he third iteration of a residential project proposed for 56 Prospect St. in Yonkers has been presented to the city’s Planning Board and also is under review by the Yonkers Zoning Board. “Back in 2017, this project was before the board in a different form,” attorney Steve Accinelli of the Yonkers-based law firm Veneruso Curto Schwartz & Curto said at the Feb. 13 meeting of the Planning Board. “Since that time the project has changed, resulting in a decrease in the size of the project and certain components of it.” Hudson Regency Ventures originally sought and received approvals from Yonkers to build a residential structure with 78 units and 81 parking spaces. The site is vacant land with the addresses of 56 Prospect St., 78-86 Buena Vista Ave. and 29-45 Hawthorne Ave. The Yonkers Community Development Agency, which handles acquisitions and dispositions in conjunction with the Urban Renewal Area, controlled part of the land, was interested in obtaining a different property and did a land swap, allowing the project to move forward. The developer subsequently worked with the city and revised the scope of the proposal to add parking spaces for use by the public. A revised plan called for a 17-story tower with five levels of parking containing 365 spaces. The proposal allowed for 180 of those spaces to be used by the public. At that time the building was designed to have 180 apartments. The newest plan scales back the building to 125 apartments with 130 underground parking spots. There would be two entrances, one on Prospect and the other on Buena Vista. Architect Lucia DiLeo of Studio RAI Architects, which has offices in Pelham and Pound Ridge, told the board that the building would consist of six stories of residences and one and one-half stories for the parking garage. “The mixture of units are studios, two-bedroom and one-bedroom,” DiLeo said. “They all will have their own heating, air conditioning, washer-dryers and complete ADA (Americans with

Disabilities Act) compliance and the building will have a courtyard in the center of the building that everybody will have access to.” DiLeo described the building as using masonry on the first two floors and stucco for the balance of the exterior. He said that access to the underground parking would be from Buena Vista Avenue. Accinelli said the developer is back before the Zoning Board for a height variance. He said setback variances that were originally granted are still in effect. “The footprint of the building has not changed. The only thing that has changed, quite literally, is the height,’ Accinelli said. “It is coming down from the variance that originally was granted but, obviously, the public benefit portion of it vis-à-vis the parking garage is not going to be in contemplation with this project, so that is the reason for the change.” He told the Planning Board

that the developer was expecting a decision very soon from the Zoning Board. The new proposal eliminates a rooftop terrace that originally had been described as giving residents a view of the Hudson River. Roman Kozicky, the Planning Board’s chairman, asked if the rooftop would be used strictly for mechanical equipment. Accinelli explained that it would and that the ground-level courtyard would remain as an amenity for residents. When asked about green features of the building and sustainability, DiLeo told the board that the building would use heat pumps for heating and cooling, very good windows and insulation and a white reflective roof that fits into the so-called “green roof” category. Accinelli explained that although most apartments in the building would be offered at market rates, it also would have affordable units as required by the city.

M&T: 95 employees will be ‘dislocated’ BANK MOVES TO A NEW STAFFING MODEL AT TRI-STATE BRANCHES BY PETER KATZ

“Some people may say ... the package is good, I’m ready to move on, to do something else and they’re going to do it. Other employees will have the ability to say, ‘Well, I don’t want to stay in a branch. It’s really not my expertise anymore, but I do want to go someplace else.’ Absolutely, we’re making sure they get connected with the right people to stay within the bank.” In an annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last year, M&T Bank Corp. reported having 750 domestic banking offices in New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia and an office in Ontario, Canada, as well as the Cayman Islands. It reported having 17,267 employees.

&T Bank is transitioning to a “universal banking” staffing model at its branches in the tristate area in which all employees within an M&T branch can help customers with whatever they need done rather than being confined to a particular specialty such as teller operations. Because the transition involves making changes to jobs and staffing levels and could result in people leaving, the bank filed a notice with the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) saying 95 employees would be dislocated as a result of “restructure of the New York Metro market.” The notice said the employees are at branches in Westchester, Rockland, Suffolk, Hempstead and New York City. David Samberg, a spokesperson for Buffalo-headquartered M&T, told the Business Journal that the bank was not planning a mass layoff. “We expect the majority of employees in those roles to remain with M&T either in the branch or some other role at the bank. The transition should be a three-month process. If any employee decides they do not want to stay with the changes, or at the end of the three months are not able to find a role that fits them, they will receive a package and career placement support,” Samberg said. Samberg pointed out that the universal model is increasingly common in the banking industry. “While community branches remain important to customers, how customers use the branches has rapidly changed. More customers are using online and mobile banking for traditional banking transactions,” Samberg said. “So, while they may come into branches less often, when they do come in, they more often rely on employees to assist with more complex transactions and investments. With a universal banking model, all employees within M&T branches can serve customers with any need.” The notice to the DOL said that in the Mid-Hudson region 46 employees would be affected. M&T branches in 12 Westchester municipalities and four Rockland municipalities were identified. They included Mohegan Lake, White Plains, Elmsford, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Ossining, Peekskill, Rye Brook, Baldwin Place, Chestnut Ridge, Monsey, Nyack and Piermont. Samberg emphasized there are no branches closing and the bank wants to keep as many people as possible. “A lot of the branches within the tri-state area were already doing this,” Samberg said. “This is a successful model. We’re just going to roll it out for the remaining branches.

ONLY IN AMERICA Engineering solutions for pediatric patients BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

f you look at the staff directory at Bythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla you’re now going to find a job title seldom seen at pediatric specialty hospitals: Rehabilitation Engineer. Blythedale recently became one of only 14 pediatric hospitals in the U.S. to have a rehabilitation engineer on staff so it can bring in-house the creation of special items to help meet the needs of some patients. The engineer is Andres Guerrero, a native of Ecuador, who earned a bachelor’s degree in a specialty called mechatronics engineering at the Escuela Politechnia del Ejercito in Ecuador. Mechatronics incorporates both mechanical and electrical systems. It can cover robotics, electronics, computers, telecommunications, industrial automation and other elements. He came to the U.S. to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he earned a mas-

ter’s degree in engineering. While there, he began looking at possibilities for using rotobotics equipment as part of pediatric therapies to help children with mobility issues. “I was able to learn about therapies, about the equipment that’s used with children and I found that I actually wanted to do something to use the science to help children,” the 27-year-old

Guerrero told the Business Journal. “I arrived here in the U.S. three years ago, studied for one year at Birmingham and then worked for them for one year and then came to Blythedale.” So far at Blythedale, Guerrero has worked on creating or adapting about a dozen toys and devices for children to use for recreation as part of their therapy or to ease everyday activities. He described working to redesign a switch so it will be easier for a child to reach and operate it in order to control an electric wheelchair. “It will be almost like a lever that they can pull on to activate the wheelchair,” he said. “We have been working on designing some other switches that can be specific for disabled kids,” he added. When Guerrero learned it was difficult for disabled children to use a toy in which rings needed to be stacked vertically, he redesigned it so that the rings could be lined up in the horizontal plane. “The reaction that we normally have when we

give them new toys is that they are curious about the new object that they have received. When they discover what they can do with it they are really happy,” Guerrero said. Although some of the items Guerrero has produced have been created with the help of Blythedale’s state-of-the-art 3D printer, much of what he does requires skills that normally would be associated with model makers, electricians and jewelers. “The 3D printer is a great tool for creating prototypes. It allows us to create many ideas, many sizes, using different materials,” he said, adding that the 3D printer also is a timesaver. “There may be many engineers around the country working in mechatronics but probably not many actually in hospitals. It’s really a new idea of bringing another specialty to the hospital and that’s what Blythedale is trying to do. It’s trying to bring together people with different specialties to work for the benefit of the patient,” Guerrero said.

Cuomo fighting Trump GOVERNOR BLASTS FEDS FOR CUTTING $8B GRANT FOR NY BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo has blasted the Trump administration for canceling an $8 billion health care grant that had been awarded to New York state in 2014. The grant was part of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP). DSRIP´s purpose is to fundamentally restructure the health care delivery system by reinvesting in the Medicaid program, with the primary goal of reducing avoidable hospital use by

25% over five years. Cuomo said the decision is the latest in a series of moves designed to hurt New York state. He said the motive was simple: New York is a Democrat-voting state and the administration wants to hurt those states and help states where Republicans dominate. The Westchester Medical Center was scheduled to receive $31,054,057 in funding from the latest round. Also among the hospitals slated to benefit was the Montefiore Medical Center Hudson Valley Collaborative PPS to the tune of $14,469,921. Cuomo also cited the

administration’s action to exclude New Yorkers from participating in the Trusted Traveler Program, which helps speed travelers through security checkpoints at airports. He said what Trump has done amounts to holding 200,000 New York travelers hostage. Cuomo told a Feb. 24 news conference in Albany, “Why does President Trump say I am moving from New York to Florida? Because Florida is in play politically and New York isn't, and now he can say I am a Floridian. Vote for me for President, I am a Florida resident. I'll be

good for you.” Cuomo said why the administration would want to play politics with health care is beyond him. “They have no limits whatsoever,” he said. Cuomo added that the loss of $600 million a year would be devastating for the state’s hospital system. “I have never seen politics to this extreme. I have never seen government run through a self-serving political lens like this. But that is what it is. My point is that at one point it has to stop. And the line in the sand has to be health care,” he said.

THE NEXT BIG THING XRHealth growing with virtual reality, telehealth BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

ne of the drawbacks of telehealth has been the two-dimensional aspect of the technolo�y, with medical practitioners as observers and patients as the observed. However, a new technolo�y is expanding the practice through the use of virtual reality (VR), which bridges the gap between practitioner and patient to create an uncommon state of shared experiences. XRHealth, with headquarters in Boston and Israel, has devised an approach that blends software with VR technolo�y solutions in a manner that enables the treatment of significant health conditions. This is achieved by putting the patients through VR-based games and activities that measure mobility and pain thresholds. For example, a patient seeking upper extremity rehabilitation would put on an Oculus VR headset to engage in a game where virtual swords are swung at a series of balloons that appear and disappear, while another exercise explores cognitive training via a memory game using a virtual conveyor belt of items that a patient is challenged to recognize. While the XRHealth approach might seem like fun and games for the patient, there are serious medical observations that take place during the activities. The clinical staff can control the VR unit while the patient is wearing it and is able to see what the patient is viewing. Clinicians can remotely adjust the settings and treatment while the patient is in motion. After an initial training session, the patient can use the headset independently, with the therapy data being stored and analyzed in real-time, thus

allowing clinicians to monitor patient status. XRHealth, which began in 2016 under the name VRHealth, is promoting its technolo�y for acute conditions, including traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation, chronic pain treatment, spinal cord injuries, neurological disorders, memory decline and anxiety attacks. Eran Orr, the company’s CEO, called the technolo�y a “game-changer” by enabling medical practitioners to see the world — albeit a computer-generated version — the same way as the patient. “The VR headset is able to capture and analyze everything we do and quantify processing that had been very hard to quantify,”

he explained. Last October, the company received Series A funding from AARP Innovation Labs to focus on health maintenance therapies for seniors. In November, Israel’s Sheba Hospital announced it would be utilizing XRHealth's technolo�y throughout each of its departments, adding it would become the world’s first VR-based hospital. Amitai Ziv, director of Sheba’s Rehabilitation Hospital, stated the XRHealth systems would also “be able to provide improved training for our facility, along with better and more personalized care for our patients.” XRHealth partnered with the VA St. Louis Healthcare System to bring its brand of VR therapy to veterans seeking pain relief, rehabilitation and relaxation for various medical conditions. On March 1, XRHealth launched VR telehealth clinics in New York, Connecticut and six other states plus the District of Columbia, with more markets scheduled for later this year. Orr noted his company has contracts with four health care providers and is in negotiations with 50 more, including Medicare. “The insurance companies understand that if we provide good access to medical devices, people will become healthier,” he said. “That reduces the cost of care.”

for hotel rooms in key gateway cities but it expects a rebound in Chinese tourism by year-end assuming the coronavirus outbreak is no longer an issue. CBRE expects minimal impact on the office market from the world health emergency, very little near-term impact on the multifamily housing market and some shortterm impacts to the market for retail space in gateway cities such as New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco as fewer Chinese tourists means fewer dollars spent on merchandise.

‘SURGICAL MASKS’

TRAVEL INDUSTRY IMPACT

“Should the virus continue to aggressively spread, broader impacts will occur for high-value industries like autos and electronics,” CBRE said. It suggested that goods and service exporters to China, as well as the U.S. travel industry, will feel the most immediate business impact from the COVID-2019 virus outbreak. Cruise ship operators and airlines were among those forced to immediately adjust to disruptions in their operations. Numerous flights serving mainland China were canceled. The ship World Dream operated by Dream Cruises was quarantined off Hong Kong. Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line were keeping people who traveled to China off their ships. Carnival’s Diamond Princess was quarantined off Japan with more than 600 COVID-2019 cases reported and at least two deaths. The Cruise Lines International Association on Feb. 13 said its members are denying boarding to all persons — passengers or crew — who have traveled from, visited or transited via airports in China, including Hong Kong and Macau, within 14 days before

embarkation. Fourteen days is accepted by the medical community as being the incubation period for the disease.

A VOYAGE TO FRUSTRATION

In the view of Kathleen Koster of Pearl River in Rockland County, the world health emergency brought out the best in at least one cruise ship operator. Koster estimates she has spent the equivalent of about a year sailing on cruise ships, both before and after retiring as supervisor of rehabilitation services for New York state’s Rockland Psychiatric Center. She had been a Westchester resident

for many years and was the group sales manager at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford. Koster and her husband had booked a Feb. 1 through Feb. 15 cruise on the Holland America ship Westerdam, an 11-deck vessel normally carrying more than 1,900 passengers and about 800 crew members. “The cruise was to leave from Hong Kong and visit the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and terminate in Shanghai, China,” she said. “On the flight to Kong Kong, it was clear that something was quite wrong because we noticed on the airplane itself the flight attendants were wearing surgical masks. It was a

“The minute we went up to the desk to register they gave us surgical masks to wear. The tour I had booked for the next day was canceled. We began to walk around the streets and noticed that the parks were closed. Any place where large groups of people normally gathered were closed because of the coronavirus,” Koster said. Holland America notified passengers that the cruise itinerary was being changed because of the virus outbreak. Instead of ending in China, it would end in Tokyo. Passengers were advised to change their return flights home. Koster said when she called United, they agreed to make the change and waive the usual change fee. “When we got on board the ship, they told us that because of their concern with the coronavirus they were not going to allow anyone who had been to mainland China to be on board,” Koster said. “They were constantly checking everyone’s passports.” Koster estimated that about 500 passengers were not allowed to board. The ship departed Hong Kong as scheduled on Feb. 1, carrying 1,455 passengers and 802 crew to the first scheduled port of call, Manila. On Feb. 3, the passengers were advised that the ship would not be allowed to dock there.

‘CLOSED ENTRY’

“Philippine authorities had closed entry to their country and instead we were going to turn around and go to Taichung, Taiwan. So, we set sail for Taiwan and we got there and stood there waiting to be allowed to disembark for one day. Then, they gave Holland America instructions to take the ship away from the dock and we left and that was the last time we touched land until we finally wound up in Cambodia,” Koster said. Fears were spreading among Asian governments that because the ship had originated its voyage in Hong Kong, people on board likely had been exposed to the coronavirus and represented a health threat. On board, no one was showing any symptoms of illness. “On Feb. 7, we found out that we couldn’t go to Japan and at that point they canceled the cruise and told us we would receive a full refund of the cruise fare including all taxes, fees and expenses, which they did, and they also were going to give us cruise credit of up to 50% on a future cruise,” Koster said. “They opened up all of the phone lines to everyone and the Wi-Fi and every night at dinner they offered free wine and they had a few cocktail parties just to keep everyone a little more cheerful because it was starting to get a little scary. “We kept at sea until Bangkok, Thailand, which said they would let us in.” The passengers were told to change their homebound flights to Bangkok departures, but when Koster called the airline it demanded a $2,500 change fee per ticket. Because of that and, on a hunch, she decided against making a change in flights.

GUNS ON THE HORIZON

As the ship was approaching Bangkok, Thailand’s government told them to turn around and go away. Thailand’s navy sent a frigate to deter the Westerdam from entering port. “That was on Feb. 10,” Koster said. “There was a sense of foreboding or fear developing among the passengers. You have to realize that people who go on cruises to exotic places usually are world travelers so there was no panic, just a concern about ‘where the hell are we going to go’ because now we are just floating around in the ocean.” Koster said the passengers were kept informed by the captain and crew with whatever they knew and people knew there was enough fuel and food to last two weeks from the last port they were at, but time was running out. The government of Cambodia offered to allow the ship to tie up at the port of Sihanoukville. Passengers and crew were again screened for symptoms of COVID-2019 and no cases were evident. “We were told not to bother making our own flight arrangements to get home. Holland America would handle everything from here,” Koster said.

your way home.’ Just having him there to tell us he was personally going to get us all out of there was amazing. I felt so comfortable,” Koster said. Koster and her husband were flown to Tokyo, then to John F. Kennedy International Airport. An elderly woman who had been on the ship was diagnosed by a doctor in Malaysia as showing symptoms of COVID-2019. The diagnosis turned out to be incorrect. “It was a dreadful situation to be in, to be in the middle of a world crisis and have almost every country say ‘you can’t come in here.’ It was scary,” she said. Holland America canceled four Asia cruises scheduled for the Westerdam during March and April.

Medical teams checked Westerdam passengers for signs of the coronavirus.

The first flight that was chartered out was canceled, so we were stuck at the airport for the entire day and it was pretty much bedlam. That’s when some people started showing signs of bad behavior and panic. There were people screaming and yelling and pushing. All of a sudden, around 7 o’clock at night, people from Holland America and the U.S. Embassy came in and told us to get our baggage. – Kathleen Koster

Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen came down to the dock to greet passengers with flowers and handshakes and kisses as they were cleared by medical and customs personnel and allowed to leave the ship. Most passengers and crew were quickly flown to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, and driven to the airport. Others stayed on board awaiting clearance. “The first flight that was chartered out was canceled, so we were stuck at the airport for the entire day and it was pretty much bedlam,” Koster said. “That’s when some people started showing signs of bad behavior and panic. There were people screaming and yelling and pushing. All of a sudden, around 7 o’clock at night, people from Holland America and the U.S. Embassy came in and told us to get our baggage.” Koster said they were loaded onto buses and driven to a five-star resort. Koster said Orlando Ashford, the CEO of Holland America, arrived at the resort on the second day. “He spoke to us that night and said, ‘I am here and I’m not leaving until you’re all on

White Plains working to move beyond urban renewal legacy BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

sk White Plains Mayor Tom Roach what he thinks of the city he’s led since February 2011 and you’ll hear superlatives about where it is today, a strong vision for the city’s future and some very strong convictions about what needs fixing. A prime item on Roach’s mind these days is the legacy of urban renewal from the 1970s and ’80s. “At the time the concept was ‘big roads, get them in and get them out, get them back to wherever they want to live’ because no one’s going to want to live in cities anymore,” Roach told the Business Journal during an interview in his City Hall conference room that was attended by the city’s Planning Commissioner Christopher Gomez. Roach said although the Galleria shopping mall and office buildings that were developed in White Plains during urban renewal did help turn around a decaying city and were right for the time, times have changed. “We have a chance to rectify the conditions that were created during urban renewal,” Roach said. “We have a chance to restore an organic feel, a genuinely walkable city, a place where people want to take their time.” Roach was elected to the White Plains Common Council in 2001. He was serving as council president in 2011 when Mayor Adam Bradley resigned. Roach became interim mayor and was elected to fill the balance of Bradley’s term. He won a full four-year term in 2013 and was re-elected in 2017. Roach is an advocate of improving the experience in downtown by making it easier

and safer for pedestrians to get around, welcoming the use of bicycles and encouraging the availability of more products and services at street level.

A downtown attraction was the Keith Albee theater on Main Street.

‘NO COFFEE SHOP’

“When I had an office at 81 Main St., when I wanted a cup of coffee, I had to wait for the Galleria to open. All those office buildings and no coffee shop at street level. It just wasn’t the

thinking at the time,” he said while recalling his former career as an attorney. Roach praised developer Martin Ginsburg’s City Square project now underway to remake the Westchester Financial Center at 50 Main St., diagonally across from the Metro-North train station, as a significant step in dealing with the sterility of the streets from the train station toward Mamaroneck Avenue. “He is going back in time. He’s going to add dining on Main Street, outdoor dining, restaurants,” Roach said. Between Ginsburg’s property and the City Center and shops and restaurants of Mamaroneck Avenue and other core downtown streets is the Galleria mall that has Macy’s as an anchor store. “I call it ‘The Great Wall of Galleria,’ ” Roach said. “When you walk up Main Street it just never ends and then when you turn onto Court Street it continues. When you take one side of a block and make it a blank wall, which is what Macy’s is, you don’t get the kind of true, organic nature of a street.” There has been talk of plans being created for introducing new entertainment, experiential retail and design elements to the Galleria. “I think we’re getting close to when it will be more formal. There is great interest in the site and I think the intent would be to transform it. The Galleria when it was built served a function, but it’s a megablock. It’s just dropped into the city and if you look at it today it’s one of those buildings that’s always been successful on the inside but it’s never been successful on the outside.”

THE TRAIN STATION

Also moving forward is the city’s effort to attract development for three city-owned parcels and a White Plains Renewal Agency property near the train station. The parcels total approximately 4.5 acres and include two parking lots, a firehouse and the parking garage for the train station. The deadline for responses to a request for proposals (RFP) was Nov. 1, 2019. “We got strong responses from very substantial developers,” Roach said. “It’s in the review process here and we’re looking forward to great things there.” Gomez characterized the area as “one of the most sought-after development sites in the region.” He said, “Our next step is internal evaluation of the proposals and hopefully moving forward to interview the respondents.” Gomez said the release of the RFP followed a 15-month public engagement process that included collecting community input on what should happen with the properties and in the general area of the train station. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which owns Metro-North, is in the midst of a $92 million project to refurbish the White Plains station. “I think the MTA and the state of New York recognized that our train station needed a lot more than just a cosmetic upgrade, which is what they had first proposed,” Roach said. “We are the No. 1 destination out of New York in the morning and the third-busiest station in the whole system.” This is not the first time that development at the train station has been on the table. In 2007, developer Louis Cappelli proposed an $800 million project there, which would have

and the local school system have made money from film and TV shoots. Pointing to historic photos taken in White Plains that are displayed on the conference room walls, including ones showing horses and buggies clogging a downtown street, City Hall being dug out from a blizzard and the old RKO Theater on Main Street at Mamaroneck Avenue, Roach reminisced about having been born in the city. “My family goes way back here. My kids are the fifth generation to live here,” Roach said. “To remain a success, you cannot take 1940 and put it in amber and expect to leave everything as it is. What I see for the future is not just a successful community for the economy but a city that truly lives together.”

included three office towers up to 475 feet in height, a 450-foot apartment building and a new 1,500-space garage. The Common Council declined to consider it. Roach and Gomez emphasized the impact redevelopment of the White Plains Mall site could have on the city in general and the transit area in particular while noting that the approvals for the Hamilton Green project at the site recently lapsed but the developer asked that they be reinstated. The project would have 860 dwelling units in four buildings, 27,000 square feet of office space, 85,000 square feet of retail and 29,000 square feet of open plaza.

PARKING PERCEPTION

Roach acknowledged that one negative White Plains has yet to overcome is the way some people view its parking enforcement as overzealous. He said his administration has made it easier to avoid tickets through such things as a cellphone app that allows people to add time to a meter from wherever they happen to be. He noted that overtime fines in city garages are less than half of what they are at street meters. “We have made it easier to avoid tickets but you know there’s always going to be the guy that wants to roll the dice and you know the 99 times he comes out and he doesn’t have a ticket

Before parking meters appeared in White Plains there were horses.

Roof Space Wanted For Rent

Roach praised developer Martin Ginsburg’s City Square project now underway to remake the Westchester Financial Center at 50 Main St., diagonally across from the Metro-North train station, as a significant step in dealing with the sterility of the streets from the train station toward Mamaroneck Avenue.

he doesn’t call me,” Roach said. “The time he does, he calls me. We really want you to follow the rules. The number of tickets issued has gone down because we’ve provided more and more ways to avoid getting them.” One place where White Plains has a growing positive image is with the motion picture and television industry. The city has been the site of numerous film and TV shoots, ranging from “The Godfather” to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Madam Secretary,” “The Girl on the Train,” Steven Spielberg’s “The Post” and the current film by Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman.” “Whenever a film shoot comes in there’s a meeting in this conference room with the necessary city departments and the producers of the film to ensure that they have a smooth process and our residents and visitors are not inconvenienced,” Roach said. He added that residents can submit photos of their houses to the city’s film office if they’d like to be considered by location scouts from the studios who call the city looking for places to film. Roach noted that residents, businesses

tax exemption and a real estate tax PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement. The value of the incentives was not established in the resolution, which allows the YIDA to move ahead with the developer’s Application for Financial Assistance and set a public hearing. The application by Hudson View Associates LLC shows that there are two equal owners: National Resources owns 50% and Great Point Capital also owns 50%. Lionsgate, which has its headquartered in Santa Monica, California, would lease the facility from them. The approximately 109,000-square-foot development would be built on the current parking lot of the iPark complex near the Yonkers Metro-North train station, with a new parking deck to be constructed on top of the Kawasaki Rail Car plant. There would be three soundstages covering a total of 70,000 square feet in addition to 38,600 square feet of support spaces. The project is anticipated to create between 285 and 420 full-time permanent jobs as well as 400 construction jobs. The application showed there would be taxable purchases valued at $42 million associated with the construction project. While the application did not contain a benefit amount, if all of the purchases were taxed at the current retail sales tax rate in Yonkers of 8.88% and were eligible for exemption, the value of the sales tax incentive might amount to $3,729,600. The application estimated the mortgage amount for the project also would be $42 million. The application did not specify the value of an exemption from the mortgage recording tax. With a 1.8% mortgage recording tax rate, the value of such an exemption might be $756,000. The application also seeks a PILOT agreement for 20 years. Values of the incentives are calculated when there’s the public hearing and another appearance before the board for a final approval. The application says the construction contractor would be Pustola & Associates of Naugatuck, Connecticut, and the job would be a mixed shop of union and non-union labor. The YIDA also gave preliminary approval of financial incentives to Waverly Properties, Inc., owner of Westchester Metal Works, for an $8 million expansion of its operations. The company plans to relocate its operations to a new 20,000-square-foot facility at 1100 Saw Mill River Road from its current location at 55 Knowles St. The company is a metals manufacturer and fabricator with 30 employees. It plans to add 22 more employees at the new location.

IN BRIEF PepsiCo buys China snack maker Be & Cheery for $705 million PepsiCo has agreed to buy Be & Cheery, one of the largest online snack companies in China, from Haoxiangni Health Food Co. Ltd. for $705 million. Hangzhou-based Be & Cheery sells nuts, dried fruits, meat snacks, baked goods and confectionery primarily online through the major e-commerce platforms in China. Purchase-based PepsiCo, which has been operating in China for nearly 40 years, said in a statement that the transaction marks an important step in its goal to become “China’s leading consumer-centric food and beverage company.” Ram Krishnan, CEO of PepsiCo Greater China, said: “Be & Cheery is highly complementary to our existing China business with its broad product portfolio, asset-light model and focus on e-commerce. We also expect to leverage Be & Cheery’s innovation and consumer insights capabilities to drive innovation in other key PepsiCo growth markets.” Founded in 2003, Be & Cheery is one of the largest online snack companies in China and reported revenues of approximately 5 billion yuan, or about $710,664,594, in 2019. Jubin Shi, chairman of Haoxiangni, said his company “will focus on developing red dates and local specialty agricultural products

in the future.” Red dates, or jujube, are one of the most popular health foods in China. The transaction is subject to a Haoxiangni shareholder vote, certain regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The purchase comes at a volatile time in China as medical personnel in the nation battle its fastest-spreading health crisis in the form of the coronavirus. Small to medium-size companies in China are particularly vulnerable as a survey by The Chinese Association of Small and Medium Enterprises found that 60% could cover regular payments for only one to two months before running out of cash. These companies account for 60% of the country’s GDP, according to the People’s Bank of China. Many of the small to medium-size companies and their workers have been on an extended break since late January in an attempt to contain the coronavirus. PepsiCo generated more than $67 billion in net revenue in 2019.

I-95 drivers may not be surprised to learn that the highway’s congested passages through Stamford and Norwalk ranked 37th and 49th, respectively, on the ATRI list. Connecticut also secured an 11th place ranking with the intersection of I-84 and I-91 in Hartford. In New York, Rye took a 13th place ranking for its traffic-backlogged intersection of I-95 and I-287, while Elmsford ranked 79th for the intersection of I-287 and I-87. Nyack ranked 81st for its stretch of the New York State Thruway.

BUSINESS-CLASS AIRLINE TO LINK WESTCHESTER WITH CHICAGO

A startup private business-class airline is planning to begin service this spring between Westchester County Airport and Chicago Executive Airport.

AirChicago will operate as a members-only service, with membership tiers ranging from $99,000 a year for travelers making at least three domestic round-trip business trips per month to $1,000 a year for those traveling no more than once a month. The airline is planning to fly with Gulfstream G-IV jets that have been reconfigured from 50 seats to 14 business seats. Flights will include meal service and drinks and offer space for passengers to hold mini-conference meetings. In addition to Westchester, AirChicago is planning routes to nine other markets including Boston, Los Angeles and the Washington, D.C. metro area. David Koch, the company’s founder and a former United Airlines pilot, told Crain’s Chicago Business that he’s already received 200 deposits of $2,500 each for membership in his air service, adding that AirChicago will save travelers an average of three hours per trip. “Airlines experience about 20,000 delayed flights a day out of approximately 100,000,” Koch said. “That makes it an unreliable transport system for someone who has to get to New York for a $50 million deal. Our planes will be parked in the hangar overnight from the departure airport. We fly to the destination city and the plane and crew stays there all day and flies it back in the evening.” — Bob Rozycki and Phil Hall

“I make my living as a business and financial writer and I think by far my favorite subject every time I get the chance to write about it is independent businesses, especially family businesses,” Slack told the audience. “In some ways it’s amazing to me that they exist at all.” Slack expressed the opinion that the only thing harder than running a business is running a family. “Even the best families are dysfunctional and even the best business ideas often fail. And yet here are these wonderfully stubborn people who say, ‘I’m going to take both of those things, put them together and see what happens,’ ” he said. Slack cited statistics showing that 30% of family businesses survive to a second generation, 10% to a third and 3% survive to a fourth generation. “When they do come through the fire, something amazing happens,” Slack said. “They are the strongest and most enduring seg-

ment of American business.” A portion of the event’s proceeds benefited The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation. Catherine was a 6-year-old student who was among those killed in the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The foundation, which honors her memory and love of animals, has established a 34-acre sanctuary in Newtown

IN COURT | Bill Heltzel Pace problem PROFESSOR SUES UNIVERSITY FOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORT A Pace University professor who claims he is a whistleblower is suing the school to get a copy of an investigative report that was used to remove him as chair of the criminal justice department. The report purportedly criticized Joseph Ryan’s leadership skills, according to the petition he filed Feb. 11 in Westchester Supreme Court. Ryan is aggrieved by “his unceremonious removal as chair and the … claim that he demonstrated poor leadership of the department,” attorney Michael Sussman stated in a letter he wrote last year to Pace President Marvin Krislov. “No person should be ‘convicted’ and have adverse action taken against them without basic due process,” he said. Pace spokesman Jerry McKinstry said the “university takes academic leadership very seriously. Whenever we receive a complaint we investigate, in this case by an outside investigator, and take appropriate action.” Ryan, a former New York City police officer, was chair of the Department of Criminal Justice and Security for 23 years. He works at the Pleasantville and Manhattan campuses. Last year he concluded that assistant professor Kimberly Collica-Cox had misappropriated grant funds to pay for travel between two campuses. He reported his concerns to a Pace dean and the university concluded that she had done nothing wrong. Collica-Cox filed a gender discrimination complaint against Ryan and accused him of impeding her attempts to gain tenure. Cynthia Maxwell Curtin, an attorney who practices labor and discrimination law, interviewed at least 15 people and issued a report that, under Pace’s policy, Ryan was not allowed to see. Ryan knows the gist of Curtin’s findings because Provost Vanya Quinones and Chief Financial Officer Robert C. Almon cited the report in their decisions to remove him as department chair. According to Collica-Cox, the report summaries state, Ryan had been collegial until January 2019. Then he would not approve her office hours. He insisted that she work at only one campus. He declined to write a letter in support of her tenure application. Collica-Cox purportedly asserted that several women and minorities seeking tenure had been fired or left the department over the past 20 years. She accused Ryan of discouraging students from taking her class on “Parenting, Prison and Pups,” and then canceled the class. Ryan responded that Collica-Cox complained “because I became a whistleblower and discovered that she was misusing university funds.” The preponderance of evidence did not establish gender discrimination by Ryan, the Curtin report purportedly concluded. Many of the tenure-track teachers who had been fired were white men.

But Curtin found that Ryan had failed to mentor tenure-track faculty, according to the summaries, turning against teachers with whom he had once been collegial. He persistently shared with faculty members his belief that Collica-Cox had misappropriated funds and refused to accept the conclusion that she had done nothing wrong. He referred to Collica-Cox as the “dog-lady,” an apparent reference to her proposed “Parenting, Prison and Pups” class and made negative comments about her research. He had created a hostile work environment, according to Curtin’s purported findings, and breached Pace’s “standards of academic leadership, collegiality and civility … towards male and female faculty alike.” A faculty review committee recommended relocation of Ryan’s office so he would no longer work next to her office. Ryan claims Pace officials had not previously expressed any concern about his leadership, and that the officials who had removed him as department chair had not given him “occasion to be heard.” He is demanding access to Curtin’s report, the petition states, “so he may ascertain the precise comments made by third parties … and the identity of those making said comments.” His hope, according to Sussman’s letter to Krislov, is to remain as department chair through the 2021-2022 school year and then retire.

assets under management, most of which was for seven government clients and the rest for a few pension and profit sharing plans. Francis petitioned for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in October, declaring $1.2 million in assets and $3.2 million in liabilities. His assets included $550,000 for his half-interest in a $1.1 million New Rochelle house and $535,033 in retirement accounts, subject to claims by his estranged wife. He listed his federal tax obligation as $1.8 million and a state tax obligation of $321,315. His income has ranged from $394,000 in

2017 to $247,500 for 10 months last year. He valued his 74.6% interest in Paradigm at zero dollars, and 100% interests in Lejasco Ener�y LLC and Alvin & Friends LLC, also at zero dollars. His joint checking account had $682.57 and his savings account had 88 cents. Francis argues that all of his property is exempt from creditors, under bankruptcy rules, and that the “entire amount owed to the IRS … should be classified as an unsecured claim.” Francis is represented by Eastchester bankruptcy attorney Julie Cvek Curley.

New Rochelle investment manager sues IRS over his $1.5M IOU A New Rochelle investment manager whose firm controls more than $336 million is asking a federal bankruptcy court to let him off the hook for $1.5 million he personally owes the IRS. James E. Francis sued the Internal Revenue Service on Feb. 11 in bankruptcy court for a ruling discharging his obligation to pay five years of income taxes, penalties and interest. “The debtor has been experiencing financial troubles,” Francis’ adversary proceeding states. “Over the course of the past 11 years the debtor has used his best efforts to repay his tax obligations to the IRS.” In 2016, the complaint states, he proposed a compromise to settle his tax obligations for 2010 through 2014, but the IRS denied the request. Francis founded Paradigm Asset Management Co. in 1990. The firm has offices in White Plains. Paradigm promotes itself as the first firm to create “100% big data driven investment strategies” specifically for institutional investors, according to his LinkedIn profile. The firm held assets worth $336.2 million, as of its most recent quarterly U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. A year ago, according to an annual filing, it had $348.6 million in

Looney, D-New Haven — both proponents of bringing tolls back to Connecticut’s highways — have acquiesced to Gov. Ned Lamont’s decision to abandon the plan, which if passed was expected to raise about $175 million in annual revenue from trucks. This means New Yorkers will not face having a toll placed along the 1.4-mile portion of I-684 that passes through Greenwich, Connecticut. The I-684 toll was part of the proposal

to place tolls throughout Connecticut. Westchester County lawmakers had expressed outrage regarding the I-684 toll that would have been placed between the New York exits at Armonk and the Westchester County Airport. Looney’s apparent reticence about bringing the bill up for a vote in the Senate — the vote was rescheduled several times over the past couple of weeks, following months of debate about raising the topic before the legislative session began on Feb. 5 — finally resulted in Lamont’s declaration that he was shelving the issue. “Don’t say, ‘I can’t make up my mind, I need another week, I need another week, I need another week,’ ” Lamont said at a Feb. 20 press conference. “I’ve heard

that for a year and I’ve lost patience.” “I think it’s time to take a pause” on the issue, the governor said. Nevertheless, Looney and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, issued a joint statement after Lamont’s remarks indicating they were still looking for a way to introduce the bill in the Senate. Those plans have apparently fallen through. The delay on voting reportedly involved reluctance by both chambers to vote first on the issue. Aresimowicz, confident that he had enough votes for passage in the House — where Democrats hold a 91-60 majority — and Looney both said that Looney had offered to flip a coin to decide the question, something the Speaker declined. Looney foresaw a more

difficult path in the Senate, where Democrats have a 22-14 majority. The leader believed he could count on 18 affirmative Democrat votes at best, which would have resulted in an 18-18 tie. Nevertheless, that tie would have been broken in favor of tolls by Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz. Remaining uncertain is how the state will now go about funding much-needed maintenance of and repairs to its transportation infrastructure. Lamont has announced plans to bond $200 million this year in place of the tolls income — something that Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, a fierce tolls opponent, likened to his party’s Prioritize Progress plan. That plan, introduced in 2015, involved borrowing $700 million annually.

Golf Association, Montel Williams MS Foundation in New York City and the Westchester Country Club. Halpern was unable to quantify his pro bono work, but stated he has given substantial time to disadvantaged individuals and those who cannot afford to pay for legal help. Having worked as

a club cleaner and golf shop manager at an Eastchester golf club from ages 12 to 23, he has made a point of providing legal services to greenskeepers, caddies and golf pros. He has received awards over the years, including the 2007 Pace Setter award from the Westchester County Business Journal. Halpern is registered as a Republican, according to The Vetting Room website, but has donated to Democrat and Republican political candidates, and he has a “fairly bipartisan political history.” He states on the questionnaire that he was recommended to Trump by “Judge Jeanine Pirro,” who was a TV judge beginning in 2008 with a courtroom show on the CW Television Network, followed by “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Fox News. Pirro served as an actual judge from 1991 to 1993 and was the first woman to do so in Westchester County. She also became the county’s first woman district attorney, serving from 1994 to 2005.

Halpern —

$208,000 as a judge. He graduated from Pace University Law School — now the Elisabeth Haub School of Law — in 1980. He teaches a class as an adjunct professor titled “Anatomy of a Trial: The Burden of Proof,” and he stated on a Senate questionnaire that he would like to continue teaching at Pace upon confirmation. He was managing partner of Collier Halpern & Newberg LLP in White Plains for 36 years. Pirro’s ex-husband, Albert Pirro, was once Halpern’s law partner. Albert Pirro left the firm in 2000, according to The Vetting Room, after he was convicted of tax fraud, and Halpern later represented Pirro in a state bar action. Trump nominated Halpern in 2018 to fill a vacant seat in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Halpern has never held a judicial office, but after graduation from Pace he clerked for federal judge Ben Cooper.

Is college worth it?

reportfromGeorgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce sheds new light on an important question: Is college worth it? As national student debt levels continue to rise, with the average student debt totaling nearly $38,000 per person in New York in 2019, college is one of the biggest investments a person or family will ever make. An honest assessment of the costs and benefits, in real dollars and cents, is more than justified. Published in November, the report, “A First Try at ROI: Ranking 4,500 Colleges,” compares institutions based on their overall return on investment

REPORT RANKS RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI), looking out 10, 20, 30 and 40 years after enrollment. A key finding was that the type of institution makes a difference when it comes to a student’s ROI, with private, nonprofit colleges providing the highest returns over time. Over the course of 40 years, the report finds that the average graduate of a private, nonprofit college has a net economic gain of $838,000, even after paying off higher amounts of student debt. That’s compared to $765,000 for a graduate of a public college and $551,000 for a graduate of a private, for-profit college. Over the short term, community colleges and many certificate programs have the highest returns

after 10 years, given that these programs require fewer credits to complete, leave students with less debt and allow students to enter the workforce sooner. In the long run, however, the earning power of these programs ultimately lags other degrees. The report also includes an online table of all 4,500 colleges and universities, with the ability to sort data based on tuition, median student debt and median earnings for each institution. Visit cew.georgetown. edu/CollegeROI to view the full report and search the database. As the value — and values — of a liberal arts education increasingly come under attack, small liberal

arts colleges find themselves in the crosshairs of the national debate over the worth of a college education. As Dr. Anthony P. Carnevale, lead author and CEW director, states, “This kind of information on the costs and benefits of higher education holds institutions more accountable.” While some might have different goals that make a short-term return more desirable, the Georgetown report considers the longterm, 40-year horizon to be the most comprehensive benchmark for judging value. We also know that the economy of today will not be the economy of tomorrow. As the needs of the workforce shift, locally as

well as across the U.S. and around the globe, it will be important that liberal arts colleges continue to “fight the good fight” and prove our worth on a daily basis. In the Northeast, demographic trends aren’t helping. In fact, we’re seeing formidable headwinds. A decline of college-bound students will most likely lead to a contraction of higher education in Westchester and Fairfield counties in the coming years, making it all the more imperative that families understand the economic value of a liberal arts education. At the same time, the industry must innovate. We must continue to develop curricula that excites students and

WCBJ

engages them in new ways to connect to the learning experience. A liberal arts education is invaluable in that it challenges students’ perspectives, pushes them to think about things differently and ultimately helps shape who they will become. Businesses, too, should be paying close attention. A workforce that can think creatively, take initiative, communicate clearly and work collaboratively — pillars of a liberal arts education — is critical for business success.

Kingfield, a new residential community with 110 luxury townhomes and single-family homes in Rye Brook, was honored with two awards for design excellence by the National Association of Home Builders. The development is a joint venture between a commingled fund managed by Clarion Partners LLC and Sun Homes. Kingfield, which features homes ranging in size from 2,400 square feet to more than 4,500 square feet, is the 2019 Best in American Living Gold Award winner for “Best New Suburban Infill Community,” with the judges citing its “architecture, detailing and really good streetscape.” The Birch, a single-family home plan, received the 2019 Silver Award for “Best Single-Family Production Home” with the judges praising the home’s “beautiful exterior detailing.” The Clubhouse, evocative of a boutique resort, is the heart of the Kingfield community. Gabellini Sheppard, an internationally renowned interior design and architecture firm, is behind the mid-century modern interiors.
