White Plains collects some IDA development tax breaks for taxpayers BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
T
o critics, a lot of what Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) do is little more than corporate welfare. In fact, that phrase is used in a recent announcement stating that state Sen. Shelley Mayer (D-Westchester) and Sen. James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) have introduced legislation in Albany designed
to “increase accountability and transparency in the IDA process, rein in corporate welfare and reduce opportunities for conflicts of interest.” While expressing support for economic development and IDAs, Mayer said, “I am committed to ensuring that when tax dollars are spent, through expenditures or financing, they are spent wisely and transparently and that communities receive the maximum benefits from investments.”
BANK SAYS RAPPER DMX’S MOUNT KISCO PROPERTY PART OF BANKRUPTCY SCHEME
One community, which has been taking concrete steps to preserve the flow of funds into its coffers when the Westchester County IDA gives breaks to developers is White Plains. Sales tax exemptions and mortgage abatements are among the most common benefits the Westchester IDA provides and have been seemingly routinely granted to developers of projects in White Plains.

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com A BANK IS QUESTIONING THE legitimacy of a bankruptcy case concerning the house of Tashera Simmons and Earl Simmons — the latter better known as the rapper DMX — that is their seventh bankruptcy in 10 years. Compass Bank claims that the couple defaulted on a mortgage on a Mount Kisco house and owes more than $900,000. But bankruptcy automatical-
ly “stays,” or freezes, most creditors from collecting debts. Compass alleges that the couple has filed multiple bankruptcy petitions to delay a foreclosure sale of their house, granted by Westchester Supreme Court in 2016. “Access to the automatic stay is a privilege,” Compass states in its pleading. “The debtor has abused that privilege and can no longer be permitted to obstruct Compass’ » RAPPER DMX

L
uiz Aragon, development commissioner for New Rochelle, told the Westchester County Association’s (WCA) Third Annual Real Estate Summit on May 14 that there’s a big reason that developers have been attracted to his city. “What we have to offer is certainty. I can guarantee a developer that if they come to New Rochelle with a project that fits the parameters that we’ve set, they will get site-plan approval not in six months, not in 10 years, but in 90 days.” For those doubters in the audience at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown, Aragon was quick to add, “Actually, our average has been 60 days from submission to approval. It seems the taller the building, the faster it goes.” Aragon was on a panel that reviewed what were classified as transformational projects in Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Mike Oates, president and CEO of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC), was its moderator. Aragon told the estimated 300 guests at the breakfast gathering that there are 11 active construction sites in New Rochelle, with 27 projects approved. He said the Planning Board was expected to approve more at its May 28 meeting. He said there are three major

areas on which they’ve been concentrating: the overlay zone downtown covering roughly 300 acres, Memorial Highway which is going to be repurposed into a linear park and Pratt Landing on the waterfront. Memorial Highway is a spur off Interstate 95 at exit 16. It was supposed to be a shortcut to the Cross County Parkway and Hutchinson River Parkway but was never completed. “That is a highway to absolutely nowhere,” Aragon said. “It dead-ends in a residential neighborhood and creates all kinds of problems.” He explained that motorists wind up using local streets as shortcuts to reach the parkways and that turning it into a linear park will not only solve the traffic issue, but add green space and “virtually connect the poorest neighborhood in our city to the services of the downtown.” William Mooney Jr., president and CEO of the WCA, introduced Joan McDonald, Westchester County’s director of operations, who said that development incentives offered by the county’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) which she chairs have helped bring about the current positive climate for development. “We don’t compete with the municipality IDAs like New Rochelle, Yonkers and Peekskill,” she said. “But right now, for the first four months of 2019, we have
given preliminary approvals for five major projects representing a total private investment of $1.76 billion. They’ll create 3,200 construction jobs and 2,100 residential units in the county.” McDonald said the county is undertaking a housing needs assessment where every municipality’s current inventory and housing needs will be cataloged. “We’ll be rolling that out in the next couple of months and we will be sitting down with developers, our not-for-profit entities and the municipalities throughout the county to get feedback and move forward.” Guy Leibler, president of Simone Healthcare Development and a member of the transformational projects panel, reviewed the project at 104 Corporate Park Drive in Harrison where Simone is working with Montefiore and the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) to create a center devoted to pediatric and teen health. “We will bring world-class medicine for pediatrics through teens into this building with a number of sub-specialties,” he said. “This is also an opportunity for CHAM to extend its relationship and expertise in the county and extend and leverage its partnership with White Plains Hospital and Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, which are both members of the Montefiore family.” Phil Royle, director of development and operations for
LEGOLAND New York, described the theme park being built in Goshen in Orange County. “We are moving 22 million cubic yards of earth. We have 521 acres of land. We’re building our theme park on 150 acres of land. To give you some comparison, Disney’s Magic Kingdom is 110 acres ... so it is a little bigger.” He said things will change overnight in Orange County when the park opens, attracting 1.5 million to 2.5 million visitors a year. “We will employ over 1,300 team members at our park. We will have a 250-bedroom hotel,” he said. Royle said the park will generate about $283 million in sales tax revenue for the county over 30 years. Colleen O’Connor, director of leasing for the New York and Massachusetts markets of Biomed Realty, talked about the company’s Ardsley Park biomed project, which is to include a buildout of 100,000 square feet as laboratory and office space. “Our goal is to build the project on a phased basis, starting with about 20,000 square feet with very flexible lease terms.” Glenn Loomis of Health Quest and Geoffrey Brackett of Marist College briefed the gathering on the plan for a new medical college in Poughkeepsie. Loomis said that one reason Health Quest joined with Marist is that starting a school “will create a pipeline for the mid-Hudson Valley so that we can have and keep the physicians that we need in our area.”

A MEMBER OF
NY among 43 states suing generic drugmakers BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com
C
onnecticut Attorney General William Tong is taking the leadership role in a 43-state coalition against 20 generic drug manufacturers and 15 pharmaceutical industry executives, charging them with a broad conspiracy to artificially inflate and manipulate prices, thereby reducing competition and restraining trade on more than 100 generic drugs. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, argues that companies, including Teva, Sandoz, Mylan and Pfizer coordinated an industrywide campaign to fix prices, allocate markets and rig bids for generic drugs for diseases and conditions ranging from basic infections to diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, HIV, ADHD and more. The attorneys general are charging that some of these coordinated price increases resulted in spikes of more than 1,000 percent. Tong argued the case before a national television audience during the May 12 broadcast of CBS’ “60 Minutes.” "It's what we believe to be the biggest corporate cartel in history and probably the biggest antitrust price-fixing case in this country, certainly right now and maybe in our nation's history," Tong said May 13 on "CBS This Morning." "We're blowing the lid off this whole thing because … this is an attack on the American people. It's a massive fraud that focuses on the drugs that we take every day," he added, according to cbsnews.com. “As I said on '60 Minutes,' we want to claw back the money that they stole from the American people." The complaint also accuses industry executives of planning these actions with each other during industry dinners, “girls’ nights out” events and golf outings, with frequent communications conducted through telephone calls, emails and text messages. Defendants used terms like “fair share,” “playing nice in the sandbox” and “responsible competitor” to describe how they unlawfully discouraged competition, raised prices and enforced an ingrained culture of collusion, the attorneys general added. The lawsuit seeks damages, civil penalties and actions by the court to restore competition to the generic drug market. “We have hard evidence that shows the generic drug industry perpetrated a multibillion-dollar fraud on the American people,” said Tong. “We have emails, text messages, telephone records and former company insiders that we believe will prove a multiyear conspiracy to fix prices and divide market share for huge numbers of generic drugs. These are drugs that people in this country rely on every day for acute and chronic conditions and diseases from diabetes and cancer to depression and arthritis. “We all wonder why our health care, and specifically the prices for generic prescription
drugs, are so expensive in this country. This is a big reason why. This investigation is still in its early stages. We will not stop until these companies and the individuals who orchestrated these schemes are held accountable.” New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is part of the coalition of attorneys general, also commented on the depth of the lawsuit. “The evidence shows a multiyear, multifaceted conspiracy to enrich pharmaceutical companies at the expense of consumers,” she said. “The scope of the conspiracy is breathtaking, affecting generic drugs that people rely on

every day to treat acute and chronic conditions. The blatant anticompetitive conduct alleged in the complaint harmed consumers’ health and well-being in multiple ways and we intend to hold the wrongdoers accountable.” CBS News reported that it contacted the Association for Accessible Medicines, a trade group representing generic prescription drug companies. They deny engaging in any illegal collusion. In a statement, the association said it is "committed to supporting policies that promote competition." It also said prices have declined overall in the last three years.

IN COURT Hartsdale pet store consents to fine over misleading advertising BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
C
ustomers who bought puppies and kittens from a Hartsdale pet store believed they had selected animals that were healthier and of higher quality than most stores offer, the New York Office of the Attorney General says, because the store promoted them as “home-raised” by “certified breeders.” “Our puppies and kittens are home-raised and responsibly bred for temperament and good congenital health,” Westchester Puppies & Kittens Inc. claimed on its website and Instagram page. In fact, according to a settlement with New York Attorney General Letitia James, many of the animals were sick and had been bred in puppy mills and large-scale kitten kennels.
The state fined the pet store $7,500 on April 29 and CEO Deborah Koehler admitted to no wrongdoing but agreed to remove false and deceptive advertising from the store’s website and Instagram page. The store has been in business since 2010, is licensed by the state Department of Agriculture and Markets and operates at 26 South Central Ave. It sold about 317 puppies and 274 kittens in 2017. The attorney general received 30 complaints from 2015 to 2018 about the store’s advertising and marketing practices and the sale of animals sick with kennel cough, giardia, distemper and parvovirus. The Department of Agriculture and the New York Better Business Bureau received similar complaints, according to the settlement. The pet store resolved some of the complaints by taking back animals,
refunding customers’ money or reimbursing veterinarian expenses. Four days before the settlement was signed the store agreed to pay a Scarsdale couple $14,675. Seth and Margreta Morgulas bought a miniature schnauzer puppy for $2,889. Their children named him Count Otto Morgulas. Count Otto was hospitalized for 10 days and died on Feb. 5 from acute pneumonia. In the state’s investigation, an undercover investigator posed on April 4 as a customer interested in buying a puppy. What did the store mean by “home raised” and “certified breeders?” the investigator asked. “The salesperson answered, ‘home-raised puppies are hobby breeders, which means they are small operations usually having one or two litters a year.’ ” She said
none of the dogs were from puppy mills. “Certified breeder” means they are licensed by the federal Department of Agriculture (USDA) and “the breeding operations are inspected and regulated by the government.” The state Department of Agriculture found critical deficiencies at the store in 2017 and 2018. Some puppies that were treated for rabies were not vaccinated, the settlement states. Animals with nasal discharge, upper respiratory infections or kennel cough were occasionally housed together, “permitting nose-to-nose contact and thereby exposing the animals to the other animal’s illness.” The attorney general’s investigators analyzed 32 of the 156 dog and cat breeders that supplied the pet store. More than half of the kennels housed dozens of adult dogs and cats for breeding. Some of the breeders
had been cited repeatedly by the USDA for maintaining poor conditions. The owner of Kuddly Kritters in Atkins, Nebraska, has been fined many times for “failing to meet basic humane conditions for animals,” the settlement states. Moreover, the state says, there is no such thing as a “USDA approved breeder.” The license merely means that the breeder operates on a commercial scale and may sell puppies or kittens to brokers or pet stores. Small-scale breeders do not qualify for the license. The attorney general concluded that the pet store’s claim that its animals were “responsibly bred for temperament and good congenital health” and its boasting of “certified breeders” were deceptive and misleading. The settlement notes that the store cooperated fully with the investigation by pro-
viding documents, removing the objectionable boasts on its website and Instagram page and agreeing to increase employee training. The settlement requires the store to cease misrepresenting the quality and health of its animals, the quality of the breeders and kennels and the sources of its animals. The store must conspicuously post notices near the cages of puppies and kittens offered for sale about how to learn the source and veterinary treatment of the animals. Koehler agreed that the store would not make “any public statement denying, directly or indirectly, any finding” in the settlement. The investigation and settlement were handled by Sandra Giorno-Tocco, an assistant attorney general, consumer fraud representative John Katzenstein and investigator Michael Christian.
Brother of convicted real estate swindler Michael D’Alessio accused of abetting fraud BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
E
ven as investors were demanding an explanation in 2017 for what had happened to their real estate investments, and even as banks were forcing an involuntary bankruptcy liquidation in 2018, and even after he was about to be indicted last year for swindling investors in a $58 million Ponzi scheme, Michael P. D’Alessio was transferring assets to his younger brother, Ronald. The timing of those transfers is suspicious, according to Marianne T. O’Toole, the bankruptcy trustee for Michael D’Alessio’s estate. Last month she sued Ronald G. D’Alessio and two real estate entities in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains for alleged-

ly abetting fraud. Ronald D’Alessio, of Eastchester, did not respond to an email message asking for his side of the story. Michael D’Alessio has filed numerous bankruptcy petitions for his Michael Paul Enterprises and myriad real estate entities. He pleaded guilty in November to wire fraud and concealing assets from bankruptcy court, and was sentenced last month to six years in prison. Before he was sentenced he said, in a letter to the judge, that as a result of his criminal conduct, “Ronald is left without money and in search of a job to care for his 10-year-old son … and newborn baby.” The D’Alessio brothers worked together as disc jockeys when they were teenagers, according to the trustee’s
WCBJ
complaint, and have been engaged in business ever since. Ronald worked as a project manager for Michael. He was paid $1,000 a week, since 2000, and collected commissions on real estate transactions for his brother’s American Dream Realty in White Plains. The trustee describes several suspicious transactions. In late 2017, after Michael stopped making loan payments to investors, he made a deal to buy a house in the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, for $1.3 million. Four months later, after banks and investors had sued him, Michael substituted his brother as the buyer. Ronald bought the house a year ago for $1.3 million and then sold it in September for $1.1 million. Around the same time
that Ronald was substituted as the Boca buyer, Michael transferred interests in two properties on Schurz Avenue, in the Throgs Neck neighborhood of the Bronx, to Ronald for $50,000. But the multifamily houses, according to the complaint, were worth at least $750,000 each, had at least $455,000 in net equity after mortgage considerations and generated at least $33,509 a year in net cash flow from rents. The property transfers, according to the trustee, “were not made for reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.” In October and November 2017, as Michael’s real estate enterprise was crumbling, he had made internet searches on “the biggest bank in the Dominican Republic” and “which country is best to hide
money from us.” Last June, he text messaged someone, “need some of my money tomorrow for Italy” and “I need my 100k I gave you to hold.” Ronald’s passport shows that he made multiple trips to the Dominican Republic from December 2017 to the summer of 2018. “Ronald may have traveled to the Dominican Republic,” the complaint states, “for the purpose of placing (Michael) D’Alessio’s assets outside of the United States.” Last August, after Michael filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the complaint states, he wired $37,000 and then $50,000 to Ronald, without bankruptcy court approval. This past January, Michael filed a $100,000 claim on his bankruptcy estate, identifying Ronald as a creditor
for “money loaned” that he linked to an April 2018 promissory note. The trustee issued subpoenas for Ronald’s documents about transactions with his brother. He has declined to produce most of the documents, the complaint states, and he has delayed appearing for an examination. The trustee concluded that Ronald conspired with Michael to defraud the creditors in the bankruptcy cases. The complaint accuses him of engaging in fraudulent transfers, unjust enrichment, conversion of assets and civil conspiracy. The trustee is demanding that the transfers be voided, and that either the assets be returned to the bankruptcy estate or that the estate be paid at least $587,000 for the net value of the assets.
Burke-Blythedale program seeking improved neurological treatments for children BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
“T
he sky is really the limit in terms of what we can develop here and the impact we can have on these kids’ lives,” Dianna E. Willis, the new director of research for the Burke-Blythedale pediatric neuroscience research collaboration, told the Business Journal during a May 2 interview. The Burke Neurological Institute, based at the Burke Rehabilitation campus in White Plains, and Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla three years ago established the first partnership in New York state between a research institute and a children’s specialty hospital to study and treat the nervous system in children. Willis holds a doctorate in molecular biolo�y and genetics from the
University of Delaware. She had a postdoctoral fellowship in neurobiolo�y at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. She is assistant professor of neuroscience at the Brian and Mind Research Institute of Weill Cornell Medical College in addition to directing Burke’s Laboratory for Axonal and RNA Biolo�y. Neurological issues in children manifest themselves in different ways. The collaboration has been working on taking basic neuroscience research being conducted at Burke and creating clinical applications to enhance treatment for children with neurological impairments at Blythedale. The collaboration involves about a dozen researchers at work in Burke’s labs and a dozen or so clinicians who are directly involved at Blythedale. The collaboration
involves three main areas of research: vision recovery, evaluating and treating children with vision impairment; hemiplegia, paralysis that affects one side of the body and can be partial or total; and cognitive neurorehabilitation, designed to restore nervous system functioning to improve memory, thinking and feeling. Glen Prusky heads the vision research. Kathleen Friel, director of cerebral palsy research, heads hemiplegia research. Sudhin A. Shah heads the neurorehabilitation research. The collaboration was originally intended to run for five years and is in its third year. “The investment that they’ve made is not small and I think it’s very gutsy,” Willis said. “It’s a minimum of $500,000 a year for five years. It’s a minimum of $2 1/2 million. It’s not something that
they can charge for or bill for. It’s an investment that they say is critical to doing exactly what their mission is and that’s to improve treatment.” Willis explains that one goal is to develop ways to measure the effects of various therapies so that any effects new treatments or changes in existing treatments are having on patients’ conditions can be properly tracked. “One of the problems in treating injured kids is that they’re not often able to tell you or interact with you to tell you what their capabilities are. So, how do you measure vision in a child who is not able to respond to you? They’re either too young to be verbal or they’ve had an injury that prevents them from verbally responding.” In the cognitive recovery program, the issue becomes measuring changes in brain activity. “If you
bring kids into a hospital they’re going to improve. But, there was no way of measuring that improvement in a systematic way. There are lots of ways of measuring systematically which have been established for adults, but no one has brought that into the childhood population,” said Willis. Willis said that one goal in the hemiplegia program is to understand where a child’s deficit is based. Is it a loss of motor function, or sensory, or a combination? The plan is for studies to pave the way for developing new approaches to treatment. “Should we train both sides of the body or should we train only the weak side? How often should we train them? What is the best therapeutic approach? How can we improve those approaches by things like noninvasive brain stimulation?”
Willis said that the work of the collaboration is entering a new phase. “Our goal is to design well-powered, very rigorous studies to ask questions about whether a certain treatment is having an effect.” Willis explained that without the ability to measure in a scientific way the effects of various therapeutic approaches, it’s not possible to know whether something that looks promising in the laboratory really can become a breakthrough treatment for patients. “We now know what most kids normally look like in terms of their recovery. If we add a therapeutic (drug) and we begin to see a deviation from that normal recovery curve we could say, ‘hey, this is something which might actually be having an effect’ and we can begin to really now assess therapeutic approaches in a rigorous way we couldn’t do before.”

IDA—
IDA exemptions and abatements include the county’s share of the taxes and the city’s share. White Plains has been concerned about anticipated losses of that tax revenue and its ability to make up the funds elsewhere due to the New York state property tax cap. The city has the right to formally object to the IDA providing assistance to any project within its borders. Such an objection would block IDA assistance and, in turn, could make it financially unworkable for a developer to move ahead with a project. So, developers seeking to retain at least some IDA benefits have been agreeing to pay directly to White Plains the amounts the city otherwise would be losing in sales and mortgage tax revenue. At the Common Council meeting May 6, resolutions were passed affirming that the city will not object to IDA benefits being granted to certain projects. The resolutions also set the stage for the city to collect about $7,537,383 in tax revenues from developers. Each

He has been arrested many times and struggled with drug abuse. As DMX, he has translated his pain into lyrics and music that moves many people. In 1998, he released two albums that rose to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the first time a rapper had achieved such a distinction in the same year. He has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, won two American Music Awards and acted in films. He also had a habit of not filing income tax returns.

developer has a payment schedule based on the project’s timelines. During the voting process, White Plains Mayor Tom Roach said, “I think we’re the only community which this happens in. We receive compensation from the developer for what we would have received for the sales tax and the mortgage tax, which is significant.” Roach said that since his first days on the Common Council, “I sought ways to try and shift the burden off of our local taxpayers and this is one of the ways that we do that.” A resolution affecting 440 Hamilton Owner LLC covered a project at the former AT&T building, which is due to include 468 apartments and 3,420 square feet of retail space. It extended and amended a previous agreement covering what would have been about $995,640 in sales taxes and $648,319 in mortgage tax payments for the city. Another resolution covered the project by ND Acquisitions LLC — Waterstone Residential Development, for 132 independent living units at 120 Bloomindale Road. It was
$2.3 million in back taxes. He was released from prison on Jan. 25. The current case concerns a four-bedroom Colonial on 2.5 acres at 142 McLain St. in Mount Kisco. Earl Simmons bought the property in 2000 for $649,000, and the couple mortgaged it in 2003 for $495,000. In 2009, they filed for bankruptcy protection, but the case was dismissed three months later for failure to file required documents. They petitioned the court again, either together or individually, in 2010, 2013, twice in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In all but one instance, the cases were dismissed for failure to file documents, failure to make payments and other reasons. Earl Simmons was barred twice from filing new petitions for a while. Last year, Tashera Simmons’ ba nk r uptcy attorney was barred

at 138-158 Westmoreland Ave. The timetable for the project changed, requiring the council to pass a new resolution allowing it to collect about $217,000 representing sales taxes and about $53,500 in mortgage recording taxes. A fourth resolution covered the project at 60 S. Broadway, the site of the former Pavilion Mall and, before that, Alexander’s depart-
ment store. LMC/Lennar Multifamily Communities, LLC, through its business affiliate Maple and Broadway Holdings LLC, plans to build a two-phase project which will include 814 residential units and 28,056 square feet of retail use and associated parking and amenities. It has agreed to reimburse the city approximately $3,253,731 in sales tax revenue and about $1,250,000 in mortgage tax
revenue. Roach has been a longtime proponent of the city establishing its own IDA, but past efforts to get Albany to approve legislation allowing for a White Plains IDA have failed. A local IDA would give the city direct control over incentives for developers and obviate the need to act after the fact to collect what the county’s IDA offers as benefits.
Delaware. On April 4, Tashera and Earl Simmons, as husband and wife, deeded their Mount Kisco property to Tasher Way for $10. Tashera, according to the Westchester County property record, signed for
both of them, citing a power of attorney. Earl Simmons had granted her authority to represent him on real estate transactions, banking transactions, claims and litigation, and tax matters in 2017, two months after he was indicted for tax evasion. But the agreement was not filed with the county until April 4, at the same time that the deed transfer was recorded. On April 5, Tashera Simmons filed the latest bankruptcy action. But the debtor is listed as Tasher Way LLC of 142 McLain St. in Mount Kisco. Tashera, who filed the petition without an attorney, lists herself as Tasher Way’s manager, and the document does not say whether Earl Simmons has any interest in the company. The petition declares that Tasher Way does not own or possess any prop-
erty and it lists $0 in assets. The only liability listed is the Compass Bank mortgage, by its agent, RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corp. The petition states that the debt is $980,000, the collateral (the property) is worth $500,000 and no one else is liable for the claim. Tasher Way was supposed to submit a statement of financial affairs and other documents by Feb. 19. As of May 9, no such documents had been docketed. Compass Bank says the property is worth at least $835,000. It argues that Tasher Way is part of a scheme of using multiple bankruptcy filings to invoke automatic stays and defraud creditors. The bank and its servicing company are asking the court to grant them relief from the stay so they can pursue their claim in Westchester Supreme Court.

Chappaqua Crossing almost crossing the finish line BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
F
elix T. Charney, managing director of Summit Development, which is headquartered in Southport, Connecticut, and has offices in Danbury, Chappaqua, New York, and Tavernier, Florida, expects to have the retail space at Summit’s Chappaqua Crossing project 97% leased by September. “The project was behind schedule on all fronts and it was supposed to have been completed probably 18 months ago. We initially had a significant amount of leasing momentum after we announced Whole Foods and Life Time, but a lot of that momentum ebbed when we were unable to commence construction. It more or less continued to ebb until the project began to materialize,” he told the Business Journal. Chappaqua Crossing is a mixed-use project on the former Reader’s Digest property. The retail/commercial component of the project is developed and owned by Summit in partnership with the Grossman Companies of Quincy, Massachusetts. The retail component has 120,000 square feet of space in a shopping village configuration. The tenant list includes Whole Foods, 40,000 square feet; Life Time Athletic, 40,000 square feet; Pet Valu, 3,300 square feet; Chase Bank, 3,200 square feet; Fidelity Investments, 5,200 square feet; Verizon, 1,500 square feet; Compass, 4,100 square feet; and the boutique ROCKS, which opened on May 9 in a 1,627-square-foot space. “We have leases pending with three food-service facilities and other users,” Charney said. The jewelry, gifts and home décor boutique ROCKS has been operating successfully in Armonk. “We are so excited to be opening a second location in Chappaqua Crossing,” said store owner Tanya Tochner. “I love this community. I have lived here for 18 years and raised my family here,” she said. Charney pointed to the retail component’s anchor tenants. “We’ve been very fortunate, in an Amazon-affected environment, to have the critical anchors that are theoretically immune from the Amazon effect: food and fitness. Ironically, Amazon owns Whole Foods, but in terms of retail today, it’s a much more challenging environment and if you have anchors that require the customers to visit the store, either for services or experientially, today they tend to be more successful and, in that regard, that’s what this project is all about.” The Chappaqua Crossing property consists of 116 acres in the Chappaqua section of the town of New Castle. The site is just off the Saw Mill River Parkway and near Chappaqua’s Metro-North train station. The cost to develop the retail portion of Chappaqua Crossing has been estimated as $50 million. Also on the site are about 500,000 square feet of office space, 64 apartments, green space and the 425-seat Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, which

had been the Reader’s Digest auditorium. Construction of townhomes on the site is expected to begin later this year. In 2004, the partnership of Summit Development and Greenfield Partners was selected from among more than 100 candidates to buy the Reader’s Digest property. Summit Development LLC is a privately held diversified real estate investment, development and management company. Greenfield Partners is a leading real estate investment manager. The Grossman Companies has a portfolio
of about 2.5 million square feet of retail, office, industrial, self-storage and residential properties throughout southern New England. Wilder-Balter Partners converted the original 1939 Reader’s Digest headquarters building into apartments and has full management responsibility for the apartments at Chappaqua Crossing. “The last challenge we face is completing some off-site improvements at Route 117 and Roaring Brook Road,” Charney told the Business Journal. “The permitting and approval process here was daunting, expen-
sive and substantially affected our scheduling. On the other side of that conversation, the challenge to developing in communities like Chappaqua ultimately creates a very desirable product because it is so difficult to get anything approved. So, I certainly think that the uniqueness of our project has contributed to our leasing success.” Charney noted that Summit has been in business for 38 years with 100 projects under its belt. “We made our living working in Fairfield and Westchester counties. These are high-barrier-entry markets that have always had extremely limited land supply and you’re forced to be resourceful, and part of that resourcefulness has you repurposing older buildings,” he said. Charney cited some examples: “We turned a brownfield defunct metals factory in Fairfield into our first Whole Foods. We turned an old defense plant in Norwalk into a mixed-use residential office project. We turned downtown South Norwalk into a residential, retail and office component.” Charney also pointed to Summit’s purchase last October of the 1,300,000-squarefoot former Union Carbide headquarters, the Matrix Corporate Center in Danbury, which is intended for repurposing.
Woodbury Common expansion review underway; road improvements near completion The plan also envisions new landscaping, kiosks, additional lighting and storage space for tenants. It represents about a 21% expansion of the built-up area of the site. One of the parking garages would be built within the northeastern portion of the property and would have five levels. The other one would be in the southeastern section and have four levels as well as a landing pad for helicopters. Both garages would have solar panels to generate electricity for use within the shopping center. The work on the expansion would begin in July of next year with expected completion in December 2023. Also, the Village Board of Trustees is considering two new local laws addressing hotel locations and standards. One updates the village’s Comprehensive Plan regarding hotels and the other would create a Hotel Overlay Zoning District.

he Planning Board in the village of Woodbury has set a public scoping session for May 22 as it begins its environmental review of a project to expand the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets. The expansion would take place within the existing footprint of the 149.5-acre property located just off Route 17 near the New York State Thruway’s Harriman tolls. The Planning Board declared itself to be lead agency for an extensive environmental review of the project under the State Environmental Quality Review Act. As the formal review of the project application, from Premium Outlet Partners LP, c/o Premium Outlets/Simon Property Group Inc., moves forward, nearing completion is a $150 million state Department of Transportation (DOT) road project, which promises to make it easier for shoppers to get into and out of the property. The Woodbury Transit & Economic Development Hub Reconstruction Project, as the DOT calls it, is expected to be finished no later than November, a project spokesman told the Business Journal. It is billed as offering improved access points for Woodbury Common, a pedestrian walkway, new lanes on Route 32, a new roadway for the MonroeWoodbury School District and a 200-space park and ride lot, among other features. The Yonkers Contracting Co. has been doing the work in conjunction with HVEA Engineers, which has its main office in Beacon. Also involved is civil engineering, consulting and construction management firm HVEA Engineers, which has offices in Albany and New York City. At peak shopping periods such as in the weeks before Christmas, traffic jams getting to Woodbury Common have been commonplace. Road and ramp improvements aimed at easing delays include a new south entrance/exit at Woodbury Common designed to improve access to the shopping center’s “ring road” which drivers use to get to internal parking. Local traffic will be able to access the new entrance/exit through the new underpass under Route 32. Also, traffic on Route 32 and Route 17 will be able to access the new entrance through newly constructed roundabouts. Woodbury Common opened in 1985 with 25 stores in about 115,000 square feet. By 1998, the operation had grown to 220 stores with 885,000 square feet. It now features 250 stores covering 912,676 square feet. The proposed expansion would add 185,500 square feet. In addition to new retail space, there would be two 120-room hotels and two new parking structures, as well as 12,000 square feet of new space designated for restaurants and a 6,000-square-foot spa next to the hotel planned for the northeastern portion of the property.
Woodbury Common’s expansion would take place within its existing footprint.

Larchmont house is asset for paying taxes, U.S. Tax Court rules BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A
U.S. Tax Court judge ruled on May 2 that an IRS official did not abuse her discretion when she rejected an offer by Norman Hinerfeld of Larchmont to settle a $550,000 tax liability for $12,720. The IRS rejected the offer because it did not include the value of his Larchmont house in determining how much he could pay. Hinerfeld had transferred the house to his wife, Ruth, for $10 in 2003. Nearly three years later, the IRS assessed him for unpaid employment taxes by Thermacon Industries from 2002 to 2004. Hinerfeld did not dispute the tax liability, but he argued that he had resigned as Thermacon chairman in 2003 and did not

know about the tax issue until 2006. The property at the center of the dispute is on Oak Lane at Delancey Cove, including a 6,091-square-foot house with six bedrooms on a 1.8-acre lot. Hinerfeld bought it for $185,000 in 1968, according to Westchester property records. Today it is valued at more than $4.1 million on the tax roll. An IRS settlement officer originally recommended acceptance of Hinerfeld’s settlement offer. But an official who reviewed the case discovered that Hinerfeld and his wife were defendants in a federal lawsuit in New Jersey, in which they were accused of fraudulently transferring Thermacon assets to a company owned by Ruth and their children. That left Thermacon unable to pay its creditors. The IRS rejected Hinerfeld’s offer and concluded that Ruth Hinerfeld held title to the Larchmont property as her husband’s nominee and not as the actual owner. That meant that Norman Hinerfeld had sufficient assets to satisfy the tax liability. He petitioned the tax court, arguing that the settlement officer had abused her discretion.
The property at the center of the dispute is on Oak Lane at Delancey Cove, including a 6,091-square-foot house with six bedrooms on a 1.8-acre lot.
The conclusion that Ruth Hinerfeld was her husband’s nominee, Senior Judge James S. Halpern ruled, “was not only reasonable but correct.” The record does not establish that she paid any consideration for the house, he said. Ruth had admitted at trial that she acquired the house to shield it from creditors. That was three years before the IRS assessment. But under IRS rules, “the relevant question is not whether the transfer … was motivated by a desire to avoid the particular tax liability,” Halpern stated, “but simply whether the transfer was made to protect the property from liabilities.” There is plenty of evidence, he said, that the transfer was “related to his (Norman Hinerfeld’s) and Thermacon’s financial difficulties.” He continued to live in the house and pay some of the expenses, and there is no evidence, Halpern said, that the transfer “significantly affected his possession or enjoyment of the property.”
KEEPING PACE Job readiness is Pace’s mission BY MARVIN KRISLOV
F
or more than 100 years, Pace University has been dedicated to providing a hands-on, real-world education grounded in the liberal arts that prepares graduates for great jobs and great careers. We give our students a great education and we give Westchester employers graduates ready to meet their needs. We have a long tradition of training businesspeople and communications experts, teachers and counselors, public and nonprofit leaders. Our Elisabeth Haub School of Law, which has trained a generation of Westchester lawyers, serves the community through our legal clinics — and is now the top-ranked environmental law program in the country. With plans well underway for the new North 60 project, we’re making sure we’re also educating a new generation of Westchester biotech workers. The $1.2 billion plan, which kicked off earlier this year, will bring our region 222,000 square feet of lab and office space for biotech and medical use in a new biosciences center that is projected to create 8,000 permanent new jobs. To meet that need, we’re redoubling our offerings in the bioscience sector. We see that as encompassing three distinct but related areas: health care, technolo�y and the life sciences.
LIFE SCIENCES
The New York metropolitan area is the most significant bioscience region in the world. The area hosts more than 60 percent of all Big Pharma national or global headquarters, with more than 75,000 biotech jobs. The New YorkNew Jersey region is the second-ranked in the nation for research funding from the National Institutes for Health, with 4,200 awards totaling $2.1 billion. And Gov. Andrew Cuomo is pushing several initiatives to grow the life sciences sector in New York state. Innovation in the life sciences happens at the intersection of our College of Health Professions and our Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. And it gets a big boost from a number of programs in the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, which houses our Biolo�y, Chemistry and Physical Sciences departments and the Institute for Sustainability and the Environment. Life science employers need the marketers, administrators and finance experts we educate in our Lubin School of Business. We send students on to jobs at major regional employers including Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Abbott Laboratories.
HEALTH CARE
Our College of Health Professions has long been a leader in health care education in Westchester. We’re a Center of Excellence in Healthcare Simulation. And we’re adding new
Marvin Krislov
programs to respond to employer demand, like a new master’s in occupational therapy and the region’s only master’s in nutrition and dietetics that allows students to complete their clinical work at the same time they complete their classroom instruction. Undergraduate CHP students complete dozens of clinical experiences in hospitals and hospital systems including NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore, Westchester Medical Center and Phelps Memorial. Master’s students complete clinicals at those same systems, plus Memorial Sloan Kettering and White Plains hospitals. CHP’s programs are highly rated and job-placement rates are well above national averages. Last year we placed graduates in all of those hospitals and hospital systems plus many more throughout the region.
TECHNOLOGY
Our Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems nearly tripled its student body over the last five years as we respond to the demands of the tech sector in Westchester and across the region. We’re designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security. Our cybersecurity graduates go on to public-sector jobs at the FBI, NSA and organizations in Westchester. We’re also adding new programs at Seidenberg. We added new courses in design thinking so our students are best prepared to innovate. We launched an interdisciplinary eco-lab on the Hudson River in Ossining. Our students are working on the programming and robotics that allow water-quality testing and monitoring. Seidenberg graduates go to jobs in data science, web design, software development, network engineering and so many other fields at everything from local startups to major employers like IBM, KPMG and Consumer Reports.

ASK ANDI Maintaining control as the company grows THE GOOD NEWS IS, OUR COMPANY IS GROWING. THIS IS WHAT WE ALWAYS WANTED. BUT IT’S SCARY FOR US, AS OWNERS, TOO. WE WORRY A LOT ABOUT LOSING CONTROL. HOW DO WE KEEP IN TOUCH AND KNOW THINGS ARE BEING DONE PROPERLY IF WE’RE NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Controlling things as you grow the company is a challenge for most small-business owners. Build systems, procedures and checklists so you can teach everyone how you want things done. Insist on reports and auditing as control tools. Building up checks and balances and cross-company incentives helps to get everyone on the same page, watching out for how things are going. Pay attention when you hear comments. One of the reasons that so many companies remain small is that business owners tend to be hands-on and
that limits the size to which their companies can grow. Bigger companies have more to do, more employees to manage, more customers to see. And that means that as an owner you’ll have to delegate more. Consistency makes money in any company. Help to ensure things get done the way you want by writing it down — procedures. Ask the next person in line to improve those procedures. Use checklists to learn more about when and why things go right and go wrong. As the company grows, one overhead investment
you’ll want to make is in people who make sure things go right. In the early stages of the business, it’s the owner. Later on the owner has other important roles to fill such as developing and managing the company’s long-term growth strategies. Managers, team leaders or people in a separate reporting line need to check and report. I know of many business owners who overlooked this crucial checking function. Then they find out there were errors with reporting, managers were fudging numbers, money was going out the door for the wrong things, and in some cases, outright theft was rampant. Why wouldn’t an owner put in place people to proof what’s going on? Because it costs money and owners are eternal optimists thinking bad things will never
happen to them. Bad stuff can and does happen, all the time. Prevention through auditing can be hard to justify, because if it’s done right, the problems never show up. Savvy business owners know this, treat error checking and reporting as costs of doing business and build that into their overall profit structure in order to ensure the company stays safe as it grows. Get everyone on the same team with bonus programs. Reward everyone based on the company’s overall profitability. Get all employees involved in keeping a close eye on everything, fixing problems and looking for ways to implement best practices. Teach employees that bonuses ultimately depend on monitoring and improving what’s going on. Give employees reports to use
and education on what to do with those reports. Emphasize the importance of cutting waste, dealing with unprofitable accounts, boosting growth with profitable customers and handling tough employee situations legally and fairly. Stay in touch by walking around and talking with people. When you get feedback, pay attention. Celebrate the good stuff. Carefully investigate complaints, even if they’re about someone you consider part of your insider team. Deal with problems promptly. Don’t avoid them. There’s a saying: respect what you inspect. If something is important enough to do well, make sure you can confirm that it’s done well. This is no time to hope, only to be disappointed later. Ask everyone around you to pay attention to
details and report in with both good and bad examples so everyone can work to improve how things are done. BOOK RECOMMENDATION: “The Connected Manager, Leadership 101,” by John Nesgoda III.

EDUCATION & TECHNOLOGY WESTCHESTER COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL
Performance Flight takes off with technology in education BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
A
pioneering effort in blending education and technolo�y is quietly underway at a place you’d hardly expect to look for it: the Westchester County Airport. That’s where Performance Flight, having just relocated to larger and more modern space at Million Air’s new private terminal building at 136 Tower Road, has been expanding the role technolo�y plays in its flight school’s opera-
tions to train new pilots and conduct advanced courses for those already flying and wishing to upgrade their capabilities, such as going from private pilot to commercial pilot and beyond. Lewis Liebert, founder and president of Performance Flight, explained that the company has three divisions. “We have a very large program with the Cirrus Aircraft SR 20 and SR 22 models,” Liebert said about the high-performance, single-engine, propeller-driven airplanes Performance Flight operates. “We’re using

12 of those aircraft for primary training, instrument training and onwards. The second division we have is aircraft charter where we’re brokering jets around the world.” Liebert said they serve a range of clients from those wanting to go on vacation to those going on business trips. “The third division we have is aircraft management. Within the management division, we also have our own maintenance operation. We have mechanics on-site here at Westchester County Airport,” he said. Liebert

said the management division is taking care of Cessna Citation and Gulfstream jets. A new Cirrus Vision jet could be seen parked on the ramp below his second-floor office window. Two sections of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations allow for different types of flight instruction operations. Part 141 of the regulations covers highly structured flight schools which must submit a curriculum to the FAA for review and meet other requirements, while oper» EDUCATION

ations under Part 61 are more flexible. Part 61 allows the curriculum to be adapted to the specific needs of a student. For decades, traditional Part 141 training has involved classroom instruction for groups during which instructors would deliver lectures covering FAA-approved subject matter. The ground school would be coupled with flight lessons following an FAA-dictated syllabus of exercises. According to Liebert, Performance Flight elected to go the Part 61 route because, in part, “What we’re creating is the next generation flight training. We’re doing something that no one else has done in the world by integrating the technolo�y and the material.” The curriculum flexibility afforded under
Part 61 allows Performance to meet FAA standards while, at the same time, creating its own instructional materials which incorporate the latest graphic, video, data collection and whiteboard presentation technologies. Liebert said that what they’re doing is different even from what’s happening with technolo�y outside of aviation in public and private education. “Most schools are isolated from the content creators so someone has picked the technolo�y and there’s a smart board in the room and the teacher hasn’t had anything to do with that selection. The software is chosen by the board of education and whatever committees and personnel are involved to select that. What we’re doing is creating it in a homegrown fashion where the instructors are participating directly in creating

the content.” Liebert explained how a graphic showing the basic forces which act on an airplane during flight (lift, thrust, drag and gravity) can be neatly prepared for effective display on the whiteboard with the instructor adding additional visuals and notes while leading the student through
the subject matter. The presentations can be loaded with visual features such as navigation charts and operational checklists. The whiteboard material can also highlight mistakes made by students during actual flights. Data from an airplane’s instruments and engine monitoring system can be presented on
one part of the whiteboard while video showing what was happening in the cockpit during a flight to produce the data can be running in another section. Going a step further, what the student sees on the whiteboard during instruction at Performance’s airport facility can be packaged into digital files, which can then be emailed to a student for study at leisure. “You’re either going to make it or you won’t. But, almost everyone’s going to make it. We’re just making sure you’re doing it correctly. We’re taking the program and wrapping it around you,” Liebert said. The basic technolo�y available in airplanes has changed dramatically in recent years as what’s called the “glass cockpit” has become preeminent. Digital instrument displays,

highly sophisticated autopilot systems, GPS navigation coupled with moving map displays, conflict alerting systems, infrared-enhanced vision systems and more have changed the way pilots interface with an aircraft’s systems and what the pilots need to do to keep an airplane on course and in a stable flight regime. “When I started Performance Flight in 2007, the Cirrus Aircraft was actually the first one to have a glass cockpit. We’ve been operating with the technically advanced aircraft, as it is called,” Liebert said. Being able to use the whiteboards to demonstrate how to use and make inputs to the glass cockpit equipment is easier than trying to teach a student either by trial and error during flight or by reading an instruction manual.

Westchester Community College (WCC) President Belinda S. Miles has been named one of 35 women who have changed higher education. The March edition of “Diverse Issues in Higher Education” noted that these leaders in the field of education tackled “some of higher education’s toughest challenges, exhibiting extraordinary leadership skills and making a positive difference in their respective communities.” Miles has worked with faculty and staff to achieve a 42% increase in the college’s threeyear graduation rate and the largest graduating classes in its 72-year history. Her leadership contributed to Westchester Community College being selected as a member of the Achieving the Dream network of community colleges committed to improved student outcomes and as one of two institutions selected nationally for a $1million award to support replication of the City University of New York’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) which doubled CUNY’s three-year graduation rate.
BLYTHEDALE LAUNCHES SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS On May 8, Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla welcomed dozens of staff, clinicians and community members to the inaugural presentation of a series of educational initiatives aimed at identifying the warning signs and risk factors of suicide and how to prevent it. The first program, “Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention,” was organized by Suzanne Bartlett of Thornwood, Blythedale’s director of employee health, PALS and BLS, in association with Maria Idoni, director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Westchester/ Hudson Valley chapter, to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Month. Bartlett began the presentation with a brief discussion on how suicide touched her family’s life through the loss of her 25-yearold-son, Peter, to suicide, one year ago. Since then, she has been an advocate for mental health and one of the driving forces behind Blythedale’s new screening tool, risk assessment safety plan and community educational programming on suicide prevention. Idoni, the featured presenter, spoke passionately about ways to take the stigma off mental health issues, including suicide, and making mental health a priority in the community.

WCC’S NEW TRANSFER AGREEMENT WITH IONA COLLEGE Westchester Community College (WCC) has signed a new transfer agreement with Iona College, allowing students who complete their studies at WCC to matriculate into Iona College with junior standing. This will guarantee transfer admission to graduates with a 2.5 grade point average or better with a maximum of 64 credits applied toward the completion of the bachelor’s degree at Iona. The agreement will also be honored if Westchester Community College students transfer to Iona prior to completing their associate’s degree studies. If they subsequently take the required classes at Iona, they would earn their associate’s degrees through the reverse transfer process. Part of this new agreement is the commitment to create and award the Iona College/Westchester Community College Pathways Transfer Scholarship in order to encourage students to take advantage of this new partnership. In addition to this new scholarship for students who maintain satisfactory academic progress after transferring to the college, Iona will continue to offer several merit-based scholarships to other transfer students.
coln Depot Foundation will operate the Visitor’s Center as part of its site lease with the city of Peekskill and is looking to partner with local organizations to bring new events and experiences to the community. The opening of the Visitor’s Center completes the redevelopment of the unique historic site, which began in 2003. Then-Gov. George Pataki aided the city with a grant to restore the old rail depot
as a museum. Funding for the entire project, including the Depot building, Visitor’s Center and grounds, came from New York state grants in 2006. The historic depot structure was restored and has contained the completed museum since 2014. Located at 10 S. Water St., the museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. through Nov. 17 and can be reached at 914-402-4318 or by visiting lincolndepotmuseum.org.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
