n owner of The Centre at Purchase office park has paid approximately $16.3 million to acquire the Good Counsel campus on North Broadway in White Plains, ending the 125-year presence of a teaching order of Roman Catholic nuns whose plans to close all-girl schools on the historic site sparked protests by parents and alumni in 2015. An entity of George Comfort & Sons Inc. closed in late November on the $16,265,000 purchase of the 16-acre property at 52 N. Broadway from Sisters of the Divine Compassion, whose founder, Mother Mary Veronica, established the private academic complex in 1890. The buyer’s identity and the purchase price, filed in

Westchester County land records in mid-December, were not disclosed in an initial announcement of the sale from the Sisters of the Divine Compassion’s spokesperson in late November. Based in Manhattan, where most of its real estate investments and managed properties are, George Comfort & Sons also owns and operates the 676,000-squarefoot Centre at Purchase in a joint venture with O’Connor Capital Partners and 900 King St., a 215,000-square-foot office property in Rye Brook. Across the Connecticut border in Stamford, the commercial real estate firm owns the 573,000-square-foot High Point Park and Shippan Landing, a 780,000-square-foot office complex formerly called Harbor Plaza.

Cuomo vetoes hotel tax BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF hotel owners and to the dismay of town officials, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has vetoed a series of bills that would have created a 3 percent hotel occupancy tax in 13 Westchester municipalities. The tax would have been in addition to a 3 per-

cent tax already imposed by the county. The six bills that were approved earlier this year by state lawmakers included the villages of Harrison, Tuckahoe, Mamaroneck and Port Chester as well as the towns of Greenburgh and North Castle. The Greenburgh bill included hotels

in the incorporated villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington and Tarrytown. Also included in the veto was a bill that would have imposed a 5 percent bed tax in Woodbury. State lawmakers originally approved the bills before the close of the 2015 legislative session this

past summer. In his veto message, Cuomo cited Rye Brook as the lone, rare instance where a village was approved for a hotel occupancy tax. Former Gov. David Paterson authorized that bill in August 2010, which Rye Brook Mayor Paul S. Rosenberg estimated brought in $552,000 for the vil-

Survival skills serve as a business model BY BILL FALLON

WCBJ

WESTCHESTER COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNAL

bfallon@westfairinc.com

teve Lancia has since 2008 run NorthCamp Outdoor Survival Skills, based in Riverside, Conn., and with a camp in Columbia County. In that time he has educated hundreds in what it takes to survive, either in the wild or in an urban environment in collapse. Most of his clients are women. “People are surprised to hear that,” he said. “They think it’s all about being macho. It’s not. Women learn better, too. They are the ones who get the fire going first.” The art of survival in the wild is predicated upon getting found, which makes it different from survival when practiced in an urban environment, “where,” he said, “the purpose may be that you don’t want to be found.” NorthCamp teaches both urban and wild survival, plus a combat-infused version that is gaining in popularity and, accordingly, in frequency of offerings in 2016. Lancia, whose undergraduate degree is in forestry at West Virginia University, is also an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow, a fraternity of shared accomplishment within Scouting. His enthusiasm for camping and all it entails never left him. He has professionally taught kayaking and skiing and said that, given a knife, he could survive alone in the Northeast woods, perhaps even gain weight. “For 45 years I’ve been building knowledge of the outdoors. The best tool we have is right on our shoulders.” Can he teach a person rooted in 2016 to thrive in the wild? “Absolutely,” he said. “I don’t like the word ‘survive.’ It’s got a desperate connotation. I prefer ‘thriving.’” To survive and perhaps to thrive, Lancia preaches the “Rules of 3.” “Under most circumstances an individual can live for three minutes without breathing or with severe bleeding,” he said. He ticked off survival deadlines in descending order, all focused on three. “A person has three hours to live with exposure to heat stroke or hypothermia,” he said. “The average person can go three days without water and three weeks without food. “If you believe and accept these Rules of 3, then you set up priorities: first aid, shelter, fire, water, signaling and food. That’s what we teach. “Food is extremely important, but it’s usually last,” he said. New York’s Touro School of Medicine recently contracted NorthCamp to learn, perhaps, to see things differently. “We teach, discuss, practice and learn to see things for what they can be, not for what they are,”

Lancia said. “For example, that’s not a jacket; it’s a cervical collar.” The company hires a staff of retired military and police personnel as needed — typically two to four at a time — as when NorthCamp staff taught a New York City company’s 2,500 guests in the Adirondacks last summer. Closer to home, in Gallatin, N.Y., the NorthCamp camp features a LEED platinum-certified cabin as headquarters and a staff chef. “We’re like the Club Med of survival schools,” Lancia said. “We’re all about you learning survival skills, not enduring survival hardships.” He described a NorthCamp adventure as costing a fraction of an out-ofstate golf outing. “Instead of $3,000 to golf in Virginia Beach, they’ll spend $300 and enjoy a weekend at my survival camp.” Dinner might be Cornish game hens roasted on an open fire and served with sautéed kale and pistachio-nut salad. New in 2015 and due back multiple times in 2016 is NorthCamp’s Ultimate Survival Weekend. It features wilderness bushcraft skills plus training in hand-to-hand combat, personal defense and weapons usage, selection and improvisation. “I find everyone we teach to be receptive,” Lancia said. “Every time I teach a class, no matter where it is or who I’m with, I’m living the dream.” He admires the native Lenape people of this region, embracing some of their skills through what he termed bushcraft. “The art of bushcraft is doing more with less.” Available hand-to-hand combat training notwithstanding, the typical lessons hew to basics: learning the double halfhitch, simpler kin to the taut-line, is one of them. Students also learn to remain cool in an emergency. “Avoid panic,” Lancia said. “Conquer fear.” He said those basics will help

on land or water. Given numbers, “Function as a team to find solutions.” “If you’re really prepared mentally and physically, survival is just a mild inconvenience,” he said. Envisioning a catastrophe, he said, “You may not make it home or to work, but you’ll survive and then you move forward.” For that catastrophe in the urban jungle, Lancia said, “You’ll definitely want a weapon.” Artillery may be in short supply, however, so Lancia advises rocks and spears or, better yet, slingshots and bows and arrows. An arrow, he noted, travels more ably through water than does a bullet owing to the inertia of the shaft. “It’s great for fishing.” A walking stick is many tools, including a weapon. If he found himself living on Manhattan Island or Long Island, Lancia said his preparations would include an inflatable boat and access to transportation — he mentioned a bicycle or a motorcycle — on the mainland. In any survival situation, attitude counts for plenty. “There are people who say, ‘I can do this,’” he said. “And there are people who say, ‘I cannot do this.’ They are both right.” Lancia’s years in the business have made him a go-to source for survival information and no survival story was bigger last year than the escaped Dannemora convicts in upstate New York. Their downfall was getting tired and sloppy, Lancia told media outlets throughout New England and as far west as Buffalo. “Of course, they broke into cabins. That helped them.” He offered no sympathy for their outdoor skills, noting they had robbed to survive. The old escapee ploy of hunkering down all day and moving only at night gets tired after a few days, Lancia said. “It’ll drive you crazy,” he said. “Pretty soon you get tired and you get sloppy. You leave a candy bar wrapper behind.”

Showdown expected over Greenburgh project BY COLLEEN WILSON

cwilson@westfairinc.com

he developers of a proposed 272-unit apartment building on Lawrence Street in Greenburgh can be assured of one thing come Jan. 13 — opposition from Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. Feiner said that this could be “the worst project I’ve seen in the town.” The second Wednesday of 2016 is the date scheduled for a public hearing on a draft scoping document outlining preliminary plans to build the Jefferson at Saw Mill, east of the Saw Mill River Parkway on what is now a brownfield cleanup site and formerly the location of the Akzo Nobel chemical plant. The new four-story, 239,000-squarefoot residential complex — which would be across the parkway from the rising 202-unit Rivertowns Square residence — could have adverse effects on the community, including the potential for increased traffic and overcrowding in the school district, Feiner said. In an email, the town supervisor encouraged the community to attend the meeting asking residents to raise issues and provide comment with “specific concerns about this project.” The Irving, Texas-based development group JPI Multifamily Partners LLC has spent months doing its own community outreach on the project, the result of a suggestion from the town board after a pre-application meeting with JPI in February. Neil J. Alexander, an attorney and partner with the White Plains firm Cuddy & Feder LLP that is representing JPI, said that getting additional input from the public at the January meeting will allow the parties to have a more targeted and focused discussion as JPI and the town move through the application process. After receiving feedback from open house meetings, calling and mailing information out to thousands of residents last spring, the JPI planners scaled back their original plans before submitting a formal application with the town in May. JPI had initially planned on building 296 units, but reduced that by 24 units and eliminated three-bedroom apartments entirely. The current four-story proposal includes 24 studios, 164 one-bedroom and 84 twobedroom apartments; of those, 10 percent will be at affordable rates. In addition, JPI has proposed a four-story, 316-space parking structure with an additional 122 parking spots at the site. JPI anticipates spending millions of dollars to clean up the 11-acre contaminated property — though the firm has not yet given an estimate on the total cost of the project

— and has proposed upgrading the nearby South County Trailway with parking, bicycle parking and a water fountain. Issues that are expected to be of the most interest at the meeting include traffic and the impact on school districts. Feiner said the size of the Jefferson project could contribute to the existing traffic issues in the area, more specifically in the village of Ardsley, while adding to anticipated traffic woes with the forthcoming Rivertowns Square complex. Rivertowns is being built directly across the Saw Mill River Parkway in the village of Dobbs Ferry and is expected to open late in 2016. “I personally think this (Jefferson) project is way too big,” Feiner said. “When Rivertowns Square opens there’s going to be more traffic.” As part of its application, JPI has proposed traffic mitigation suggestions including the extension of parts of Lawrence Street and Route 9A as well as modifying traffic signals in both of those areas. JPI said that their traffic-lessening measures are in addition to other roadway construction projects that have not yet occurred, including the Ashford Avenue Bridge Replacement and the 510-foot extension of the southbound right lane on Route 9A. On June 9, the Ardsley Union Free School District Board of Education passed a resolution asking the villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry and Hastings and the unincorporated town of Greenburgh to place a moratorium on the development of residential units for five years. The action, which cited 11 ongoing projects in the area, said the “approved and proposed residential developments will significantly increase student enrollment in the Ardsley Union Free School District” and that the district is “subject to a tax levy cap which does not take into account an increase in enrollment.” JPI, according to its website, said it expects to generate no more than 32 students and said that since 2009-10 enrollment in Ardsley has dropped by nearly 5 percent. In its application, JPI also said the school tax revenue generated will be “at a rate more than 15 percent over the cost for the number of school children generated from the project.” In addition, JPI said it anticipates the new residence could increase tax revenue to $2 million annually when it reaches full occupancy, up from the $217,000 it has paid yearly in property taxes. The town of Greenburgh has hired the planning and development consultant firm Ferrandino & Associates Inc. of Elmsford, to assist with the review of the proposal. WCBJ | HV Biz

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Managing your business’ workload My two top guys are worried about workload, which regularly goes from too much to not enough. I think part of the problem is one unreliable guy, but they tell me they can’t survive without him. I have to make sure everyone is properly trained, but training slows things down. If we staff up to handle time for training, by the time we finish training, there won’t be enough work for everyone. Seems like we can never get the balance just right.

Thoughts of the Day: Make sure each person on your operations team is in the right job. Measure workload and productivity in reports that everyone can see. Weed out misfits as the workload slows down. Hire and train before it gets busy. Set a goal that everyone can get behind. Start by asking yourself, are you ready to step up as a manager and hold yourself accountable for properly managing the people who work for you? Getting to the heart of everyone who works for you includes recognizing people when they excel, identifying when they struggle, diagnosing what’s not working and identifying ways to move and train. It’s important to follow through until things are on track and inspiring people to do their very best. What does each employee look forward

to contributing to your company: Revenue; great client engagement; accurate time keeping; quality work and fewer errors; jobs done fast? Ask each person what he or she looks to accomplish. Find out if new challenges are inspiring or overwhelming. How many people do you have who like to get in a groove and repeat their successes doing the same thing over and over? How many need frequent new trials to keep their attention? Match assignments to individual needs. Fewer challenges with slower paced tasks for people who excel at repetitive work. More tests and a faster pace for those who are easily bored. Measure as much as possible. Error rate, redo’s, number of tasks completed, amount billed to customers, amount of refunds:

these are a few of the basics. Think about what you consider important as people work to address the needs of each client. Set up individual measures so that people can gauge their progress. Make sure that individual measures add up to a productive whole. Produce and post graphics showing how people and departments are performing. Peer pressure and offers of help to those who are struggling can lead to improvements. Successful employment is earned on both sides: manager and employee. Identify when the fit isn’t right and do something about it. This is as essential as appreciating when things are going great. Most businesses have busy and slow periods. Use downtime to weed out, refresh the team and train motivated participants. The goal is to have a team of high performers ready to go for the next busy period, while keeping the best of the team engaged during slow times. As each slow period begins, use layoffs to weed out underperformers, resist the temptation to hang onto someone because of fear they can’t be replaced. An empty spot gets filled faster than a slot held by an underperformer. Look for new hires while things are busy and line up candidates to hire when things are slow. Use slow periods to train new hires and upgrade skills of existing employees. Get people ready for the next upward trend. Make sure that all employees have an assigned manager. Managers should be interested in knowing what makes their subordinates tick. Make sure they are invested in helping set and achieve goals. A good manager helps each person figure out how to align personal and business goals. Some employees want to go home on time, some want to stay late to earn overtime, many take pride in a job well done. Understanding employees’ needs and wants helps a manager knit together a whole solution that delivers on company goals. Looking for a good book?

A&P files suit over unsuccessful Citrin Cooperman Corner Hastings and Millwood sales Your Passport to Business Success

s more and more former A&P locations in Westchester County reopen under new banners, two remain closed, with their futures uncertain. While Shanghai Enterprises LLC won the bid for the A&P store at 87 Main St. in Hastings-on-Hudson and Ruben Luna won the bid for the store at 230 Saw Mill River Road in Millwood, both backed out of their agreements, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains. A&P has sued both Queens-based Shanghai Enterprises and Luna, citing breaches of lease sale agreements, according to court records filed Dec. 16. A&P, represented by New York City legal firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, is suing Luna, who also operates a Key Food Store location in Queens, for $2.4 million plus interest and attorneys’ fees. It is also seeking damages of at least $1.28 million for the uncompleted Hastings sale, plus applicable interest and attorneys’ fees. Shanghai Enterprises’ bid of $928,000 plus the purchase of all inventory at cost was approved on Oct. 29 by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain. Shanghai Enterprises informed A&P on Nov. 10, the day before the store closed, that it was backing out of the deal for unspecified reasons. “Despite the binding and irrevocable nature of its contractual obligations, Shanghai failed to move forward with the purchase ... as it was required to do under the sale order and the express terms of the lease sale agreement,” the complaint reads. By Christmas, all inventory within view of the store’s front windows had been removed, the damages of which A&P placed in excess of $300,000. How long the store will remain vacant remains unclear. In a November newsletter to residents, Hastings village officials estimated the store could be closed anywhere from “weeks to

many months.” Officials had advocated for Shanghai to continue operating the location as a full-scale supermarket. “We have met with the new lease holder who indicated that he purchased this lease with the intention to either sell or sublease it,” officials wrote at the time. “We made it clear to him that the location is zoned for supermarket (plus office space) and that it’s crucial that this location remains a full-scale supermarket.” According to documents filed Oct. 9 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Shanghai Enterprises won the bid with no back-up bidder. It was due to take over the 2001 lease signed originally between Hastings Grocery Owners LLC, a landlord unaffiliated with A&P and the supermarket chain, operating as Shopwell Inc. Luna successfully bid $2.4 million on the 19,360-square-foot Millwood store on Oct. 8 and entered into a lease sale agreement with A&P and landlord A&P Real Property LLC on Oct. 26. He transferred the winning bid to Millwood Merchant LLC, which has a Manhattan address. In a Nov. 19 letter to A&P, New York attorney Harlan Levine, who is representing Luna and Millwood Merchant LLC, said “certain concessions ... would deprive Millwood Merchant LLC of the transaction it had bargained for.” In adversary complaints filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Dec. 18, A&P said it was seeking damages from Luna “for breach of his obligation to purchase the Millwood store based on his winning bid at auction.” “Ruben Luna, as the winning bidder, was not released from his obligations or from liability with respect to his winning bid when he assigned his bid to Millwood,” the complaint alleges. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co., A&P’s New Jersey-based parent company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July. It shuttered all of its regional A&P and Pathmark banner stores by Nov. 26. Several A&P stores in Westchester have reopened as Stop & Shop and Acme Market locations.

the Good Counsel property includes a cluster of 12 buildings with approximately 162,000 square feet of space. Listed on the state and national registers of historic places, the property marks an apparent departure from the buyer’s previous suburban officepark investments. The Sisters of the Divine Compassion spokesperson said only that the buyer “is evaluating potential future uses” for the site. Peter S. Duncan, president and CEO of George Comfort & Sons, could not be reached to comment on the purchase and plans for the property. The landmark stone church on the property, the Chapel of the Divine Compassion, will continue to be used by the nuns for religious services, community celebrations and spirituality programs, and the new owner is working with the religious order to create a heritage space in the chapel, according to the seller’s spokesperson. The nuns also will maintain congregational leadership and operations offices in a building next to the chapel. Twenty nuns who lived in the congregation’s motherhouse on the campus have relocated to other residences, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in the area.

determinative statewide policy as advanced by the Legislature.” “If the Legislature sets such a policy, I will commit to reconsidering this issue.” Hotel owners and managers opposed the bill because of the potential impact on guests, who they said may instead stay in neighboring areas like Fairfield or Rockland counties, which don’t have a bed tax. Several village and town officials lobbied for an occupancy tax because the money raised would offset any potential hike in property taxes. Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, a Democrat who has supported a local occupancy tax for six years, expressed disappointment with the decision. In a statement, Feiner said the tax from Greenburgh’s roughly 2,000 hotel rooms would have generated $1 million for the town annually, which could have funded road repaving projects. “We’re obviously disappointed,” Feiner said. “In my opinion it doesn’t make sense for New York state to authorize the tax for some communities in Westchester and the state — but not others.”

Operating a high school and elementary school on the campus at a reported loss of more than $600,000 annually and facing financial peril for the 80-member order, Sisters of the Divine Compassion in 2014 hired CBRE Group Inc. to market all or a portion of the North Broadway property for sale. After efforts by parents, alumni and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York to find another location for the school failed, the Academy of Our Lady of Good Counsel High School closed following graduation ceremonies last June. Good Counsel Academy Elementary relocated in September to a former Roman Catholic school building in Valhalla. The Chapel of the Divine Compassion will continue to be used for religious services. Funds from the property sale will pay for living expenses and health care needs of order, said the Sisters “have been blessed the sisters over the next 30 years, according with the Good Counsel campus site for to the spokesperson, and enable the nuns 125 years and the necessity of putting the to continue their educational, spiritual and property on the market has posed painful human services work in Westchester, the and difficult challenges on many different Hudson Valley and the Bronx. levels.

The state Legislature has previously approved local hotel taxes for the cities of White Plains, New Rochelle and Rye. Cuomo authorized a similar bed tax for Yonkers earlier this year. The legislation vetoed by Cuomo was sponsored by state Sen. Andrea StewartCousins, a Democrat representing Yonkers, and Assemblyman Thomas Abinanti, a Democrat who represents Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant. In a statement released Dec. 30, Abinanti said he was disappointed with the veto. “I worked hard with our communities to establish a new, reoccurring revenue stream that would have provided relief to our local property taxpayers,” he said. “Unfortunately, this veto furthers the agenda of corporate special interests who try to avoid making a fair contribution to the communities where they are located and who lobbied against this legislation. At the same time, the hardworking property taxpayers of Greenburgh and Sleepy Hollow lost an opportunity for some tax relief.”

The Castle opens for leasing in Port Chester BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

ake The Castle off the list of residential development projects under construction in Port Chester. The mixed-use luxury development with 120 residential units and ground-floor office space at 201 Willett Ave., has begun leasing and will open to residents by the end of January, said Frank Boccanfuso, principal at Phoenix Capital Partners LLC, the project developer. The $50 million development includes studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom rentals ranging from $1,968 to more than $3,000 per month, more than half of which have been leased, according to the developer. Amenities include a parking garage, 24-hour fitness center, private movie theater and clubroom, and a rooftop terrace. Boccanfuso said that a decade after first submitting plans to the village planning board and after more than two years of construction, he was excited to see a diverse mix of tenants interested in the complex. “We really have seen an interest in newly formed families — couples just married or soon getting married as well as older people who sold their homes but want to stay in the area,” he said. “A lot of people from Manhattan also like Port Chester for its night entertainment and the industrial, gritty feel. We felt it was important to bring new, quality housing to complement the retail nearby.” The Castle’s debut comes three years after The Mariner, Phoenix Capital Partners’ 100unit luxury rental building, opened on Willett Avenue. Maryland-based Bozzuto Group is serving as leasing agent for The Castle. Over at Westchester Avenue and Main Street on a vacant site known as “Coney’s Lot,” developer G&S Port Chester LLC has plans to construct an apartment building with up to 79 units and 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The developer has proposed a mix of studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments in what would be a maximum fivestory building. Those plans will be presented to the village Board of Trustees at its Jan. 4 meeting. At 120 N. Pearl St., a 50-unit rental building is being developed by White Plains-based Lighthouse Enterprises LLC. Starwood Capital Group of Greenwich has proposed a $300 million mixeduse development for the former United Hospital site at 406 Boston Post Road. The plan calls for 90,000 square feet of streetlevel shops and restaurants, a 135-room

Fleetwood development kick-off marks a mayor’s farewell BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

evelopers of an $85 million luxury apartment project in Mount Vernon’s Fleetwood neighborhood hosted an indoor ceremonial groundbreaking and community holiday feast on Dec. 29 that was as well a last official public appearance by the project’s leading supporter at City Hall, outgoing Mayor Ernest Davis. Hard-hat-donning dignitaries plunged gleaming steel spades into a boxed sand pit at the rear of the former Metro Fresh Supermarket at 42 W. Broad St., the site on which two New York City companies, Alexander Development Group and The Bluestone Organization, expect to open a 16-story, 249-unit apartment tower in 2017. The market-rate housing development, within short walking distance of the Metro-North Fleetwood train station, also will include 14,500 square feet of retail space on the building’s ground floor and on the street level of an adjacent municipal parking garage, said Mark Alexander, president of Alexander Development Group in Manhattan. The developer last fall acquired the poorly lit and deteriorated four-story garage from the city and will invest about $4 million in garage improvements, according to the proj-

ect website. Alexander said Propark America in December assumed management of the developer’s parking facility, which will remain open for around-the-clock public use as well as private parking for residents of 42 Broad Street West. The groundbreaking was scheduled ahead of demolition of the vacated grocery store, which allowed its key supporter, Davis, to address an audience of about 200 people before leaving office at the end of 2015. His successor in office, Richard Thomas, the 33-year-old city councilman who defeated Davis in a Democratic primary last fall and went on to win election in November in a three-way race, was said to be traveling with his family and did not attend the ceremony. Thomas, as Alexander noted in his remarks at the ceremony, opposed the proposed development on the divided City Council after initially supporting a zoning text amendment in 2014 to allow high-rise, transit-oriented development in the city’s downtown business zone. At his first meeting with the luxury apartment developers to hear their proposal, Davis recalled, “I said, ‘Hell yes, just bring it on.’” Davis said supporters warned him that he would lose the mayoral election if the Fleetwood development was supported

by the city. “It’s not about today; it’s about tomorrow,” he said, suggesting his support for the development had cost him re-election in 2015. “I’ll go knowing I’ve left the city better than I found it,” he said. Davis served three terms in office from 1996 through 2007 and was returned by voters to the mayor’s office in 2012. Leading an administration dogged by corruption charges and a lengthy federal investigation, Davis in 2014 pleaded guilty to misdemeanor federal tax charges, admitting he failed to report proceeds from the 2003 sale of a property he owned in Mount Vernon and did not file income tax returns for 2011. Sentenced in February 2015 to one year

of supervised probation, Davis refused to leave office before his term ended despite pressure by some Mount Vernon residents for his resignation. Responding to questions from the mayor at the ceremony, Alexander said the developers will pay about $1 million annually to the city in taxes and fees. The Broad Street high-rise will add nearly 500 residents to Fleetwood with collective annual income of about $35 million. Alexander presented city officials an outsized check for $556,635, the developer’s building permit fee. “This check isn’t the real deal,” he said. “The real deal went into the bank last Wednesday.”

SPECIAL REPORT EDUCATION

Mercy College opens new dorm for more residential campus BY EVAN FALLOR Evan@Westfairinc.com

ake a stroll through the streets of Dobbs Ferry and odds are you will notice more Mercy College apparel than in years past. Pop into the Stop & Shop in the heart of town — especially late on a weeknight — and you’re likely to see a number of Mavericks sweatshirts at the checkout line — usually student-athletes stocking up on sports drinks or granola bars. Some residents are happy. Some are sad to see the gradual change. Others are indifferent. Most agree that a gradual metamorphosis is underway in the Rivertown village of 11,059 residents — soon to be 11,409. On Dec. 18, Mercy College unveiled Hudson Hall, its $32 million, 100,000-square-foot residence hall that will house 350 students on the college’s 66-acre campus on the village’s northern border with Irvington. The hall includes 18 six-bed suites, 57 four-bed suites, a 5,000-squarefoot fitness center and a Starbucks Cafe and convenience store. Students are expected to move in this month, which would bring the total number of residents on campus to 669, or about 8 percent of total undergraduate enrollment at Mercy’s four campuses in Dobbs Ferry, Yorktown Heights, Manhattan and the Bronx. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Dec. 18 for the dorm, which also includes community and lounge spaces that officials said will “enhance the student experience.” Prior to the ceremony, Mercy College President Timothy L. Hall said he hoped the new dorm would increase student interaction at a college that has earned a reputation largely as a commuter school. Its expansive parking lots often are deserted on weeknight sand on weekends. “The new residence hall will help increase student engagement on campus and build a sense of community,” Hall said. “We are doing more to help our students succeed, and one of those things is providing places and opportunities for them to make connections with one another.” Adam Weinstein, a senior business major

This $32 million dormitory opens this month on the Dobbs Ferry campus of Mercy College.

at Mercy and a Dobbs Ferry native, said in his two years since transferring to the school, he has noticed an uptick in students on campus and roaming town. “Each year I see more and more Mercy students all throughout this village, some of whom I recognize but most that I don’t,” said Weinstein. “It’s the Mercy College apparel that gives it away.” On the Mercy website, college officials laud the 2015-16 academic year as one of “record-breaking enrollment” — a total of 11,272, including 7,939 undergraduates and 3,333 graduate students. That has created a residential community that officials said is “vibrant and in high demand.” Most of the students who will move in to Hudson Hall have been living at the Westchester Marriott, Residence Inn, Hyatt House and Hampton Inn hotels in the area. The school has provided a day and evening shuttle for those students another to 145 Palisade St. in Dobbs ferry for off-campus students and Metro-North Railroad commut-

ers. An increasing number of students are choosing desirable off-campus rentals along Broadway, Cedar Street and Main Street, the village’s three main thoroughfares. The school’s original residence hall, renamed Founders Hall since the opening of the new dorm, houses an additional 319 students. Room rates for Founders Hall ranges from $7,598 for a quad to $9,350 for a single room per academic year. “With the building of this new residence hall more students here at Mercy College will make friendships that will last a lifetime and get involved in groups they didn’t even know existed,” Student Government President Ray Woznick said. “We have been asking for more suites, more lounges — more Mercy really — and we even got a Starbucks.” The construction project, which began in September 2014, had been strongly opposed by residents of The Landing on the Water, a 103-townhouse complex on 35.5 acres that flanks Mercy College. Noise, traffic and the population increase

were among the issues raised by The Landing on the Water Homeowners Association as well as concerned residents from both Dobbs Ferry and Irvington. In a letter presented to the Irvington Planning Board in 2012, Jim Hornstein, president of the homeowners association, called the school an “unreliable and negative neighbor” due to what he said were unreliable student counts to justify the need for a new dorm. “We know that Mercy is responsible for 65 percent of the traffic on Route 9, and pays no income taxes to either Irvington or Dobbs Ferry,” Hornstein wrote. Weinstein, the business major living offcampus, said the change to a more residential college is noticeable yet gradual. “I see Mercy as more of a commuter school, as most of the friends I have made over the years live 30 minutes away or farther,” he said. “I do feel as if the school board is trying to remedy this with the construction of the new dorms and availability of more off-campus housing.” WCBJ | HV Biz

Vacant storefronts become canvas for Purchase students

any vacant storefronts often look vaguely similar: uninviting, dusty windows through which scattered remnants of old furniture in an empty space are on display. However, there are eight storefronts in downtown White Plains that don’t bear any resemblance to that tiresome depiction. As part of a new White Plains Business Improvement District-sponsored program called Art in Vacant Spaces, design students at Purchase College and a poet combined forces to transform the look and feel of the empty glass panes in some of the busiest shopping corridors in the city. Brittany B. Brandwein, director of events and business promotions at the White Plains BID, said the idea for the project surfaced after receiving feedback from the community about whether anything could be done to improve the appearance of the city’s empty storefronts, which in March was estimated to be anywhere between 10 and 22 percent in White Plains. “The goal, ultimately, was to beautify the vacant space for the community, give them something nice to look at and also to bring attention to the spaces in a more positive way,” she said. Eight storefronts spread out on Mamaroneck Avenue, Court Street, Main Street and Martine Avenue were chosen as the canvases for students in Warren Lehrer’s community design class at the School of Art and Design on the SUNY campus in Purchase. The artistic components were also left to Lehrer, an author and professor at Purchase, who came up with the idea to fuse poetry into the student-created designs for the storefronts and brought on Judith Sloane, a poet, oral historian and actress, to partici-

pate in the assignment. Lehrer’s concept for the project was rooted in the idea of “going into White Plains and talking to residents and people who work and commute to White Plains, get personal stories, do research on the city,” he said. “None of these (designs) really get too much into the why, but reflect on some of the shades, feelings, hopes around the vacancies.” Lehrer said the challenge for the students was “how to make these poems live in a visual space” and in ways that are “engaging to people who are just walking down the street trying to get to the next place.” Sloane, who was commissioned by the college to develop the poems, interviewed people in the community to develop a sense of their connection with White Plains. One of the poems, for example, centered on the commute in and out of the city on the train, which was a central component to many of the connections people had with White Plains. One student translated and illustrated this poem into a lenticular design that from one angle reads, “I live in the city; I work in White Plains,” and from another angle reads, “I live in White Plains; I work in the city.” The cost of materials for the project were largely covered by the BID and the art was printed at a discounted rate at PIP Printing in downtown White Plains, which also provided a storefront for the project. Brandwein and Lehrer said that when they went back to take pictures and see how people reacted to the newly decorated shops, they both observed people doing doubletakes and at times turning around to get a closer look. “While none of these directly say, ‘Please rent my space,’ in a Zen kind of way, the best thing that could happen with these is for them to have to get taken down because the stores get rented,” Lehrer said.

INBRIEF EDUCATION BILL O’REILLY GIVES $1M FOR NEW MARIST SCHOLARSHIP FUND Fox News commentator and author Bill O’Reilly has donated $1 million to Marist College to create a scholarship named after a former mentor at the television host’s alma mater in Poughkeepsie. The recent gift by O’Reilly, a 1971 graduate, will be used to establish the Peter P. O’Keefe, PhD. Endowed Scholarship, Marist officials said. O’Reilly, host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox, in the announcement described O’Keefe, a history professor who retired after a 34-year career, as “an exceptional teacher, scholar, and mentor.” “I am pleased to be able to establish a scholarship in his honor so that others can benefit as I did from a great Marist education,” he said. Marist officials said the scholarship will provide full financial support to one student annually, beginning with an incoming member of the class of 2020. Chosen students will have demonstrated special promise in academic and leadership roles and would not otherwise be financially able to attend Marist. Examples of potential recipients include class valedictorians, salutatorians, National Merit finalists, student body presidents, school newspaper editors, Eagle Scouts, Gold Award recipients, athletic team captains and other young leaders. “I am truly touched by this wonderful tribute from one of the most talented, entrepreneurial and engaged students I had the privilege of teaching at Marist,” O’Keefe said. “It is a wonderful example of giving back that Bill is setting with this new scholarship, which will allow more talented students to discover and nurture their interests and passions at Marist, as he did.”

SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE AWARDED $40K IN GRANTS Sarah Lawrence College’s Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) has been awarded $40,000 in grants by the Westchester Community Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts to fund water quality research and environmental education programs. Officials said this month that the Westchester Community Foundation awarded $30,000 to complete water quality research that would help community and government agencies find solutions to water contamination, while the National Endowment for the Arts provided another

$10,000 to fund “Hudson River: Through the Arts,” offered by CURB for underserved families in Yonkers. The series features literary, music, dance and theater performances as well as art activities and environmental education programs. CURB, which began in 2013 as a partnership between Sarah Lawrence College and the Hudson River Valley Environmental Education Institute, created a research field station on the Hudson River in Yonkers and offers environmental education programming for school and community groups. The organization works with partners such as Riverkeeper to fight sewage and other contamination of river water. Westchester Community Foundation’s funding comes as one of 21 grants the organi-

zation announced it would be providing to 21 community and environmental nonprofits earlier this month. In a statement, Executive Director Laura Rossi said the organization believes in “maintaining our commitment to protect our natural resources and address climate change.”

FORDHAM OFFERS POSTGRAD PRE-MED PROGRAM IN WESTCHESTER Fordham University officials announced the school’s post-baccalaureate pre-medical/ pre-health program for the first time will be offered at its Westchester campus in the spring semester that begins this month. Program classes are scheduled to start Jan. 19 on all three Fordham campuses at Lincoln Center in Manhattan, Rose Hill in the

Bronx and West Harrison. An informational webinar about the program will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7.

High school students hone business skills in annual contest BY LEXI CURNIN Business Journal Intern

ompetition was stiff at the Youth Business Skills Case Study Competition held at the Morgan Stanley headquarters in Purchase on Nov. 13. Almost 150 high school students from 18 schools across Westchester County gathered to participate. The annual competition, hosted by the African-American Men of Westchester in partnership with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Morgan Stanley Multicultural Employee Networking Group, is designed to provide valuable business experience to high school juniors and seniors, particularly minority students. “The nature of work has changed drastically over the last 20 years,” said Bernie Thombs, event co-chairman and member of African-American Men of Westchester. “Over 25 percent of today’s jobs did not exist 20 years ago, and this trend will continue. The AAMW recognized this in 2003 and developed the Business Skills Case Study Competition to address the needs of a changing economy.” Each school’s team must craft a workable solution to the problems presented by a business school case study. This year’s case — “Hydrofruit, Inc.: Ripe for Harvest or Rotten Tomato?” — came from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. The teams were given a copy of the case study one week before the competition to begin addressing the economic, legal and social issues facing the fictional business. On the day of the competition, the teams worked closely with Morgan Stanley mentors to prepare compelling presentations on their findings. By engaging in intensive problem-solving and presenting their solutions to a judging panel of senior Morgan Stanley employees — led this year by New York State Supreme Court Justice Bruce Tolbert — students cultivate their analytic and collaborative skills as well as their confidence in communicating complex ideas, according to competition organizers. José Morales, chairman of the Morgan Stanley Multicultural Employee Networking Group, said of the students, “It’s clear that they’re walking into a very professional environment and I think they basically put on their A game.” The winning team, from Ardsley High School, was comprised of members of the school’s chapter of DECA, a 215,000-member national club of high school and college students promoting business education and entrepreneurship, and the school’s AfricanAmerican Club. Two Yonkers schools, Yonkers Montessori Academy and Saunders Trade and Technical High School, finished

second and third, respectively. The Ardsley team coordinator, Paula Wood, said the team was successful because “they came together very nicely. They were able to allocate responsibilities to different members.” That divide-and-conquer approach allowed the Ardsley students to clearly articulate their understanding of concepts crucial to the resolution of the case study, she said. Morales said the Ardsley team “had multiple students that brought in concepts that we felt were very advanced for a high school student, like net present value.” Wood said the students found having a Morgan Stanley mentor “exciting and inspiring.” Several hope to continue the mentor relationship with internships at Morgan Stanley, demonstrating that the value of the competition extends beyond its ability to develop students’ business skills.

Ardsley High School students make their first place-winning presentation at the Youth Business Skills Case Study Competition at Morgan Stanley in Purchase.

HIS WIFE SAID MIDLIFE CRISIS. HIS THERAPIST SAID DEPRESSION. HIS DOCTOR SAID ALZHEIMER’S. NOBODY SAID FTD. Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) is the most common cause of dementia for people under 60, affecting more than 50,000 in the U.S. alone. Onset strikes earlier in life—when few anticipate dementia—and accurate diagnosis can take years. Families lose active parents and breadwinners without knowing what’s stealing away the person they love. And when a diagnosis is made, there are no effective treatments. Help to change that reality today. www.theAFTD.org/learnmore

ABBOTT HOUSE HONORS HOUSTON AND PITURRO Abbott House, the Irvington-based nonprofit serving children, families and the developmentally disabled, hosted its 2015 The Dignity of Family Life Award Dinner on Dec. 12 at the Crowne Plaza White Plains. The Dignity of Family Life Award was created in remembrance of the occasion of the first Abbott House fundraising dinner when the honoree, Nobel Laureate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., delivered a speech he titled “The Dignity of Family Life: An Address at Abbott House, Westchester County, Oct. 29, 1965.” This year’s celebration honored Allan Houston, assistant general manager of the New York Knicks and general manager of the D League Westchester Knicks with the 2015 The Dignity of Family Life Award, which is presented to individuals

who personify the values and commitment necessary to preserve the dignity of family life. Swin Cash, forward for WNBA New York Liberty, MSG broadcaster and former UConn and Olympic champion, served as the master of ceremonies. According to Abbott House President and CEO James L. Kaufman, “On this occasion we also bestow the 2015 Friend of Abbott House Award – given to individuals for their longstanding contribution of time, talent, and treasure to the people served by Abbott House – to Genevieve Piturro, founder and executive director, Pajama Program and Abbott House supporter and the accounting firm, O’Connor Davies LLP, represented by John Cosgrove, partner.”

WEDC WELCOMES NEW PROGRAM DIRECTOR Sylvia Herzog of Mount Kisco has joined the Women’s Enterprise Development Center staff as program director. She has a background working with entrepreneurs and providing mentoring and business counseling to small businesses over the past five years.

“The WEDC team is talented and dedicated and working together with them will be an honor. I am very much looking forward to meeting WEDC’s existing clients and new small-business owners and helping them on a path to growth,” said Herzog.

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING

GROUP AWARDED FUNDS TO HELP SENIORS REMAIN INDEPENDENT Donations amounting to $4,300 from Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley to Hudson Valley Home Matters, an organization in Poughkeepsie that helps senior citizens stay independent in their homes, came from the Ann and Abe Effron Fund ($2,300) and $2,000 from the Community Foundations Anonymous Fund. Some of the money will be used for services and events the group provides, and the balance will be dedicated to scholarships for seniors who are unable to afford the group’s membership fee. Hudson Valley Home Matters volunteers perform minor home repairs and provide transportation to seniors for doctors’ appointments, shopping and social

events. Karl DeKeukelaere, president of the board of Hudson Valley Home Matters, said “These grants will help us provide the social and educational services that our members enjoy. The funds will also help us transport our members to their appointments, support our handyman services and provide potential financial assistance to new members.” Founded in 2010, Hudson Valley Home Matters provides services for seniors who are living independently in Poughkeepsie, Wappingers Falls, LaGrange, Pleasant Valley and Hyde Park. Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley administers $51 million in assets to support the community through grants and scholarships.

SUMMERTECH FOUNDER TO DONATE $50,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Purchase College-SUNY announced a new scholarship fund made possible by Steven Fink, founder of SummerTech, an innovative summer camp experience for children ages 8 to 17, which is celebrating its 10th year on the campus. During the program, students have the choice of taking classes in code, animation, web or film, gaining computer skills and confidence. The SummerTech Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships to undergraduate students enrolled in the Purchase College School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, majoring or minoring in mathematics/computer science or new media. Preference will be given to students who integrate computer science with film, music or visual art.

JANUARY 4, 2016

Fink said, “We’ve been so grateful to find a home at Purchase College. It’s been exciting to be a part of what goes on here. I’ve been wanting to get more involved for a long time, to be a bigger part of the community and I can think of no better way than to help grow the technology programs and encourage the fusion of the arts and sciences.” “We’re grateful to Steven for his dedication to inspiring young people to find and develop their passions in technology,” said Purchase College President Thomas J. Schwarz. “We’re thankful that our partnership with SummerTech has in turn inspired Steven to help support Purchase students as they forge their own paths integrating the arts and technology.”

CHINESE PHYSICIANS VISIT PHELPS A delegation of 10 Chinese emergency medical service physicians from Beijing’s “120” EMS system (the equivalent of the U.S. 911 system) recently visited the Hoch Center for Emergency Education at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center. The group was touring various EMS centers of excellence across the U.S. as part of its research for a restructuring of the EMS system in Beijing, China’s capital city. While at the Hoch Center, Anne Castioni, coordinator of emergency medical education, presented a lecture on the American EMS system and education demonstrating some of the center’s unique educational tools, including high-tech mannequins, which students use to practice administering medical treatment in a mock ambulance or hospital room. The group also met with Scot Phelps, professor of ambulance science at the Emergency Management Academy and former manager of emergency life support programs at Phelps.

NATURE CENTER NAMES MARKETING MANAGER Greenburgh Nature Center has hired Rebecca Snyder, a resident of Port Chester, as events and marketing manager. Snyder had been a campaign specialist at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and worked as an independent development consultant and grant writer. In her new role, Snyder will be responsible for the management and coordination of the nature center’s communication and promotional platforms coordinating fundraising and community events. “As our organization grows and expands its efforts in the areas of conservation and sustainability, it is imperative for us to effectively communicate our mission in order to support our efforts in the community,” said Executive Director Margaret Goldberg.

GREENWAY AWARDS $69,246 Eleven Hudson Valley communities and organizations received a total of $69,246 in matching grants from the Hudson River Valley Greenway for trails development, public access and educational projects. The grant program supports the Greenway’s goal to establish the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail, a contiguous trail along the Hudson River corridor linking cultural and historic sites, parks, open spaces and community centers from New York City to the Capital District. The program offers funding for trail planning and design, construction and rehabilitation and trail-related interpretation projects with an emphasis on projects that seek to implement the goals of the program. With more than 700 miles of designated Greenway Trails, since 2000, the Greenway Grant Program has provided more than $9.1 million in funding. Funding for these grants was provided through New York’s Environmental Protection Fund. The village of New Paltz was among the 11 receiving $5,000 to construct an information kiosk and bike rack at the southern trailhead into Mill Brook Preserve as was the

Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, which received $10,000 to develop and install new signs on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. The town of Fishkill received $10,000 to plan a 2½-mile trail segment located along the Hudson River. The proposed trail will be an extension of the planned Hudson Fjord Trail and extend from the Wappinger town line to Beacon. Teatown Lake Reservation in Ossining received $1,796 for a new and upgraded bridge over the Big Brook crossing within the Kitchawan Preserve while the town of Yorktown received $7,500 to build a trail connection linking the North County Trail Way in Yorktowns Railroad Park to Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park. The trail will also connect from the 4-mile regional trailway and the Yorktown Heights business hamlet to FDR State Park. The proposed trail way connection will complete a critical east to west link in the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail System. The village of South Nyack received $5,200 to develop and install trailside interpretive signs that will connect trail users to the cultural and natural resources of the area.

2015 FULL OF AWARDS FOR LINCOLN MUSEUM At the close of its first operating year the board of directors of the Lincoln Depot Museum in Peekskill was grateful for the support it received to help make 2015 an enormous success for the museum. After many stages of restoration and reconstruction of Peekskill’s original train depot site, the long-anticipated opening of the museum was accomplished in October 2014. Although inspired by President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s stop in Peekskill Feb. 19, 1861, the museum is much more than a tribute to one of America’s favorite presidents, it is a tribute to the

contributions of the area and the state of New York to Lincoln’s elections and inﬂuence during a most diﬃcult period in U.S. history. The museum’s theme “New York and Abraham Lincoln, the Indispensible Relationship” explains how significant contributions were

made by important local residents of the period and how New York’s military participation during the Civil War contributed to success for the Union Army. Accolades for the museum include recognition by The American Institute of Architects for architectural excellence for the building’s restoration and reuse, and most recently, the Peekskill Historic Preservation Board recognized the museum as one of its two restoration award recipients. The museum has also been recognized as a model of historic preservation, adaptive reuse and sustainability.

The goal of the museum is to be a center of educational outreach and community involvement featuring exhibits, events and lectures. “We are elated by the reception the museum has been given by the public and the recognition we have received by the historic community has been overwhelming,” said board President John G. Testa. “We knew that our vision was unique and, if done right, would make the impact and impression we expected. It has done that and more. We will build on this success in 2016.”

MORE THAN $480,000 RAISED FOR MARIA FARERI HOSPITAL The 11th edition of 100.7 WHUD’s annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Radiothon was its most successful yet, with more than $480,000 raised for Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Thanks to the outpouring of support throughout the Hudson Valley and generous contributions from community partners ShopRite Supermarkets Inc., 100.7 WHUD, Saw Mill Auto Sales and the Fareri family, 2015’s fundraiser surpassed the 2014 radiothon, which raised more than $250,000. “We are grateful for the incredible support shown to the hospital through the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Radiothon,” said Michael Gewitz, the William Russell

McCurdy physician-in-the hospital. “The generosity of our sponsors, WHUD listeners and the community as a whole is a wonderful demonstration of confidence by the community in the outstanding pediatric care provided to local children and their families by Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.” Other Radiothon sponsors included Tompkins Mahopac Bank, the Page & Otto Marx Jr. Foundation, Classic Cruisers Car Club and Hot Rods on the Hudson, The Grove at Valhalla Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, All Aboard! Childcare Education Centers and Somers Sports Arena. Additionally, former and cur-

WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL TO OPEN FIVE NEW OPERATING ROOMS As of Jan. 1, White Plains Hospital will have five new, state-of-the-art operating rooms open and ready for patients. The first new OR, completed in 2013, was designated specifically for minimally invasive and robotic procedures and includes the latest da Vinci surgical system. All are designed to support the most advanced surgical procedures, enhancing eﬃciency, safety and patient comfort. According to Kaare Weber, director of surgery, “White Plains Hospital is going to be the first hospital in the tristate area to

obtain the latest generation of minimally invasive technology in these operating rooms. Everything about the new operating rooms, from ﬂoor to ceiling, has been extremely well thought out and deliberately planned.” The operating rooms include: • The latest robotic equipment. • An advanced surgical video system. • Specially designed ﬂoors with no seams or cracks, to increase cleanliness and minimize the potential for infections. • The latest in anesthesia equipment.

The new operating room, part of White Plains Hospital’s campuswide transformation.

• Laser-guided surgical LED lights that automatically focus and illuminate the surgical field with minimal shadowing. • All equipment is housed
