younger customers, Fiorita said. An update in state law a few years ago made it possible for breweries to be profitable in Connecticut, which has led to more beer produced in the state, he said. Another update to the law increased the number of alcohol permits someone can own from three to four. It will increase to five in July 2016. Fiorita said he is worried that a bigbox store like Costco, Trader Joe’s or Total Wine & More could come to town and hurt his business, or that of the other 23 wine stores in Greenwich. “It’s going to flatten out all the small businesses,” he said. Fiorita said large liquor stores attract the masses who think they are getting a better deal than they would at an independently owned store, when the prices are usually comparable. He said he has tried to insulate himself by offering fine wines from around the world, including collector wines, like a rare $700 bottle of Opus One from California. He said he and the staff of 10 are in contact with the CEOs of vineyards and understand the wines unlike large stores. His staff members get to know the customers and suggest wines they would like. Despite the potential large competitors, Fiorita said he is considering opening a second location in Greenwich or a surrounding town. “It has to be the right opportunity,” he said. “I’m a little cautious.”

Jeb Fiorita takes a $700 bottle of Opus One from the cabinet of collector wines at Val’s Putnam Wines & Liquors.

THE GIOIA REPORT

‘Stubborn’ Economic Recovery Continues

New Study: Connecticut Fourth Worst for Fiscal Health by Pete Gioia

n a study just released by George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, Connecticut ranked 47th out of 50 states in fiscal health. To clarify: We’re worse than New York and Rhode Island and far behind states such as Florida (#5) and Missouri (#14) that have recently poached Connecticut jobs. Only Massachusetts, New Jersey, and fiscal basket case Illinois trail the Nutmeg State. The study ranked states for cash and budget solvency as well as long-run fiscal condition, ability to pay for services, and trust fund solvency.

even years ago this month, with the country four months into a brutal recession, Connecticut’s unemployment rate—which eventually hit 9.2%— stood at 5.7%. As of June, according to the Department of Labor’s monthly jobs report, the state’s rate is now back at 5.7%, five-plus years after the recession ended in February 2010, as this long, slow economic recovery continues. CBIA economist Pete Gioia said while unemployment is now the lowest since July 2008, that’s still more than a percentage point higher than neighboring Massachusetts. The U.S. unemployment rate is 5.3%. “Still higher than most of the other New England states,” said Gioia, “and shows just how stubborn our economic recovery is more than five years after the end of the recession.’ Of the New England states, only Rhode Island (5.9%) has a higher unemployment rate than Connecticut. Vermont’s 3.6% unemployment is the lowest in the region. The labor department reported that while Connecticut’s unemployment rate dropped three-tenths of a point in June, the state added just 600 jobs. The department also revised May’s originally reported 6,400-job gain down to 5,900. That means Connecticut’s recovered just 82% of all jobs lost in the recession. Massachusetts, however,

Poor fiscal conditions place a burden on future taxpayers and create uncertainty that could impact business planning decisions.

is at 150%, while the U.S. has recovered more than 130% of lost jobs. Over the 64 months of the recovery, the state’s averaged 1,530 new jobs per month. At this rate of growth, Connecticut won’t recover all 119,000 jobs lost in the recession until September 2016. Four of the state’s 10 major industry sectors posted employment gains in June. Construction and mining showed the greatest increase, adding 2,300 positions. Finance, manufacturing, and professional and business services each added 700 new jobs for the month. The information sector was unchanged. Government posted the largest losses of any sector, shedding 2,000 jobs, with the labor department saying the timing of school closings likely responsible for much of that shift.
