A TOWERING PLAN FOR A STRUGGLING PROPERTY BY JOHN GOlDeN jgolden@westfairinc.com
T
he owner of a largely vacant shopping center in downtown White Plains wants to demolish the building and replace it with high-rise residences as part of a four-building mixeduse development that would transform the city skyline while creating a more walkable business district. Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc., the publicly traded real estate investment trust based in Greenwich, Conn., is seeking a zoning change for The Westchester Pavilion at 60 S. Broadway as a first step in its plans to redevelop the nearly 4-acre site as an 858,000-square-foot complex. It would be built around an inner plaza and pedestrian street linking East Post Road and South Broadway and the downtown Mamaroneck Avenue retail corridor with Hale Avenue and Maple Avenue and the grow-

Small-scale farms, colossal farm bill BY Bill FAllON bfallon@westfairinc.com
tHe nearLY triLLion-DoLLar FeDeraL FarM BiLL now wending through Congress could make history by sowing small-scale assistance among farm policy that for 80 years has focused on America’s so-called program crops: corn, wheat, rice, cotton and oil seeds. This year’s hoped-for change in attitude is accompanied by regional Congressional sway – “a dog in the fight,” as one farmer said – that in the past was nonexistent or, when briefly present as in 2008, was crushed by program-crop states.
The last federal farm bill dates to 2008 and expired in January, typical of its five-year cycle. Congressional budgeting, however, must reckon with expenses 10 years into the future at nearly $100 billion per year: $955 billion. Agriculture program funding since January has been stopgap. In 2008, regional black dirt conservation efforts were scratched late in the process. But this year unlike previous years, according to onion farmer Chris Pawelski, “We have a dog in the fight,” meaning a U.S. senator and House members on the right committees. “For those who don’t grow those program Farms, page 6

Small businesses pilot Peekskill’s future on the Hudson BY JOHN GOlDeN jgolden@westfairinc.com
A
t the start of a new season on the Hudson, Capt. Mary Pat Driscoll eased her cruise boat Evening Star against a floating pier at the city dock in Peekskill’s Riverfront Green Park. Her passengers, students and chaperones from a high school fishing club, disembarked as Peekskill Mayor Mary Foster watched from the landing. With a large bay and three coves, “Our goal has been to have a lot more boating activities on the riverfront,” from kayaks to yachts, Foster said after greeting the students, whose chartered fishing cruise was a first for the riverboat captain. “So this is really exciting to us.” As part of that effort, the city plans to build a floating pier in the river channel for historic tall ships. “We’re really trying to bring in tourism and visitors,” said the mayor. The city has welcomed Driscoll’s Trinity Cruise Co. as the first river tour line to be based in Peekskill. The company operated there for its first full season in 2012. ”We know if you have one boat, it attracts more,” said Foster. “It sure does,” said Driscoll. Working as a captain at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, Driscoll with her husband bought the Evening Star, a former Coast Guard buoy tender that was last in service on the Erie Canal in 2011. “When the opportunity came up to buy this, we picked Peekskill as the perfect home port,” she said. The company’s cruises to West Point attract city dwellers taking advantage of discount train and boat packages for which Driscoll teams with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. She and her husband have moved from New Jersey to Peekskill, where the 46-foot Evening Star is docked at Charles Point Marina. Last year the getaway cruises were sold out every Sunday in a season that runs from late May to October, she said. The cruise company’s owners are part of a new wave of entrepreneurs in the

wake of the recession that are remaking Peekskill’s economy and extending the range of the city’s restaurants and small businesses from downtown to its postindustrial waterfront. Across the Metro-North Railroad tracks from Riverfront Green on Hudson Avenue, the owner of The Quiet Man Public House, a popular 2-year-old Irish pub in downtown Peekskill, this spring opened the Yellow Brick Café in a longvacant retail space. At the renovated Metro-North station nearby, the MTA in June is expected to announce a new restaurant operator for the former MTA ticket office, Foster said. About two blocks north of the train station, owners of Peekskill Brewery last December reopened their brew pub in a four-story building at 47 S. Water St. “The brew pub, in terms of economic development, is one important piece of critical mass here,” said Patrick J. Garvey, chairman of the Lincoln Depot Foundation. The nonprofit group expects this fall to reopen the city’s former train depot on South Water Street, where President-elect
Abraham Lincoln stopped to address Peekskill citizens in 1861, as the Lincoln Depot Museum (see related story, p. 31). The museum and a planned city-operated visitors center there also are elements of the city’s waterfront revitalization program that aims to link downtown and waterfront development along Central Avenue. At the city’s south end, a 76-room Holiday Inn Express hotel is under construction on John Walsh Boulevard and is expected to be completed by this fall after a three-year delay when the developer was unable to obtain financing for the project. And Foster said developer Martin Ginsburg, whose planned condominium development on South Water Street was to be

a central piece of the waterfront revitalization plan, but was shelved in the recession, could bring plans for residential development on another site to the city early this summer. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s remapped flood plains along the Hudson River in the wake of Hurricane Sandy would put Ginsburg’s previous proposed development in the flood area, Foster said. The new entrepreneurial activity on the city’s waterfront has been confined to the east side of the Metro-North tracks, leaving intact Peekskill’s roughly four miles of riverfront parkland.

preserving it and encourage its use by building connecting walkways and shoring up eroding shoreline, Foster said. She said the city redirected part of an $8 million state grant awarded before the recession by Empire State Development Corp. to the parkland work. The mayor credited the vision of the city’s master planners in the 1970s who laid out a scheme for Peekskill’s postindustrial waterfront “that was both ecological
and had economic development. You can do both. You don’t have to do one or the other.” “It is a model for what you can do with waterfront property,” she said. Both downtown and on the waterfront, the city’s youthful entrepreneurs have been developing a local model for business collaboration. “We have a large group of people under 40 opening up restaurants and businesses,”
said Foster. “It’s a collaborative spirit, not a competitive spirit.” On the Evening Star, Capt. Driscoll offers weekly wine tasting cruises in partnership with the owner of Dylan’s Wine Cellar, a 2-year-old family business at 50 Hudson Ave. across the railroad tracks from the city dock. It is also a short stroll from the Metro-North station, where about 2,000 commuters pass through daily, noted the wine and spirits shop’s co-owner and operator, Steven Zwick. A 33-year-old Peekskill native, Zwick lives within walking distance of his business at Riverbend Peekskill, another Ginsburg project overlooking the Hudson. A former retail branch manager at Citibank, he abandoned that career in the financial crisis. “My wife and I were looking at starting up a store like this,” he said. “It was an opportune time to get out. I have my second career at an early age.” “We all kind of work together,” Zwick said of the city’s small business owners, “so we get overflow from the Yellow Brick Café and the brewery.” “We’re all in it together, that’s the good thing about the businesses in Peekskill. We all work together.” “River towns 50 years ago were driven by large industry,” Foster said. “We still have large industry, but now we’re driven by small businesses.”

Job growth gains traction
‘Slow and steady crawl out of a dark hole’ BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com
J
ob numbers continued to increase while unemployment decreased in the Westchester-Putnam-Rockland region. The battered construction industry finally joined the upswing, adding 4 points to its employment percentage. According to numbers released by the state Labor Department, the three counties gained 7,500 private sector jobs from March to April, an increase of 1.6 percent, with an unemployment rate of 6 percent, third lowest in the state among metropolitan areas. The unemployment rate in Westchester fell to 6.1 percent – fifth best in the state – down from 6.8 percent in March and 6.7 percent in April 2012. Putnam’s unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent – fourth best in the state – down from 6.3 percent for both March and for April 2012. Rockland’s unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent, second lowest in the state, down from 6.4 percent in March and 6.6 percent in April 2012. From April 2012 to April 2013, the region gained 4,500 jobs, a 1 percent increase. In the region, trade, transportation
and utilities added 1,200 jobs over the past month, a 1.1 percent increase and 2,600 jobs over the past year, a 2.5 percent increase. There are 636,500 people employed in the three counties and 35,000 people unemployed. Westchester accounts for the bulk of that metric: 440,000 people employed, with 25,000 unemployed. Professional and business services added 1,200 jobs over the past month, a 1.6 percent increase and 2,400 jobs over the past year, a 3.3 percent increase. Leisure and hospitality had the biggest gain over the past month, adding 3,200 jobs, a 7.2 percent increase. Over the past year, the seasonally dependent leisure/hospitality sector actually lost 600 jobs, a 0.6 percent decrease. Dan Conte, president of the Westchester Hotels Association, attributes the leisure/hospitality increase to hotels ramping up staff ahead of the summer season. Conte said hotels routinely add employees in April and May, especially hotels with outside pool areas. Conte said while any increase is good, job losses over the past year remain a concern. Hotels remain behind pre-recession staffing levels, he said. Education and health services added 600 jobs over the past month, a 0.5 percent
increase and 1,800 jobs over the past year, a 1.5-percent increase. Construction, which has been shedding jobs, gained 1,100 jobs over the past month, a 4 percent increase. Over the past year, it still lost 500 jobs, a 1.7 percent decrease. Ross Pepe, president of the Tarrytownbased Construction Industry Council, said construction jobs typically increase in the spring, as there is an increase in work over the summer. He said the state has also awarded several new contracts for road resurfacing. “It’s improving,” Pepe said. “It’s a slow process of pulling out of a five-year recession. It’s going to take time. We won’t see a major shift in job opportunities until later this year leading into 2014.” The construction of a new Tappan Zee Bridge should prove a boost to the beleaguered industry. Pepe said private construction jobs are also improving and schools are undertaking projects again. Pepe hopes the public sector continues to push for infrastructure improvements. “Governments have to come up with a good plan for how these projects work and can be funded,” Pepe said. “Unless the work is performed now, it will only cost more later.” Manufacturing was flat month to month,
but over the past year the sector lost 700 jobs, a 2.8 percent decrease. Westchester-Rockland-Putnam’s 1 percent increase in job growth ranks ninth among New York’s 14 Metro Areas. Allison Madison of White Plains-based Reinhardt-Madison Approach Staffing, said while job numbers are increasing, it’s not fast enough. “The economy is making a very slow and steady crawl out of the dark hole,” Madison said. “Just to keep pace with people entering the workforce, we need to be adding 130,000 jobs a month. Until you start exceeding that by significant numbers, you won’t be making a dent in unemployment.” Madison said while the unemployment rate is low, many people remain underemployed or have simply given up. New York state’s private sector job count has reached an all-time high with 7,452,100 employed in April. Since January 2011, the state has added 339,000 private sector jobs. From March to April, the state’s unemployment rate fell from 8.2 percent to 7.8 percent, its lowest level since March 2009. The number of unemployed in New York state fell by 35,000 to 748,500. The national unemployment rate is 7.5 percent.

ing Bloomingdale Road hub of retail stores and restaurants. The developer has proposed to build a traffic circle at the East Post Road and South Broadway intersection to improve vehicular flow and pedestrian movement. In place of the Connecticut landlord’s tenant-depleted mall, the development would create a “24-hour community” of apartment dwellers, retail, restaurant, health club and spa customers, office workers and hotel guests. Designed by Perkins Eastman Architects P.C, the project was laid out in concept plans presented this month to the White Plains Common Council. Willing L. Biddle, president and CEO of Urstadt Biddle Properties, said in the company submission that a formal
site plan will be presented to city officials for review after “market opportunities are further explored.” Biddle in an email to the Business Journal stressed that the company’s application to the city was for a zone change – from an enclosed mall to a central business district classification – and not for “the actual development.” The project as planned would require a special permit to exceed zoning height limits for the central business district. The developer has plans to build 550 market-rate apartments of 1,000 square feet each in 30-story, 335-foot and 315-foot towers on the north and west sides of the property. Two nine-story buildings also are planned. The redevelopment would include a 180-room, 100,000-square-foot hotel that would generate an estimated $207,000 annually in hotel occupancy tax revenue for the city and White Plains School District, according to a fiscal impact analysis by
Urbanomics, the developer’s consultant. A 54,000-square-foot health club on South Broadway also is planned, along with 15,000 square feet of office space and 139,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space that includes a 32,000-square-foot spa in one of the residential towers. The complex when completed would employ an estimated 474 workers. Roughly 840 construction jobs would be created for each year of the building project, which is expected to take 18 months to two years. Urbanomics calculated the redevelopment would generate approximately $10.6 million in annual municipal revenue from property taxes and hotel and sales taxes. One-time development fees would add an estimated $2.9 million to city coffers. The sprawling complex would require approximately $5.3 million annually in total public expenditures, compared with $457,000 in yearly municipal expenses for File Photo

crops, it is so tough to get any changes in the law,” said Pawelski, who tills 99 acres in Orange County’s village of Florida with his father and brother under the Pawelski Farms banner. “To say it’s like pulling teeth is an understatement. The Midwest benefits from a lot of programs created in the New Deal when these were the primary crops.” U.S. Reps. Sean Maloney and Chris Gibson authored a small-crop insurance provision, called CROP, which survived House of Representatives scalpels in committee 36-10 and is now part of the larger House version of Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) act of 2013. The bill now goes to the full House for consideration. Maloney, a Democrat from Cold Spring, also revived provisions that died in 2008 to preserve the rich black dirt of the sort Pawelski farms. The Senate May 21 took up its version of the bill, which, if passed, would need to reconcile with the House version before a final vote by both chambers. Presidents typically embrace farm bills, but George W. Bush did not and saw his veto of the 2008 farm bill overridden 80-14 in the Senate and 317-109 in the House. “Agriculture tends to be bipartisan,” said Pawelski, a fourth-generation farmer. “I’m a member of the farmers party; whoever can do the most for farmers – Republican or Democrat – that’s who I’m for. “The difference this year is we have someone on our team in the Senate; last time we had no one,” said Pawelski. John Hall, former 18th District representative, “got a black dirt conservation provision in the 2008 bill, a major accomplishment. But when the Senate took up the bill, Tom Harkin” – junior senator from Iowa – “saw it as a threat and it was

the existing Westchester Pavilion. Urstadt Biddle 10 years ago bought the 185,000-square-foot mall from the Wisconsin state investment board for $39.9 million. In the last few years it has lost several retailers, including anchor tenants Borders Books and Music and Toys “R” Us/Babies “R” Us, which this year relocated to nearby City Center. One of its few remaining tenants, Sports Authority, reportedly also plans to relocate in Westchester County. The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors is headquartered on the building’s top floor. Founded in 1969, Urstadt Biddle Properties owns 20 shopping centers in Westchester and manages three more in the county. Focusing primarily on groceryanchored open-air shopping centers, the company owns properties in five states, most of them in the metropolitan New York area, which total more than 5 million square feet of gross leasable area.

removed. We had no dog in the fight with the Senate agriculture committee.” New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand now sits on the committee. But highlighting the sausagelike nature of making laws, she voted “nay” May 14 in committee, objecting to what she saw as “drastic cuts” to the federal supplemental nutrition program, SNAP. The legislation moved to the full Senate on a 15-5 vote. The Senate took up its farm bill May 21 and immediately moved to strike $333 million in tobacco insurance subsidies over 10 years, indicating the horse-trading will continue. On May 17 the Congressional Budget Office wrote the Senate’s agriculture committee in response to a budget inquiry. “CBO estimates that direct spending stemming from the program authorization in S. 954” – the FARRM act – “would total $955 billion over the 2014-2023 period. That 10-year total reflects the bill’s authorization
of expiring programs through 2018 and an extension of those authorizations through 2023, consistent with the rules governing baseline projections that are specified in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.” Pawelski lauded Gibson, R-Kinderhook, and Maloney, for their legislative work in the House of Representatives. As a federal farm adviser for 17 years he routinely traveled to Washington, D.C., to testify at hearings; now as a board member of the Orange County Vegetable Growers Association, he advises Albany. He acknowledged the federal process is fraught with politics: “The House is a funny animal,” he said. “The whole farm bill has so many working parts it’s tough to figure what’s going to happen.” Besides specialty crop insurance and black dirt efforts, Maloney and Gibson have worked to include support for farmers markets and a program to help young farmers get started.
Maloney said specialty crops generate $1.4 billion for New York’s economy each year, fully one-third of New York’s agriculture output. “The Hudson Valley economy thrives on specialty crops, including fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture and nursery crops,” he said. Mark Adams is president of the Dutchess, Westchester, Putnam Farm Bureau. He also grows the garden plants and flowers inside five acres of greenhouses for Adams Fairacre Farms, with stores in Wappinger, Newburgh, Kingston and Poughkeepsie. “I’m the farmer on site,” he said. “My worry is there will be no vote this year,” Adams said. “If there’s no vote before the summer recess, I hope it comes back in the fall.” Adams said multiple storms – like Irene and Sandy in successive years – require a reinvention of the wheel bureaucratically before help arrives. “The point is to make things run more smoothly,” he said. “We’re talking about food here, which is important.” Adams said the state’s dairy farmers “have their backs to the wall.” The issue is less profound in southern New York, “But in St. Lawrence and Essex counties, I don’t know what they’d do without dairy.” So-called non-point pollution – when nutrients leave the barnyard and field for rivers and streams – is another issue of concern for Adams. One solution is manure digesters. “They look like those industrial Hess oil tanks you see along the river,” he said. “And they are expensive. But it’s a fact a lot of agriculture is low-lying near creeks and rivers. “Instead of talking about handouts, we’d like some of the taxes we pay to come back to the farmers,” Adams said. “You know the bumper sticker that says, ‘No farms, no food’? The other day I saw one that said, ‘No farms, no beer.’ That guy must be a hop farmer.”

Assisted living, times 2 BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com
T
he village of Pleasantville could become Westchester’s retirement destination. The Jewish Child Care Association (JCCA) is proposing a senior living facility on 7 acres of its 23-acre campus at 1075 Broadway in the village. A second assisted living proposal, on Bedford and Maple Hill roads, is also in the early stages. The JCCA presented its proposal to the village board at a recent work session. The preliminary plans call for a 35,000-square-foot, two- or three-story building containing between 75 and 100 units. The property is zoned residential. The JCCA operates the Pleasantville Cottage School, a treatment center for emotionally troubled youth. The building would go on a portion of the property not utilized and would not be run by the JCCA. The JCCA, which has had the land in Pleasantville for more than 100 years, would either sell or lease the land to an outside company. At the work session, Mayor Peter Scherer said Pleasantville would require the company be a for-profit venture to allow the village to collect tax revenue. “We expect to hear from them again in the coming months,” Village Administrator Patricia Dwyer said. “We don’t have any immediate concerns about the plans they are presenting.” Recently, Benchmark Senior Living, based in Wellesley, Mass., proposed turning a 3.5-acre parcel behind the United Methodist Church at the intersection of Bedford and Maple Hill roads into a 24,000-square-foot, 87-unit assisted living facility. Benchmark is in contract with the church to buy the property, contingent on receiving approvals from the village. The village board is weighing the creation of a floating zone that would allow assisted living on parcels larger than three acres. Aside from Benchmark’s proposal, the village operates the Clinton Street Center, age-restricted housing for seniors who do not require assistance. Benchmark said it remains committed to its site at the Methodist Church. Benchmark’s proposal has opposition, including a group called United Homeowners of Pleasantville that launched an online petition against the project. The group, mostly neighbors of the property, fears the facility will be out of character with the neighborhood and the village.

WCC to ‘stand up’ for women veterans BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com
H
elping women transition from military to civilian life is the focus of a June 7 event at Westchester Community College in Valhalla. The scope of “Stand Up for Women Veterans of the United States Armed Forces” is as broad as the needs are diverse of the women the day is designed to serve. With participation from some 50 local businesses and social services groups, “Stand Up” will offer veterans free employment assistance, health screenings and private counseling and legal services, complemented by spiritual wellness amenities such as spa treatments. Identifying and helping serve the particular needs of these women as former service members, caregivers, wives and mothers is the day’s goal, said Camille F. Murphy, the executive director of the Women’s Research and Education Fund. “Services aren’t as geared toward female veterans, for the veteran services, as we would want them,” Murphy said. She said the event is aimed at reaching female veterans of all ages but especially those who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s a way to gather everyone for networking, lectures and workshops in one place and also spotlight what is available daily, she added. “Everybody can use it, and really, it’s a way we’re showcasing the services.” The day is being presented by L.I.V.E. (Lanza Family Investment in Veterans Empowerment), with main sponsors including Family Services of Westchester, Westchester Community College and Women’s Research and Education Fund in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor Women’s Bureau. Helping women veterans find employment is at the top of the day’s goals, said Murphy. “Jobs, jobs… getting them independent. Getting them working.” But the needs go far deeper, she added. “We felt very strongly that social services were needed.” Sometimes, Murphy said, it’s as basic as revamping a resume, showing a veteran how to present their military skills as something that translates to the civilian workplace – and recognizing the value of their experience. “Of all the people I’ve talked to, they would love a veteran on staff,” Murphy said, noting the discipline required to be successful in the military. There might be deeper issues that also need to be addressed, such as homelessness, which she said tends to be a hidden issue with women veterans. “It is different,” Murphy said. “The men
are in the streets,” while homeless women tend to hop from one friend’s couch to another. Hopes are high that the word will spread and women veterans from Manhattan to Albany will take advantage of this special day. “We expect to reach a couple of thousand,” Murphy said. Those who attend are expected to benefit from veteran-to-veteran bonding. To that end, a trio of women veterans who are part of the Veterans Writing Workshop will read
from their work. David Surface, founder and instructor with the veterans group that grew out of Fordham University, said the writing often provides an outlet, a sense of camaraderie and the chance to hear and participate in constructive criticism. “These are important skills in whatever setting,” he said. The veterans’ stories, he said, do not have to focus on their service. “It’s not therapy,” he said. “The point
is to give you a place to work on your life skills.” Surface said group members “come in with a desire to tell their stories” – something that mirrors the June 7 gathering Registration is required for the free event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Westchester Community College. Breakfast, lunch, child care and transportation will be offered. For more details or to register, call (914) 872-5242 or email nedelhauser@fsw.org.
IF WARREN BUFFETT SAID ‘BUY,’ WOULD YOU? Here’s what the Oracle of Omaha had to say in his annual letter to shareholders after Berkshire Hathaway bought 28 newspapers in 15 months:
“THE WORLD HAS CHANGED ... NEWSPAPERS CONTINUE TO REIGN SUPREME, HOWEVER, IN THE DELIVERY OF LOCAL NEWS.” “THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A LOCAL NEWSPAPER THAT IS DOING ITS JOB” “PAPERS DELIVERING COMPREHENSIVE AND RELIABLE INFORMATION TO TIGHTLY BOUND COMMUNITIES AND HAVING A SENSIBLE INTERNET STRATEGY WILL REMAIN VIABLE FOR A LONG TIME.” That’s what the Business Journals are all about.

Making Time For Finance We have a billing accuracy and timeliness issue. It’s hard for me to tell what’s going on with our income, expenses, profits, loans and bank accounts. I don’t trust what I’m looking at, but I’m not sure how to fix it.
tHoUGHts oF tHe DaY: As data gets entered into the accounting system, it is subjected to interpretation. In addition, many companies have employees doing data entry who have not been formally trained in accounting practices potentially leading to misclassification of expenses. Errors can pop up in unpredictable ways and lead to misrepresentation of what’s going on. When it comes to data entry, there is
potential for error everywhere: • prices to charge to clients, • acceptance of bills from vendors and credit card companies, • assignment of costs to proper cost categories, • recording of expenses against cost centers, and • use of balance sheet versus income statement accounts. It is essential to make sure that reports are accurate and meaningful to the people who rely on them to interpret how the business is doing. start with approvals for entry into the accounting system. So often the accounting staff gets blamed for errors when the problem lies further up the chain. As transactions become more automated, they move faster, with less of a paper

trail. Charges from credit card firms and bank accounts get dumped into accounting systems as part of the reconciliation process. Vendors can send in bills that slip past traditional controls. A clerk in accounting may not know what’s legit and what’s in error. Look at the steps bills go through. Decide who gives approval and who indicates what accounting categories are to be used. Make sure that both line management and accounting experts are involved in oversight. proof entries by category –– revenue, cost of goods sold and overhead for the income statement, assets and liabilities for the balance sheet. Assign people responsibility to review sections of transactions. Correct transactions that double up – two months of rent in one month, nothing in the next. In many companies invoices to custom-

ers automatically generate as soon as products are shipped or as billable hours are input. Make sure sales and customer service oversee charges going to customers. Set up a system of line-management review in order to identify red flags, to catch and fix problems before they hit customers’ desks. separate reconciliation from data entry. When doing reconciliations formally record all questions for review and correction. Treat errors as teaching opportunities. Reduce errors by setting up memorized transactions. Identify and routinely focus on high-error rate categories. educate staff involved with data entry. If they do not have accounting training, make that part of their development plan. Once they have the basics down, encourage additional courses to increase their ability to contribute. Promote people who are persistent about getting reports to be accurate, weed out people who are just going through the motions. turn to accountants and business analysts for help setting up routines. Ask them to show you how to use the general ledger and transaction by account and reconciliation reports to proof entries. Set up periodic audits to spot check data. share reports with line managers and ask them to send in questions. They can spot things that “don’t make sense” from their perspective. Create a form that managers can use to send back inquiries, which will allow people in accounting time to review questions and make corrections. Don’t send the company down a path doomed to failure because plans are based on inaccurate information. Encourage people to question reports, rather than standing pat that once a report is printed it’s correct. Insure that everyone up and down the line believes that the numbers are correct. Then you can confidently use historical data as a foundation for planning the future of the business.

After months of lawsuits, the town of Greenburgh is poised to find an owner for

the former Frank’s Nursery property. Despite the potential sale – scheduled for a town board vote May 22 – the threat of litigation still looms. On May 20, the town of Greenburgh announced it had reached an agreement to sell the 6.9 acre foreclosed property at 715 Dobbs Ferry Road to Game On 365 L.L.C. for $3 million. Game On 365 will turn the property into the Westchester Fieldhouse, a $6.9 million indoor sports facility. The sale was pending approval at a May 22 town board meeting that occurred after press time. The town said Game On 365 will pay the full property tax levy, and assume responsi-

bility for environmental cleanup and remediation. The town was considering an offer from Elm Street Sports Group L.L.C for $3.5 million. Elm Street Sports runs the House of Sports which opened in Ardsley last year. Game On 365 will make an initial payment of $1.7 million, and then pay $1.3 million once the town approves its plans. Game On 365 initially offered $1.65 million. While Elm Streets Sports offered the town more money, Supervisor paul Feiner said that its offer came with various conditions before the town saw a dime. Feiner pointed out Elm Street Sports CEO Donald scherer has previously called the site “The Three Mile Island of Westchester” due to carcinogens found on the property. “We feel their whole goal has been to not build anything,” Feiner said. “We would have nothing on the property.” Scherer laughed off Feiner’s allegations. “Why would I do that?” Scherer said. “My business is almost 100 percent occupied, I am looking to expand. That’s just silly. If the town had been selling the property from the beginning, we would’ve bid on it.” Scherer is not taking his rejection lying down, threatening to file a lawsuit against the town and Game On 365, claiming he would have offered more money and the town was always going to pick Game On 365. “We were never really in it,” Scherer said. “We emailed the town time and time again and only met with them twice briefly. We wanted to work the property and needed answers, and we were ignored.” Scherer said the conditions Game On 365 put on the purchase means the town will never get the $1.3 million. “The town has a clear legal obligation to take the highest bidder when selling property,” Scherer said. “Our bid was higher and we have more experience. Game On 365 has no money, it’s so egregious. They are selling the property without proof of income.” Since the beginning, Scherer has said the game has been rigged by the town for Game On 365. “Feiner has worked with the company to draft and promote the RFP,” Scherer said. “Why are they working with a company with no money? Why does Paul Feiner have this tight-knit relationship with a developer when taxpayers are not benefiting. There must be something else going on. It’s corruption.” Feiner said he has no financial interest in the property and Game On 365 is prohibited from donating to his campaign. Feiner said Elm Street Sports has offered donations to anyone who runs against Feiner. “They really don’t want competition,” Feiner said. “I cannot benefit personally and I cannot be helped by Game On 365. This is probably hurting me since my opponents will get substantial donations from Elm Street Sports.” – Sam Barron and John Golden

KATHRYN S. WYLDE, PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE PARTNERSHIP FOR NYC, LUNCHEON KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT GROUNDBREAKING “RETHINKING WESTCHESTER” CONFERENCE ON JUNE 21
I
n the late 1970s, New York City teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Crime was prevalent, the middle class had fled, and vacant commercial inventory was soaring. One of those who came to the rescue was David Rockefeller who founded The Partnership for New York City, a private-sector initiative to restore the economic vitality of the city. Kathryn S. Wylde, keynote speaker at WCA’s groundbreaking “Rethinking Westchester: a Blueprint for Smart Growth” conference on June 21, became the Partnership’s founding president in 1982. She also was founding president and chief executive officer of the Partnership Fund, a $120 million civic fund, that has helped to diversify New York City’s economy, create thousands of jobs, and promote entrepreneurial business initiatives across the five boroughs. Today, the Partnership for New York City is the city’s leading business organization, working with leaders of business, government, labor and the not-for-profit sectors to build a stronger New York, with a focus on education, infrastructure, and the economy. New York City’s great economic boo m is due in large part to the work of the Partnership in collaboration with government. The parallels to the WCA’s BLUEPRINT for Westchester—our major initiative to drive economic vitality in Westchester County—couldn’t be clearer. And at “Rethinking Westchester,” a BLUEPRINT conference, Ms. Wylde will give us the inside story about how the P3 collaboration works for New York City during her keynote speech. She then will join others on the Public-Private Partnerships panel to discuss innovative approaches to funding.

WCA SEMINAR EXPLAINS HOW LDCs WORK Westchester’s not-for-profit organizations learned how to reduce the cost of their debt at a Westchester County Association (WCA) seminar on May 8 on leveraging Westchester’s new Local Development Corporation (LDC). The Westchester County Association and its economic development arm, the BLUEPRINT for Westchester, were the leading advocates in collaboration with the nonprofit, business, and labor sectors, for the adoption by the county of the LDC which is designed specifically to help nonprofit organizations have access to low-interest tax-exempt financing for major capital projects. “It’s easy to overlook the economic contributions of our county’s not-for-profit organizations, but they provide thousands of jobs and infuse billions of dollars into the Westchester economy,” explains Marissa Brett, the WCA’s executive director for economic development who leads the BLUEPRINT. “The LDC will allow nonprofits to borrow low-cost money to expand, creating construction and trade jobs at a time when new construction is slow.”

WEDC’s no-nonsense business model Classes boost solid plans, avoid would-be busts
By Bill Fallon bfallon@westfairinc.com

ris Burkat’s corporate history was in finance and travel-related services – “mostly travel” – for the likes of American Express, CitiBank and Merrill-Lynch. The single moment that told her it was time to move on came during “one of those recessions in the ’90s,” she said, and it came with an audience. “I was at a conference in front of 300 people and the head of the company introduced me as a consultant,” Burkat said. “I was shocked. Up till that moment I had been full time. I was now a sole practitioner working with the same clients.” Consultancy agreed with her as she raised son Oliver, now 28 and living in Brooklyn. “It was a wonderful time for me,” she said. Her consulting included client work in travel, finance and fundraising. It was also “slow and busy, busy and slow,” lacking consistency. “I needed focus.” Last fall, Burkat enrolled in a Women’s Economic Development Center (WEDC) course. “I was bullied by my instructor until I could explain my focus,” she said. She graduated Dec. 12. Her class was one of three offered countywide. She now runs her one-woman business from her Hastings home, acknowledging help from husband, Howard Burkat. “Vice president and communications director,” she called him. With multiple University of Pennsylvania degrees between them, plus her MBA from NYU, they possess a worthy in-house talent pool. “What I liked about WEDC’s mission was that working with WEDC would help me focus where I wanted to take my consulting company,” she said. “Having worked for large companies, I thought I could do everything. As a sole practitioner, I did not have the time or the resources to do everything. I had helped develop strategic plans for so many companies – long- and shortterm – but I never had a plan for myself. My understanding was WEDC was good at this. It worked out exactly as I expected. “As an entrepreneur working more or less on your own, the focus and initial planning is what’s most important: knowing what you’re up against.”
Iris Burkat outside her Hastings home office.
Specifically, Burkat learned from WEDC of the need for an elevator pitch, a marketing plan, knowledge of the competition and of the market. “Cash flow was a real eye-opener,” she said. “They talked about how much you need to put out before you can bring in.” Persephone Zill is senior program specialist and business counselor for WEDC, overseeing training programs at its 1133 Westchester Ave., White Plains, headquarters. WEDC is classified a women’s business center of the U.S. Small Business Administration, which partly funds it, and is also an arm of the state Economic Development Corp.’s entrepreneurial assistance program. WEDC employs 10, but it actively also works with outside consultants. “We hear of the difficulties encountered by those over 50 who are looking for work,” Zill said. “At WEDC, we don’t have to adapt because we’ve been here to help in this area for 15 years.” WEDC offers three, 15-week, 60-hour courses: one each in Yonkers, White Plains and, the most recent class addition, in Spanish in New Rochelle. A class typically has 20 students and of those two or three are older than 50. The courses cost $120.
The older students fall into one of three categories, according to Zill: those who can’t find jobs in a tough economy; those who have reached retirement age, yet still need income; and those with a passion. “It’s hard to say if there’s a consistent trend, but those are the big three reasons we see,” she said. One trend, however, has been the shift from goods to services. “Fewer products, more services online,” Zill said. “For the post50 students, it tends to be more consulting work, but we also get interior design, hair cutting, restaurants, the full range of business ideas.” Nineteen percent of the students are men, who are welcome. Another trend has been toward healthy foods and holistic-themed businesses. “We are seeing people who want to enter the supply line for companies like Whole Foods,” she said. Three WEDC graduates have become part of the Whole Foods supply chain. Sometimes, the process leads to no business at all and Zill calls those results a success, too. About 25 percent of graduates will actually start a business. But for all students, said Zill, “We offer a lot of resources after the 15 weeks,” including monthly work-
shops, usually at 1133 Westchester Ave., and a November networking event. A typical workshop topic is working with the government. “For that we would have government agents there to answer questions.” Burkat’s first client is governmental: a travel-and-tourism blueprint for a state government in southern India. Projects in Mexico and South Africa also are afoot with the couple’s third trip to South Africa upcoming, its goal to streamline networks between the South African government and private tour operators. “I’m following the WEDC recipe,” Burkat said. “I was an expert in travel services and I loved it. I love finance, too, but WEDC has forced me to make a choice and I have opted for travel. At WEDC, one of the most important things they teach is to do what you love.” Those who make the leap into business are eligible for the LEAP Award, eight of which will be handed out at WEDC’s annual luncheon June 12 at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. Each LEAP (Lanza Enterprise Award Program) award comes with a $5,000 check, owing to the support of Harrisonbased Lanza Family Foundation. The public is invited to the lunch, which has a link at the WEDC.org website. WCBJ • May 27, 2013

Top jobs find just a few industries BY SAM BARRON sbarron@weatfairinc.com

n Westchester, it pays to be in biotech, health care or working in human resources. Those are some of the hottest jobs according to two Westchester employment agencies. Other hot jobs include digital marketing and accounting. “Those are the jobs that we’ve been hearing about over the last six to nine months,” Richard Greenwald of White Plains-based Concorde Personnel Inc. said. “I think companies are realizing the bottom is not falling out and they need more people.” As the economy continues its recovery, businesses are buying up buildings and selling more products, especially with interest rates at low levels. “I’m surprised it’s ramped up so quickly,” Greenwald said. “It’s gotten very busy over the last six months. Companies are spending money and bringing in additional people.” Greenwald credits the rising stock market as another reason companies have money to hire. He said when companies are hiring, they generally look for employees with specific skill sets. “If they don’t have it, then they need to have the ability to adapt,” Greenwald said. “Employers look for someone with good energy, a great attitude. They are looking for people who are very can-do.” Greenwald said companies now seek digital marketers and people who can analyze search engines like Google, since companies are concerned about their web presence. “It’s web this and web that; companies want bigger growth,” Greenwald said. “Does a company get discussed on social media? How many clicks does it get? Anything web related has to be part of the way you think and talk about these days. What can companies do to get more visible?” Greenwald said businesses are looking to staff legal departments, particularly with so many mergers and acquisitions going on. He thinks companies that perhaps laid off six people might rehire three back. With more hiring, human resources has become another popular job. “There’s definitely a reason to hire,” Greenwald said. “These companies have gotten busier. You need more people.” Allison Madison, who runs White Plainsbased Reinhard-Madison Approach Staffing said the skilled worker is sought after in Westchester. “Journeymen, skilled craftsmen, high-
end trade, it’s in high demand,” Madison said. “The skilled craftsmen are harder to find. Fewer people go into them. It’s an indemand skill.” Madison said she would tell a student they’d be better off going to trade school than going to a traditional university. “The field is saturated with college kids who don’t have job prospects,” Madison said. “If I stand on a street and throw a stone, I’ll hit a few lawyers. I won’t hit a plumber.” Madison said employers are looking for positions like accounts, particularly tax accountants, and bookkeepers. “Employers realize that QuickBooks is harder than they thought,” Madison said. “If you take classes in QuickBooks and get certified, it can help you move toward becoming an accountant. You get your foot in the door.” Madison said health care and biotech jobs have also become popular in Westchester, especially in science with its years of training and niche focus. “You cannot just walk off the street and say I want to be a scientist,” Madison said. Health care has become a particularly hot field, though it remains to be seen how the Affordable Care Act will impact the industry. Madison said nursing and physicians assistants are the most in-demand careers. “Doctors are going to become harder to access,” Madison said. “You’ll see an intermediary, which will be the physician assistant. The physician assistant will take on a more day-to-day role.” Madison said the best education is a trade school or majoring in a so-called STEM regimen: science, technology, engineering, mathematics. “We are lucky that Westchester has a diverse economy and is not heavily weighted in one sector,” Madison said. Marsha Gordon, CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, sees many areas with growth potential in Westchester. “We have seen the growth of biotech and anything related to health care,” Gordon said. “Not just scientists, but a lot of the support jobs that go along with the development of this hot sector.” Finance and professional service jobs remain strong in Westchester, Gordon said, and destinations like Empire City Casino and the county’s Meet Me in Westchester tourism campaign have added jobs and led to the growth of the hotel industry. “We’ve done a great job marketing Westchester,” Gordon said. “That leads to job creation.”

Where Lincoln stopped, volunteers muster for a museum BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com
“I will say in a single sentence, in regard to the difficulties that lie before me and our beloved country, that if I can only be as generously and unanimously sustained as the demonstration I have witnessed indicate I shall be, I shall not fail; but without your sustaining hands I am sure that neither I nor any other man can hope to surmount these difficulties. I trust in the course I shall pursue I shall be sustained not only by the party that elected me, but by the patriotic people of the whole country.” – Abraham Lincoln, Peekskill, Feb. 19, 1861.
“H
e gave pretty much the same speech at every stop,” John G. Testa tells us inside the old train depot being restored to new use on Peekskill’s South Water Street, also known as Abraham Lincoln Way. But those other whistle stops have not sustained the collective memory and the brick-and-mortar sites of Lincoln’s four-sentence address – the man knew how to write a long sentence – as Peekskill has. The city on the Hudson was the president-elect’s only stop in Westchester County on the long journey by rail from his home in Springfield, Ill., to his inauguration in Washington, D.C. “Besides the Springfield station, this is the only other station that survived from Lincoln’s trip,” says Testa, who has taken a midday leave from his teaching job at Peekskill High School to meet us at the Lincoln Depot Museum, a civic work in progress on Abraham Lincoln Way. You will find it tucked away behind the massive Homestyle Desserts Bakery and the busy lumber yard of N. Dain’s Sons Co. on the east side of the Metro-North Railroad tracks. The Dain family had been doing business on the Peekskill riverfront for more than a decade when Lincoln mounted a baggage cart to address its patriotic people – and never mind that the city’s election tally had not gone in his favor that past November. Lincoln apparently was willing to do a favor for a colleague from his two-year stint in Congress, Peekskill attorney William Nelson. It was Nelson who invited him to stop there on his journey. Testa is of the party that elected Lincoln, a veteran of the partisan battles that these days rage in White Plains as a Republican county legislator. But his volunteer work as president of the 7-year-old Lincoln Depot Foundation transcends his work as a politician, though that is where it began. Testa was mayor of Peekskill from 2002 to 2007, when Republicans were in their glory in New York in the gubernatorial reign of Peekskill’s former mayor, George Pataki. For about a century, Peekskill’s Lincoln Society had annually commemorated his historic stop from a bluff that overlooked the privately owned former depot. Its owner ran a heating and air conditioning business and on the property sat Quonset huts – of World War II rather than Civil War vintage – and an assemblage of road-weary trucks. “He used this as his workshop,” Testa says inside the brick depot being transformed as a digitally wired, glass-paneled contemporary museum of Lincolnera and Civil War artifacts and exhibits. “He would do his sheet metal work here.”

Under Mayor Testa, the city secured a grant and in 2004 purchased the property for about $350,000. The city relocated the seller’s HVAC business. “We didn’t use any city funds for it,” says Testa. “That was a long struggle, getting the property,” says Patrick Garvey, chairman of the Lincoln Depot Foundation board. A former Peekskill city manager in the late ’90s and a general in the Marine Corps Reserve, Garvey’s long journey in private business and New York’s public sector led him to Peekskill when he served as commander of Camp Smith in Cortlandt Manor. In 2006, the city under Mayor Testa was awarded an approximately $8.2 million state grant for its waterfront revitalization program (see related story, p.2). Of that, $3 million went to the newly incorporated Lincoln Depot nonprofit for its museum project. That a Peekskill guy whose mayoral portrait hangs in City Hall occupied the governor’s office at the time of the grant application helped the museum cause. “One thing about George, he never forgot where he came from,” says Garvey. “The theme is Lincoln and New York,” Garvey says of the museum’s focus, “the indispensible relationship.” Without New York and especially the soldiers its cities and towns and villages sent to war, Lincoln could not have succeeded in saving the Union, he says. Restoring the depot site as a Hudson Valley destination for history-minded tourists was to be a public-private partnership. Ginsburg Development Companies, whose planned residential development east of the tracks was to be part of the waterfront revitalization effort, paid for artist Richard Mazlowski’s “Lincoln in Peekskill” statue erected in 2007 outside the museum. But the recession and
housing market crisis sidelined the developer in Peekskill. It remains a public-private partnership, as the city of Peekskill is to use a share of its state grant to build a visitor’s center and plaza on the museum grounds. That construction has been delayed, leaving the Lincoln Depot Foundation without an anticipated source of revenue to sustain museum operations when it opens and resulting in about $300,000 in additional construction expenses for the volunteer group, says Testa. Testa seems testy when speaking of the Democratic city council’s delays in getting the visitor’s center built. “It’s been a frustration for us,” says Susan Jacobson, the foundation’s executive director and co-owner of Talk Cinema in Peekskill, “because people from all corners of the Hudson Valley have been waiting for us to open.” The volunteers hope that opening will be this fall. “It’s been in various stages for eight or nine years now,” says Garvey. The $3 million “is going to cover everything to the point where we can open the museum,” he says. After that, “You have to have philanthropy investing. You have to have private business. So the next phase will be very challenging.” “We’re looking for corporate sponsors,” says Testa, “anyone who is willing to help us with maintenance.” Outside on the depot platform, a historical marker tells another Lincoln story from Peekskill. Four years and two months after his whistle stop address, a funeral train passed through here. Citizens of Peekskill gathered along the tracks two hours before the train’s arrival. It was 7 p.m. Lincoln’s body was on its way home to Springfield. WCBJ • May 27, 2013
