hite Plains Hospital has presented plans to the city’s Common Council for a 216,000-squarefoot ambulatory care and office building that will continue the 125-year-old hospital’s steady expansion over the past decade.

The hospital’s representatives kicked off what was a busy hearing for the council on April 30, with three different developers presenting plans for new projects in the city.

The Common Council holds special work session meetings at the end of each month, which are occasionally used by real estate developers to give overviews of projects before officially filing their plans. For the April meeting, the council heard the plans for the White Plains Hospital expansion, a revised proposal for a residential conversion of the former AT&T offices at 440 Hamilton Ave. and a presentation for a renovated pedestrian plaza at the Main Street entrance to City Center.

fter more than a decade abroad working in kitchens across the globe, a Westchester native has returned home to open his latest venture.

At 10 N. Central Ave. in Hartsdale, owner and chef Brian Sernatinger has opened the doors of Único, a 1,500-square-foot restaurant near the Four Corners intersection of Hartsdale and Central Park avenues.

“We really care about what we’re doing here and I think that’s important, and I think it comes through in the service and our food,” Sernatinger said. “We want to make people happy that’s what we’re trying to do here.”

The restaurant's name translates to “unique” in Spanish, a word Sernatinger describes as his mission for the restaurant. Menu items are largely focused on seafood, but range from fried goat cheese to steamed mussels to purple basil pappardelle.

“I think my style of cooking takes little pieces of everything from everywhere I’ve lived and everything that I’ve tasted and kind of puts it into my own little style,” Sernatinger said.

Sernatinger has spent two decades working in kitchens in both Europe and North America.

After attending the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, he went on to work in New York City restaurants Gramercy Tavern and Craft.

From there, hoping for a change of scenery, Sernatinger moved to Spain, a country he fell in love with during a study-abroad trip. After six years in Europe, he returned to New York City, where he spent four years working as a private chef.

Soon after, Sernatinger met his future wife, Deya, and decided to relocate yet again to her home country of Mexico.

“I moved to Mexico just trying to steal her and bring her back,” he said with a laugh. “And we ended up just staying there.”

While in Mexico, the couple opened their restaurant Único in Tulum, a popular tourist town on the Caribbean coastline.

“She could never understand why I loved working in restaurants so much,” Sernatinger said of his wife. “It’s brutal, but she’s learned to love it. And I get to hear her laugh all

night when I’m in the kitchen.”

After five years in Mexico, Sernatinger and his wife decided to return to New York, with hopes of opening a second Único restaurant.

“It’s nice to be closer to home to see my family more often,” he said.

“Westchester is a great little area.”

The couple moved to Westchester last year and spent months searching for vacant space.

“We tried finding something in New York City. We almost closed

on three places, but it was very discouraging,” he said. “It’s expensive and the way people do business there is pretty shady, so we got really discouraged.”

Frustrated, the couple decided to search a little closer to home and decided on the site in Hartsdale.

After five months of work, which included a fresh coat of paint, flooring and renovations to the bar and new kitchen equipment, the 40-seat restaurant opened in March.

There are some notable similarities between Único in Tulum and the eatery in Hartsdale, Sernatinger said. A mural of a lion’s head on a depiction of Sernatinger’s body takes up a wall in the dining room in Hartsdale, a portrait similar to one painted inside the Tulum eatery.

A number of menu items are identical or similar to those served in the Mexican eatery.

“I think my style, my food, doesn’t change, but there’s obviously different ingredients to work with here,” he said. “I think once I get my footing here and see what people want, I’m going to be changing my menu a lot.”

Sernatinger hopes to offer a tasting menu in Hartsdale, something that has proved successful at his Tulum restaurant.

“In Tulum, we have people that go there on vacation every year and they come to us every year,” he said.

“We want that to happen here.”

Though the Hartsdale restaurant has monopolized much of the couple’s time in recent months, Sernatinger said he hasn’t neglected his Tulum location.

“We go back every once in a while. We’ll go back fairly soon just to check on everything,” he said.

“It’s not easy.”

It’s a Great Time to Sell Your Business

BY LAQUITA JEWETT, CPA

LAQUITA JEWETT Business owners who are contemplating a sale of their business often find it difficult to decide on the best time to sell. A number of external market factors contribute to a positive sales environment. Many industry experts predict that now is the time for middle-market (companies with revenues between $10 and $250 million) business owners to sell their business at maximum values.

eated around a table in shared workspace at The PowerLab offices in southwest Yonkers, three Yonkers high school students were at work on a recent afternoon at laptops. The students took part in coding lessons as Ray Wilcox, one of PowerLab’s co-founders, looked on.

One of the students, Prince Thompson, a junior at Yonkers High School, was at work creating a calculator through Python coding. Thompson is one of 12 students who started a pilot program in January that offers computer-programming classes through KodePal, a teaching software with local roots.

“What I like the most is learning new things and making new games,” Thompson said. “I made Rock, Paper, Scissors already.”

“I like that,” Wilcox added with a laugh. “You better talk that up.”

THE BEST TIME TO SELL YOUR COMPANY IS NOW! The following market factors contribute to a favorable seller’s market in 2018.

• Strong Economy: The U.S. economic outlook for 2018 is healthy, as measured by key economic indicators including gross domestic product (“GDP”), inflation, and unemployment rates. According to the most recent forecast released at the Federal Open Market Committee (“Fed”) meeting on March 20, 2018, GDP is projected to increase 2.7 percent in 2018. The unemployment rate will drop to 3.8 percent in 2018, significantly lower than the Fed’s original 6.7 percent target. Inflation will be 1.9 percent in 2018, excluding the effects on gas and food prices, which are more volatile.

• Buyer Optimism: Growth through acquisition continues to be an important strategy for many companies, as buyers are planning to be more active in 2018. According to the seventh annual Citizens Commercial Banking’s Middle Market M&A Outlook, about three-quarters of buyers reported being currently involved in or open to an acquisition. Buyer confidence is also significantly stronger, heading into 2018 with nearly half of buyers (47 percent) confident that growth through outside investment is an appropriate strategy, versus 30 percent in 2017. Forty percent of buyers are extremely confident that an acquisition will be completed in 2018, compared with just 23 percent in 2017. Generally buyers are looking for well-run businesses to invest in and make a good profit.

• Available Private Equity (“PE”) Capital: According to Bloomberg Businessweek, PE firms are “sitting on a record $963.3 billion of dry powder,” committed capital that they’ve raised, but have yet to invest. PE investors failed to deploy large amounts of capital in 2017, despite raising larger funds, due to a high-priced environment and stiff competition.

The large accumulation of PE cash with more competition has the potential to drive up price tags for investment targets and could lead to an expansion of exit activity in 2018.

PE funds typically have a limited time frame for investing, leading M&A industry experts to anticipate an increase in acquisition activity from these groups.

• Low Interest Rates: Lower rates make it easier to obtain deal financing for buyers without access to PE funds. Despite the fact that the Fed increased the current fed funds rate to

1.5 percent in December 2017, interest rates remain relatively low. Although the new Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, indicated that he will continue to slowly raise rates (2.1 percent in 2018), interest rates will still remain at historic lows.

• High Deal Multiples: Deal multiples vary greatly depending on the size of the business, industry conditions, and political factors (i.e., tax and healthcare reform). Companies in the middle market tend to transact for larger multiples as these entities are expected to experience higher growth and cash flow, and are typically targeted by larger buyers (i.e., public companies) or private equity groups that will pay premiums for synergies.

According to GF Data, the range for market value of invested capital (“MVIC”) divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples was 6.6x to 9.0x for middle market companies in 2017.

• Tax Reform: President Donald Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on December 22, 2017, which includes numerous changes that will significantly impact mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”). One of the most important changes, a reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, will make the United States a more attractive jurisdiction for inbound M&A activity and may increase the value of U.S. businesses. Other tax law changes could result in lower taxes on deals for sellers.

DON’T WAIT TOO LATE! Some business owners make the mistake of waiting too long to sell. Sudden illness, burnout, death of major shareholders, changes in the market, and other negative circumstances could force a sale of a business at a substantial discount. The best time to sell a business at the high end of its valuation is when the company is doing well and major market factors are positive.

It takes an average of 6 to 12 months to complete a sale of a business. Sellers who start now will be able to reap the benefits of the current favorable market.

With assistance from a group of key advisors including CPAs, investment bankers, and attorneys, a business owner can plan a successful exit. Citrin Cooperman provides buy-side and sell-side services to business owners and their companies. With a special focus on middlemarket transactions, our integrated team of transaction, valuation, and tax specialists can provide guidance to sellers throughout the M&A transaction process.

New Rochelle—

The minority-owned firm was founded in 1988 by Geoff Flournoy and Meredith Marshall. The developers think of themselves as innovators in urban housing, according to their website.

Many of the projects are near subways, train stations and bus hubs, such as Caton Flats in Flatbush, The Lafayette in Harlem and The Crossing at Jamaica Station in Queens.

The New Rochelle project is aimed at people who commute to Manhattan, but prefer suburban life. Like many developers in Westchester County, BRP is targeting young single professionals, young couples and older couples who are downsizing.

“To attract this population,” BRP states in its application for tax abatement, “the

WP Hospital—

Longview avenues.

The new health care center would feature five stories of diagnostic and testing services space and four floors reserved as offices for doctors affiliated with White Plains Hospital and the Montefiore Health System.

The proposed building is next door to the hospital’s Center for Cancer Care.

A hospital spokesperson said on May 2 that the proposed hospital office building will have bridge connectivity to the main hospital.

The project would relocate and expand outpatient services currently within the main hospital into the newer space, including ambulatory surgery, endoscopy, interventional radiology, advanced imaging, maternal fetal medicine and specialty physician offices.

William Null, an attorney with Cuddy & Feder and member of the hospital’s executive committee, told the council that the plan is similar to another hospital project the city approved this year at 79 E. Post Road. There, the hospital is renovating a medical office building to relocate some of its

project will need to provide high-quality amenities and apartment finishes, while keeping the rents competitive when compared to similar projects in White Plains, Port Chester, Stamford and NYC.” The 1.17-acre New Rochelle site is squeezed between railroad tracks and Cedar Street, and it has a two-story building that is headquarters to Somnia Inc., an anesthesia services company, that will be torn down.

BRP 10 Commerce LLC bought the Somnia building in February for $5,450,000 from Koch Family LLC and CJE LLC. The proposed apartments would be a halfmile walk to New Rochelle Transportation Center where tenants can take a MetroNorth train to midtown Manhattan, catch a bus or hail a cab. The building will

professional offices from its main facility at 41 E. Post Road, including its family health center and outpatient behavioral health programs.

Both show White Plains Hospital’s focus on “relocating hospital uses from older portions of the complex into new facilities,” Null said.

Adding offices nearby to the hospital also follows a national trend, bringing affiliated doctors to the main hospital campus.

“A lot of different hospitals in the region and throughout the country are building hospital office buildings to bring their physicians onto campus,” Null told the council. “It’s much more efficient.”

The hospital spokesperson characterized the proposed building as the “next phase in our ongoing campus transformation to be able to provide the best care for our community close to home.”

The new building would replace separate structures on two lots that White Plains Hospital has owned for several years. One is a former doctor’s office building, the other an apartment building that the hospital has cleared of tenants.

Humphreys & Partners Urban Architecture has designed a 7-story, 204,976-square-foot building with 172 dwellings. The mix includes 53 studios, 64 one-bedroom and 55 two-bedroom apartments.

Ten percent of the apartments will be rented as affordable units, with rents pegged at 80 percent of the area median income.

Leases will range from $1,463 for a studio to $1,658 for a one-bedroom and $1,860 for a two-bedroom.

Market-rate rents are expected to begin at $1,900 for a studio, $2,150 to $2,300 for a one-bedroom, and $2,350 to $2,700 for a two-bedroom.

tax relief, $1.6 million sales tax exemption and a 20-year payment in lieu of taxes agreement worth $6.2 million.

The current property taxes are $121,279 a year. The tax abatement begins at 90 percent in the first year and ends at 5 percent in year 20, for $9.6 million in total payments and a savings of 39 percent on the full $15.8 million tax rate.

When fully occupied, the apartment building is expected to add nine students to the public school system, costing $175,428 a year, according to an analysis for the city by the National Development Council. That’s 125 percent more than the schools will receive in the first year of the tax abatement deal. But by year three, PILOT revenues for the schools will exceed the estimated education costs.

The city expects to

receive an extra $3 million in taxes and fees over the life of the deal compared with current taxes.

The project is expected to create 329 construction jobs and 5.5 full-time equivalent jobs.

A BRP representative said at the IDA meeting that construction could begin late this year or early next year and will take two years to build.

BRP could soon be doubling down on New Rochelle.

Luiz Aragon, the city’s commissioner of development, said at the meeting that BRP could be coming back with another project. Mayor Noam Bramson referred to a 16-story, 243-apartment building at 500 Main St., at his 2018 state-of-the-city address.

And BRP recently bought the building at 506 Main St. for $1.2 million.

council.

The construction would mark the most significant addition to the hospital since it completed a $60 million project to expand its Center for Cancer Care to 70,000 square feet in 2016.

Last fall, the hospital also completed a $17.5 million renovation of clinical space within the hospital.

440 HAMILTON AVE.

Rose Associates, a longtime residential developer and manager in New York City, presented new plans for apartments at 440 Hamilton Ave., a 350,000-square-foot office

building that long served as an office for AT&T. Last March, the Common Council approved a plan from Long Island developer American Equity Partners I to convert the building into 245 rental apartments with modern amenities and about 1,600 square feet of street-level retail.

With Rose now leading the development, a new architecture firm has reworked those plans and added additional apartment buildings along a 300-spot parking lot on the property that is adjacent to Barker Avenue.

Carl Ordemann, a principal at Perkins Eastman, presented the revised plans to the council.

The project would now build 468 apartment units total, 255 in the 440 Hamilton building and 213 apartment in buildings at the intersection of Barker and Broadway. As per city code, 10 percent of the project’s units would be designated as affordable.

The 440 Hamilton building would be re-skinned with a beige-brick treatment.

Ordemann described the Barker Avenue side as “several buildings pieced together,” with variations

in height and materials to break up the overall massing. The ground-level units on the Barker Avenue side are designed as townhouse and maisonette style units.

A small retail section at the ground floor of the 440 Hamilton building would likely be occupied by a small business and frequented mostly by residents of the buildings, as described by Ordemann.

As the new executive director of the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board (WDB), Thom Kleiner’s goal is to help job seekers and businesses alike. He hopes to assist businesses in attracting, developing and retaining a workforce that meets their needs, now and in the future. Kleiner shares his thoughts on the current labor market and why businesses should get involved with the WDB and Westchester’s Career Centers.

WHAT SKILLS ARE MOST IN DEMAND? WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM EMPLOYERS?

We’re in a technology-driven economy and in many ways every sector is a tech sector. So, digital skills are in demand. The lower Hudson Valley also has high demand for “middle skills” jobs — those that require education beyond high school but not necessarily a bachelor’s degree. But employers of all types are constantly reminding us that, no matter the job, soft skills such as customer service, writing, and the ability to communicate are always needed and often lacking. Our READI program is particularly designed to sharpen these skills.

As the marketplace changes, workers will need to adapt and learn how to transfer their skills to new career areas. That’s where our personalized approach works. The end-to-end career coaching, skill development, job matching and employer outreach ultimately helps to create a skilled workforce.

UNEMPLOYMENT HOVERS NEAR HISTORIC LOWS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR BUSINESSES IN OUR REGION?

While it is true that the unemployment rate is low, there are still plenty of area residents who are ready and willing to work who have not found employment. At the same time, the labor market is tight and employers are competing for talent and wrestling with how best to upskill their current workforce. The good news is, we can help. We are here to support human resources teams. We can help businesses fill jobs from entry level on up; we can help businesses reduce the cost to hire and train new employees; we can help upskill your current workforce. The Westchester-Putnam Career Center Network includes four locations (White Plains, Mount Vernon, Peekskill and Carmel in

Our job seekers run the gamut from recent high school and college grads to those with professional degrees. Not only do we have the candidates, we have job development specialists who will match job seekers to your open positions, factoring in the appropriate education, training and skill level. In fact, our job developers are nationally certified in business engagement practices, which means they have an in-depth understanding of talent management and hiring needs. The Career Center staff also employs the Career Pathways model to guide job seekers to opportunities in growing sectors in the region and identify the training and steps to get started and advance. Their efforts result in motivated, vetted employees for your organization.

HOW DO YOU ADDRESS RAPIDLY CHANGING BUSINESS NEEDS IN TODAY’S MARKETPLACE?

We are well-positioned to quickly adapt to industry needs because we partner with business, education and economic development leaders to collaborate on our shared goals of getting people back to work and meeting employers’ needs. We regularly meet with Business Sector Partners in seven key areas (advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, green, health care, hospitality, not-for-profits and professional services) to identify skill sets and training needed for available jobs. We coordinate with educational institutions and training providers to marry needed skills to training and preparation.

We regard them all as our partners.

And we’ve been successful. Through our Jobs Waiting program, for example, we’ve retrained more than 400 long-term unemployed individuals and placed 300 of them in health care jobs. Under this program, organizations such as White Plains Hospital, ENT and Allergy Associates, Northern Westchester Hospital, Cabrini of Westchester and others have received thousands of dollars in financial incentives to upskill their current workforce and attract new employees via risk-free, paid work tryouts and on-the-job training (OJT), which covers up to 50 percent of new-hire training costs.

Robison, Business of Your Business, and Madison Approach Staffing, among others, have benefitted from OJT through our Career Center. Additionally, when ShopRite Supermarkets, Inc., needed several of their Spanish-speaking employees to obtain food safety training and certification, they benefitted from our customized incumbent worker training program. We facilitated coordination between the supermarket and Westchester Community College, which provided a cost-effective group training in Spanish. We have » THOM KLEINER

Michael Scronic consents to SEC ban in $22 million hedge fund fraud

T

he wages of fraud keep piling up on fake hedge fund manager Michael Scronic.

From 2010 to 2017, his fictitious Scronic Macro Fund raked in millions of dollars and enabled him to live a lavish lifestyle.

In the last year, however, his luck and ill-gotten gains have run out.

First he was arrested for securities fraud and then his wife divorced him. Last month he pleaded guilty in federal court and agreed to forfeit more than $22 million.

Now Scronic has consented to a civil judgment with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that permanently prohibits him from using any “device, scheme or artifice” in the purchase or sale of securities. He may have to pay another penalty, as U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel gave the SEC the option to file an order for “disgorgement of ill-gotten gains.”

Scronic, 46, ran the unregistered fund

from his home — a 6,817-square-foot house and 10-acre property in Pound Ridge — that he rented for $12,275 a month. He charged a 1 percent fee for assets under management and 20 percent of profits, but the profits were a mirage, according to court records.

Scronic had put investors’ money into his personal brokerage account and traded in risky options contracts. He lost money in all but one quarter for five-and-a-half years.

When he told investors last year that the fund had $21.7 million in assets, his brokerage and bank accounts actually had $102,376.

“Despite the fact that the fund continually lost money,” Scronic testified at his change-ofplea hearing last month, “I fraudulently represented to my investors that the fund was making money and that they were generating profits.”

Forty-five people lost more than $22 million on the Scronic Macro Fund. Scronic had spent more than $500,000 a year on personal expenses, including $15,000 a month on credit card charges, multiple beach and country club memberships and a vacation home in Stratton Springs, Vermont.

Seibel is scheduled to sentence Scronic on the criminal charge on July 9. The maximum sentence for the securities fraud charge is 20 years.

AG tries bankruptcy route in DeSilva fraud case

N

Justice Charles D. Wood ruled in January that DeSilva Sr. is clearly the majority owner of Champion and ordered him to pay damages to victims of the scheme. DeSilva’s bankruptcy petition lists 288 creditors and a disputed debt of more than $1 million to Pennymac Loan Services that is secured by his house.

He does not put a number on his total debt, but he claims assets of $758,925, including $750,000 for his home at 249 Country Club Road.

He claims no income from working as a mechanic for Affordable Heating and Cooling of NY Inc., owned by his wife, Lisa.

Lisa DeSilva filed a separate, Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition in March, claiming assets of $769,972 and liabilities of $1.2 million.

She is employed as a bus monitor by the Wappingers Central School District, where she makes $1,300 a month. She shows another $2,500 a month in business income. Besides Affordable Heating, she said she is sole member since February of All Seasons Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning LLC in Danbury, Connecticut.

Schneiderman claims in the adversarial proceeding that DeSilva Sr. has committed fraud, embezzlement and larceny, therefore he should not be allowed to discharge state court judgments. Bankruptcy petitions automatically stop creditors from collecting debts.

Schneiderman is also asking the court to lift the stay of automatic enforcement of the state court actions.

Former heating oil customers also are appealing for justice.

“Mr. DeSilva willfully defrauded me,” Suzanne Lindsay of Granite Springs wrote in a letter to the court. Peekskill City Court awarded her a $2,121 judgment in 2013.

“There is no reason to dismiss what is rightfully owed me,” she says. “A discharge would be punishing the victim and rewarding the perpetrator.”

ew York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is trying to achieve in federal bankruptcy court what he has been unable to achieve in two special proceedings in Westchester Supreme Court: make David DeSilva Sr. pay for stealing money from fuel oil customers.

In January, DeSilva filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in Bankruptcy Court in Poughkeepsie.

Schneiderman recently filed an adversarial action accusing him of embezzlement and asking the court to block DeSilva from discharging debts from fuel oil scams.

DeSilva’s bankruptcy attorney, Gary R. Gjertsen, did not respond to a request for comment.

Schneiderman prosecuted DeSilva, his son David DeSilva Jr., and their Nu Way Fuel & Service Corp. in 2013. The Peekskill firm sold home heating oil contracts that required customers to pay in advance for deliveries. But when customers called for fuel, they received less oil than ordered or none at all.

Nearly 100 customers claimed losses of more than $100,000 for undelivered oil and other services never received.

Schneiderman filed a special proceeding in Supreme Court and won a judgment requiring Nu Way and the DeSilvas to pay $692,879 in restitution, damages and penalties. They were banned from the home fuel oil delivery business unless they posted a $200,000 performance bond.

The DeSilvas, of Hopewell Junction, paid less than $50,000 of the judgment and never posted the performance bond. Even as they were under investigation in 2013, court records show, the DeSilvas and a partner were creating a new company, Champion Fuel & Service Corp. Schneiderman filed a new fraud case last year in Supreme Court, seeking $176,000 in damages and restitution.

he American Cancer Society has sold its office building in White Plains, but a spokesperson says the organization is committed to maintaining a physical presence in Westchester County.

The building that holds the national nonprofit’s Westchester office, 2 Lyon Place, sold earlier in April for $2.5 million, according to county property records.

The buyer of the roughly 17,000-squarefoot building in downtown White Plains is the accounting firm Maier Markey & Justic LLP. Anthony J. Justic, a partner with the

firm, said it will renovate the building and move its offices there by 2019. The four-story building, including ground-floor parking, is at the intersection of Waller Avenue and Lyon Place.

Ashley Engelman, a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society northeast region, confirmed the sale. Engelman said the organization would maintain a presence in Westchester. Information on where the location would be was not yet available.

“We’re moving away from owned property and management where we’re responsible for maintenance, upkeep, etc. in favor of long-term lease options,” Engelman said in an email. “However, our services and programs will be unaffected by the sales process and we’re fully committed to keeping a brick-and-mortar presence in Westchester.”

This news follows an announcement by the YMCA of Central and Northern Westchester that it plans to sell its building on Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains.

YMCA officials said that rising maintenance costs for the structure at 250 Mamaroneck Ave. prompted the decision to list the property for sale.

Cynthia Rubino, president and CEO of the YMCA of Central & Northern Westchester, said competition from health clubs also contributed to the organization’s decision to sell the property.

As for potential buyers, “We’ve had a number of inquiries,” Rubino said, from private developers who may redevelop the site to other nonprofits who would transform the structure into workforce housing.

After the sale of the YMCA building, Rubino said the organization plans to transition into a “nonfacility YMCA” model, which brings services to its members through other non-YMCAowned locations.

In regard to the American Cancer Society building, Justic said Maier Markey & Justic had been searching on and off for a property to purchase for about 10 years. The accounting firm and its affiliated M Group Consulting LLC leases space at 222 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains.

“The location of the building is something that was very attractive to us,” Justic said. “Being more in downtown, where our employees can walk to all the amenities that are available for businesses in White Plains.”

Justic said renovations would focus on the interior of the building, adding modern workspace options, such as f lex space, gathering area and standing desks. The move will bring 95 employees to the building.

persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color through mentorship and educational programming. The initiative is now part of the Obama Foundation and receives funding from New York state.

By the end of the course, each student will have learned the fundamentals necessary to pass an Advanced Placement Computer Science class.

The students come into the PowerLab offices typically one day per week, where they can spend about an hour with a mentor on Google Hangout to go over lessons.

Courses focus on the Java and Python coding languages.

The PowerLab is a community incubator and co-working space started last fall in a 2,700-square-foot former medical space at 45 Ludlow St. The initiative is led by the Yonkers nonprofit Community Governance & Development Council with local marketing agency Defiant Media Group, of which Wilcox is a managing partner, overseeing the facility’s growth.

In December, Purchase College closed its Center for Community & Culture in Yonkers and moved all of its local programming to the PowerLab. The coding course represents the first educational program through that arrangement.

Purchase College provided the laptops and teachers necessary to run the coding program, while PowerLab offers a quiet space to work and receive mentorship.

“We try every other month to spend a Saturday together to just hang out, kick it with them, so they know that they can come to us with any questions,” Wilcox said. “And we could be their example of, ‘You know what, I like what those guys are doing, I want to be like them.’”

For Wilcox, the computer programming courses are a way for PowerLab to offer students in Yonkers a way to pick up vital skills that may not be available in school.

“I don’t want kids that look like me to be missing out on opportunity,” Wilcox said.

“I’m from here, I want the kids from here to succeed.”

Wilcox said the students took quickly to the program, pointing to the nine students still active in the program out of 12 who started in January. He said that’s a retention rate that easily exceeded PowerLab’s initial expectations.

“It’s a tool for success, because they see the demand for it,” Wilcox said of learning computer programming. “But it’s also something they’re just interested in because a lot of kids are into gaming and creating.”

The program will end in May, Wilcox said, and then pick up with additional students next fall. While the pilot program started with a dozen students, he said future classes could reach 35 to 40 students. The goal, he said, is for the student who came through this round of the program to be able to teach the future students.

ASK ANDI

By Andi Gray

Fixing production delays THINGS GOT BEHIND IN PRODUCTION AND WE’RE TRYING TO CATCH UP. CAN YOU GIVE US ANY SUGGESTIONS? Thoughts of the Day: There are lots of contributors to backlog.

Check on re-dos and inventory. Take a look at which equipment is the most behind. Look for efficiencies. Build a realistic production plan. Assign staff to talk to customers.

Figuring out the source of backlog will help you to build a plan of attack to get caught up. Classify reasons for backlog, including transportation, order processing, production cycling, quality, inventory, equipment breakdown setup and retooling and staffing.

While some problems

may be out of your hands, the customer is still probably going to hold you accountable. Make sure your sales and customer-service people understand the time needed to produce and ship.

Inform customers of faster shipping options if the customer wants to pay. Get manual orders converted to online by telling customers how many days they’ll save and offering training on how to automate.

Check if customers understand your production cycles and know when to order to minimize cycle

delays. If you typically run a cycle of production the first week of the month and the customer orders in the second week, that’s an automatic three-week delay built in.

Teach customers how to be smart about when they order.

Waste can slow output significantly. Track daily production errors and reward improvements. Reduce delays by producing less quantity more accurately.

Assess if you’re carrying the right inventory.

Automate communication with suppliers to speed things up. Request immedi-

ate notice of supply delays.

See if supplier lead times are realistically factored into production planning and inventory management.

It’s probably not all of the shop that’s behind.

Figure out your equipment and training priorities.

Have enough of the right equipment on hand? Time to upgrade to faster equipment? Are enough people trained to operate each piece? Have enough qualified maintenance staff?

Order new equipment well before you need it, keeping in mind that you could experience months of delays getting new equipment delivered, set up and in production. If cash flow is a problem, use a leasing program to make the purchase.

Consider going to a second or third shift on equipment in greatest demand.

Cross train additional operators so that equipment doesn’t stand idle when someone is out. Set up training to move people up to more complex equipment.

Look for efficiencies.

Take a look at whether you can pick up capacity by changing the flow of work through the shop. Should you run bigger batches less frequently? Can you repair and retool on weekends or evenings? Are your maintenance people properly trained and do you have enough standard replacement parts on hand? What if you increase the quantity produced and reduce the frequency of set up on complex jobs?

Never plan based on 100 percent production for any piece of equipment. At best you’ll get 80 to 85 percent utilization when factoring in equipment maintenance and repairs, inventory issues and employee downtime for training, sick time and vacations. If you plan on 100 percent, the minute that anything goes wrong you’ll get behind and never catch up because you can never exceed 100 percent production. If you’re at 100 percent, increase capacity now.

Talking customers through backlog is incredibly important. Be upfront with

customers that there will be delays. Find out which customers can be flexible.

Prioritize orders based on quality of clients, not just based on last in first out.

Calculate quality of clients based on profitability, importance to the future of the business and finally on overall volume. Get your sales reps involved in the communication, as they’re the ones selling the orders and making initial promises to customers.

n New York, small businesses are big business. In fact, 99.8 percent of all New York businesses are small businesses, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). That’s one reason why SBA 504 loan guaranties have become so important to Westchester’s economic growth.

They enable a lender to support companies that might be outside the comfort zone of conventional lending standards.

What’s more, 2018 changes to SBA’s Standard Operating Procedures can give your business new advantages — if you navigate them carefully.

SIGNS OF STRENGTH IN THE WESTCHESTER ECONOMY

In Westchester, we’re seeing new vitality in sectors that had pulled back during the Great Recession. Transportation and construction firms have made a strong comeback.

Fitness, child care and health care (especially urgent care) businesses are also capitalizing on the recovery.

Not only are more people looking to start or buy businesses, more are looking to sell them. Many baby boomers, for example, have been delaying retirement. Now they’re moving forward with their succession plans. Their retirements are driving the biggest generational transfer of wealth in history — trillions of dollars, according to State Street Global Advisors. And the new generation is prepping for changes, including growth through startups, acquisitions and franchise expansions.

At Webster Bank, we’ve seen a 50/50 split between startups and acquisitions. And the recent changes to SBA loan rules give new impetus to these plans.

SOME KEY ADVANTAGES OF AN SBA LOAN

A common misconception is that the Small Business Administration provides these loans.

Actually, it offers a guaranty to cover a significant portion of the debt. That’s crucial for entrepreneurs who come to a bank without much liquidity. With an SBA guaranty, the bank assumes less risk. It can take on a loan that might otherwise fall outside its lending parameters.

Another consideration: If you’ve bought real estate in New York state, you’re painfully familiar with the Mortgage Recording Tax — roughly 2 percent of the deal in Westchester County. By using an SBA loan guaranty, 40 percent of that tax is exempt.

2018 SBA RULES: MAKING LOANS EASIER TO OBTAIN AND REPAY

Where once you needed to put down 25 percent in equity to acquire a business with an SBA loan, you now may need only 10 percent. And where previously an SBA loan guaranty required a 20-year amortization, you can now amortize over 25 years.

Both these benefits allow businesses to keep more working capital on hand for day-today business operations.

The 25-year amortization can also enable

SBA loan changes create new opportunities for Westchester businesses the bank to offer a fixed rate, rather than one that’s reset every five years. That gives business owners more control over their lending costs.

Your SBA loan is just one factor in the economic ecology of your business. From cash flow concerns to payroll systems to financial

THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH AN SBA-PREFERRED LENDER

Before you approach any lender, of course, you’ll need a well-organized business plan and projection plan (and for family businesses, a succession plan). SBA loans are no different from conventional loans from that standpoint.

While many banks can offer SBA loan guaranties, not all of them offer the same level of lending expertise and service. When time is of the essence — and when isn’t it in business? — an SBA Preferred Lender can cut three weeks off your timetable. SBA Preferred Lenders can make decisions in-house, rather than shipping them out to headquarters for approval.

Something else to take into account:

Where once you needed to put down 25 percent in equity to acquire a business with an SBA loan, you now may need only 10 percent.

risk management, a firm needs to optimize efficiencies everywhere possible to get the full benefit of growth. When your lender understands your company’s big picture and has the services in place to support it, you can be better positioned to capitalize on opportunity.

National Small Business Week spotlights America’s key driver of economic growth. SBA loan guaranties are making that growth possible for more enterprises, all over the country.

And in Westchester County, you can see that opportunity in action.

ven if not everyone has a will, most people understand why they should. But knowing how a business will go on without an owner or a partner can be just as important.

Unfortunately, many business owners neglect this important task.

A buy-sell agreement, despite the name, is not a mechanism for selling a business. It is a contract among the owners of a business or between the owners and the entity itself, which sets out the rules for handling certain specific, future events — usually an owner’s departure, planned or unplanned.

The agreement governs how to handle the interests of proprietors, partners or shareholders in the event that they can no longer work due to circumstances such as disability, retirement or death.

While it is most often used in partnerships, privately owned companies or closely held corporations, a buy-sell agreement can be useful even for sole proprietors if the owner intends for a key employee or family member to take over the business one day.

Business owners gain a variety of benefits from entering into a buy-sell agreement. First, it can establish in advance a fair formula for valuing a share of the business. If one of the owners wishes to leave and the remaining owner or owners wish to buy the departing individual’s share, they will have competing interests regarding valuation in the moment. If they agree in advance, it is less likely anyone will feel unfairly treated.

Business co-owners may also wish to ensure that no one sells their stake in the business to a third party who

Rebecca Pavese

is an undesirable or impractical partner. A typical buy-sell agreement gives the business, the owners or both a right of first refusal on certain proposed transfers of a stake in the enterprise. This means owners are more likely to keep control of the business, even if an individual with a large stake chooses to leave.

Similarly, an agreement could stipulate that stakeholders in a closely held business must sell their shares back to the business when they exit.

Buy-sell agreements can also be useful in creating liquidity in the event of an owner’s departure, especially if it is unexpected. The agreement can ensure the withdrawing owner — or a deceased owner’s heirs — will have a market for a stake in the business that might not otherwise exist.

ELEMENTS OF A GOOD AGREEMENT

Drafting a buy-sell agreement early in the life of a business is important because it allows partners or co-owners to discuss contingencies such as a stakeholder’s death, disability or retirement. It also creates a way to guard against possible but less certain future scenarios such as a serious argument between stakeholders, an owner’s divorce or bankruptcy, or a partner using a stake in the business as collateral and then defaulting on the loan.

By the time any of these situations occur, emotions are likely to run high. Setting up a plan in advance can not only safeguard the business but also reduce stress on owners during potentially trying circumstances.

Revisiting business succession plans every three to five years is a good idea,

though owners should also reassess any time the business experiences a major change, such as rapid growth, the addition or departure of an owner or major stakeholder, or substantial changes to the business model.

When business owners create — and subsequently revisit — a buy-sell agreement, they should gather a team of professionals to help.

This team should include an experienced lawyer, an accountant, a tax expert and, potentially, a valuation professional. (Sometimes a single individual may fulfill more than one of these roles.) Depending on the circumstances, owners may also want to involve their personal estate planning professional or financial planner.

A valuation professional is a good addition to the team because valuing the business is both a crucial part of a good buy-sell agreement and a complicated undertaking.

Some buy-sell agreements include a specific formula to determine the value of a stake in the business. Others simply include a clause specifying that a valuation expert will assess the business at the appropriate time when an owner leaves.

Regardless of the formula or expert involved, the most important thing is for owners to agree on a valuation method in advance.

In addition to specifying a valuation method, a buy-sell agreement should include rules for who can buy and sell stakes in the business and under what circumstances.

For instance, the founder of a family business may want to ensure that the enterprise stays partly or completely in the hands of family members or winds up there in the

future. In many cases, a purchaser will be the other owners, the business itself or some combination of these two.

Because issues like death, divorce or bankruptcy cannot always be anticipated, rules about funding are also an important part of a buysell agreement. Agreements should specify how the business will fund a buyout of a departing owner. Specificity allows the business to plan realistically for future obligations. Requiring an immediate lump-sum buyout can make buying back an interest challenging or even impossible for some businesses, so many agreements provide for a down payment followed by installments over a few years at a reasonable rate of interest.

In some businesses, especially partnerships, co-owners purchase life insurance policies on one another — or the business purchases policies insuring key personnel — in order to fund buyouts of an owner’s heirs in the case of his or her unexpected death.

This technique can become

expensive with larger numbers of shareholders, so it is not right for every business, but it is a common way to fund a buy-sell agreement among a few key individuals.

Regardless of the formula or expert involved, the most important thing is for owners to agree on a valuation method in advance.

While buy-sell agreements primarily address nontax goals, owners should keep tax obligations in mind when creating them. Funding concerns extend to how the business will pay the Internal Revenue Service, not only the seller.

The best buy-sell agreement is one that must be tailored to fit particular business needs and long-term goals.

With some professional help and foresight, business owners can avoid unpleasant surprises when, inevitably, one of their number goes his or her own way.

Industrial site owners settle environmental testing costs

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he owners of an industrial site in Cornwall, Orange County, have agreed to reimburse the state Department of Environmental Conservation for most of the costs of testing for contaminants that were ultimately found to be within acceptable levels.

Last year, the state sued Moodna Creek Development Ltd., Cornwall Warehousing Inc. and SR II Inc. in federal court for the costs it incurred in assessing hazardous wastes at 2 Mill St. The DEC claimed it had spent $173,692, from 1988 through 2017, to determine the risks that the contaminants posed to people and the environment.

Isaac Landau of Monroe and Sandor Landau of

Brooklyn, the principals in the companies, agreed on April 11 to pay $110,000 — 63 percent — of the state’s costs.

The state agreed to release them and their companies from liability.

The 70-acre property on Moodna Creek includes light industrial buildings, warehouses and two lagoons used for storing hazardous wastes.

Textiles were manufactured on the site from the 1820s to the 1990s. Majestic Weaving Co., for instance, made wool carpets until it went out of business around 1993 and,

according to the state, had discharged hazardous chemicals into the lagoons.

The Landaus have had interests in the site since the late 1980s, the state has said.

In the 1980s the federal Environmental Protection Agency detected toluene, a solvent that can cause brain damage, in the lagoons. DEC detected high levels of copper, zinc, iron and chromium. It found leaking drums and torn liners in the lagoons and monitoring wells that were in poor condition.

The DEC had initially determined that the site “posed a very great threat to the environment.” In 2014, the state concluded that the levels of contamination in the lagoons were acceptable for commercial or industrial uses.

“The extent of testing was grandiose,” the Landaus argued three months ago in their answer to the DEC’s lawsuit, and the costs were “unwarranted and/or excessive.”

Adding social sports to your company's game plan

T

hink sports leagues are just for kids? Not so! Adding corporate social sports to a firm’s game plan can promote a healthier workplace, build camaraderie and boost morale. When I started Yorkville Sports Association (YSA) in 1978, we had eight softball teams. I took out an ad in a community newspaper to increase business and companies started to come out of the woodwork looking to form teams.

By 1998, YSA organized and serviced sports leagues for 500 corporations and their employees, including softball, touch football, volleyball and basketball leagues. We began our Westchester division four years ago with seven teams and today service 50 teams in the county. YSA is continually adding new sports to its league program, including bocce ball, which is sure to be hot this summer, and dodge ball, which will come next. Clearly, corporate social sports are filling a need.

Throughout the 40 years that I have been facilitating corporate sports leagues, the feedback has remained the same. Employees who participate in the programs report they look forward to the mental and physical break that playing a sport gives them.

Companies tell us camaraderie and communication between employees at all levels has improved.

THE ULTIMATE IN-HOUSE NETWORKING TOOL

No matter how open an office floor plan is, it's likely that employees in different departments don't know each other. Out on the field, while the focus is on the game, social interactions and connections come naturally. Employees of all levels and departments get to know each other and share ideas. Whether it's in a car pool on the way to the game, while playing and cheering

each other on, or at a local pub having a beer after the game, employees tend to mix and mingle in a relaxed fashion when they play on social sports leagues together, which often translates into better working relationships.

Team sports also encourage people to find ways to work together more effectively. There is a layer of accountability that develops when people participate in a sports team. Team members rely on each other to show up for games and give it their best.

Those who consistently make their best efforts are more likely to build closer relationships with colleagues.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

It’s no surprise that staying active is beneficial for both physical and mental health. A 2016 Nielsen Company report revealed that adults in the United States typically devoted 10 hours and 39 minutes each day to consuming media.

That number was a dramatic one-hour increase from the previous year. Inactivity is linked with a higher obesity risk and a higher risk of certain diseases, but many people struggle to find an activity they can enjoy and stick to.

That's where sports leagues come in.

While the focus is on fun, the physical and mental health benefits are undeniable. In fact, some companies whose employees play in corporate leagues report a drop in sick days. Stress relief is also a factor for those with high-pressure jobs.

Sports provide a break from the demands on employees because while playing they think about the game, putting work on the back burner. It's simply a great way to unwind.

AN INVESTMENT IN THE BOTTOM LINE

A 2016 U.S. Chamber of Commerce report posits

that a well-designed corporate wellness program has a return on investment over time of $1.50 to $3 for every dollar spent on the program.

This includes health care cost savings and increased productivity.

Then there are the less tangible benefits a business will accrue when it sets up a sports team. When employees start having more fun together, they are more likely to feel connected to their workplace and come to believe it is a great place to work. Putting a pool table in the break room is a start, but only a couple of people are involved at a time in a game of pool. Establishing a sports team allows many people to participate at once and is a group experience that helps create a fun office culture.

And let's face it; when a company is seen as a fun-loving one, recruiting top talent is easier.

Whether it's facilitating interoffice networking and making the office more cohesive, offering employees an opportunity to be more active, or increasing the office’s fun factor, creating a corporate sports team is worth it. Isn't it time for your office to invest in some fun?

Yorkville Sports Association (YSA) is a leader in facilitating corporate recreational sports leagues throughout New York City and Westchester County.

Based in Yorktown Heights, YSA manages all components of organizing team leagues including assigning teams to appropriate skill levels, creating season-long schedules and providing game officials.

YSA is proud to contribute to organizations that promote health, fitness education and the well-being of youth and vulnerable populations and a portion of all league fees are allocated to support several nonprofit organizations such as the Special Olympics.

Construction on the future Lowe’s store in Yorktown.

Photo by Aleesia Forni.

The Yorktown Planning Board approved the $60 million project in November 2015.

Costco’s project hit a snag when its on-site gas station was strongly opposed by independent gas station owners in Yorktown. Yorktown Smart Growth, a residents development watchdog group, Yorktown Gas Mart Inc. and Quick Stop Central Ave. Inc. filed a lawsuit against town officials and Breslin Realty Development claiming the big-box store would hurt area gas station owners and sought to have the town’s approval of the project overturned.

After years of delays and roadblocks, Costco ultimately pulled out of the project in 2016.

While the Costco project spent years in the planning stages, the Lowe’s development was approved just three months after it was proposed to the planning board.

The Yorktown Lowe’s would mark the Mooresville, North Carolina, chain’s second facility in Westchester County. Last summer, a 70,000-square-foot Lowe’s opened at Ridge Hill in Yonkers.

“We decided to add a new store in Yorktown because we believe it’s a great location to provide residential and professional customers everything they need to improve or maintain their homes,” said Ashley N. Glasser, manager of corporate communications for Lowe’s Cos.

Lowe’s home improvement center could open its doors in Yorktown in the coming year.

Construction crews are continuing to complete site work on the property at 3200 Crompond Road. Once completed, the 25-acre site in Yorktown Heights will be home to a 124,000-square-foot Lowe’s and three other business, ranging from up to 4,000 square feet to 15,000 square feet.

“We’ve done a lot of underground work to make way for the foundations that have to go in,” said Wilbur F. Breslin, CEO of the shopping center’s developer, Breslin Realty Development Corp.

“We’re on schedule to deliver the pad site to Lowe’s in July, at which point they will build the building.”

Breslin added that Lowe’s “should be open by the early part of next year” and said the shopping center’s other tenants have yet to be selected.

The Garden City-based developer broke ground on the roughly $70 million project, which is just off the intersection of the Taconic State Parkway and Route 202, in October of last year.

The long-vacant site was formerly occupied by the Yorktown Country Inn, which closed more than 20 years ago. The property was last used as a county-run homeless shelter.

To make way for the new development, the company demolished the site’s existing dilapidated and graffiti-covered structures.

An October groundbreaking for the roughly $70 million project marked a milestone in what has been a long road for Breslin’s company, which has been in talks to develop the property since 2009.

The development replaces a previously approved 151,092-square-foot Costco and a members-only gas fueling station on the site.

Million Air unveils new hangar at Westchester County Airport

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

M

illion Air unveiled on May 2 its new 52,000-square-foot hangar, the first phase of the renovation and expansion of its corporate aviation complex at Westchester County Airport.

“Our job at Million Air is to really drive that first impression of Westchester,” said Million Air CEO Roger Woolsey. “Our job is to just make sure that we greet the market makers of this community in a great way.”

The spacious hangar features 28-foot doors and floors that are heated with a radiant heat system that allows temperatures to be maintained for aircraft and pilots. The hangar also includes eight customizable offices with storage space.

With the completion of the hangar, Million Air’s 26-acre corporate aviation complex now has 84,000 square feet of hangar space and more than 7 acres of ramp space.

Woolsey said the new hangar is a win-win for the county.

“The corporations that bring their airplanes here, they’re really what’s driving the community,” he said. “They’re driving the local economy. They’re adding jobs.

The recently completed building is part of Million Air’s $80 million expansion and renovation project at the airport. Adjacent to the hangar, construction is underway on Million Air’s new 18,000-square-foot terminal. That two-story terminal will include seating areas, wood and rock features, stone-framed dual fireplaces and wood beam ceilings. The terminal will also feature conference rooms, a pilot lounge with sleep rooms, a barista-staffed coffee bar, an indoor valet area and additional parking.

The terminal is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

“That is really where we’re going to be greeting the customers,” he said.

Million Air operates luxury fixed-base operation terminals across four continents.

The Houston-based company also provides aircraft charter, management, sales and aircraft maintenance.

The county Board of Legislators unanimously approved a 30-year ground lease agreement with Million Air last year, allowing the company to operate both a light aviation facility and a full-service heavy aircraft fixed-base operation, one that will provide a range of services including fueling and general aviation maintenance.

In October, the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency approved the issuance of tax-exempt bonds for the company, lowering the project’s financing costs.

Million Air’s plans for the airport faced some pushback from community members who worried it would lead to an increase in landing and takeoff noise. However, Woolsey said the opposite will be true.

“We’ve moved 13 aircraft into this hangar that used to fly into and out of this community on an empty basis,” he said. “The access cost was very high to these corporations, because they had to keep their planes in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, fly the aircraft in empty, pick up their executives and go back out. We’ve been able to take 13 aircraft in and stop that.”

Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, said Million Air is a significant economic contributor to the community. Along with the company’s investment in the airport, Gordon said area businesses could also see a boost because of the renovations and expansion.

“It’s the multiplier effect,” she said.

Iona, New Rochelle reach agreement for campus expansion following legal dispute

The agreement comes about a year-and-ahalf after Iona College first announced plans for a $17.5 million expansion of its Hagan Hall School of Business facility.

Those plans have been on hold amid a land-use dispute between the city and college. Iona sued the city in March 2017, claiming the city had improperly blocked its expansion plans. Iona had claimed that the city misled the public with a confusing notice for a public hearing on the law. The college also accused the city’s corporate counsel, who had once worked for Iona, of unethically using privileged information against the college.

That lawsuit was dismissed by Westchester Supreme Court Acting Justice Susan Cacace in July, who said in its “rush to the courthouse,” the school had failed to exhaust administrative remedies.

The college alleged the city acted improperly when it added an amendment to its city zoning that requires a special permit to merge parcels. The college had planned to merge several parcels on Beechmont Drive and Montgomery Place for the development. Iona sued after the merger was rejected.

The agreement between the city and college addresses the parcel issue. The announcement notes that any future parcel agreements will require a special permit. It also promises an expedited environmental review process for the expansion to Hagan Hall, as well as an additional expansion to Spellman Hall.

The city will also review the environmental impact of all other potential projects on the campus as part of the Hagan Hall review.

In exchange, the college has agreed to discontinue any pending litigation. Iona will also create a “Town-Gown” committee with city and college officials to discuss “shared interests for the community, the college and the city.”

Officials from both institutions praised the deal.

Mayor Noam Bramson said the city wants Iona to be a “thriving college that grows in a fashion consistent with our community’s planning principles and that continues to maintain a mutually respectful and supportive relationship with its neighbors.”

Iona President Joseph E. Nyre added that he was pleased the college could move forward with its expansion plans.

“Seeking input from our neighbors and the community has always been important to the college,” Nyre said. “We remain committed to being good neighbors to our good neighbors.”

The plans for Hagan and Spellman halls are in review by the city’s planning board.

New Rochelle IDA extends tax abatement deal ©Myers Creative Imaging

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency has amended a tax abatement deal to protect itself against the possibility that a portion of the $48 million 70 Nardozzi Place project isn’t built.

Simone Development Cos. in the Bronx and G&S Investors in Manhattan are building a $22.6 million public works facility for the city at Nardozzi Place. They also have approvals to build a health club and self-storage facility at the site and for a 25-year tax relief deal for the commercial elements.

Now the self-storage facility is in doubt, and if it is not built, an attorney for the developers said in a letter to the IDA, they would not achieve the financial benefits they expected under the original payment in lieu of taxes agreement.

Part of that PILOT agreement was designed to cover $2.6 million in capital costs for the public works facility, Luiz Aragon, commissioner of development, told the IDA board on April 25. If the storage facility is not built, the city would be on the hook for another $700,000.

He said extending the PILOT by five years would enable the city to recapture the $700,000.

The amended PILOT would cost the developers $1.6 million over 30 years, saving $9.2 million on the estimated full tax rate of $10.8 million.

The city plans to lease the 130,000-squarefoot ground floor for $260,000 a year for 45 years, for offices and a garage.

LA Fitness will lease 37,000 square feet on the second level. The proposed self-storage facility would be in an adjacent, five-story structure.

The city also has started an eminent domain process to take the Auto Sunroof property at 54 Nardozzi Place, for more offices and a fueling station.

Charles B. Strome III, the city manager and IDA chair, said a couple of factors make a five-year extension acceptable.

One, the city is saving about 30 percent on construction costs by having the developers build the public works facility. Two, the commercial elements of the project will not burden the school system with more students.

Ivar Hyden, vice chairman, said 30-year PILOTS are not policy, but the arrangement works because of the public works facility.

“We’re not going to be giving out 30-year PILOTS on residential buildings,” he said.

The board unanimously approved the

30-year PILOT resolution. It is meant as an alternative to the 25-year tax abatement deal, only if the self-storage facility is not built.

“We’re still trying to get the self-storage deal done,” said Peter J. Wise, the developers’ attorney.

“So far, it just hasn’t gelled.”

WE SAVE WATER

OUR MEMBERS PREVENT SPILLS AND BRING CLEAN WATER TO YOUR TAP

Our members share concerns for conservation.

It bothers us that up to 130 million gallons of New Jersey’s drinking water are wasted every day due to aging underground pipes.

WE PROMOTE CONSERVATION. Local 825 Operating Engineers are trained to install water infrastructure efficiently and without impacting the environment. In New York, we are part of a team that will save 138 million gallons of drinking water every day, delivering clean water to millions of homes throughout the region.

We believe in conservation and renewal that will only come with a commitment to infrastructure upgrades, before a serious or prolonged water shortage forces us to act.

the parking lot.

The parking structure would be six-levels, with spaces for residents, the retail component and 85 spots reserved for AT&T employees next door at 400 Hamilton. The parking would also feature a “green wall” on its western face, with ivy and other plants growing year-round to help hide the structure from the site of nearby residents.

White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach expressed some concern that the lack of retail on the project could prevent the buildings from better engaging the street, particularly on the Hamilton Avenue side. City officials have stated several times that they’d like the street there to become more walkable and lively.

David Steinmetz, an attorney representing the developer, said that’s a shared goal.

“Part of our desire as the development team, our client’s desire, is working with the city to try to create some activity along Hamilton and stimulate the area that is now largely business-oriented,” said Steinmetz, a partner at Zarin & Steinmetz.

Ordemann said the project would include a landscaped outdoor terrace that could help add life to the street.

Rose Associates has completed more than $2 billion in projects in the last five years and manages the operations of more than 14,000 apartment units.

Company President and CEO Amy Rose first said her company would be involved in developing the 440 Hamilton project in December during an interview with the New York Post after she first took on the chief executive role.

The project represents the first for the firm outside New York City in decades, the Post reported, but Rose told the paper the development is part of a plan to target transit-oriented sites in the suburbs.

“We’re looking up and down train lines in places like New Jersey and Yonkers,” Rose told the Post.

Steinmetz said the development team would file documents for a site plan application and special permit with the city that week.

In a smaller project a block over, the owners of the City Center shopping complex, Kite Realty Group, briefed the council on plans to upgrade a pedestrian plaza on the east side of the property.

The plaza, between Main Street and the City Center parking garage, often serves as a drop-off and pick-up area for the center’s shops.

Gavin Thomas, a senior development manager for Kite, said the company’s goal is to “create a real sense of place and makes it feel like another outdoor room that can be used a majority of the year.”

The update, if approved, would include new seating areas, a fountain with a waterfall feature, a small stage for a summer concert series and a dog park area for residents. It will also add a small retail kiosk space that could feature small, grab-and-go type business, such as a coffee shop.

BRIEFLY SUNY NEW PALTZ COMPLETES $1.4M SOLAR ENERGY PROJECT

SUNY New Paltz has unveiled a $1.37 million energy system that includes rooftop solar panels and battery storage.

The new array of photovoltaic panels on the college’s Elting Gymnasium and nearby Sojourner Truth Library will generate 217-kilowatt hours to support the battery system. The storage allows SUNY New Paltz to store solar power for emergencies and times of peak energy demand, the school said in a press release.

The project is led by the New York Power Authority. Gil C. Quiniones, president and CEO of the White Plains-based state utility, said the type of microgrid technology the project represents “is becoming increasingly important as we look to create a more robust and resilient power grid throughout New York.”

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo praised the project as part of a goal to reach 1,500 megawatts of energy storage capacity in New York state by 2025.

The school drew funding from a range of sources to finance the energy system. More than $580,000 in funding came from the state BuildSmart NY program, an initiative to increase energy efficiency in public buildings. Another $272,000 came from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s NY-Sun solar development arm. Central Hudson Gas & Electric, the college’s power provider, pitched in an additional $189,000.

The remaining costs were covered by NYPA and will be repaid by the college.

NYPA, NYSERDA and the Electric Power Research Institute, a California energy think tank, will utilize the project to research additional technical and economic benefits of solar and storage systems.

TAUK KITCHEN AND BAR OPENS IN ARMONK

Tauk Kitchen and Bar has opened its doors at 402 Main St. in Armonk.

The beach-theme restaurant, owned by Frances Leone, was inspired by his childhood vacations in Montauk.

“I wanted to bring my own expression of Montauk’s vibe to Armonk for everyone to enjoy,” Leone said.

The restaurant offers outdoor seating for warmer months and features Montauk seafood, reputably sourced meats, local produce and craft cocktails and beers. The restaurant’s chef, Sean Fitzgerald, has held tenures at Purdys Farmer and the Fish and Xaviers X20 in Yonkers.

The menu offers options, including salads, sandwiches, off-the-boat seafood, hand-blended burgers and steaks. Other dishes include lobster rolls, wings and mini-tacos, along with gluten-free, vegan and allergy-sensitive options.

The bar offers guests the option of drinks that pair with the chef’s selections.

The restaurant will be open seven days per week for dinner and will open for breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch in the coming weeks.

GINSBURG TOPS OFF PEEKSKILL TOWNHOMES

Ginsburg Development Cos. held a “topping off” ceremony April 19 at Gateway Townhomes, marking the completion of the final floor and roof of the building at 700 Main St. in Peekskill.

The development includes 16 rowhouse condominiums, with triplex two- and three-bedroom homes ranging in size from 1,649 square feet to 1,915 square feet.

Fourteen of the townhomes will be sold at market rate prices, starting at $325,000.

Two units will be offered as affordable workforce housing for those making up to 80 percent of the Westchester median income. Those sales prices are yet to be determined.

“We’re honored to play a role in Peekskill’s

revitalization, especially at a site which is, quite literally, the gateway to the city,” said principal Martin Ginsburg. “Gateway Townhomes offers the convenience of downtown living at a reasonable price for new construction condominiums in Westchester County.”

Ginsburg was joined at the groundbreaking

by Peekskill Mayor Andre K. Rainey and other local dignitaries.

“This collaborative effort with GDC is an example of what the city and our community can look forward to,” Rainey said.

“Going forward, we strive to always deliver more than expected for the people in this wonderful community.”

The first floor of each townhome features an entrance hall, a home office or guest room and a two-car garage. Second floors consist of

the living and dining rooms with eat-in kitchens. Top floors feature two or three bedrooms.

Sales are expected to begin this summer, the company said.

The Valhalla-based developer is also constructing another project in Peekskill, the $64.5 million mixed-use development, Fort Hill. That project, which is being built on the site of a former convent and Revolutionary War lookout in Peekskill, will include 178 rental apartments, a hotel and a restaurant.

The townhomes will share a shuttle bus to the Peekskill Metro-North station with Fort Hill development. For more information ,visit gdchomes.com or contact gateway@ gdchomes.com, or call 914-739-1590.

Pace students carried buckets of water on their heads during the mile-long walk.

PACE STUDENTS WALK FOR WATER Pace University in Pleasantville hosted the Westchester Walk for World Water in partnership with the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation student ambassadors.

Participating were more than 100 Pace students, staff, faculty, community members and students from local high schools, including Bedford, Eastchester, Irvington, Kent Place, Scarsdale, Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown and The Hackley School.

Participants walked one mile with large buckets of water on their heads to

demonstrate the trek that many women around the world make each day to collect water.

Michelle D. Land, director of programming at Pace’s Dyson College Institute for Sustainability and the Environment, said, “Photos or stories of women and children throughout the developing world traveling miles for water, often of terrible quality, is not enough. Our water walk helps Pace students briefly experience what it is like to have to do this every day.”

SCHOOLHOUSE THEATER SPOTLIGHTS AWARD The Schoolhouse Theatre & Arts Center’s founder Lee Pope was among those receiving honors at ArtsWestchester’s 2018 Arts Award Luncheon at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. The theater put the event in the spotlight with a page of photos on its website, schoolhousetheater.org.

Pope founded the theater in 1983 by transforming an old elementary school building in Croton Falls into a visual arts center. The classrooms became galleries and studio spaces and, in 1986, performances began when Jack Palance’s daughter Brooke and actor Michael Wilding opened in “Bedroom Farce.”

Other ArtsWestchester awards recipients were the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Pocantico Center Presenting Series; LaRuth Gray; Deborah and Alan Simon; Will Crutchfield; The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College; Play Group Theatre; LifeTime Arts; and photographer Ocean Morisset.

Lisa Daniel

Ripco Real Estate, which has about 70 brokers in its Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island and New Jersey offices, has hired Lisa Daniel to expand its presence in Westchester and Fairfield counties.

Daniel has been with Goldschmidt & Associates, which has offices in Scarsdale and Greenwich. In addition to handling retail space, Daniel has been involved in office and medical leasing.

Daniel said, “I am eager to assist the company in expanding its presence here in the region and looking forward to capitalizing on its brand recognition to continue to best represent clients, existing and new, achieve their business goals.”

The PCSB Bank team of walkers included 470 employees, families, friends and a few family pets.

CLEANING UP DURING THE CLEANUP

Yorktown Heights-based PCSB Bank assembled a team of 470 walkers for the April 22 Heart Walk to benefit the American Heart Association.

The effort resulted in $56,554 being raised.

Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and CEO of the bank, served as 2018 Heart Walk chair. “This annual event provides a very important opportunity for PCSB Bank employees, as well as our families and friends, to raise money to combat heart disease – which impacts so many lives in our communities,” said Roberto.

The association’s goal is to produce a 20 percent improvement in cardiac health in the U.S. while reducing the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020.

When you volunteer to do a good thing by cleaning up trash along a road you don’t expect to be rewarded by finding a fortune. After all, doing a good thing is reward enough. Nevertheless, the $50 they found certainly seemed like a fortune to the children who participated in a cleanup along Route 304 in New City as part of the Keep Rockland Beautiful campaign on Earth Day. They found the money while helping beautify the area between Tucker Road and Third Avenue. The cash was scattered along a fence and it was divided among the children.

The cleanup effort was organized by New City Chiropractic Center to honor its 30th anniversary. The team was led by Drs. Michael Cocilovo and Gil Rodriguez. It included Rockland County Legislator Lon Hofstein and five adult patients and four children.
