‘Great day for Norwalk’

OFFICIALS HERALD START OF WASHINGTON VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ith the redevelopment of Washington Village underway, as symbolized by a ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony on Nov. 28, Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling said the city

is well on its way to realizing revitalization plans that have been in the works for nearly a decade. “This,” he said after the ceremony, “is a great day for Norwalk.” Phase one of the Washington Village plan involves the construction of 80 mixedincome rental residences: 40 replacement public housing units, 18 affordable tax cred-

it units and 22 market-rate units on two vacant parcels of land at 13 and 20 Day St. in South Norwalk. Part of a three-phase redevelopment effort to revitalize South Norwalk, upon completion the present 136-unit Washington Village public housing project will be replaced by a 273-apartment complex, 50 percent of which will be reserved for public housing. “Washington Village is the oldest housing complex in the state of Connecticut,” Rilling said of the site, which has been occupied since 1941. “It’s tired. Its infrastructure is in need of significant repair, it floods and the residents there don’t have the quality of life to which they’re entitled.” Phase one of the housing development is budgeted at nearly $45 million with a completion date of March 2018. Funding came from several sources and distributed by the Norwalk Housing Authority, including: » Norwalk, page 6

early two years of renovations have been completed at Lord & Taylor’s Stamford location just in time for the holidays. “Customers will experience a modernized, elevated and grander shopping experience,” said Eileen DiLeo, executive vice president of stores, Hudson's Bay Company Department Store Group, which includes Lord & Taylor, Saks, Neiman Marcus and namesake Hudson's Bay. “They will find a plethora of new brands — many of which are exclusive — and have more options than before in almost every category. Customers will also notice updated fixtures and a new logo on the exterior of the building.” “The Stamford location is one of Lord & Taylor’s earliest standalone branch stores — originally opened in 1969 — and an important location for our company,” DiLeo said just days before its grand reopening event on Dec.1. Though declining to say how much the work cost, she added: “We wanted to create a modern» Lord and Taylor, page 6

isters Jennifer Bebon and Mari Flicker never planned to start a business together. Each had a successful career — Bebon as a public relations specialist and Flicker as an attorney — but a change in their family’s year-end holiday celebrations put them together on an unexpected business path. “We come from a really big family in Fairfield,” said Bebon. “Mari and I are part of five children — three boys and two girls — and every single holiday had been at our parents’ house. But they are getting a little bit older, and a couple of years ago Mom said, ‘We are passing the holiday hosting responsibilities on to our five children.’ Naturally, the two of us wound up doing most of it. And we looked at each other and said, ‘My gosh, we have to up our holiday décor game. We are going to be hosting — that is a very big difference from just being here with your family for the meal and the celebration.’” The sisters wanted their holiday parties to be in a tasteful and stylish environment. But finding holiday decorations that matched their aesthetics proved to be difficult. “We went online and started researching ‘holiday décor,’ but we couldn’t find anything that was ready-made but upscale and beautiful,” Bebon said. “And we thought, ‘Wow, we’re on to something here.’” Running concurrent to this brainstorm was the sisters’ concept of moving beyond the typical holiday-themed retail offering for something a bit more contemporary. “We subscribe to a ready-made meal service and this is the age of the curated lifestyle,” said Bebon. “And we think the timing is right for something like this. Consumers really crave curated, convenient, easy ideas.” In October, Bebon and Flicker teamed with their friend Cheryl Engstrom, a Seattlebased publicist, to officially unveil Holiday in a Box Shop, an e-commerce operation that presents six curated collections of interior holiday décor delivered in a single box. The collections range from eight to 20 pieces linked to specific styles — the Modern White & Gold Collection, for example, works exclusively with those two colors — and themes — the Seaglass Beach Collection aims for an oceanic experience through sea-colored glass trees and driftwood-hued

votive candles. Prices on the collections range from $188 to $330. “We know when you buy holiday products like this, it is an investment,” said Flicker. “We don’t want them to be disposable. What is really nice about the collection is that you don’t have to display them all together. We wanted this to be attractive to people that have either larger spaces or smaller spaces.” Finding the right products to please the sisters was not a simple task. “What we did when we created our six thematic collections was to look at literally thousands and thousands of products,” said Bebon. “We touched them, looked at the coloring, looked at the width and the depth, and we found a signature statement product for each collection and the built the rest of the collection around them. Nearly all of our collection items are produced by a variety U.S.-based vendors, who manufacture overseas. ” The time constraints in locating and ordering their products created a beat-theclock game that barely ended in time for the holidays. “We started working on this in February, which was a little bit late,” said Flicker. “We should have started working on this in January. We ordered all of the products by August, but we didn’t get them until September and October.” Although Santa Claus is not part of the collections, figurines of the Yuletide visitor can be ordered separately through the new company’s website. However, symbols tied to the Nativity story are not being offered. “That was very intentional,” said

Bebon. “We wanted our collection to appeal to a wide audience. Many people celebrate the holidays because they love the spirit of the holidays, but they are not necessarily religious.” Bebon and Flicker took on Holiday in a Box Shop while maintaining their fulltime jobs — Bebon as president of MAX Communications PR LLC, the Fairfield company she launched in 1994. The sisters said friends volunteered their time to help create the various components of their e-commerce operation. The entrepreneurs were backed by an angel investor to start their venture. The investor did not want to be identified, but Bebon said the investment “is in the tens of thousands" of dollars. "Our investment capital was spent on acquiring our treasures, producing branded boxes, our fulfillment center, and a variety of other startup costs," she said. Bebon and Flicker are relying on social media marketing to promote their startup, and said they have already received orders from locations around the country. Looking to 2017, Holiday in a Box Shop plans to expand its holiday-linked décor presentations to additional celebrations including Easter, the Fourth of July, Halloween and Thanksgiving. While initially aimed at the consumer market, the new company is eager to tap the B2B world. “This would be a great corporate gift,” Flicker envisioned. “I could see a real estate company giving this to somebody who just bought a home.”

State job losses bring worries of possible skills gap BY PAUL SCHOTT Hearst Connecticut Media

onnecticut’s stagnating economic recovery has raised many questions about the state’s workforce. The shrinking employment rolls in recent months have led some experts to ask whether the state is producing enough qualified people for positions in growing industries. Others are skeptical a skills gap is significantly contributing to the lack of job growth. They say Connecticut is producing a qualified corps of workers and a continued commitment to education will yield economic gains. “In a state like Connecticut, to the extent that you develop your state as an educationfirst state and at all levels invest in education

to make the citizens of your state smarter, they’ll assimilate into areas of need really with the least resistance,” said Joe Carbone, president and CEO of The Workplace, a Bridgeport-based workforce development firm. “That is a good way to respond to what is often referred to as a skills shortage.”

LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT SKILLS

Connecticut lost 7,200 jobs last month, according to state Department of Labor statistics. The drop-off marked the fourth straight month of shrinking employment rolls in the state. Compounding the decline, September’s originally released job decrease of 5,200 was revised down to a loss of 6,600. Despite the sharp decline, Connecticut’s unemployment rate fell in the past month from 5.4 percent to 5.1 percent, three-tenths of a point lower than the rate a year ago. But

the falling jobless rate might be partly attributable to more people leaving the workforce. Pete Gioia, economist for the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, sees the lack of job creation as partly attributable to many openings in industries going unfilled. “This is a core problem,” Gioia said. “We have thousands of people looking for jobs and thousands of job openings, and we can’t get it to match.” Several industries — including architecture and engineering, management, office and administrative support, business and financial operations, and health care support — keep more than 30 percent of their Connecticut-based job postings open for more than 60 days on the job site Indeed. The length of those opening s could indicate employers are struggling to find the right talent, said Daniel Culbertson, an economist with Indeed. “Some are for higher-skilled roles, such as architecture and engineering, as well as management positions, but it’s interesting to see a number are for lower-skilled positions in food preparation, production and office administration,” Culbertson said. “That would indicate that Connecticut is facing some tightness in various sectors of its labor market.” But a number of talent-recruitment executives said they are not seeing a glaring skills gap. “I don’t hear a lot of clients of ours saying we’ve got all these positions open and we can’t find people to fill them,” said David Lewis, founder and CEO of Operations Inc., a Norwalk-based human resources outsourcing and consulting firm. “That is not something that businesses that we’re working with are knowledgeable about. The only exception is in the manufacturing section.” Compared with a number of other indus» » Job Skills, page 6

Town Hall seeks new life as Newtown cultural center BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ewtown’s venerable Edmond Town Hall, long a hub of activity from its nearly eight decades as the seat of town government to hosting second-run movies, birthday parties and athletes in its theater, gym and ornate rooms, is reinventing itself once more as a cultural destination to maintain its cachet as the “center” of a town that has no central business district. “There is a ton of potential for us,” said Sheila Torres, operations manager at Edmond Town Hall, a qauisi-public organization managed by a six-member board, “and we’re determined to keep moving forward. This has been such an important building for so many years, and not just to Newtown residents. I hear from people in neighboring towns like Brookfield and Trumbull all the time, saying they wish their towns had something like this.” Built in 1930 with funds provided by the town’s renowned patron, Mary Hawley, and named for her maternal great-grandfather William Edmond, the site at 45 Main St. was home to Newtown’s government until 2009, when it moved to new facilities at Fairfield Hills, once the campus of Fairfield Hills Hospital, a psychiatric facility that closed in 1995. Torres said the challenge for Edmond Town Hall is to modernize while retaining its historical value to the area. She noted that earlier this year its original pair of 1929 Bigelow two-pass steamship boilers were replaced by a modern boiler, at a cost of nearly $400,000, provided under Newtown’s capital improvement plan. Meanwhile, said Margot Hall, chairman of the site’s board of managers, “We’re constantly doing renovations due to the age of the building. Large-scale improvements to attract business and visitors and all that good stuff is fine, but whenever repairs are needed, that comes first.” While the building’s management continues to rent its 5,000-square- foot basement gymnasium and 1,500-square-foot upstairs Alexandria Room — patterned after the like-named room in New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art — for parties, fundraisers and other functions, it’s also making a more concerted effort at expanding its program to become a cultural resource for the area. Such activities are centered on the 500seat movie theater, which usually shows films shortly before their home video release and also screens classics like “Rear Window” and “The African Queen” one

Sunday each month. Ticket prices recently increased from the 1996-vintage rate of $2 per person to $3, “which isn’t bad for 20 years,” Torres said. The theater also includes a large stage that in the past has accommodated local productions of “Les Misérables” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie” as well as performances by classical quartets, jazz combos and rock ensembles like The Autumn Defense, featuring members of altrock favorites Wilco and folk rockers Hiss Golden Messenger. Dressing rooms, dance floors, a health club and onsite kitchen are also available. Tenants at the building include the Lathrop School of Dance, the Newtown Chamber of Commerce and the Visiting Nurse Association, while the Newtown Bridge Club, whose members are drawn from around the county, meets there four times a week. Continuing its holiday events this month, Edmond Town Hall on Dec. 12 will host a concert, “Echoes of Sinatra,” which traces the crooner’s life story through live performances of his signature material, with proceeds to benefit the site’s restoration fund. The 1954 film musical classic “White Christmas” will be screened there Dec. 18. Edmond Town Hall is a publicly owned building operated by its board of managers. But since Newtown government moved to Fairfield Hills, “They’ve been slowly weaning us off,” Torres said. The town had been paying $150,000 annual rent to the board of managers, revenue that has been sorely missed. Still, Torres said she’s confident that local residents’ fondness for the facility ultimately will win the day. “Now it’s time for us to do it on our own, and I’m confident that we will,” she said. “This is such a beloved place, and if we can do it right — make it attractive to others while keeping the nostalgia factor — there’s no reason we can’t keep going on.”

The citizens of the United States went to the polls on November 8th to cast their ballot for our next Commander-in-Chief and were faced with a very difficult decision. Both candidates were polarizing, and many voters were asking themselves who BRIAN CRISCIO is the lesser of two evils? Now that we know who will be running our great country for the next four years, let’s take a look at what President-elect Trump proposes regarding the economy and taxes: BUILD THE WALL - Trump proposes to remove millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. and to construct a wall across the entire U.S./Mexican border on Mexico’s dime. In addition, Trump wants to re-negotiate trade agreements, specifically with Mexico and China. Trump claims he will add 25 million jobs to the market over the next 10 years by negotiating fair trade deals that will lead to more jobs on U.S. soil, narrow our trade deficit, increase domestic production, and by enacting a massive tax reduction and simplification. Moody’s Analytics issued an analysis of the macroeconomic consequences of Trump’s economic policies. The analysis presented three scenarios: 1 – Trump’s proposals at face value, 2 – Trump’s policies fully adopted but on a smaller scale, and 3 – Trump negotiates with Congress resulting in his policies being scaled back and adjusted. Under each scenario, Moody’s predicts our country will be in a worse position at the end of Trump’s term than we are now in terms of employment, GDP, and the deficit. Why? Undocumented immigrants currently account for over 5% of the labor force, so the labor force will tighten and labor costs will rise as employers attempt to fill positions currently occupied by undocumented immigrants, since many of these jobs are in landscaping, construction, and agriculture, jobs that many native-born Americans may not be willing to do. Trump’s proposal to increase tariffs on Mexico and China would most likely be met with in-kind tariff increases that would have a significant negative impact on U.S. exports. Mexico and China account for approximately one-fourth of total U.S. goods exports. REDUCE TAXES TO INCREASE SPENDING From a tax policy standpoint, Trump wants to implement massive tax reductions. While that sounds great, there needs to be an offset for the reduction in tax revenues to avoid adding to the national debt. Some of the tax reductions Trump proposed are: • Reduction of the corporate income tax rate from the highest current rate of 35% down to 15%; • Reduction of the individual income tax rate from highest rate of 39.6% to 33%; • Repeal of the Estate & Gift Tax; • Repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax; and • Repeal of the Net Investment Income Tax through repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The Moody’s analysis estimates the cost of Trump’s tax proposals to be $9.5 trillion over the next decade. Trump has been unclear as to how the tax cuts will be paid for, other than saying he will eliminate waste in government. Another practical way to offset tax reductions

is by broadening the tax base (in other words, increase taxable income). The Tax Foundation issued a fiscal fact analysis on options for broadening the U.S. tax base last November. They say broadening the tax base would simplify the tax code, remove unfair preferences, and create economic growth. They mention three options for broadening the tax base: end the exclusion of employer-sponsored health insurance, remove the cap on Social Security payroll tax, and cap itemized deductions. They claim together all three options would raise enough revenue on a static basis to lower the corporate tax rate to 20%, the ordinary income rate to 29.5%, and the top capital gains rate and dividends to 13%. The Moody’s analysis claims of the three scenarios mentioned above, the most likely scenario would be the third one and that it would cost a little more than $1 trillion dollars over the next decade. Further tax changes Trump has proposed include taxing carried interest at ordinary income rates, which would offset some of the costs of these tax rate reductions. The Congressional Budget Office estimates taxing the carried-interest at ordinary rates (presumably 39.6%) would net $18 billion over 10 years. Another potential area of savings would be the Earned Income Credit. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration estimates $15.6 billion of Earned Income Credits was erroneously paid out in fiscal year 2015 and has historically resulted in $13 - $15 billion in erroneous payments annually. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT - Trump was very vocal about repealing the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Affordable Care Act will cost the federal government $1.34 trillion over the next decade. Trump’s proposal for healthcare will be based on “free market principles.” Here is what we know so far about Trump’s plan for healthcare: • Repeal of the Affordable Care Act (including the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax) • Keep Pre-Existing Conditions • Continue to allow children to be covered under their parent’s health insurance plans until they turn 26 years old • Reduce barriers to interstate sale of health insurance • Institute a full tax deduction for insurance premium payment for individuals • Make Health Savings Accounts inheritable • Require price transparency • Block-grant Medicaid to the states • Allow for more overseas drug providers What impact this will have on uninsured individuals remains to be seen. Every incoming President is faced with profound issues to deal with. President-elect Trump’s acceptance speech was encouraging. He took a much softer approach uncharacteristic of the persona he has come to be known by. We can only hope as a nation he will surround himself with the best people and be true to what he said by working with both sides to “Make America Great Again”.

During phase one, which was completed late last year, full renovations were completed on both the lower and upper levels, which received upgrades to flooring and lighting and now include fitting — room call buttons connected to headsets worn by staff, in an effort to improve the speed and efficiency of service. The just-completed second phase focused on the store’s main floor.

New cosmetic brands include Flawless by Friday, Fillerina, Brow Gal and BlowPro, while the massive ladies’ shoes department will now total in excess of 45,000 pairs of shoes, including new brands Kendall + Kylie, H Halston and Fergie Footwear. The store also has a new beauty “play space” for customers to try different makeup and fragrances, as well as a Rebecca Minkoff pop-up shop. “We’ve also added personal shoppers — three in total, one of whom is focused solely on dresses,” DiLeo said. “She can assist the customer with finding the perfect dress for whatever the occasion, as well as the underpinnings, accessories and more to finish the look.” Phase two also saw the addition of a concierge service and a “refresh” of The Signature Café on the upper level. Some 350 people work at the Stamford store, which DiLeo said is the largest that the chain operates in the county. It also runs stores in Danbury and Trumbull. In addition, HBC runs The Saks Shops at Greenwich in that town, and a Saks Off 5th discount shop at 140 Atlantic St. in Stamford.

tries in the state, manufacturing has posted a competitive growth rate. It ranked third among all sectors last month with a 0.4 percent increase in jobs. If they do encounter shortages in key positions, companies should not expect government or the state’s higher education system to single-handedly fill the void, said a number of talent recruitment and professional-services executives. “The universities and colleges shouldn’t be expected to keep up with all the transformation occurring in every organization,” said Heather Ziegler, Stamford managing partner and deputy strategic risk leader for the professional-services firm Deloitte. “A piece of that will have to come from training internally in organizations.” A number of Connecticut companies are paying more attention to workforce development. Stamford-based Synchrony Financial announced last month it would invest $2.2 million in new cybersecurity initiatives at the University of Connecticut.

FOCUS ON EDUCATION

While acknowledging schools cannot unilaterally train future workers, business leaders and economic experts generally agree Connecticut’s workforce will develop the foundation of skills needed to excel in the contemporary economy through a comprehensive and rigorous education system. In Stamford, J.M. Wright Technical High School represents the increasingly advanced and comprehensive career training offered in local schools. At Wright Tech — which reopened in 2014 in Scalzi Park after an approximately $90 million renovation — students pick a trade in which they specialize. They start working in their trades while in school and graduate with professional credentials and a high school diploma. About 320 now attend the school. “We offer the most practical approach

well as the private sector,” Rilling said. “It’s really a pretty unique model and it’s the kind of partnership we need more of if we’re to do these kinds of things the right way. Everyone has been very pleased and very supportive of this project.” The mayor estimated that it would be “three or four years” before the project is fully completed. “The demolition and construction will be handled in a way that hopefully will be as minimally disruptive to community residents as is possible,” he said. As for another splashy Norwalk project, the 700,000-square-foot SoNo Collection, Rilling said he expects groundbreaking to take place in January and for the megamall to be completed by April 2019.

“We have thousands of people looking for jobs and thousands of job openings, and we can’t get it to match.”

to a high school diploma,” said Wright Tech Principal Eric Hilversum. “The skills that we teach are transferable to any career. Our students will leave here with significant professional experience, which very few students have at graduation.” The school’s trade programs include automotive technology, carpentry, culinary arts and sciences, digital media, electrical, facilities management, health technology, information systems technology, plumbing and heating and tourism and hospitality. “The trades prepare us a lot,” said junior Soranlly Ramirez, whose trade is tourism and hospitality. “We have a chance to go to college. And it helps a lot when you go out to look for a job.” At the University of Connecticut, officials said recent numbers show that UConn students are developing sought-after skills. Some 58 percent of 2016 UConn graduates found jobs within four months of earning a degree, according to data released in September by the university. Another 18 percent went into academic programs. The career fair UConn hosted last month on its main campus in Storrs attracted approximately 300 employers. That total exceeded the combined attendance of the five fairs that UConn held in 2011. “Employers have a need to hire and they’re looking to UConn where they can get extremely high-caliber talent,” said Jim Lowe, assistant vice provost and executive director of UConn’s Center for Career Development. “That’s why they’re coming here.” pschott@scni.com; 203-964-2236; Twitter: @paulschott

How Connecticut companies can take action

“Fraud attacks against businesses are on the rise. As new technologies proliferate, hackers are finding more sophisticated ways to target unsuspecting victims, potentially harming companies and their customers.” Eric Bauer, Market Executive Bank of America Merrill Lynch

Rising stakes

Education and upgrades

Fraud is a growing threat to both businesses and their customers. Payment fraud, one of today’s most prevalent schemes, involves attempts by outsiders to hack into business email systems. A successful attack can compromise wire transfer payments and expose sensitive account information.

Despite several recent high-profile fraud attacks, only 18% of companies view data security as a threat to earnings. But fraud losses can be devastating. Hackers can steal companies’ financial assets and intellectual property, along with sensitive customer data — eroding profits and trust.

Educating employees is the first line of defense. “Phishing,” “spoofing” and other fraud types are often preventable, if monitored properly. In addition, upgrading IT systems can reduce risk while boosting efficiency and visibility.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Building a success model If we’re thinking about the future, none of us is passionate about the industry we’re in. We’re seeing troubles and struggles with every aspect of our current business model. How do we decide where to go from here? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: It’s not just startups that need to come up with a fresh-start business plan. Work backwards, building your new plan around success factors. Make a plan to align your company, top to bottom — vision, strategy, goals and tactics. When businesses and the industries in which they operate run into major challenges, building a new business plan may be just what the doctor ordered. If you find yourself facing this situation, take a fresh look at how you plan to make money, who you plan to serve, how business will get transacted.

If you, as owner, have lost your focus, your enthusiasm and your ambition for your business, it’s time to make a change — and fast. Don’t let the company drift. The single biggest common denominator in the failure of privately held business is the loss of the owner’s drive and commitment to running a successful business. Take action now, while there’s still time to make needed changes. Make a list of success factors you’d like to work with in the future. • Customers — willing to pay for quality, align with the identify of your company, recognizing the importance of brand value • Marketplace — sizeable enough to allow you to successfully grow as you compete for a small share (under 20 percent), limited marketing costs needed to acquire clients, high actual or perceived switching costs once client relationships are established • Operations — some barriers to entry related to infrastructure, opportunity for efficiency improvements, ability to align with other players to magnify offer, efficient and

The more of these factors you can build into your plan, the greater the likelihood of success. Keep in mind that most entrepreneurs love to jump in and get going with activities. It’s the advance planning phase that will lead to long — term success. Do your homework. BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Looking for a good book?

As a business owner, seeing your enterprise thrive is the ultimate reward for years of hard work. What can be equally fulfilling is using your success to give back to the causes that are most important to you. And involving your family in your philanthropic vision can make it all the more meaningful. Just like the family business, family philanthropy can be hard work, yet immensely rewarding. When a family takes the time to identify goals and where and how to give, it can create a family legacy for generations to come. Communication is key. It’s important to remember that multigenerational philanthropy should not be the senior generation showing younger generations how to engage in philanthropy, or even giving by example. Rather, it’s about the family collaborating. Together, you need to determine the approach to giving that is right for your family now, and how that might evolve down the road. Where to begin. As philanthropist John D. Rockefeller advised, charitable giving should be treated like investing. A family needs to think about its portfolio

of assets and its portfolio of interests. Some assets may work best for family philanthropy, while others may be best for personal giving or better suited for family investment. But even as you consider assets to give, you need to decide collectively on your philanthropic interests. The savviest business owners also take advantage of estate planning and income tax minimization benefits while they fulfill philanthropic goals.

n today's world where so much online communication happens via social media, it's vital to understand how to use these platforms better than other businesses in your industry. So let’s get into the four ways to outperform your competition on social media. It comes down to executing the fundamentals. The first strategy is to post with regularity. My friend, if you want to differentiate yourself and prove that you're not just an abandoned Facebook page, you must post consistently. You can have the best business, yet because you haven't sent out a message in a week or month, people start thinking, “Did they go out of business? Why haven't posted anything on social media?” Consumers' heavy use of these platforms only reinforces this perception. As an example, Facebook’s search functionality is growing rapidly. They're in active competition with Google. It’s Mark Zuckerberg vs. Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google’s co-founders). That said, when someone searches for your business on Facebook and they come to a page that hasn't posted in three and a half weeks, they're going to think either you’re struggling mightily, doing this part time or are out of business. That’s the bottom line. Ideally, you have a neverending waterfall of compelling, engaging and value-driven posts. The second strategy to outperform your competition on social media is to get real fans. You need prospects, not just hollow accounts. Likes and followers build credibility and marketplace trust. For example, if you’re looking for a Realtor on Twitter, one account may have 100 followers while another has 1,000. Which one do you automatically trust more? Furthermore, you can monetize these communities once you have a base of potential customers. Obviously, you want people to believe in and buy from you. To accomplish this, you need to have a fan base that is large and growing. We all start from humble beginnings, but you can get periodically better as you move toward becoming the most liked, most followed person in your industry. What would it mean for your business to be able to say, "We are the most-followed Realtor on Twitter," or "We are the most-liked dentist on Facebook?” Even if you segment it by geography,

such as the most-liked chiropractor on the East Coast, that designation creates significant credibility. As you know, in business you need someone to know, like and trust you to get a sale. The third component is readily available to you. For your business' future survival, start growing your customer base online. The third way to make sure you outperform your competition on social media is to engage with the leads you’ve worked hard to acquire. These people want to know more about you. They have expressed an interest in what you do. Reply to and thus involve them. If you avoid doing this, would-be customers begin to think your social media profile is just a vacated Facebook page with scheduled posts. Are they going to stick around? Not very long. On the other hand, if you respond to your customers within 24 to 48 hours, you bring more positive attention to your business. Responsiveness can be the difference between two pages that each have 10,000 likes, but one engages its audience while the other does not. Finally, the fourth way for you to outperform your competition on social media is to measure what works. You can master what you measure. You should determine what picture, headline, blog content and messaging converts best with your audience. How can you measure that? Pay attention to your likes, comments, and shares. If someone shares your content, they trust you enough to expose your brand to their friends. Identify which piece of content received the most engagement and tailor all your other messages around that theme. That's how you win the game. To boost your business' online perception, having a regularly updated, growing and responsive social media profile is now just as important as owning a website. If you want to shine online and gain the trust of younger markets like millennials, you need to seriously #GetSocial.

Federal court in Texas blocks Obama-led plan to extend overtime

federal overtime regulation that would have made an estimated 4 million more American workers eligible for overtime pay was blocked in federal court Nov. 22, a blow to a labor effort pushed by President Barack Obama. The rule, set to take effect Dec. 1, would have required most salaried workers earning up to $47,476 a year receive time-anda-half pay when they work more than 40 hours a week, more than double the current overtime threshold of $23,660. A ruling by the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas granted a nationwide preliminary injunction against the rule. U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant III sided with a coalition of 21 states, led by Nevada, that said the new Department of Labor’s rules exceed the federal agency’s authority. When the new labor rule was

announced, Obama described it as “one of the single most important steps we can take to help grow middle-class wages.” Now it is unlikely the rule will take effect before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Trump criticized regulations from Obama often while on the campaign trail. In a statement, the Labor Department said the decision was “delaying a fair day’s pay for a long day’s work for millions of hardworking Americans.” The new rule received mixed reviews in Westchester and Fairfield counties when it was first announced in May. The overtime rules would have affected

982,000 workers in New York and 113,000 in Connecticut, according to estimates from the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington think tank. Both The Business Council of Westchester and Connecticut Business & Industry Association said at the time that the rule could end up hurting both employees and employers. “If employers keep getting these things placed on their back they will have to make some tough decisions,” John Ravitz told the Business Journal in May. Ravitz is the executive vice president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester.

That stance put the local business groups in line with national ones. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce was a vocal opponent of the overtime regulations, and released a statement applauding the decision. “If the overtime rule had taken effect, it would have resulted in significant new costs — more than $1 billion according to the Congressional Budget Office — and it would have caused many disruptions in how work gets done,” the chamber said. The Labor Department said it is considering all legal options. — Ryan Deffenbaugh

Praxair resumes merger talks

erger talks between industrial gases titans Praxair Inc., based in Danbury, and Linde AG, in Munich, Germany’s, are back on after being called off in September. When discussions ended in September, the merger would reportedly have been worth about $60 billion. Disagreements over who would run the merged company and where its headquarters would be located have been cited as key sticking points in the original talks. Linde’s Chief Financial Officer Georg Denoke exited the company shortly after those talks collapsed, with CEO Wolfgang Buechele announcing less than 30 minutes later that he would not extend his contract beyond April 2017. In October, Linde announced a restructuring to achieve annual cost savings of about 370 million Euros or $392 million, which would include layoffs around the world. Confirming that it had approached Linde, Praxair released a brief statement saying: “There can be no assurance that this will result in a transaction, or on what terms any transaction may occur.” Linde said its executive board would review Praxair’s “revised proposal,” most likely at its Dec. 7 meeting7. — Kevin Zimmerman

FAIRFIELD COUNTY HAD HIGHEST GAS PRICES IN STATE

There was good news and not-so-good news when it came to Thanksgiving week gas prices in Connecticut: the statewide average was falling, but Fairfield County was the most expensive part of the state when it came to filling the tank. According to data from AAA, the Nov. 23 statewide average gas price for regu-

lar was $2.29, down from $2.31 the week before but higher than the $2.25 average from Thanksgiving week last year. Among the four major metro areas within Connecticut, the Bridgeport-Stamford corridor recorded an average of $2.39, which was slightly higher than the averages in the Hartford metro market ($2.26), the New Haven-Meriden area ($2.25) and the New London-Norwich section ($2.28). Nonetheless, Connecticut’s gas pump prices were pricier when compared with the national average of $2.13 — but they seem like a bargain compared with the average prices which were reported in Hawaii ($2.87), California ($2.70), Washington ($2.63), Alaska ($2.61), Nevada ($2.47) and Oregon ($2.45).

TOYOTA TO BRING HYDROGEN FUEL CELL CARS TO CONNECTICUT

Connecticut is on track to become the second state where hydrogen fuel cell-powered automobiles will be available for sale. The Connecticut Post reported Toyota will begin selling in late 2017 its alt-fuel Mirai, which has a $58,000 retail price. However, there will also need to be an expansion in hydrogen fueling stations across the state — there is only one in Wallingford, although plans are underway to set up stations in Fairfield County and other parts of Connecticut in conjunction with the retail vehicle rollout. The Mirai won the 2016 World Green Car of the Year Award at this year’s New York International Auto Show and has been widely available throughout Japan and Europe. In the U.S., the Mirai has been sold exclusively in California since the summer of 2015, but as of the third quarter of this year Toyota has only sold 710 cars in this country.

Massachusetts-based solar energy company Solect Energy is expanding its business into the state as a licensed Connecticut solar provider. Leading the firm’s Nutmeg State charge is newly named Director of Business Development Kent McCord, whose resume includes director of sales and marketing at South Windsor-based Doosan Fuel Cell; McCord will be based in Granby. “Connecticut has among the highest electricity costs in the country and solar is a great way for building owners to reduce utility costs while making their own renewable energy. With a strong Renewable Energy Credit (REC) program and attractive financing available from the CT Green Bank, commercial rooftop solar systems are a smart investment in our state,” McCord said. Solar systems already installed in Connecticut can generate a total of 265 megawatts (MW) of electricity, ranking the state 17th in the country for installed solar capacity. The state is committed to a goal of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020 and is expected to see an additional 900 MW installed over the next five years.

MALLOY, WYMAN BLAST TRUMP'S CHOICE FOR HHS SECRETARY

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman have issued statements decrying the announcement that U.S. Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) has been selected by President-elect Donald Trump as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Malloy called the choice of Price “extremely troubling, to say the least,” saying that the Georgian “has been one of the staunchest adversaries since (the Affordable Care Act’s) passage.

“Rep. Price’s record demonstrates a clear intention to dismantle the very health care reform law that has benefitted hundreds of thousands of people in Connecticut and millions across the nation,” Malloy continued. “Further, his outspoken views against reproductive justice and his efforts to block federal funds to Planned Parenthood are of great concern and threaten to turn back the clock on decades of progress in women’s health care — especially access to preventive care and birth control currently guaranteed under the Affordable Care Act.” “Congressman Price has made his opposition to the Affordable Care Act clear,” said Wyman, who also chairs the board of directors of the state’s health insurance exchange, Access Health CT. “I stand with Democrats and Republicans from across the nation who supported the expansion of Medicaid coverage and the reform of Medicare, increased equity in health care outcomes and improved access to care." Wyman added that the ACA, or Obamacare, “has insured hundreds of thousands and reduced our uninsured rate to below 4 percent, among the lowest in the nation. We must continue the gains that have been made for millions of residents and our nation's economy.” Access Health enrolls more than 100,000 residents in private qualified health plans, while the state’s Medicaid program enrolls over 750,000, including 205,000 in expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. President-elect Trump had issued a statement on his selection in which he said, "(House Budget Committee) Chairman Price, a renowned physician, has earned a reputation for being a tireless problem solver and the go-to expert on health care policy, making him the ideal choice to serve in this capacity." Trump’s statement continued, "He is exceptionally qualified to shepherd our commitment to repeal and replace Obamacare and bring affordable and accessible health care to every American." Last week, Price said he expected any Republican plan to replace Obamacare would have a "significant resemblance" to a 2015 measure that was vetoed by the president. That bill would have removed some of the ACA’s main features, including Medicaid expansion, subsidies to help middle-class Americans buy private policies, tax penalties for individuals who refused to get coverage, and several taxes to support coverage expansion. It also would have delayed implementation for two years. After the election, Trump said, he expects to keep the law’s provisions that allow children up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ plan and that prevent insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions. — Phil Hall, Kevin Zimmerman

SPECIAL REPORT

YEAR END REVIEW: HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION

Boom in urgent care centers accompanied by concerns BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

ver the last few years, Connecticut has seen a noticeable increase in the number of urgent care medical centers operating here. In some locations, it is not uncommon to see two, three or more of the facilities opened within a short travel distance of each other. The Urgent Care Association of America estimates there are nearly 7,100 urgent care centers nationwide that provide full-service urgent care medical needs, including X-ray and lab work. The trade group’s estimate is based on its own membership numbers, as there are no state and federal registries for urgent care centers. Rather, licensing is required of the medical practitioners at the centers. The concept of urgent care centers, with their extended weekday hours and weekend openings, originated in the 1970s. But today’s culture helped cultivate their expansion, according to Thomas Kelly, president and co-owner of New Dimension Health Care Inc. in Simsbury, , which operates the AFC Urgent Care centers in Connecticut. “We are living in an era of time poverty,” Kelly said. “We don’t have the time to do everything that we want. We seek immediate gratification — think of Google or Siri — and we no longer have the mindset of waiting around for services.” Kelly said that another tradition that often seems to be evaporating — friendly customer service — has been crucial for this sector’s success. “We try to have Disneyland smiles,” he said of the AFC Urgent Center reception staff. “From my experience, having a person in a medical office sitting behind a sliding glass window that ignores you as you try to sign in is not fun. When you walk into an urgent care, you are face to face with a smiling person who makes you feel welcome. We try to make you feel like you are coming into our home.” Dr. Frank Scifo, medical director of the multispecialty practice group at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, said much of the popularity of urgent care centers can be traced to a generational shift away from a tradition of reliance on a family physician. “The young millennials and Generation X are not necessarily looking for a relationship with physicians,” he said. “This type of health care works well with them.”

And the real estate agent’s mantra of “location, location, location” also applies to the urgent care industry’s booming growth. “They are visible in locations where you go about your daily activities in the community, so you know where to find us if you’re injured or have an illness,” said Dr. Jeannie Kenkare, co-founder and chief medical officer of Brookfield-based PhysicianOne Urgent Care, which operates 12 centers in Connecticut. She credited their success to their ease of access. Indeed, urgent care centers have opened in popular retail locations. “We just turned an old Taco Bell into an urgent care in New Britain,” said Kelly. “It used to be that you could get a slice of pizza at any corner but health care was inaccessible.”

URGENT CARE’S CRITICS

But the growth in the urgent-care sector has not come without problems. Matthew Katz, CEO and executive vice president of the Connecticut State Medical Society, said the rising number of urgent care centers is mirrored by a diminishing health care environment within the state. “Look at our infrastructure,” he said of Connecticut. “Some communities lost physicians’ offices and hospitals. Are these centers popping up to replace or supplement health care services?” And while urgent care centers can offer

a mix of physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses, there is no guarantee that they can treat all problems that come before them, Katz noted. Adding to the confusion is the simultaneous proliferation of walk-in clinics that are not designed to treat urgent medical conditions but are perceived as being under the urgent care umbrella, he said. “If you are a patient going into an urgent care center, I would assume someone is there to treat your urgent needs,” said Katz. “There should be a clear definition of what is meant by ‘urgent care’ and what is meant by ‘walk-in.’ They (offices) can be both, yes, as long as it is clear to the patient walking in. If I walk into an urgent care, I’d want to know who the clinician is and whether they have a background in treating the condition I have.” “Not all urgent care centers are created the same,” said Kenkare at PhysicanOne Urgent Care. “There could be a down side if the patient expects a certain service at every urgent care center because they hear the words ‘urgent care.’” Unlike many primary care physicians that may choose not to accept new patients, especially those on Medicare and Medicaid, urgent care centers do not have a reputation for shunning anyone seeking treatment. “The majority of centers accept all patients, from those using private insurance to those leveraging Medicare and Medicaid,”

said Shaun Ginter, CEO of CareWell Urgent Care in Quincy, Massachusetts, and a director of the Urgent Care Association of America. “In fact, many insurance options feature lower patient co-pays for urgent care service than treatment in an emergency room. The average cost of an urgent care visit is 6 percent less than the average primary care visit and nearly one-tenth the average cost of a typical emergency room visit.” Ginter claimed that the medical profession recognized and appreciated the value of urgent care centers. “Hospitals and medical centers understand the importance of urgent care centers in the community,” he said. “Urgent care centers are essential to keep up with the daily health care needs of patients, serving as a vital link between the emergency room and the primary care physician in the continuum of care.” Katz disagreed with Ginter’s claim for urgent care centers. “We don’t see them as bad or good,” he said. “They are another point of access.” Those points of access will continue to increase in the state. “We plan to have another six to 10 coming next year,” said Kelly, whose AFC Urgent Care recently opened its third Danbury location. A new player in Connecticut’s urgent care market is Florida-based CliniSanitas, which runs more than 400 medical centers in South America. The company opened facilities in Bridgeport and Newington on Nov. 28 and plans to open a third center in Orange early next year. CliniSanitas is partnering with ConnectiCare on its new operations, which will feature bilingual staff. “Connecticut has a very large Hispanic market and that market has historically had very low access to health care,” said Dr. Juan Estrada, medical director at CliniSanitas in Miami. “Our organization has a long history in South America and we thought it would be a great opportunity to expand into the Connecticut market in partnership with ConnectiCare to serve this population.” Along with urgent care service, CliniSanitas also offers primary care treatment at their centers. Estrada said that will give patients an opportunity to deal with medical professionals familiar with their needs. “Regular urgent care adds to the fragmentation of health care, where the provider evaluates a patient without knowing anything about the patient and not doing a proper follow-up,” Estrada said.

Great River Golf Club ﬂourishing under SHU ownership BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

f Sacred Heart University’s Nov. 21 purchase of the former General Electric campus in Fairfield for $31.5 million goes as well as its purchase last year of Great River Golf Club in Milford, it will be sitting even prettier than it is now. “The proof is in the pudding,” SHU Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Michael Kinney said. “Great River is a tremendous asset and the improvements that have been made are envied by a number of other institutions.” SHU bought the 150-acre tract on which the 18-hole, 72-par course and its 32,000-square-foot clubhouse sit in October 2015 for $6 million. Kinney said the school’s

interest in the course was first piqued about four years ago, when then-owner Great River LLC — led by Fairfield’s United Properties — began making inquiries. “I wasn't sure,” he said. “I had only been up there once and they were asking more than double what we ultimately paid for it.” As time went on, the availability of such a large parcel — and a steadily dropping price tag — played into the Fairfield-based university’s interest in maintaining its strong athletics program; that Great River is roughly a 20-minute drive from SHU’s campus at 5151 Park Ave. made it all the more appealing. (The former GE campus, at 3135 Easton Turnpike, is less than a fiveminute drive.) “We’re also developing our hospitality program and possibly a golf — management

program, which Great River is perfect for,” Kinney said. There was of course work to be done. “The clubhouse was in about 80 percent good shape and the grounds were at about 85 percent” when SHU acquired Great River, Kinney said. Along with general facelifts, “We wanted to increase the playability of the course, to make it fair to all levels of players, from single- to double-figure handicaps,” said Great River’s Executive Director Mark Appelberg. As part of that effort, several tees were leveled, some traps and trees were eliminated, cart paths were added and/or resurfaced, and the routing of the original front and back nine holes by architect Tommy Fazio that was in place for Great River’s 2001 opening was restored.

The course now offers five sets of tees with playing lengths ranging from 7,060 yards for the accomplished player down to 4,997 yards for the casual golfer. Practice facilities, a golf academy and an indoor simulator are also on hand, as is a 3,000-square-foot golf pro shop. Great River is also becoming a popular wedding destination and the club function rooms frequently host corporate meetings, parties and other special events. “We’re trying to end up in a place that’s between being a golf club and a resort,” Appelberg said, “and Sacred Heart has been 100 percent behind us in the changes we wanted to make, both visible and invisible to the public.” Further improvements will take place in 2017, though Appelberg declined to say what those might involve. Likewise, Kinney declined to say how much money SHU has spent on the course. And the upgrades haven’t gone without notice by national magazines. Earlier this year the Milford course was ranked third in the state by Golfweek and Connecticut’s fourth-best by Golf Magazine. And Great River now is the home course for Sacred Heart’s NCAA Division I men’s and women’s golf programs; in July it hosted a regional U.S. Amateur Qualifier tournament. The ultimate goal, Appelberg said, is to host NCAA tournaments. “We’ve reached out to the appropriate NCAA figureheads, but their sites are picked pretty far in advance,” he said. “But we’re getting more in the mix and we’ve hosted events here for a number of area colleges, including Fairfield University, Yale, Siena and even (Rhode Island’s) Bryant University.” Membership at the semi-private club has also been growing. Kinney said membership was about 100 when SHU took over, and should hit 175 during 2017. “Our utopia, in a year or two, is 225,” he said. “We want to keep this as primarily a university facility, so we’re not looking to build membership into the hundreds.” Meanwhile, when asked if SHU’s Great River and GE deals mean it’s on something of a shopping spree, Kinney said: “The basket’s about full. Fortunately we were able to digest Great River pretty well — we’ll have a small operating loss next year, but it will be smaller than what we originally expected.” Kinney said he expects it to take Sacred Heart more than a year to absorb the GE campus purchase. In both cases, he said, “I can’t say we were necessarily smart, but we were fortunate. We’re pretty much out of land where we are and we have a classroom shortage. (These deals) will help with that.”

Shelton, E. Hartford radiology practices launch new venture

dvanced Radiology Consultants of Shelton and Jefferson Radiology of East Hartford have formed Charter Radiology Network, a corporate platform through which the two companies plan to improve patient service and quality of care while maintaining a sizable position in the state’s competitive medical imaging market. Charter Radiology Network’s initial efforts will focus on increasing quality and decreasing costs, which it said may include the integration of back-office management services, including traditional management services organization tasks, billing operations, and IT infrastructure consolidation and augmentation. The new company will also explore the development and implementation of technologies and processes to improve quality and access through standardized, evidencebased practices, enhanced integration and information sharing, and improved patient experience and empowerment. Jefferson Radiology's and Advanced Radiology Consultants' clinical practices will continue to remain independent entities. In addition to its Shelton headquarters, Advanced Radiology maintains offices in Fairfield, Stamford, Stratford and Trumbull.

Xerox agrees to $2.4 million settlement

erox Corp. is paying $2.4 million to settle Massachusetts state prosecutors’ allegations that the Norwalk company was violating federal law when it came to its student debtors. Xerox stood accused of taking an unusual amount of time to process student debtors’ applications to reduce their payments under a federal program; charging excessive fees; and overcharging activeduty service members, among other alleged violations. The company “regularly undermined the opportunity for students to access appropriate repayment plans,” the Bay State’s Attorney General, Maura Healey, said. “This conduct increases the already high cost of education, damages credit, and prevents students and their families from achieving long-term economic security.” As part of the settlement, about 800 borrowers will split some $400,000 as compensation for Xerox’s failure to process their applications to make lower monthly payments. Healey’s office said that the state hopes to offer a portion of the remaining $2 million to borrowers struggling with their student loan bills.

Xerox entered the student loan business in 2010 with the $6.4 billion acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services. The student loan unit and other business services units will be part of Conduent, its previously announced spinoff company, which is expected to begin operations at the end of the year.

Twelve Fairfield nursing homes get top U.S. News ratings

welve Fairfield County nursing homes received top grades as the best facilities of their type, according to a new data analysis from U.S. News & World Report. In total, 52 Connecticut nursing homes were cited as ranking in the highest echelon of their field, and named a “best nursing home” by U.S. News. As in previous years, U.S. News incorporated data ratings from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for its list. However, the news site followed a different route to rate the effectiveness of the facilities in its 2016-17 report. “This reflects a decision 1) to evaluate a nursing home's performance over time, by averaging monthly data over a year, 2) to place more emphasis on strong

performance in medical quality measures by capping overall star ratings of homes with a low rating in this domain and 3) to call attention to homes, by capping their overall star ratings, that deliver only the bare minimum of rehabilitation therapy to most of the residents who receive high levels of rehabilitative services,” said Avery Comarow, a U.S. News writer tasked with announcing the results. Among the county’s nursing homes, the 28th place ranking for Fairfield’s Ludlowe Center for Health and Rehabilitation LLC was the highest. The other county nursing homes and their listings included Shelton’s Bishop Wicke Health and Rehab Connecticut and Gardner Heights Health Care Center Inc. at 34th and 35th, respectively; Bridgeport’s Jewish Senior Services in 42nd; Stratford’s Lord Chamberlain Nursing & Rehabilitation Center was 43rd; Danbury’s Glen Hill Rehabilitation & Nursing Center was 44th; Fairfield’s Cambridge Health and Rehabilitation Center came in 47th; Greenwich’s Nathaniel Witherell was 48th; New Canaan’s Waveny Care Center was 49th; Norwalk’s Notre Dame Convalescent Home rated 50th; Wilton’s Lourdes Health Care Center was 51st; and Stamford’s Edgehill Health Center was rated 52nd. — Phil Hall, Kevin Zimmerman
