his is sort of like going back to the ‘80s,” said Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino, speaking at a ceremony under a tent against a backdrop of hardhat workers, dump trucks and backhoes spread over a broad expanse of recently excavated ground in Purchase. Along the county’s Interstate-287 office-park corridor, “We’re actually building another office building,” he said.

Not since the late 1980s has Westchester seen a work in progress like the one started this summer in the Harrison Executive Park by Bronxbased Simone Healthcare Development Group and Greenwich-based Fareri Associates L.P. The development partners, led by Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development Cos., and John J. Fareri, president of Fareri Associates, have teamed to build a four-story, 85,000 square-foot, single-tenant office building at 3030 Westchester Ave. Real estate professionals here say it will be the first class-A office building to rise in Westchester in 25 years.

Taxes a focus as Astorino, Bramson clash

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino said he kept the promises he made when elected in 2009, keeping the tax rate flat and cutting county spending. But his challenger, Democrat Noam Bramson, said the last four years weren’t a mission accomplished, with missed

opportunities of leadership from an executive he portrayed as part of the conservative fringe.

The two candidates traded jabs Oct. 2 at the first debate of the 2013 election campaign season, hosted by The Business Council of Westchester at the Reckson Metro Center in White Plains.

Astorino said when he became county executive in January 2010, Westchester faced a $66 million budget deficit and had seen a 17 percent

increase in county property taxes in the last five years.

“When we got into office, we were in a tailspin; this county was going in the wrong direction – taxing like crazy, spending like crazy, saying yes to everything,” Astorino said. With some “hard choices” that included cuts to staffing, during his tenure the tax levy has been reduced 2 percent. “That may Taxes, page 6

panel discusses indian point, fukushima lessons Future of nuclear power tackled by Nader, former Japan P.M. FiLE PHoTo by bob rozycki

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

“O

n the Beach,” the 1959 postapocalyptic movie starring Gregory Peck, told the story of a group of survivors coping with the aftereffect of nuclear war. Ralph Nader – the political activist, author and perpetual U.S. presidential candidate – said a nuclear power plant meltdown could be equally dramatic.

“There needs to be another movie, ‘On the Hudson,’ Indian Point,” he said.

Nader is a longtime opponent of the nuclear energy industry and co-author with John Abbotts of the 1979 book “Menace of Atomic Energy.” He was one of the speakers at an Oct. 8 panel discussion in Manhattan’s Upper East Side on the lessons to be learned from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi meltdown in 2011.

Nader said it would be nearly impossible to safely evacuate the area in the event of a meltdown at Indian Point, located in Buchanan about 30 miles outside of New York City. Even though the city is outside of the immediate 10-mile evacuation zone, he said panic would ensue and create chaos in the region. About 17 million people live in the 50-mile radius outside the power plant.

“People can hardly get out of New York City at rush hour time,” Nader said, saying a drill should be held to simulate the complexities of evacuating the region. “Any nuclear plant that does not have a live drill to make sure its evacuation plan is anything other than a fantasy plan cannot be allowed to operate.”

New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., which owns Indian Point Energy Center, is looking to relicense the plant’s dual reactors for another 20 years amid opposition from environmental groups like Riverkeeper, whose executive director Paul Gallay moderated the New York City discussion. Entergy first filed for renewal from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2007. The current relicensing is the lengthiest process of its kind in U.S. history and no plant in history has closed due to an expiring license.

Supporters have noted that Indian Point employs roughly 1,600 and produces 25

percent of electricity consumed in New York City and Westchester County. The Business Council of Westchester, of which Entergy is a member, conducted a study last year that said closing the power plant would drain $11.5 billion from the local economy, cause electric rates to jump 6.3 percent, increase the likelihood of blackouts by 280 percent and cause an uptick in carbon emissions from a shift to other forms of power.

Panelist Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer, called much of the logic in support of nuclear power plants “motivated reasoning” from business owners and policymakers. The forces at play are great, he said, and require unending around-the-clock maintenance.

“This is a technology that could have 40 good years wiped out in one bad day,” he said.

Gundersen said the Fukushima meltdown was caused when outside power was cut off by a high-magnitude earthquake followed by the coolant system being knocked out by tsunami flooding. As unlikely a combination as that might be, two terrorists willing to lose their lives could knock out the power and destroy the intake to cause a meltdown. Gundersen also took issue with the evacuation plan, saying he didn’t think it adequately addressed the possibility of other factors such as the flooding that Japan dealt with during its meltdown.

“It’s hard to evacuate when your neighbor’s house is floating down the street,” he said.

Jerry Nappi, a spokesman for Indian Point, said that the plant’s emergency plan was approved by the federal government and

is practiced and drilled on a regular basis. A booklet is distributed annually to residents and businesses within 10 miles of the plant.

As for the threat of terrorism, he said Entergy has spent $100 million since Sept. 11, 2001, on intrusion detection and prevention and other security measures. “The facility is one of the most secure and hardened nonmilitary industrial facilities in the world,” he said.

Naoto Kan, the prime minister of Japan during the crisis, was a member of the panel.

He said as a result of Fukushima all power plants in the country were shut down and were reviewed on a case-by-case basis to see if they should be reopened. Since Kan left office at the end of 2011, two plants have been cleared to reopen but are under maintenance. “We at least implemented a more difficult restart,” he said through an interpreter.

Former NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko, a panelist, visited Japan after the meltdown and met residents whose lives were permanently disrupted and who were displaced indefinitely. “You cannot put these impacts into dollars,” he said. Jaczko said he was against relicensing Indian Point as a broader policy question.

But Dale Klein, another former NRC chairman, released a written statement after the event saying that comparing Fukushima with Indian Point or Pilgrim Nuclear Station in Plymouth, Mass., was “intellectually dishonest.”

“The nuclear power plants at Fukushima Daiichi did not have the same improved safety systems as implemented at our U.S. power plants,” he said. “Comparing the U.S. nuclear plants to those that have no added new safety systems and procedures is simply wrong.”

There are slightly more than 100 active nuclear reactors in the U.S. and about 450 in the world. Nader said the fight isn’t about specific plants but nuclear power in general “if only to keep our descendants from cursing us.”

He blamed a powerful and politically influential nuclear lobby for the industry’s endurance over the years and outlined the complicated and potentially dangerous process of mining uranium, transporting it to power plants, creating a nuclear reaction, pumping billions of gallons of water to cool generators and then storing material that will remain radioactive for thousands of years just to produce heat or boil water. A fullfledged reactor meltdown, he said, would contaminate an area as large as the state of Pennsylvania. “Is this the kind of gamble we want to take to boil water?”

Entergy, a national company with annual revenues of more than $10 billion, bought Indian Point unit 2 from Con Edison in 2001, one year after it purchased unit 3 from the New York Power Authority. Unit 2’s permit expired last month, but has been extended until the NRC decides whether or not to relicense the reactor. Unit 3’s permit expires in December 2015. Indian Point 1 is no longer in use.

no boom, but a surge in county house sales

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

t J. Philip Real Estate L.L.C. in Briarcliff Manor, “I’m seeing what I believe is the beginning of a recovery” in the Westchester housing market, said broker-owner J. Philip Faranda. “Consumer confidence is returning and there’s an enormous amount of pent-up demand.”

Faranda had not yet seen the newly released third-quarter sales report from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, but its numbers might reinforce his optimistic outlook. Residential real estate closings in the summer quarter rose 31 percent in Westchester from the same period a year ago. Closings jumped 29 percent overall in the four-county region – which also includes Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties – served by the Realtors group’s subsidiary, the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service.

In Westchester, the listing service was notified of 2,943 completed sales of singlefamily houses, condominiums, cooperative apartments and two- to four-family buildings in the third quarter. Of the four categories, cooperatives saw the greatest spike in third-quarter deals, with 469 sales representing a 38 percent increase from a year ago.

The third-quarter activity included 1,991

closings on single-family homes, a 30 percent increase from the same quarter in 2012.

HGAR CEO Richard Haggerty in the report said that was the highest total for any quarter since 2005 for that property class.

In a separate report for Douglas Elliman Real Estate, consultant Jonathan J. Miller said the Westchester market’s quarterly sales total was the highest in more than 30 years.

Quarterly sale prices in the county generally rose at a more modest pace than sales volume. HGAR reported the median price of a single-family house was $652,050, up 3.5 percent from the same period a year ago.

Despite the spike in demand for co-op units, their median sale price in the county was unchanged from last year at $155,000. While the 372 condos sold in Westchester from July through September amounted to a nearly 35 percent increase from 2012, the median price of a condo rose less than 2 percent to $355,500.

More high-end properties, though, are being listed and sold in the county. HGAR reported an average sale price of $862,356 for a single-family house, a nearly 8 percent increase from a year ago. More than 24 percent of Westchester’s houses sold for $1 million or more in the recently ended quarter, while million-dollar-plus sales accounted for only 16 percent to 22 percent of sales throughout last year.

Haggerty in the HGAR report said the faster-paced sales have driven inventory on the market “to low but not market-killing amounts.” The third quarter ended with 3,328 listings of single-family houses, a 9 percent decrease from a year ago. The condominium market, with 507 end-of-quarter listings, saw the steepest drop in inventory at 22 percent.

“I still think there’s a fairly decent selection,” said Faranda, who serves as vice president of the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service. “We didn’t have an inventory crisis that they did in some parts of the country.”

At Houlihan Lawrence, president and CEO Stephen Meyers and managing principal Chris Meyers in their company’s thirdquarter report said they expect brokers in Westchester to close on about 5,400 sales for the year, “the most since 2005 and in line with the 20-year average annual level of homes sales.”

“If there is such a thing as a ‘normal’ housing market – one that is neither in decline nor booming unsustainably – this is it,” they wrote.

Faranda offered a similar view. “I think we’re in for a fairly long period of stability where prices will not spike and not decline and we might see modest appreciation for the foreseeable future,” he said.

In the faster-selling Westchester market, “Buyers are starting to do dumb things again,” Faranda observed. Those include signing contacts on new homes without having signed buyers for their current houses, waiving house inspections and, in another return to pre-recession behavior, engaging in “competitive bidding wars” with other prospective buyers.

“It’s not morning in America yet,” Faranda said of the Westchester market, “but we’ve sort of realized the sky’s not falling.”

International school eyes former IBM center

Once envisioned as the site of a new Westchester university by a Roman Catholic religious order, IBM’s former Thornwood Conference Center instead could be revived as a for-profit international boarding school by the same Swiss organization that runs a private school on the former Marymount College campus in Tarrytown.

At a work session of the Mount Pleasant Town Board, officials representing EF International Academy last month aired their proposal to open a second boarding school in Westchester for some 800 U.S. and foreign students on the former 265-acre IBM Corp. property at 582-590 Columbus Ave. Legion of Christ Inc., a religious nonprofit, bought the property from IBM for $33.7 million in 1996. It serves as headquarters for the Legionaries of Christ, an order of Roman Catholic priests that has been depleted by a drop in religious vocations, financial problems and Vatican-ordered reforms since scandalous sexual revelations

about the Legionaries’ founder surfaced after his death in 2008.

The Legionaries had proposed to build a Roman Catholic liberal arts university on an undeveloped 167-acre tract on the Thornwood property. The owner completed much of a required environmental review of the project but abandoned the plan because demand for the university failed to develop, a Legion of Christ spokesman said last year.

The Legionaries a year ago hired CBRE Group Inc. to market the Thornwood property for sale either to one buyer or to separate buyers of the undeveloped area, which is zoned for housing, and a 97-acre parcel that includes the 410,000-square-foot conference center and office building.

An attorney for EF Academy reportedly told town officials that a change in zoning code language is needed to allow a private for-profit school to occupy the center.

EF International Academy President

Mark Seman reportedly said the boarding school project would require only internal renovations, primarily to convert office space to dormitories and classrooms. He said the Thornwood school would hire about 100 employees.

Seman and Brian Mahoney, headmaster of EF Academy New York in Tarrytown, did not respond to requests for comment from the Business Journal.

Mount Pleasant Town Supervisor Joan Maybury also did not return a call for comment on the school proposal.

Outside the U.S., EF Academy operates three other boarding schools that offer international baccalaureate diploma programs and other high school-level studies, two in England and one in Vancouver, Canada.

The academy business is part of EF Education First, which describes itself as the largest private educational organization

All Shows will keep its sales and logistics team at its office in Manhattan’s Theater District.

The deal was brokered by Greg Frisoli and Larry Ruggieri, managing directors at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in Rye Brook, who represented the landlord.

“We viewed many different spaces, but after seeing this one and meeting with the remarkable management, we were sold,” said Dana Pierri, director of development and partnerships at All Shows. “We have found a home here.”

Westchester job market puts up solid numbers for September

By David Lewis

S

eptember was an active month for the Westchester County job market with a sizeable increase in open jobs posted of almost 18 percent vs. August, across multiple industries and towns.

As September tends to be a month where activity picks up after the typical slowdown for the late summer months, this news is both encouraging and not unexpected. With that said, Westchester is showing signs of bucking the trend the rest of the country is setting, with tepid job market activity results on a national basis.

those experienced are likely successful and leery of jumping to something new. Further, the learning and earning curve for a new sales job is typically estimated at six months or more before true productivity and corresponding commissions will arrive.

As Westchester County goes the interesting storyline will be whether or not the uncertainty surrounding the budget impasse and debt ceiling debate will force area busi-

nesses to take a wait-and-see attitude when it comes to further hiring and expansion.

Stay tuned.

David Lewis is president/CEO of WestchesterCountyJobs.com, the region’s most prolific job board with more than 100,000 area visitors a month to his network of job boards to view jobs from over 4,000 area employers. His monthly reports will address

the condition of the job market as measured by data from his sites, as well as data from state, federal and industry sources in the public domain.

You can learn more about David and his team at WestchesterCountyJobs.com.

Westchester is showing signs of bucking the trend the rest of the country is setting.

Some key items of note regarding September: • White Plains continues to show itself as the hub of job market activity, followed this month by Tarrytown and Yonkers.

• The industries most actively hiring this past month were health care, financial services and accounting.

• Top job categories were administrative, nursing and sales.

In looking at this month’s data there a few story lines. The county entered the month with a 6.3 percent unemployment rate compared with an 8 percent rate in January. Most of that gap was closed in Q1 2013, when the unemployment level dropped to 6.1 percent.

Since April, similar to neighboring counties, the number has languished. The national job market report for September was not released as scheduled due to the budget impasse, but other private-sector reports suggest that the rest of the country was neutral in job growth and slightly below expectations. That places Westchester ahead of the pack in job growth, a very positive sign.

One characteristic that consistently shows on job market reports throughout the region and for that matter the country is the number of companies trying to find talent to fill sales related roles. Post a position today on any job board in America for a sales role and you are likely to see it listed on page 2 or worse within 24 hours, all because so many sales-related positions are posted each day. Parts of the theory subscribed to by market watchers, including this one, is that small businesses have no infrastructure to train raw sales talent and as such are looking for experienced professionals. With that said

Building ­— From page 1

But the large corporations whose leasing needs drove the county’s office-park construction boom in the ‘70s and ‘80s are being replaced by a new breed of tenant: medical practices and other health care providers. Westmed Medical Group, the physician-owned multispecialty group practice headquartered in Purchase, will open its fifth full-service medical center at 3030 Westchester Ave. and occupy the entire building.

It will be the fourth building in the 13-acre, 160,000-square-foot office park owned by Simone Development. Fareri said 70 percent of office space in the park will have medical uses when the building opens in January 2015, up from 50 percent currently.

not even buy a couple of Starbucks over the next year but the arrow is going the right way, it’s been stabilized,” he said.

Bramson, mayor of New Rochelle, countered that tax increases were kept down under Astorino through borrowing. He criticized Astorino’s cuts to child care subsidies and the gun shows that the executive brought back to the Westchester County Center after they had previously been banned.

“This is the most right wing and extreme administration in the modern history of Westchester County that has a philosophy of ‘that’s not my problem, that’s your problem,” he said, after noting Astorino’s reputation as a “nice guy.” “The Tea Party with a smile is still the Tea Party and campaigning like Nelson Rockefeller is not very impressive if you are going to govern like Newt Gingrich.”

The candidates sparred over countyowned Playland park, which Astorino said runs at annual deficits ranging from $2 million to $3 million. “As a father, I love Playland; as county executive Playland has been a big problem,” he said.

Astorino has signed an agreement with a Rye nonprofit called Sustainable Playland Inc. to manage the park and shift the focus to an all-seasons recreational park. “The county has proven it can’t run an amusement park,” he said.

Bramson said he’d be in favor of analyzing options but criticized Sustainable’s plans as lacking focus or tangible financial projections to get the park running in the black.

He also questioned attendance figures and revenues, which are mostly based on internal calculations from the administration.

Bramson also took issue with Astorino’s handling of a 2008 settlement with the federal government in which Westchester agreed

With the addition of Westmed, the campus will formally be renamed the Harrison Executive Medical Park, said Fareri’s project partner Simone. “3030 Westchester Avenue will be the most advanced medical office building in Westchester and perhaps the entire Hudson Valley,” he said.

Dr. Simeon A. Schwartz, founding president and CEO of Westmed, said 60 to 70 physicians will work in the new facility, and 40 to 50 of them “will be new to Westmed.”

Westmed will have about 300 physicians in its group practice when the Harrison facility is completed, he said.

Schwartz described the Westmed health care delivery model as a “one-stop shopping medical experience” where patients can get radiology services, clinical lab tests and referrals to on-site specialists “all under one roof.”

“It’s about moving from hospital- and

doctor-centric care to patient-centric care,” Schwartz said. “Patients want convenience today. They deserve convenience.”

For 20 years, Simone Healthcare Development Group has been partnering with health care providers on projects to create turnkey outpatient facilities, Simone said. Its properties include Montefiore Medical Park and Hutchinson Metro Center in the Bronx, where Simone in 2011 relocated his companies’ headquarters from New Rochelle.

Simone said his company has plans for other medical office projects in Westchester, although he would not disclose details at this time. “Our goal is to be the premier investment-development company for outpatient facilities in the New York metropolitan tristate area,” he said.

“The old model of the community hospital, which dates back to the 1940s, is no longer

viable,” Simone told an audience of elected officials and private-sector business leaders gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony.

What’s needed is outpatient care with multiple medical services at one location, he said.

“The medical world has not been technically ready for outpatient facilities,” Simone said later. “Now they realize they have to do that, have all their ‘ologies under one roof.

That’s efficiency and that’s the new patient experience and that’s what they’re looking for.”

In the new health care model, “These facilities act as feeders for the hospital,” said Simone. “The hospitals actually need these facilities to feed themselves…Economics are driving all this.”

Simone said he advises medical tenants leasing turnkey space from his company: “Just bring your white coats and stethoscopes, and we’re ready to go.”

to build or obtain 750 units of affordable housing in some of the county’s wealthiest – and whitest – communities.

Astorino has clashed over the implementation of the plan with a monitor appointed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The executive has said HUD is overreaching the terms of the agreement and that local zoning should be under the control of local towns and villages, not Westchester. But Bramson said the administration has used “scare tactics” during the fight, which has resulted in HUD withholding almost $17 million in grants for communities within Westchester.

“It’s time to get this expensive and divisive mess behind us,” Bramson said. “If you think this is defending municipalities, in fact it is the opposite.”

Astorino shot back by questioning if Bramson had read the initial settlement or subsequent letters from HUD and its monitor.

Still, with only five weeks until the Nov. 5 election, the other issues are likely to take a back seat to the local economy and Westchester’s ever increasing property taxes.

Debate moderator Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, announced the results of a poll of Westchester residents conducted by Marist in association with the Business Council. Thirty percent of adults say taxes should be the top priority for the next executive, 21 percent say jobs, 19 percent education and 12 percent economic development.

Astorino said during his time in office, the county has added 27,000 new private sector jobs, after Westchester had lost 10,000 private sector jobs in four years prior to his election.

“We don’t take credit for all of those in any way but that means that businesses are seeing that Westchester is a bright spot again,” he said. “It’s a place to actually settle down, do business, create jobs, expand or stay here

when they were thinking of leaving.”

He said through the county’s Industrial Development Agency, PepsiCo was enticed to stay at its Purchase headquarters, which kept 1,100 jobs in Westchester. The company is now investing $250 million in rebuilding its Anderson Hill Road headquarters.

Bramson said more needed to be done.

“We’ve got 6 million square feet of vacant office space in Westchester County, we have extraordinary brain drain – the generation between 25 and 45 (years old) that’s leaving the region in droves,” he said. “That is our future.”

As county executive, Bramson said he would seek not only to reduce county property taxes, which make up roughly 20 percent

of a property owner’s annual tax bill, but to offer leadership to consolidate functions of municipalities and school districts.

“That doesn’t mean eliminating villages or smaller school districts; it means creating a framework that lets them work together on things like road resurfacing, back office administrative and planning functions, flood mitigation, fleet maintenance, distribution of payroll, taxes, all the things where we can be achieving economies of scale and efficiencies by doing things on a regional basis,” he said.

Astorino and Bramson will next face off in an Oct. 16 debate hosted by the Westchester County Association at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. The debate will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Poll: Taxes, economy top issues in county

By Mark Lungariello mlungariello@westfairinc.com

Thirty percent of Westchester County residents say taxes should be the top priority for the next county executive, according to a new poll by Marist Poll.

The poll, conducted in partnership with The Business Council of Westchester, was released at the Oct. 2 debate between county executive candidates in White Plains. Lee Miringoff, director of Marist Poll, moderated the debate between incumbent Republican Robert P. Astorino and challenger Noam Bramson, the Democratic mayor of New Rochelle.

“The economy is top of mind and will be an important factor in this November’s election,” Miringoff said. Taxes and the economy also were top concerns of Westchester residents polled by marist in 2009 when Astorino ran against incumbent County Executive Andy Spano, who

had been in office for 12 years.

Westchester residents have an improved outlook about the county economy compared with four years ago, according to the poll. Twenty one percent of residents say the economy is getting better while only 12 percent said it was getting better in 2009. Sixteen percent of county residents believe the local economy is getting worse, a drop from 33 percent who had that view four years ago.

About 69 percent of adults polled think the county is unaffordable for the average family, with only 2 percent responding that it is “very affordable.” Another 32 percent said it is affordable and 30 percent said it is “reasonable.”

Fifty percent of residents think the fees and taxes for services are not fair, while 48 percent believe they are.

Marist pollsters surveyed 577 residents by phone over two days in September.

Among those polled, 481 were registered voters and 375 were homeowners.

Wells Fargo opens Eastchester branch

Wells Fargo & Co. has opened a community banking branch in Eastchester, its first retail operation to launch in Westchester County since the bank’s purchase of Wachovia in 2009.

The new office at 375 White Plains Road joins a roster of 35 Wells Fargo retail branches in the county. Across New York state, the San Francisco-based bank has 82 branches and employs more than 5,200 workers.

“Not having a store in Eastchester was a gap in our distribution network, considering the town’s ideal location in the heart of Westchester County,” Eleanor Willets, Wells Fargo area president for Metro New York, said in the announcement.

The Eastchester branch employs 14 bankers and has an online banking station. It was designed and built to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver standards.

Lenders move on mortgage defaults

Mortgage lenders this year have stepped up foreclosure actions in Westchester County to a level not seen since 2009, according to county clerk records.

The 2,046 foreclosure filings in state Supreme Court through September amounted to a 53 percent increase from the same nine-month period in 2012. Foreclosure notices through the first three quarters this year already have surpassed total filings by lenders in 2012, when 1,812 foreclosure actions were begun, and in 2011, when the county had 1,655 foreclosure filings, according to Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni.

From July through September, lenders initiated 618 foreclosure actions, a 20 percent increase from the third quarter of 2012.

Idoni said foreclosure judgments against defaulted property owners totaled 233 through September this year. The number already exceeds the 208 court judgments issued in 2012 and the 177 foreclosure judgments recorded in the county in 2011.

Idoni noted the nonprofit housing agency Westchester Residential Opportunities holds mortgage default orientation sessions in White Plains. Trained counselors are available by calling (914) 428-4507 or by visiting the agency’s website at wroinc.org.

Creating a successful event demands the very best.

Charge up at work

The Reckson division of SL Green Realty Corp. has added electric vehicle charging stations at 17 office properties in Westchester County and Fairfield County, Conn.

The facilities were installed at 360 Hamilton Ave. and 140/150 Grand St. in White Plains and at 100, 200 and 500 Summit Lake Drive in Valhalla.

In Stamford, Reckson has installed the charging stations at Landmark Square and 680, 750, 1010 and 1055 Washington Blvd.

The stations can be used by Reckson’s office tenants who own electric vehicles that run solely on electric power or plug-in hybrid electric cars that combine battery and gas-powered technology. The office landlord has chosen ChargePoint, the world’s largest network of EV charging stations, to provide its dual electric vehicle charging equipment, allowing two cars to charge at the same time.

Vehicle owners who set up ChargePoint accounts can benefit from other program amenities, including electronic billing and email notification for space availability and EV charge completion.

“Reckson/SL Green continues to provide its tenants with a best-in-class experience, offering unique portfolio amenities through cutting-edge technology,” John Barnes, Reckson/SL Green senior vice president and managing director in Stamford, said in the company announcement. He said Reckson has put in place the infrastructure that will be needed as demand for charging stations continues to rise.

Food banks gain from bank

As part of its customer appreciation week, RBS Citizens Financial Group Inc. in Providence, R.I., will donate meals to 16 food banks across the country, including the Food Bank for Westchester and the Connecticut Food Bank in Fairfield County.

The Food Bank for Westchester will receive $2,000 in donations, which translates to 4,819 meals for hungry residents in the county, said Ellen Lynch, Food Bank executive director.

“We are thrilled with this unexpected donation from Citizens Bank, especially during this time of uncertainty,” said Lynch.

“With this $2,000 donation, the Food Bank can acquire $8,000 worth of food.”

Energy sale in the works

MVC Capital Inc. in Purchase has agreed to sell U.S. Gas & Electric Inc., a retail energy supplier headquartered in Mamaroneck, for approximately $97.2 million, MVC officials announced.

USG&E is the largest portfolio holding for MVC, a publicly traded business development company that makes private debt and equity investments in various industries.

The buyer in the pending deal, United States Gas & Electric Holdings Inc., is primarily owned by Louis Beck, chairman and CEO of Janus Hotels and Resorts Inc.;

Lance T. Shaner, chairman of the Shaner Companies and Rex Energy Corp., CEO of Shaner Hotels and founder of Shaner Capital L.P., and members of the management of USG&E. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approvals and requires US Holdings to obtain significant third-party financing, is expected to close by Oct. 31.

MVC expects to realize a gain of approximately $96.7 million from its $500,000 equity investment in the Mamaroneck company in 2007. As of July 31, MVC’s investment was valued at $92.7 million.

At closing, USG&E also will retire an approximate $10.2 million second lien loan previously provided by MVC. U.S. Gas & Electric supplies commercial and residential customers in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Bank helps furloughed workers

A Pennsylvania-based bank with a branch office in Westchester County is granting short-term relief from loan and mortgage payments to customers left without paychecks by the federal government shutdown that began Oct. 1.

Customers Bank, headquartered in

Phoenixville, Pa., today announced its Employees Furlough Assistance Plan to help workers who have been furloughed as a result of the federal budget impasse. The bank will grant affected workers a onemonth deferral on consumer loans as well as a one-month forbearance on mortgage payments.

Richard Ehst, Customers Bank president and chief operating officer, when announcing the emergency program, said the prolonged shutdown “is creating undue and undeserved pressure for thousands of workers across the nation and right here in our area.… This is no longer an abstract debate – it has become a crisis that is affecting livelihoods and families. In this difficult and uncertain time, Customers Bank wants our customers to know that we stand behind them.”

Bank customers who might be facing hardship because of the federal furloughs can call a toll-free number, (855) 332-6883, for assistance. Customers can also contact the bank by email at furloughassistance@ customersbank.com.

In Westchester, Customers Bank operates a branch office at Rye Ridge Shopping Center in Rye Brook. The bank, with assets of approximately $3.8 billion, also operates in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

It’s true.

When doctors become successful, they move to the suburbs.

Who can blame them? Westchester has charming town squares, top-tier school districts and one-of-a-kind homes. But if you’re a successful doctor, you don’t only care where you live. You also care where you work.

That’s why they’re drawn to Bronxville’s Lawrence Hospital Center.

Over the last five years, we’ve spent nearly $50 million in renovations.

S uffice it to say, that kind of money buys a lot more than a new coat of paint and some soothing wall art.

Let’s start with the room people often see first: The Emergency Room. We’ve done so much reconstructive surgery on it, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Modern.

Sleek. Computerized. It’s everything

you’d want in a part of the hospital we hope you never have to visit.

Of course, not every visit to our hospital is for a bad reason. Sometimes it’s for a good one. And there’s no better example of that than our Maternity Ward.

Our nursery is spacious enough to handle a minor population explosion. And with 23 new private rooms, their mothers get some well-deser ved privacy.

Each room has been designed with soft lighting, carpeting, Internet access and a flat-screen TV. In addition to our warm bedside manner, we have electronic bedside records. A laser-fast scan of your ID bracelet tells our nurses who you are and what medication you need. It’s an extra layer of security that helps eliminate the possibility of mistaken identity.

Speaking of technology, we’ve improved our image with upgraded MRIs and Westchester’s first Low Dose CT Scan. A dose so low, it delivers up to 40% less radiation than the previous model.

That said, technology is only half the story.

People are the other half.

In an age when hospitals focus on the almighty dollar, we still focus on the almighty patient. Maybe that’s why nationally recognized doctors and award-winning surgeons who could work anywhere, choose to work here. We don’t just talk about compassionate care, we also

live and breathe it.

No wonder people think it’s healthier to live in the suburbs.

ask andi

How to improve business operations I’m not yet getting the results that I want from operations. I get the sense that we’re coping, not managing – it’s not what I’m looking for. How do I help my people to get out in front of what we’re doing day-to-day?

Thoughts of the day: How clear is your understanding of what your customers want? How quickly can your suppliers, production and delivery change gears if customers change their wants? Much of the flexibility of a plant depends upon the quality of information and tools available to it – goals, measuring systems, compensation programs, training, ability to support the reworking of processes and retooling of equipment.

Often the answers to operations problems come from somewhere other than operations.

Getting ahead of a problem in operations means your people learn how to anticipate needs. Figuring out where the problem comes from will help with getting ahead of the curve on solving problems more quickly or even solving them before they appear.

A big part of success in operations comes down to communication and information

flow. Make it someone’s job in operations to be responsible for reaching out to other areas of the company for information. Take a critical look at how well the communication connections work among sales, marketing, finance, human resources and operations.

The operations function in any company exists in order to produce whatever the customer has contracted to purchase. Typically, sales is the department most likely to be in close touch with customers regarding existing and potential orders. Marketing is often the department that does research and has information about what customers and prospects are likely to want – and not want – in the future. Looking critically at information from both marketing and sales can help operations anticipate changes.

Finance can help operations by providing budget and expense information. Here are some of the questions that finance can provide answers to. What is the average cost to produce? What price changes are likely to impact production costs? How profitable is the overall operation and what suggestions are there to reduce overall cost of goods sold? Is timing an issue in operations? Are goods going out in sufficient time to reach the customer without

by andi gray

having to incur rush fees? What’s the waste rate – for goods produced and not sold, as well as for materials not used? What equipment and training will be needed to meet future sales?

Human resources is the source of trained labor. Identify the person(s) responsible for hiring, evaluations and training. Ask HR to contribute recommendations on what can be done to improve performance by the people working in operations. Tie together recommendations coming from marketing about what customers are turning to. Build a plan for training based on what operations people need to be prepared to produce in the future.

The other side of the operations puzzle is getting supplies in time to produce what the customer wants. Again, it comes down to communication. Ask marketing to project needs for new products, sales to estimate the timeline to sell, finance to source and negotiate with vendors, and HR to evaluate existing vs. future skills.

Effectively managing the quality of operations requires coordination across all departments. When it comes to setting and meeting goals, operations has to be aligned with marketing, sales, finance and HR. Accurately executing according to agreed upon goals will free up time in operations, by allowing

a shift from fixing problems to anticipating and planning for future needs.

Make sure that the operations function is not too tightly planned out. Scheduling the factory at 100 percent productivity doesn’t work. There will always be problems that have to be worked out. Equipment needs to be re-tooled. People need to be trained.

Discussion of goals and options is essential.

Allowing extra time in the schedule to work through challenges means there’s time to recover when things do go wrong and room in the schedule to plan ways to improve.

BUSINESS 30411 F 6 II

Stewards of company finances honored

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

“I

t’s hard to be a CFO,” Robert J. Chersi, a Pace University faculty member and former corporate CFO, told a White Plains audience at the first CFO of the Year Awards ceremony recently presented by the Westchester County Business Journal.

The job has grown in the last 10 to 15 years, said Chersi, a former CFO at Fidelity Investments and in the U.S. wealth management division of UBS AG. That growth is in part due to the federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which set new requirements for financial accounting and reporting by public companies and imposed greater regulatory oversight and stiff penalties for violators.

CFOs also “carried” many of their companies through the Great Recession, Chersi said.

It takes more than a person good with numbers to fill the role of a corporate CFO today, which has evolved, said Chersi, to “a position of leadership within the corporation.”

Yet the CFO’s expanded and demanding duties hardly attract public notice or inspire popular culture. “Any action heroes modeled after CFOs?” Chersi asked his audience, which erupted in laughter.

Though their office feats are more the

stuff of ledgers than superhero legends, 11 CFOs at businesses and nonprofits in Westchester County were finalists this year for the inaugural Business Journal awards, which were co-sponsored by McGladrey and TD Bank. Of those, three winners were honored who represent large, mid-size and small businesses.

“This is not a popularity contest,” Dee DelBello, CEO of Westfair Communications Inc. and publisher of the Business Journal, told the crowd gathered at the Mapleton at Good Counsel. “This is based on merit and is judged impartially.”

CFO of the Year winners were: large business, Murray A. Goldberg, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Greenburgh; midsize business, Gabriele Giudici, Heineken USA Inc. in White Plains; small business, Christopher Jones, Durante Rentals in Mount Vernon.

Nearing retirement in 2014, Goldberg this month stepped down as CFO at Regeneron, a post he held for 18 years, and continues with the state’s largest biotechnology employer as senior vice president for administration.

Goldberg when accepting his award recalled Regeneron’s humble beginnings in Westchester, where it is headquartered on the Landmark at Eastview life sciences campus, and its slow road to success and rec-

ognition as one of the fastest-growing and shareholder-enriching biotech companies in the world.

Regeneron, which has marketed three drug products and has another dozen in development, had its first profitable year in 2012, Goldberg said, and this year was added to the S&P 500 stock market index.

The longtime CFO quoted Dr. Leonard Schleifer, Regeneron’s founding president and CEO: “Twenty-five years later, we’re an overnight success.”

“Part of the reason that I’m up here,” said Goldberg, “is the billion and a half dollars that we raised to reach that position.”

Goldberg’s company in nominating him credited his adroit management of cash flow and skill in raising more than $1 billion in capital through numerous public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. He played a vital role in putting together and managing Regeneron’s 6-yearold strategic partnership with Sanofi, the Paris-based pharmaceutical giant.

Named top CFO in the mid-sized business category, Gabriele Giudici, a native of Italy, joined Heineken USA in White Plains in 2010 after holding several other finance and marketing positions at Netherlands-based Heineken in a 17-year international career.

Colleagues in White Plains said he has

improved key financial processes and established a revenue management team to drive top-line growth for the upscale beer company.

Named the year’s top CFO for small businesses, Christopher Jones with two business partners has grown Durante Rentals from a three-person operation to a company with 33 employees at three locations in Mount Vernon, the Bronx and Queens. It is the largest independently owned rental business in the five boroughs.

Jones in 2009 co-founded the construction equipment rental company with John and Anthony Durante. Jones and John Durante first met in 2006 at the Business Council of Westchester’s 40 Under 40 Rising Stars ceremony, where both received awards.

Jones was 22 when he started his first company, Progressive Solutions Inc., an accounting service firm for small businesses in New Jersey. He later raised several million dollars in venture capital for early stage technology and new media companies in New York City.

Judges for the CFO awards were Chersi; Michael Gillan, associate vice president at Fordham Westchester; Andi Gray, Business Journal columnist and founder of the business consulting firm Strategy Leaders Inc., and William M. Mooney Jr., president of the Westchester County Association.

The nuns never turn away guests because they can’t afford to use the space.

“People can pay what they can pay,” said Jane Keegan, associate director of advancement for the sisters.

Five years ago, the sisters partnered with Caperberry Events to create a sustainable business model by offering the space for rent.

Boscobel gathers the fixings for an autumn picnic

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

W

hen a regional magazine named Boscobel as the best place to have a picnic, the historic house museum in Garrison took the accolade to heart.

It has begun to offer its visitors an essential picnic element – fresh food.

Readers of Hudson Valley magazine, in their annual survey for “The Best of the Hudson Valley,” voted Boscobel as “The Best Place to Have a Picnic.”

Though the historic house museum from the Federal period is also noted as a venue for special events, exhibitions and lectures, it has not necessarily been connected with food. However, its picnic and bistro tables, chairs and grassy lawns overlooking the Hudson River and its highlands apparently made an impression on visitors.

Having earned the recognition, Boscobel decided to begin offering the makings of memorable picnics, including a freshly prepared, daily-delivered selection of sandwiches, salads and snacks. These new options are being provided by Hudson Hil’s Café & Market in nearby Cold Spring.

“Visitors can now plan to purchase food and beverages at Boscobel before or after they purchase their admission ticket,” Boscobel’s Executive Director Steve Miller said in a statement. “They can then head out on the grounds for a picnic experience like no other. Even if they didn’t plan to picnic, rather than leave the property in search of food, they can find a delectable variety right inside our carriage house. Visitors may even find a picnic basket and/or blanket in our gift shop.”

Hudson Hil’s, owned and operated by Hilary and Bob Hayes, has a mission to create a high-quality dining experience within a casual atmosphere. Integrating New York state products into the menu to help support local small businesses is also key.

And the collaboration has yet another element. Boscobel visitors are entitled to a discount at Hudson Hil’s Café & Market.

Presenting your same-day Boscobel admission receipt on a weekday to your server at Hudson Hil’s earns a 10-percent discount off in-restaurant dining.

Boscobel is on Route 9D. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. through October and 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. November and December. It is closed Tuesdays and Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Developer floats plans for residential resort BY cRYstAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

A

fter several months of delay, New Castle town officials this fall have begun their environmental review of a New Jersey developer’s third proposal to redevelop a nearly 100-acre estate built by a Broadway showman and last used as a spiritual retreat center by a Roman Catholic religious order.

Steven Soder, principal of Soder Real Estate Equities in Montclair, N.J., has a purchase agreement on the 773 Armonk Road property with the Legionaries of Christ, an order of priests that paid $3.13 million in 1994 to acquire the secluded estate from the Unification Church of the late Sun Myung Moon.

A 1920s-era red brick mansion on the property, built for songwriter and theatrical producer Billy Rose, would be the centerpiece of a mixed-use development that includes a 30-room hotel, 54 two-bedroom condominiums and a fitness center. Plans also include a public spa and 4,470-square-foot restaurant on the site.

Soder is seeking a town zoning change to create a floating zone that would allow a

resort lifestyle complex on the site, which is now zoned for two-acre single-family housing lots.

Soder last year first proposed a 66-unit residential development and 30-room hotel on the site. He later returned to town officials with a proposal to build 80 villas and townhouse condos on the site without a hotel.

Soder presented his latest plan to the New Castle Planning Board in September after introducing it to the Town Board early

this year. He said he hasn’t heard major complaints from the public about the project because the proposal is still in the early stages of review.

“It’s too early in the process to know what the prognosis is and whether there’s support for this,” Soder said. “We haven’t had a formal public hearing to know. There’s a neighborhood that sits behind the property and I’m sure they’ll want to weigh in.”

The developer wants to replace mansion

wings that were added in the 1950s with new wings to house 2,500-square-foot condo units. The hotel, which would include two or three meeting spaces capable of seating 50 persons, would be a new structure on the south side of the mansion.

The Spa at New Castle, as Soder calls the development, would be a “high-end facility” that provides a boutique hotel and spa service, he said. He wants to gear his business to empty nesters and hotel guests making use of the full-service spa.

“We think it’s a natural place to have a spa,” Soder said. “It’s very quiet and no traffic or cars interrupt the site line. The hotel and spa service is lacking in Westchester County.

There’s a strong need for it, and we believe this is the right location for it.”

The project’s estimated cost is $50 million, though Soder said they “haven’t priced anything out at this stage.”

The development could create from 75 to 100 permanent jobs and generate more than $1 million in tax revenue, he said.

“It’s slower than we expected,” Soder said of the town review process. “We want to move this forward as fast as possible, but right now we’re just at a holding stage.”

HOSPITALITY

INBRIEF

Tourism touted as economic driver for county

To anyone in the industry, it’s no surprise that tourism is a major force in Westchester County. But what might be surprising is the amount of money it does bring in.

“Travel and tourism is a $1.7 billion industry for Westchester and represents 53 percent of all visitor spending in the Hudson Valley region,” said Tracey Corbitt, principal planner of the county’s Department of Planning.

“In 2012, we had a two percent increase in spending, up $26 million over the previous year. The industry has regained all of its recessionary losses and currently exceeds its 2007 level of $1.66 billion.”

Corbitt made her remarks at the recent meeting of the Westchester Municipal Officials Association (WMOA) at Harbor Square in Ossining.

“One of WMOA’s major concerns is economic development in the county,” said Ossining Mayor William R. Hanauer. This year marks the village’s bicentennial year and Hanauer’s start as president of WMOA. “Tracey Corbitt’s presentation on the proposed historic Sing Sing Prison museum and tourism in general, including its effect on the future of the economy of the village and the region, was a perfect way to launch a new season of activity for our organization.”

included partnerships with numerous local businesses and organizations including the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Yonkers.

A popular feature, as at most film festivals, was expected to be the “meet the filmmaker” events, which included a screening and discussion with directors, producers, cast or crew members.

The surrounding community also got into the weekend’s act, with festival tickets earning participants discounts and special deals at a number of area restaurants, some of which hosted related events.

Eatery expands to Fairfield

Village Social Kitchen + Bar in Mount Kisco is opening a restaurant New Canaan, Conn., named Locali Pizza Bar + Kitchen.

“The sense of community in New Canaan felt similar to that of Mount Kisco” owner Joe Bueti said. He and coowner Anthony Legato wanted to bring a very specific, niche food concept to the neighborhood to distinguish itself as “not just another pizza joint,” Legato said.

The centerpiece of the restaurant is the Stefano Ferrera wood-burning oven

emblazoned with the name “Giovanni,” after Legato’s father. “It was created especially for us in Italy, flown over and handcrafted by Ferrera himself here in the Locali kitchen,” Legato said.

Legato will be collaborating with Village Social chef Mogan Anthony on the new menu. Anthony was a contestant over the summer on Food Network’s “Chopped.”

Bueti said “the motivation behind the new restaurant concept was not to reinvent the proverbial wheel, but instead to re-craft a classic.”

Lights, camera, film fest!

The Yonkers Film Festival, aka YoFi Fest, was set to kick off Oct. 11 with an opening-night reception in the atrium at the Riverfront Library in Larkin Plaza.

The tone-setting slogan of the inaugural three-day event was “Where audiences and filmmakers get to talk (just not during the movies).”

The lineup was filled with back-to-back screenings of full-length features, documentaries, shorts, music videos, animation and student works.

The featured works were culled from worldwide submissions, with the final program spotlighting not only American film but works from countries that included France, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Israel, Australia, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada.

The expansive format also included children’s events and workshops on the film business, led by industry professionals.

Shops at Nanuet a dining, retail, entertainment destination opens

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

F

rom hosting a breakfast meeting to a company’s holiday party, the Shops at Nanuet are poised to serve the diverse needs of the surrounding business community, as well as the general public.

The long-awaited opening of the project that effectively revamped the former Nanuet Mall was held Oct. 10, with grand-opening festivities throughout the weekend.

The 750,000-square-foot development is set to revitalize the area with some 50 retail, dining and entertainment options that have brought hundreds of jobs to the center off Route 59 in Nanuet, a hamlet in the town of Clarkstown.

The latest regional project from Simon Property Group, which has its headquarters in Indianapolis, joins the company’s other local properties that include Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights, the Galleria at White Plains and The

The Shops at Nanuet is officially open.

Westchester, also in White Plains.

With the opening of the first wave of businesses at the Shops at Nanuet – and as the open-air center works toward its full occupancy in early 2014 – shoppers will have the opportunity to visit new-to-market establishments ranging from J. Crew to J. Jill, Sur La Table to Paper Source, Michael

Kors to Big Dog Sportswear. Other retailers include Ann Taylor, Apple Store, Coach, Banana Republic, Kay Jewelers, Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, Soma Intimates and Vera Bradley.

Shops are concentrated on a pedestrianfriendly boulevard called Fashion Drive.

Anchors Sears and Macy’s, which had

remained open throughout the year-plus construction period, are joined by major tenants including Fairway market, a 12-screen Regal Cinemas (November opening) and 24 Hour Fitness (December).

On the dining front, options will include Bonefish Grill, Corner Bakery Café, P.F. Chang’s Asian Bistro, Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar, CUPS Frozen Yogurt and Patsy’s Pizzeria, among others.

Banchetto Feast, a veteran and adjacent Nanuet restaurant that went through its own renovation prior to the project’s main construction period, offers yet another dining choice along the Middletown Road side of the property.

The Nanuet Mall, a traditional indoor mall that opened in the late 1960s, was once a leading shopping destination for the region. It struggled over time with most of the mall closing in 2012 after being unable to compete with the Palisades Center, the Pyramid Management Group mega-mall that opened a few miles farther down Route 59 in the late ’90s.
