epublican Rob Astorino shrugged off a nearly 2-to-1 voter registration disadvantage and won a second term as Westchester County executive, beating Democratic challenger Noam Bramson in the Nov. 5 election. Now all he has to do is be the savior of the Westchester business community. No pressure. When Astorino was first elected in 2009, 10,000 private-sector jobs had fled the county, according to the administration. It was part of an ongoing exodus of corporations hightailing it out of Westchester, leaving behind the Golden Apple’s high cost of doing business and its weighty and seemingly ever-increasing property taxes. William Mooney Jr., president of the business advocacy group the Westchester County Association, said the negative perception of Westchester was changing. “It is clearly being changed and the reason I say that is the voters just said that,” he said. Although property taxes are still “Looney Tunes,” according to Mooney, there is a perception that something is being done to improve the climate. “Someone has to dismantle yesterday and create tomorrow and we’ve got to do it together,” he said. Mooney said he’d like to see the county put together a master plan that brings together

old rail line could spur a yonkers resurgence By JOhN GOLdEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ghost of Yonkers past could be a pathway to revitalize neighborhoods and bolster the city’s tax base with new businesses and new housing in coming years. That is the vision and goal of Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and the city’s project partners at Groundwork Hudson Valley, the nonprofit environmental and community development organization spearheading plans to map and and build what the mayor calls the South Yonkers Public Greenway. The paved, lighted trail for pedestrians and bicyclists would pass through residential and commercial areas on the eastern side of the South Broadway business district from Caryl Avenue at the northern border of New York City’s Van Cortlandt Park to Getty Square. From downtown Getty Square, Groundwork planners hope to extend the trail west to link with the city’s new and expanding Saw Mill River walkway and end near City Pier on the downtown waterfront,

where Groundwork’s popular Science Barge is moored. Passing small city parks and playgrounds already built in south Yonkers, the greenway would follow or in places closely parallel the long-abandoned right of way of a three-mile branch line of the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad that carried passengers between Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx and Getty Square. Opened in 1888, the line was abandoned by New York Central in 1944 after a series of legal challenges by the city, one of which was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. Though the Putnam rail tracks were soon recycled for use in World War II, ghostly remnants of the line and stonework at some of its four Yonkers stations can still be seen on the edge of Park Hill and along residential side streets in south Yonkers. On Getty Square, engravings of locomotives on a bank’s stone façade point to the building’s original service as the entry to the Putnam branch’s downtown terminus. As the city’s project partner, Groundwork Hudson Valley recently was awarded a

$186,529 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of the EPA’s brownfields program to clean up and reuse contaminated former industrial sites. Groundwork has formed a steering committee in Yonkers that represents nonprofits, neighborhood churches, the Municipal Housing Authority and other government agencies and project stakeholders to solicit community input and explore whether vacant brownfield properties might be used for the proposed trail. Committee members are being trained in brownfield redevelopment issues by staff at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the EPA’s brownfields technical assistance contractor in this region. Robert Baron, president and board chairman of Groundwork Hudson Valley, said preparing the brownfields area-wide plan will take about 1½ years. “Even though Groundwork is facilitating the process, it becomes a true community vision of what they want to see,” Baron said. Groundwork Hudson Valley also has applied for an approximately $160,000 state grant in the state’s 2014 funding round for the trail project. Groundwork Hudson Valley Executive Director Rick Magder said the grant would be used for an approximately $250,000 feasibility study “to get the project ready for capital construction.” If funded, that study would take 14 to 16 months to complete, he said. At a recent press conference held near the old rail branch right of way to announce the EPA-funded planning for the South Yonkers Greenway, Spano evoked that concealed and in some places built-over city history. “This was once a place where Yonkers residents would get on the Putnam Railroad’s commuter line and head to Manhattan or Getty Square to work, shop or dine,” he said.

As part of its Yonkers Green City revitalization effort, the city is “unveiling the untapped opportunity and potential of Yonkers historic neighborhoods.” Leading the Business Journal on a tour of the Putnam line’s ghostly route in south Yonkers, Baron said the paved trail will be routed and designed as “a useful walk. People are going through here to go to school, get to work, to get to (bus and subway) transit.” Parents on shopping errands could stop with their children at the playgrounds along the route. “This should feel like a street, like part of the grid, but a street for pedestrians and bicycles,” he said. “This is a transit-friendly city, a walkable city. We should be building on this.” “These neighborhoods grew up around Getty Square and the railroad stations,” Baron said. “That’s what gave them vitality.” The paved walk could attract value to those neighborhoods in the form of new businesses and higher-density housing. “It’s fantastic for businesses,” said Baron, standing at the corner of Lawrence Street and Western Avenue, where drug dealers now conduct their open-air business outside shuttered commercial buildings. With the trail, “There are business opportunities. There are more people coming through here so it’s a safer neighborhood.” “This is what we’re trying to sell people – revitalizing their neighborhood. This is where we’re trying to bring value and bring customers and bring economic activity.” With changes in zoning, “There’s a possibility for more density here, to bring more housing into this neighborhood,” Baron added. “The mayor is committed to this. He really wants to revitalize this neighborhood.”

community college leader to retire

By JOhN GOLdEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

estchester Community College president Joseph Hankin is retiring after 42 years as leader of the State University of New York in Valhalla. The nation’s longest-serving community college president, Hankin announced his retirement at his annual State of the College address to faculty, staff and administrators. The college board of trustees granted him a leave of absence in 2014, during which he will assist trustees in the college’s search for a new president. A college spokesman said the long-time campus leader also will assist in WCC’s “visibility and outreach efforts” as well as other program and services development projects. “The accomplishments achieved over the past four decades have been realized because of the joint effort of a team of individuals,” Hankin said in his address. Those accomplishments during a presidential tenure that began in 1971 include the formation of a faculty and professional staff that has received more SUNY Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence than any similarly-

sized institution, according to WCC spokesman Patrick Hennessey. Hankin’s support for an expanded continuing education division has helped make it the largest such program in New York. And he was instrumental in the fundraising successes of the Westchester Community College Foundation. In accepting Hankin’s retirement, WCC board chairman Timothy Carey called him “the ‘soul’ of the institution.” SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher said Hankin for more than 40 years “has led Westchester Community College with the highest level of distinction, fostering productive and impactful connections with students, faculty and staff on campus and elevating the college’s presence and partnership with the local community. The college will be forever defined by President Hankin’s tenure, and his many contributions to SUNY and to New York state throughout his leadership will benefit generations to come.” The college plans to hire a national search firm to assist in the hunt for his replacement, a process that could take a full year, Hennessey said. WCC trustees will name an interim president after conferring with the SUNY board of trustees.

Pitch perfect

What to say when seeking to finance or sell the business By Richard Baum

s a small business owner you’ve overcome many hurdles, and now you’ve decided to raise capital for expansion or to retire or cash out to focus on new ventures. Before doing so, however, there is one more hurdle you likely must face: You have to successfully pitch your business. The time appears right to do so. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article headlined “Small Business: Finally, a Good Time to Sell the Business.” In the article, the head of Small Business Administration lending at a major bank notes that small business balance sheets are looking better and that cash flows have turned positive. (WSJ, (10/24/13) So what should you include in your pitch and what should you avoid to get the value you think you deserve? Four small business executives – two of them from Westchester – are almost certainly grappling with that question as they prepare for ACG New York’s West-Hud DealTank in Tarrytown Nov. 15. The DealTank is a kinder, gentler version of the popular TV pitch show where executives seeking to finance

or sell all or part of their businesses face a panel of investors who critique their pitches and, sometimes, make an investment. The panelists in Tarrytown will be private equity investors and advisers, as will many in the audience. It will be a great place for business owners and observers to learn what seasoned investors want and to perfect their pitches. So what should these business owners and others like them that have passed the mom-and-pop development stage include in their presentations and what should they avoid? Based on more than 25 years as a private equity investor, adviser and equity analyst, here are some tips. Be concise and clear about what your company does. Sounds simple, doesn’t it. But you would be amazed at how bad people are at describing the operation they founded or manage daily. Sometimes you are so close to it you do not see the forest for the trees. The businesses that attract the most investor interest are those that the investor can understand. If they do not, they will be very reluctant to pull out the checkbook. Avoid techno speak. Even if the business is based on computer technology or biochemistry, investors still want to know – have got to know

– the basics in simple English. Be sure to discuss the risks. Most business owners want to shy away from doing so, because they think risk is a black mark. It is not, and investors will give you credit for addressing the subject frankly and forthrightly. That’s because every business has risks, and smart investors know they have risks and want to know what they are. They also want to know whether you see the risk and how you deal or intend to deal with it. Be realistic about what your company is worth. You will have to address this at some point in your presentation. So raise the issue yourself and be prepared with comparables and, if your business is different, how so and why that justifies a better multiple. Selling your business is analogous to selling your house. If you put a ridiculous price on your house, you won’t get any bids or buyers. Just as you would listen to your broker when selling your house, listen to your business adviser, who will start by telling you what your business is realistically worth. Do not dismiss or discount the valuation placed on it by the adviser who will have a pretty good idea of what the market will pay for a business given certain characteristics. Keep in

mind that you want to offer your business at a price that is ideally going to attract more than one bidder in competition with others. Be clear about whether you intend to sell the business outright or a partial interest. If you are exiting completely, you may just want to seek the highest price and then walk away. If you want to retain some residual interest, from minority to controlling, that will affect how you pitch the business. Best to decide this issue before you go into the pitch because it affects how you structure your pitch. Experience says that executives who follow these tips will greatly increase their chances of finding investors and buyers. We will see on Nov. 15 whether the presenters incorporate any of these tips. As one of the dealmakers in the room, I’ll be watching.

sweet growth for office suites company By JOhN GOLdEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ne month after its debut in Greenwich, Conn., Stark Office Suites has expanded again in Westchester County with the acquisition of a former competitor in Rye Brook. The 9-year-old company, which rents turnkey office space and provides virtual office services to professionals and entrepreneurs, has acquired assets of The Private Office Inc. in Rye Brook. Company founder and president Adam J. Stark has signed a long-term lease for 20,550 square feet of office space in The Private Office’s location at 800 Westchester Ave., the former General Foods headquarters and corporate architectural landmark that is owned and operated by RPW Group Inc. The Private Office was founded by George Russell 25 years ago. Russell died Aug. 11. Stark in a press release said the company plans to make substantial investments and capital improvements to its new “flagship” facility in an approximately 533,000-squarefoot building that he called “the pinnacle of the suburban New York office market.” “We are proud to be able to continue in the tradition of The Private Office,” said Stark. “We believe our common focus makes this a natural fit and are pleased to be working with The Private Office clients. We look forward to establishing great relationships and celebrating their business success.” Stark’s landlord, Robert P. Weisz, RPW Group chairman and CEO, in the announcement called Stark Office Suites “an ideal business for this remarkable building” that “shares our values of integrity and outstanding service.” Stark Office Suites was represented in the Rye Brook lease deal by Eric Goldschmidt of Goldschmidt & Associates in Scarsdale. Started in 2004 in White Plains, where it is headquartered at 445 Hamilton Ave., Stark Business Solutions Inc. has grown to operate more than 150,000 square feet of executive office space at eight locations in Westchester, midtown Manhattan and Fairfield County, Conn. The company opened Oct. 1 in a 15,000-square-foot space in the Greenwich Office Park, its second Connecticut location. Stark in 2011 opened a suite of offices at 243 Tresser Blvd. in Stamford. The company in the past year has grown its footprint by more than 50 percent to become one of the 20 largest executive office suite businesses in the U.S. Averaging 50 percent annual growth, it now has more

municipal and business leaders with nonprofits to outline a unified vision for the county that would transcend the borders of local municipalities. That would mean a leadership role by the county in local zoning and a comprehensive and collaborative mission statement focusing on repurposing the 6 million square feet of vacant office space in the county. Part of the issue, Mooney said, is the bureaucratic hoops potential developers and businesses face when wanting to set up shop in the county. “Right now, we’re not on anyone’s radar screens because it takes so long to get through the process,” he said, noting several repurposing and mixed-use proposals have dragged on for as long as three years. “What classical investor wants to spend that kind of time when you can go elsewhere in the country or in the state?” Mooney said Astorino was off to a good start in his first term by curbing county tax increases and working with business and nonprofit groups to build a new reputation for the county as a business destination.

approach is not enough to get students engaged in their learning. Not only do the students need practical skills to be successful on the job, but they need tools to mirror real work experience, he said. After the college acquired Victory Hall, the building that once belonged to the Archdiocese of New York and operated as a Catholic high school, the School of Business got what they asked for: a trading room that replicates the Wall Street experience. Under the leadership of Weis, a former managing director at Merrill Lynch, and business professors including Garcia, who worked for Bloomberg, the school built a curriculum using the Bloomberg for Education software to bring the world of finance into the classroom setting. Students sit in front of computers that show real-time market information using a software program that delivers data, news and analytics, similar to the ones global financial professionals use. “We want to help them apply professional skills in a professional setting,” said Garcia. “This is knowledge that can add value to them if they decide to work on Wall Street.” Even for students who don’t choose to

made. Although the council doesn’t endorse political candidates, Gordon said Astorino’s record speaks for itself. A survey of county residents conducted by the council in coordination with Marist Poll showed that 64 percent of those polled felt the county economy was on the right track. Reining in taxes and steadying the economy will lead to a better retention of not only businesses, but a young and talented workforce, she said. “Rob’s leadership in branding Westchester County as the intellectual capital of New York state has been brilliant,” she said. His second term will see more positive cycle for businesses and opportunities to focus on growing industry sectors such as health care, biotechnology and professional

services. Gordon also said the county executive had stepped up for small businesses, including minority and women-owned businesses. Overall, she said a continued collaborative approach is needed. “We’ve been a strong partner and we plan to continue to work with the county executive to create jobs, retain and attract businesses, and continue to have a healthy business environment,” she said. In an election night interview at White Plains’ Crowne Plaza, Astorino said his future success depends on his relationship with the business groups. “Part of the reason we won is we are in lockstep with the business community,” he said. He is now looking to court some corporations that are leaving New York City

go the Wall Street route, they’ll have “industry knowledge at a young age,” which shows companies they understand how to “get real life market data” and “know how to trade and invest,” Weis said. The trading floor adds an experiential component to the students’ education, Garcia said. The School of Business has 10 students who have been placed on the fast track to getting internships with at least one Fortune 500 company through the college’s business honors program. For one student, the trading room is an essential part of his learning experience. “I was on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs for a mentorship program and it opened my eyes to what I need to learn and where I’m at,” said Angel Cespedes, a sophomore in accounting, who also had a mentorship program at IBM. “Now I can practice and learn the hard, tangible skills I need in the trading room here to be excellent in the work field there.” Cespedes added that with the knowledge he gained from using the software program in the trading room, he can monitor a company’s performance, use that data to make real industry decisions and apply his knowledge about the financial market by having conversations with prospective employers during job interviews. The College of Business and the board of trustees are exploring more ways to bring

to convince them to come to Westchester. He said there are positive signs of the turnaround, including the expansion of Regeneron and a move away from onetenant office complexes. He said 27,000 private-sector jobs were added in his first term, an item he campaigned on. Still, it was his tax record that resonated most with voters, he said. There are more than 100,000 registered Democrats than Republicans in Westchester, an increasingly left-leaning county, where a victory might be elusive even for a wellfinanced incumbent Republican. “I was confident in my record,” he said in an election night interview at White Plains’ Crowne Plaza. Astorino said he had reduced the county tax levy by 2 percent since elected. He’s pledged to unveil a 0 percent tax increase again for 2014. “I made promises and I’ve kept them.” Astorino took home 55 percent of the total vote, according to unofficial tallies. He is already rumored to be in the running for the state GOP’s endorsement in the 2014 gubernatorial race, but in the short term said he is focused solely on his county duties. “Tomorrow we go back to work,” he said after giving his victory speech. Bramson will return to work as mayor of the city of New Rochelle, a post he has held since 2006.

the finance world to life. One idea that’s under review is setting aside a small portion of Mercy’s endowment for business courses that teach investment strategies and allowing the professors and students to collectively invest that money in the market and monitor the growth of that investment. “By the time that freshman gets to the

investment management company, they’ll have had experience managing a slice of real money,” Garcia said. “Nowadays, companies don’t have the patience for oneyear-long training programs, so we like to think our program is a transformative model that’s application-based and very experiential.”

goP blocks board’s supermajority By maRK LuNGaRiELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

epublicans might end up losing a seat on the Westchester County Board of Legislators, but the party seems to have won just enough last week to continue to block a Democratic supermajority. Twelve of the board’s 17 seats are needed for a supermajority, which would mean that Democrats could override a county executive veto when voting in unison. County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican who has clashed with the board’s Democratic leadership, was reelected to a second term. During Astorino’s first two years in office, Democrats held a 12-5 supermajority that allowed them to override dozens of the county executive’s vetoes. The supermajority was broken in the 2011 elections and heading into last week’s elections Republicans held seven seats on the board. As of press time, Democrats and Republicans had secured 10 seats and six seats, respectively. Too close to call was the

race for District 10, which encompasses parts of Eastchester, Tuckahoe and New Rochelle. Sheila Marcotte, the Republican incumbent, trailed Democrat Mary Jo Jacobs by 11 votes and voting machines had been impounded pending official numbers, according to Marcotte. With or without a Marcotte victory and despite lackluster results in several races, Republicans were able to stave off a retaking of the supermajority. It’s unclear if having the number of seats for a supermajority would mean a unified front regardless. Last year, two Democratic legislators, Michael Kaplowitz and Virginia Perez, formed a coalition with board Republicans to approve the 2013 county budget after most of the Democratic majority had walked out of the legislative meeting. Democrats were victorious in the county clerk and district attorney races. Incumbent clerk Tim Idoni fended off a challenge from Mary Beth Murphy and won with 53 percent of the vote. Incumbent District Attorney Janet DiFiore was uncontested.

storekeepers around campus. Each cookie had the distinctive Sara Snacker Cookie Co. logo, which became the name of her startup three years ago. Leand was an entrepreneur even before she had a college degree, creating recipes that catered to consumers who enjoyed classic flavors with a twist. One of her favorite recipes was the chip’netzel, which is a chocolate chip and pretzel shortbread cookie that tastes both salty and sweet. Leand said one day she decided to crush pretzel bits and use it as a peanut butter substitute. Mixing the pieces into shortbread dough, she decided to add the finishing touches by drizzling chocolate on top of the baked cookies. Soon, Leand shelved her cookie business to focus on school. After Leand graduated, she moved to California to work in television industry for the next 10 years. She decided to explore her baking ideas after getting married, moving to Rye and having her first child. “I started baking again because I was stressed trying to figure out what I wanted to do next,” Leand said. “I always thought I’d come back to baking as a grandmother.” As Leand became more serious about starting her own cookie business, she learned about the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, a nonprofit business trade association that helps roll out new enterprises. She entered a contest to win a spot in the association’s Fancy Food Show – a twice a year event – at which entrepreneurs can publicize their brands, receive critiques on packaging and branding and get advice on how to put their products on store shelves. Afterward, she began to go door-todoor asking storeowners if they were interested in selling her line of cookies. The business has grown rapidly and she now sells to 25 stores in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. In Westchester, Leand’s cookies are sold in the Rye Country Store in Rye Brook, all D’Agostino stores and Balducci’s in Scarsdale. As a child, Leand thought very highly of Zabar’s, a gourmet epicurean store that was across the street from her old Manhattan apartment. On a whim, she asked the owner years later if she could distribute her cookies there, and when the owner agreed, she said it was a “little girl’s dream come true.” Leand recalled how much she enjoyed tweaking ordinary recipes as a child to add a twist such as creating vanilla milkContinued on next page

shake cookies instead of plain vanilla and s’mores cookies instead of just chocolate chip. “When I was little, I would start with the basic recipe and always throw in something extra that wasn’t supposed to be in there or throw something on top,” Leand said. “As I got older, I got more creative with the experience and knew how to structure recipes and what to put in more of to give it a palatable flavor profile.” Leand came out with a new cookie this year: the peanut butter oatmeal chippy, which is made with peanut butter, whole grain oats and chocolate chips. Her original line of cookies includes the original chip’netzel, the dark chocolate chip’netzel, lemonade cookie, vanilla milkshake cookie and s’mores cookie. The cookies are made without artificial flavors, colors, additives or preservatives and are Kosher. Leand said she plans to add one new flavor a year. She will also begin selling jumbo-size cookies next year. But business is not the only thing that’s growing quickly. Leand’s family has grown, too. “I had three kids in the last four years,” Leand said. “Fortunately, I run a family business. My husband is my partner, but he’s also my CFO, and my kids are my cookie testers. It’s great I’m able to do my job and also be close to my children on a daily basis.” Leand said while it’s difficult to obtain shelf space for her product, she’s optimistic as she has already doubled her distributors from four to eight in the past two months. As she thinks about her next strategy for growth, she’s writing a cookbook. Within the next five years, Leand said she plans to open a brick and mortar store. Right now, she gets most of her business through the distributors and online sales at sarasnacker.com. “We’ve always been a distributor-based business,” Leand said. “But I would love to figure out how to generate more of our business. Our factory is in Long Island, and that’s the only space we have to create our products right now. If I had a brick and mortar, I would bake the cookies in the store and sell them fresh on the spot.”

Marketing on a tight budget I had to put marketing on the back burner for a while because of cash flow. I know you’ll probably tell me that was the wrong thing to do, but I didn’t feel like I had any options. How can I implement some low-cost/no-cost things in marketing without spending a lot of time doing it, so we don’t completely disappear from our clients’ and prospects’ radar.

Thoughts of the day: Today’s marketing world gives you a lot of low-cost/ no-cost options that are also not going to eat up tons of time. It’s smart of you to be aware of your cash flow and to know when you need to cut back spending. Focus efforts toward those prospects and client groups you want to most reach, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Think creatively about who can help you with marketing for little or no cost, until you can afford to spend more. The good news is that there’s a lot you can do to market your business for little or no cost and that’s largely thanks to the Internet. Do some research on what your com-

petitors are doing. This can be done pretty easily using the Internet or even making a few mystery calls. Once you see where they are marketing, it doesn’t always make sense to try and compete with them on the same platform. For example, if they’re not using YouTube or Pinterest, have your team brainstorm ways to use them. Don’t ignore the places your competitor is marketing, but trying to out-market them is not going to be cost effective. Hosting a small event for prospects can be done easily and it can be cost efficient. Set a budget, let’s say $300, and invite people for networking and appetizers or a 6-foot sub. Throw in an educational component and you’ll have people talking about your company. Word of mouth is still the most effective way to get new, good, customers, so don’t dismiss an event with only 20 people. Consumers’ today love to see companies that show support for charities. Donate your services or products to a local charity or organization and use social media to let people know about it. Use your wording carefully to ensure that people believe your company is genuine in its reasons. Think about partnering with another local company and work to better the community around you.

by andi gray

Social media is free for the most part and if you’ve been hesitant to get on the social media bandwagon remember that marketing is about getting your name out there. Figure out where your prospects are looking for information and you’ll narrow the energy you need to expend to achieve an impact. You can find out this information just by making some calls to people you know. This information will help you focus on highpotential activities. Spending when you don’t have the money is dumb. So is letting your company disappear from the public’s radar because you are short of funds. Long term, build a budget for marketing by putting aside a few dollars each week that can fund more expensive efforts down the road. Line up some helpers for marketing, people that are efficient at using the Internet. This typically means younger and less expensive people. Hire interns. You don’t have to pay them a high salary and it gives them an opportunity to make an impact. Call the local schools, ask for the intern department. Tell your employees you’re looking to hire people part time who are the age of their children and see who pops up.

The simpler the task, the lower the skill level needed, so make it simple. While entrylevel students may be quick on the Internet, they know nothing about your company. Ask your employees to help develop themes – what your company is about, why people work with your company, who your target is, and why. Whatever you do, don’t give up or ignore the problem. You competitors certainly won’t. Do what you can now to create a foundation for later. Looking for a good book?

Casino plan a winner BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

tate voters approved a proposition that will expand casino gambling in the state. The proposition, one of six that appeared on voting ballots last week, will see up to seven private casinos built across the state, the first four of which are slated for the economically depressed upstate region. Supporters, including business groups and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said the approval could create jobs in struggling regions of the state and net millions into the economy from tourism and gaming that would otherwise be spent at out-of-state casinos such as Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Detractors argued casinos would only further cripple troubled regions and would exploit those with gambling addictions and low incomes. The proposition passed with 57 percent of the vote in the state and 60 percent of the vote in Westchester County. Of the six proposals on Tuesday’s ballots, only one was knocked down: Proposition 6, which would have upped the mandatory retirement age for state Supreme Court judges from 70 to 80 years old. • Proposition 2 extends civil service credits for veterans with disabilities. • Proposition 3 extends an amendment to the state Constitution that allows municipalities to exclude debt related to sewer construction and reconstruction from regular debt limits. • Proposition 4 authorizes the state Legislature to settle disputed ownership over forest preserve parcels in the town of Long Lake in Hamilton County, an issue that has been dragging on 100 years. Private individuals and the state have sparred over who owns more than 200 parcels. Approval means the state will settle ownership of the parcels, create a fund from title fees, and then seek to obtain replacement land for the forest preserve. Opponents said its approval could set a precedent that favors private ownership in future disputes with the state. • Proposition 5 authorizes the state to make available 200 acres of forest preserve in Essex County to NYCO Minerals Inc. for mining in exchange for $1 million worth of land to be added to the preserve. Opponents said its approval would set a precedent that would trade preserved land for private company use. But those lobbying for approval touted the proposition as being good for the local economy.

business ideas

By JOE muRTaGh

Engaged people, the only sustainable advantage

ouldn’t we all like to enjoy higher productivity, greater customer satisfaction, faster time to market and more rapid innovation? How about lower turnover, fewer accidents, reduced absenteeism, higher productivity and increased willingness to change? All of these benefits can be enjoyed, but only with the help of engaged people. John C. Maxwell, The New York Times bestselling author and internationally recognized leadership expert, says, “If you ask the CEO of any major corporation what

where the food is being prepared or in the restroom that is kept tidy and has been cleaned with pride. It must all be consistent and requires an engaged person for each function. Everyone – customers, employees and outside vendors – must be fully engaged with your business. According to “The Engagement Equation” by Christopher Rice, Fraser Marlow and Mary Ann Masarech, “Engagement is a win-win relationship. The individual is getting what he or she wants from the job and the organization is getting what it needs from its employees.” Each person is important and must

characteristics are most needed for success in leadership positions, they will tell you it’s the ability to work with people.” That ability engages customers and employees. Entrepreneurs find that the difference between success and failure is people skills. Top salespeople confirm that knowing people is much more important than knowing product. The most successful teachers and tradesmen excel due to the cultivation of skills that engage the people they work with and you can, too. The quality and attitude of the people serving our meal is apparent as we enjoy a pleasurable dining experience, but that attitude is no less important in the kitchen

know how what they do helps the customer who, in turn, is responsible for providing them with a paycheck and keeping the business operating. People who know why their job matters and who are treated well treat those doing business with you well. Empathy is an important quality and we must show it with our people if we expect them to pass it on to our customer. Dale Carnegie once said, “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” People engagement skills suggested by Carnegie are: remember that a person’s name is, to him or her, the sweetest and most important thing they will ever hear; smile, encourage others to talk about themselves; and always find a way to sincerely compliment everyone. Believe in the goodness of all people and expect the best from everyone because, as the philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Treat a man as he appears to be and you will make him worse. Treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be and you will make him what he should be.” Even in the most engaging business with top-rate people skills, conflicts with customers and employees are inevitable. Always strive for win-win in any confrontation and try to be sure that the other person wins first. Always start out by seeking to understand rather than to be understood and don’t try to make an agreement right away. Fully engaged people, both customers and employees, will lead to higher productivity, greater customer satisfaction, faster time to market and more rapid innovation. Good people skills will lower turnover, decrease accidents and increase productivity. Fully engaged people are any organization’s only sustainable advantage.

How can we improve the level of our customer and employee engagement? Have we taught everyone the people engagement skills suggested by Carnegie?

Best of all, UB offers one of the most affordable university MBA programs available online.

A symphony of investment savvy By Georgette Gouveia ggouveia@westfairinc.com

t a time when arts organizations continue to struggle and some like the New York City Opera have folded, the Shelton, Conn.-based Barnum Financial Group and the Westchester Philharmonic are making beautiful music together. “Our relationship is twofold,” says financial services representative Byrke Sestok, a senior financial planner with Barnum, an office of MetLife that provides a full range of investment and risk management products and services to more than 230,000 clients. “We provide economic support… and financial education information on donor-giving programs – smart ways to provide more to the Phil.” With friends like these, the Philharmonic is able to continue its series of well-received concerts at Westchester’s Purchase College’s Performing Arts Center, which this season includes a Nov. 24 performance with pianist Jeremy Denk as soloist and orchestra leader. “It’s been a dicey few years,” says Joshua Worby, executive director of the orchestra. “But we’re hanging in.” Thanks in part to Barnum financial services representatives Christina Maurillo, Las Morrison, Peter Scarlato, Byrke Sestok and Christopher O. Titcombe. The five are community-minded individuals who work out of Barnum’s Elmsford office and are avocational musicians and/or music lovers. They decided, with Barnum’s assistance, to team to help the Philharmonic after meeting with Worby this past spring. “We had a matchmaker that brought us together,” he says. “It was like a blind date.” A blind date that has developed into a serious relationship: As an underwriting partner, Barnum donated $5,000 to the Friends of the Philharmonic dinner in June. Armed with information from the five, Worby says, “We are encouraging our patron base to think of planned giving to the Philharmonic, in terms of bequests, charitable remainder trusts and other taxadvantaged ways like transfers of property. “We are encouraging our donors to think long-range operationally to help us secure our present and our future,” he says. The Philharmonic, Worby says, is looking to develop a cash surplus and an endowment as well as to enhance its award-winning education program, always a drawing card for funders, particularly at a time when studies show early music education is a key to later success. Helping the Philharmonic achieve these goals is the goal of the Barnum five. “It’s possible that (Philharmonic donors) may want to consult with us,” Sestok says,

“but we’re not soliciting their business.” The Westchester Philharmonic was born in 1983 as the New Orchestra of Westchester and within a few seasons became the Westchester Philharmonic. From its inception through the 200708 season, the orchestra – which ranges from 60 to 90 professional area musicians, depending on the program – was led by Paul Lustig Dunkel. Then the Philharmonic made headlines when it announced that violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman would succeed him, beginning in October of 2008

– just as the bottom was falling out of the stock market. “It was a sizable three-year contract,” Worby says. “We made it through 2 ½ years. We couldn’t continue.” (Today the orchestra has a series of rotating conductors.) While reviews have been strong and the box office good, he says that subscriptions and single-ticket sales make up only a third of the approximately $1 million operating budget. The remaining two-thirds come from individual donors, foundations and government grants, and those sources dried

up when the economy tanked. Now with the Barnum partnership, the Philharmonic is reviving, along with the economy. We’re not out of the woods yet,” Worby says, “but we’re getting there.” The Westchester Philharmonic’s season continues Nov. 24 with pianist Jeremy Denk as soloist and orchestra leader in a program of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. For more information, call (914) 682-3707 or visit westchesterPhilharmonic.org.

Impact of changes to SEQRA forms uncertain By Frank McCullough and Seth Mandelbaum

he new Environmental Assessment Forms (EAFs) that must accompany the submission of applications for development projects both large and small may have the effect of discouraging applications for new projects. The revised submission forms that are required under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) that were intended to help streamline the municipal regulatory approval process may fall short of the desired goal. The introduction of the new forms by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) follows nearly two years of negotiations and hearings with the business community and environmental interests. We have been deeply involved in efforts to reform the SEQRA process. Respectively, we serve as chairman of the Westchester County Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development Task Force SEQRA Subcommittee, and a member of the subcommittee that met with DEC staff. We have provided extensive feedback on the proposed changes to the forms that are submitted to a lead agency to initiate an environmental review of a development application. While the revised EAFs improve the

transparency of the approval process as the state intended, unfortunately they place increased burdens on property owners, developers and investors. While it is too soon to gauge the impact the new forms will have, the changes made to both the short form used for smaller environmental actions and the full EAF used for more substantial projects, will likely add significant cost to the applicant and lengthen what is already a drawn-out municipal approval process. Effective Oct. 7, 2013, all project submissions for municipal review must use the new EAFs. Applications previously in process are not affected. In its attempt to simplify the review process, the DEC has adopted revised forms for the three SEQRA review project classifications: Type 1 actions are applications or actions for projects with potentially significant environmental impacts and require applicants to file a Full EAF. Type 2 actions involve small actions such as a building permit application, construction of a single-family home on a building lot (not a subdivision) or requests for setback variances that pose no potential environmental impacts and do not require SEQRA review or submission of an EAF. Unlisted actions involve proposals falling between Type 1 and 2. For these, the

DEC guidance document regarding the new EAFs urges municipal reviewing agencies to require the short EAF. The exception is in cases where the size of the project falls just below the threshold for a Type 1 action, in which case a full EAF may be deemed appropriate. However, this is a suggestion and not a requirement. Thus, local reviewing agencies can choose to require the long forms for any unlisted action regardless of its scope or size. The original plan was to introduce the new EAFs in tandem with revised SEQRA regulations. However, while the DEC adopted the new forms, it has not yet implemented revised regulations supporting the forms, having adopted a Final Scope for a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on the revised regulations in November 2012, with no further public action taken to date. The DEC is providing guidance to applicants by providing EAF workbooks that can be used in the preparation and review of EAF submissions, and it has established the Environmental Resource Manager, a webbased interactive mapping application that can be used to locate New York state-regulated freshwater wetlands and state-classified streams and water bodies. The potential problems, however, arise with the supposedly simplified application forms that effectively raise rather than ease the burden on the applicant, which was the original intent for revising the forms. The new short EAF actually looks a lot more like the previous full EAF, while the new

full EAF resembles a mini-Environmental Impact Statement. In the case of the full EAF, the applicant must now provide a great deal of additional detail and information compared with the prior requirements. In conference calls and meetings with the DEC, we repeatedly expressed our concerns that the new full EAF seeks so much information, that it is likely to have the effect of discouraging applicants from submitting development proposals because they will have to spend so much money up front. The impact of the changes will largely be determined at the local level. If municipal reviewing agencies use the forms as a way to lengthen the approval process and increase the upfront financial burdens on property owners and developers, the net impact of the revised application forms that were supposed to streamline the approval process will have the opposite effect in Westchester and across the state. And that would be a true lost opportunity for new economic development that creates jobs and helps keep property taxes down. The finalization of the GEIS and the implementation of new regulations by the DEC would go a long way toward providing much needed clarity with SEQRA.

SPECIAL Commercial REPORT Real estate

Mount Vernon takes on $350K brownfields project BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

ount Vernon recently received a $354,607 state grant to revitalize 29-acres of dormant and potentially contaminated land around the Mount Vernon East train station three years after its initial application. Mount Vernon is one of 26 communities to receive funding through the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s Brownfield Opportunity Area grants totaling $10 million. Brownfields are underutilized industrial and commercial properties where the presence or potential presence of contamination has hindered redevelopment. The Mount Vernon planning board is spearheading the initial phase of the project and identifying ways to capitalize on Mount Vernon’s assets including the train stations and the existing commercial and industrial infrastructures. The project will target nine separate properties. “This funding allows for municipalities to implement revitalization strategies to redevelop impacted areas,” said Louis J. Albano, acting planning commissioner and the project leader for the city of Mount Vernon. “We hope that these sites can become community assets again to increase jobs and expand the local tax base.” The planning board will issue a request for proposals to hire a preliminary consultant by the end of the year, Albano said. Meanwhile, the planning board is conducting in-house meetings to map out practical uses for the southeast portion of Mount Vernon that borders the Bronx and Pelham and the underutilized parcels between the Mount Vernon East and Mount Vernon West train stations. “What exists in the southeast portion are a combination of asphalt and concrete plants, auto repair shops, light manufacturing businesses and underutilized properties,” Albano said. “We’ve got some businesses bordering the Mount Vernon train stations, but right down the middle of the train tracks is a big empty space.”

The plan is to develop the areas with corporate offices, residential homes and retail businesses to attract young professionals, new families and seniors who will have easy access to the city’s downtown and its public transportation systems. The Mount Vernon East train station was first identified as an opportunity area in 2009 through a comprehensive plan process that looked at expanding existing businesses and creating new transitoriented developments, especially around Petrillo Plaza, the county’s third-busiest bus hub next to the train station. The city is considered “cost-burdened,” which means most residents spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Mount Vernon has the highest rate of unemployment in Westchester for adults, youth and minority youth, and the city’s has been looking to improve this is by cre-

ating new jobs through this revitalization plan. But this isn’t the city’s first brownsfield redevelopment initiative. Two years ago, Mount Vernon received a similar state grant of $435,160 to revitalize a 231-acre area with 20 potential brownfield sites located in the city’s southeastern section called the Canal Village area. The grant totaled $6.5 million with the state spending more than $32 million on more than 100 ongoing revitalization initiatives at the time. The redevelopment of brownfields has increased property value for businesses within a quarter to half a mile radius of the redeveloped site and increased job opportunities, Albano said. “Redeveloping brownfield sites can create 90 to 100 jobs through the cleanup and construction phase and bring in new businesses,” Albano said. “Studies have

shown that every dollar of public investment on brownfield leverages $8 in total investments through job creation, wages and taxes.” Nearly a decade ago, the city had yet another brownfield revitalization project take place on the Sandford Boulevard corridor, where redevelopment attracted new businesses including national stores such as a Staples, Best Buy, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Famous Footwear, T.J. Maxx, Petco and Super Stop & Shop. “That retail redevelopment has become a very successful shopping district within lower Westchester County creating quite a few permanent jobs within the retail industry and the support services to keep those shopping areas functioning,” Albano said. “We hope to continue to move redevelopment projects from the east to the west.”

estchester County’s commercial office space vacancy rate held even in the third quarter of 2013, helped by several large-scale transactions that balanced the market. Several different analyses have slightly different figures, based on different methods of defining building classifications and their geographical designations as well as when office real estate deals officially close. But a number of analyses corroborate a market still adapting its existing commercial space to the needs of modern tenants. Rick Rakow of Rakow Commercial Realty Group shared figures with the Business Journal that tagged the vacancy rate in the county at 13.5 percent compared with 14.8 percent in the third quarter of 2012. Class A vacancies are at 17 percent in 2013’s third quarter compared with 18.7 percent in the third quarter of 2012. Still, Rakow said his company focuses less on vacancy than “available” space – those properties that owners are receiving rent on but have been informed that a tenant will be leaving. There is 9 million square feet of available space in the county compared with roughly 6.5 million square feet of vacant space. 10/30/13 11:10 AM Page 1 Rakow said he felt the vacancy rate was surprisingly low. “When we bring tenants out into the market, it does not ‘feel’ like there has been a lot of absorption,” he said. “It is not uncommon to revisit the same space several times over the course of a year or more with different tenants. A lot of space just sits there.” Many larger companies continue to shed jobs, Rakow said, and there is nothing on the horizon that will positively change that soon. “Overall, the only thing that is going to move the needle is jobs, jobs, jobs,” he said. “In the

NRT

meantime, this is a very good time to be a tenant and we are working with many companies who are taking advantage of what this market has to offer them.” Overall asking rents ended the third quarter at $26.85 per square foot, according to an analysis by Stamford-based CBRE Group Inc. That is a 2 percent increase over last year. Other analyses pegged the rate at similar figures, with Rakow’s asking rent at $24.97 per square foot, down from $25.13 a year ago. But figured from Jones Lang LaSalle, a Stamford, Conn.-based specialized real eastate firm, show steady leases and slight decreases in vacancy rates as compared with 2012 show some consistency in the local real estate market. The “even keel” gave building owners confidence to raise average asking rental rates, JLL said. Chris O’Callaghan, the company’s managing director and Westchester lead, said the area lacks world-class office product and suggested the county should rezone and repurpose along the Interstate 287 corridor. “Westchester County players have been slow to understand they face global competition for tenants in today’s market,” he said. “The county needs to prioritize business attraction and retention efforts for the office market to gain some steam.” JLL’s report said that Westchester’s leasing activity dipped in the third quarter to slightly more than 300,000 square feet. There was a pick up in larger scale transactions compared with only one during the previous quarter, according to JLL figures. There has been roughly 1.3 million to 1.4 million square feet of space leased year to date, according to the analyses. JLL noted that the I-287 east corridor was “the major” player. Among the top 10 transactions in the third quarter, eight were new deals and half were in the I-287 east corridor.

Running is his way of life BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

“T

oday was light,” Dennis Noskin said softly, almost sheepishly, over the phone on Election Tuesday. He was describing not his workload at his eponymous 10-employee architectural firm in Tarrytown, but his exercise mileage in a pair of running shoes. “I ran 3½,” he said. This from a 55-yearold architect of commercial building interiors who, on a typical weekend of leisure at home in Greenwich, will run seven miles on Saturday and then “go long” on Sunday and leg it 14 miles. Nothing like running half a marathon’s distance and then some to clear your mind for the Sunday newspaper. “I ran from my house to vote and I ran back,” said the dutiful citizen. “I brought my ID with me and that was it. You can make it a way of life.” Dennis Noskin has made it a sporting way of life that would leave many of us – fit, sure, but let’s not go to physical and mental extremes – feeling like death in running shorts. The way took him in late October to Washington, D.C. and across the Potomac to Arlington Cemetery, the starting point for the annual Marine Corps Marathon. It was the first Marine Corps run for the marathoner and trail runner, who has eased off the pedals on his cross-country bicycling – from here to Montreal, Niagara Falls, “Cape Cod the long way” – because “I’ve really turned into a runner again.” At Half Hollow Hills High School on Long Island, Noskin ran the mile on the track team and raced cross-country distances that would have taken him only about two-thirds of the way to his polling place on Election Day. “I’ve realized over time that my sweet spot is the longer distances,” he said. In the nation’s capital, “I ran with a high school friend that I hadn’t run with in 25

OUT OF THE OFFICE

Dennis Noskin finds the going rocky on a Catskills trail run in 2012.

years.” They followed a tourist’s route along The National Mall and past the Capitol and the panoply of national monuments in the company of more than 23,000 other sweaty, winded, mentally focused tourists sharing a 26.2-mile itinerary. The route was lined by 5,000 Marines who handed out oranges and liquid sustenance and encouragement. “It was sort of a very moving marathon,” said Noskin. The last 100 yards back in Virginia were uphill and ended in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial, a memorable closing image for an exhausted runner. “It’s one of the cooler marathons I’ve run.” About two months ago, the architect accepted a beguiling invitation from a younger friend – the first American finisher in September in the Greek Spartathlon, a

153-mile race from Athens to Sparta – to join him on an offbeat city tour on foot. On a fair summer evening, the duo set out from the World Financial Center on a 31-mile circumnavigation of the island of Manhattan. They started at the World Financial Center and ran up the Hudson River Greenway to Inwood at Manhattan’s northern tip, skirting Harlem River Drive and hoofing it through Harlem to the East River and FDR Drive, passing City Hall on their final leg to the South Street Seaport and Battery Park. Like awestruck tourists, they soaked up the sights and sounds of New York along the way. “The city was just all lit up for us,” said Noskin. It’s a nice way to see Manhattan, if you have the legs and lungs for it. Touring time for those 31 miles? “Six hours and change. It wasn’t a blazing pace. We stopped at bodegas for Gatorades.” One week later, the exemplar of middle-aged fitness learned a hard lesson when he attempted another marathon in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. His body had not fully bounced back from that whirlwind tour of Manhattan. “I’m not 20, I couldn’t do it,” said the chagrined runner. “It’s only the second time

in my life I DNF’d” – Did Not Finish, that is. “I did 13½ miles. I could have finished it, but I would have been ripped up.” Still, Noskin has faced and conquered greater challenges in running shoes. “I’ve fallen in love with trail running,” he said. “I’m really enjoying the trail runs the best. Every step that you make is critical. If you fall on a trail, you do a face plant.” In late July, he traveled up the Hudson Valley to the northern Catskills for the Escarpment Trail Run, an 18.6-mile run, stumble, climb, slip and slide on a narrow hiking trail with a total of 10,000 feet in elevation changes. Noskin has done it twice. “It’s definitely the toughest race I’ve ever run, tougher than anything.” This year he finished in five hours and 38 minutes. “The guys in front of me got bit by bees,” he said. “A friend was an hour behind me. I said, what took you so long? He said he met a bear” on the trail. At the Escarpment run, “There’s no medals, there’s no T-shirts, there’s no nothing,” said Noskin. “Which is great – just keep it that way.” The recovery from a punishing trail run through the Catskills? “My friend said it best,” said Noskin, who had several bruising falls and rocky encounters on his Catskill runs. “He said his glutes were not talking to him for three days.” “I’m not an elite runner. I just do it. But I enjoy it. It clears your head and I think it helps your concentration.” “I find that it translates back to work.” In the office after a grueling race, “I can get back in a zone and really focus on something.” He has run the New York City Marathon, lesser-known marathons in Gettysburg and Cape May, and several other trail races in this area. In 2014, the principal of Dennis Noskin Architects will run his first Boston Marathon, having qualified in a race this year with a time of 3 hours and 31 minutes – nine minutes below the cutoff time for his age group. “I always have something scheduled on the calendar because it gives me a goal,” he said. One day after the poignant 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Noskin is scheduled to line up in Maryland for the JFK 50 Mile. “I did it last year for the first time. I did it in 9:36, which is OK. It got me in before dark.” It was JFK who half a century ago sought to counter a rise in obesity among outof-shape Americans with programs sponsored by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, Noskin reminded us. Were Kennedy to witness the corpulent state of his fellow Americans today, “He’d probably be rolling over in his grave.” WCBJ • November 11, 2013
