Empire Resorts chosen as Catskills casino operator

he former Concord Resort property in Sullivan County could be revived as a tourist destination after its selection by a state gaming board as the site of a Catskills casino to be developed by a nearby harness racetrack operator and the owner of New Roc City in New Rochelle.

Supporters of a resort casino in Sullivan County emerged as winners in the highly competitive and occasionally rancorous competition this year for the state’s award of up to four casino gambling licenses in three upstate regions. Orange County supporters saw their bid for a casino dashed when the state Gaming Facility Location Board rejected all six applications from proposed developers there, citing concerns about “cannibalization” of existing gaming businesses in the New York City area and the risk that a casino in Orange County would pose to the success of a new competing casino in Sullivan or Ulster counties.

With those concerns, the five-member board chose only one casino proposal rather than the two allowed by state law for the Catskills and Hudson Valley region. The board also selected developers’ proposals for casinos in the city of Schenectady in the Capital region and in Seneca County in the Finger Lakes region.

The board will recommend to the state Gaming Commission that it license Montreign Resort Casino on the nearly 1,700-acre site of the former Concord Resort Hotel in the town of Thompson. The chosen applicant, Montreign Operating Co. LLC, is a subsidiary of Empire Resorts Inc., which owns and operates the Monticello Casino and Raceway a few miles from the planned development.

Empire Resorts has partnered on the casino project with EPR Properties, a specialty real estate investment trust based in Kansas City, Mo. EPR is a former partner of Westchester County developer Louis Cappelli at New Roc City, the entertainment and retail complex in New Rochelle, and at City Center in White Plains. In a legal settlement in 2010, Cappelli transferred most of the acreage his company owned at the Concord Resort site to EPR as the partners’ plans to redevelop the site were halted in the financial crisis Casinos, page 6

Cidermaker, Yonkers win state awards

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

Rockland County company with a Badass name was among the region’s million-dollar award winners in the state’s fourth round of regional economic development funding recently announced in Albany.

The city of Yonkers and one of the city’s private downtown developers were among the winners of state grants of $1 million or more.

The seven-county mid-Hudson Valley region, which stretches from suburban Westchester to rural Ulster and Sullivan counties, received the largest share, $82.8 million, of the state’s $709.2 million in grants and tax credits awarded for private and municipal projects through Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative to create jobs and new and expanded businesses.

Ten councils across the state each year identify priority projects and shepherd applications for state aid from businesses and municipalities under the direction of the Empire State Development agency’s regional offices.

The grants and income tax credits through the state’s Excelsior Jobs Program will benefit

BIOINC@NYMC NAMED INNOVATION HOT SPOT New York Medical College’s new biotechnology business incubator was named one of five Innovation Hot Spots in the state in the round of regional economic development funding awards.

BioInc@NYMC, which opened this fall for entrepreneurs and startups in a renovated research building on the Valhalla campus, was named the midHudson region’s Innovation Hot Spot.

New York Medical College officials said each hot-spot awardee will receive up to $250,000 annually in financial support from the state to expand their direct assistance to young firms, including legal, technical and business support services.

The Albany announcement came shortly after New York Medical College was added to the state’s Start-UP NY program, which will yoke new businesses to academic institutions and their resources and specialties in taxfree zones on college campuses statewide. New York Medical College is the third school in Westchester County to join Start-Up NY.

118 projects in the region, state officials said.

Of the total award for this region, $35 million, or 42 percent, will come as tax-free federal industrial development bonds allocated to state and local bond-issuing authorities.

An additional $3.05 million will be reserved as state income tax credits through the state’s Excelsior Jobs Program for future projects by businesses that invest in industries strategically targeted for growth by the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council.

The mid-Hudson council received the largest regional share as one of the state’s five “top performers” in 2014. Long Island, another top performer, was awarded the next largest share, $81.9 million, for 97 projects. A total of 852 projects were awarded funding statewide.

Headquartered in Blauvelt, Badass Cider Co. LLC, the maker of Badass Hard Cider, will receive a $500,000 grant to develop a brewing and distilling operation for craft beer, cider and spirits. The company, which produces its apple and pear hard ciders at the Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville, also was awarded $1 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for its manufacturing expansion project.

The city of Yonkers was awarded $4.63 million for three projects, including $2.5 million for the third phase of its Saw Mill River daylighting project along New Main Street between Nepperhan Avenue and Getty Square. The city’s long-term project with private residential developers to revitalize the Ashburton Avenue neighborhood and traffic corridor was awarded a $1.5 million grant for road, bridge and sidewalk improvements.

The city also stands to receive $630,000 in grants for an expansion of exhibition space at the Hudson River Museum.

SoYo Exalta LLC, a company formed in June by downtown Yonkers landlord and developer Nick Sprayregen, was awarded a $1 million grant for its proposed mixeduse development on Larkin Plaza that would include 400 luxury rental units in a 550,000-square-foot tower. The estimated $168 million project would include nearly 110,000 square feet of parking and 34,000 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant space along a commercial block that fronts the city’s 2-year-old Van der Donck Park on the Saw Mill River.

Community Capital New York Inc., a nonprofit alternative lender to the region’s small businesses with headquarters in Hawthorne, was awarded a $1 million grant to create the Hudson Valley Opportunity Loan Fund, a revolving loan fund targeted toward small businesses and social enterprises owned by minorities, women and veterans.

In Ulster County, The Solar Energy

Consortium was awarded a $1 million grant for equipment purchases by the consortium’s sister organization in Kingston, the Center for Global Advanced Manufacturing.

The equipment will be used in SUNY Manufacturing Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) labs that train students for specialty manufacturing on state college campuses in the mid-Hudson Valley.

In Orange County, Middletown Community Health Center Inc. was awarded a $1.65 million grant for its project to convert the former Ontario & Western Railway Station in Middletown into a community health center.

In Dutchess County, Mensch Grasmere LLC was awarded $1 million for its Grasmere Farm Hotel project, a proposal to adaptively reuse stone barns, a manor house and other buildings on the historic Grasmere Estate as hotel and events space. The redevelopment of the 450-acre property in Rhinebeck would include a working farm and farm market, a spa and a restaurant.

State officials in their awards announcement highlighted three private-sector projects in this region.

Merlin Entertainments Group US Holdings Inc., the U.S. division of a United Kingdom company that operates theme parks and resorts on three continents, was awarded $3.1 million toward site development for its planned Legoland theme park resort in Haverstraw.

Also in Rockland County, Jawonio Inc., a services provider for people with developmental disabilities and special needs, was awarded $2.5 million for its four-year, $24 million expansion and consolidation project on its nearly 17-acre main campus in New City. State officials said the project includes construction of 97,000 square feet of state-of-the-art space and an investment in IT infrastructure “that will better position Jawonio for the planned expansion of its employment services division.”

In Orange County, USAI Lighting, a manufacturer of LED fixtures, was awarded $1.25 million to expand and modernize its New Windsor facility. The project will enable the return to New Windsor of several company product lines being manufactured in China, according to Empire State Development officials. The company has grown from $5.9 million in revenue to $35.6 million in seven years, they said.

In Westchester, Historic Hudson River Towns, a nonprofit intermunicipal organization, was awarded a $250,000 grant to conduct a feasibility study of the proposed development of a museum in the former powerhouse at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining.

New Rochelle approves master developer agreement City officials say community will benefit after ‘false starts’ in the past

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

L

ou Trangucci said that in his years as an elected member of the New Rochelle City Council, he has held an anti-development stance as companies came in with plans of building high-rises and major mixed-use projects in exchange for tax breaks. Companies would get profits, but what city residents would get was less clear, he said.

“Developers in the past have not shown us benefit(s) that would have been substantial to the city,” Trangucci said.

But Trangucci, a Republican, voted in unison with the entire seven-person City Council on Dec. 15, agreeing to officially enter into a master development agreement with a Long Island-based partnership in what city officials are calling the largest and most ambitious development project in the city’s history.

The agreement aims to revitalize the downtown through development and redevelopment in two clusters that will include residential, retail, commercial and public spaces. A rezoning of the area is anticipated that will not only pave the way for construction on several cityowned properties, but also encourage existing private property owners to build up, elected officials said.

Mayor Noam Bramson, a Democrat, said the city’s downtown development efforts have “come a long way and still have a long way to go.”

“We have an opportunity now to take a giant leap forward,” he said prior to casting his ‘yes’ vote. “It’s up to all of us together to seize that opportunity.”

RDRXR, a partnership between RXR Realty LLC and Renaissance Downtowns, will use its “crowdsourced placemaking” process to gather input from the community and open a project office on North Avenue next year.

Councilman Al Tarantino, a Republican, said he was drawn to the partnership’s approach to community outreach, which he said should ensure there is a net benefit to the community in any construction.

“In the past that wasn’t always the case,” he said. “We’ve gone through some false starts in the past and I believe this concept is very different and very unique.”

The financial obligations of both parties in the contract are unknown. A request from the Business Journal seeking

a copy of the agreement and asking for specifics about the financial parameters was denied by a city spokeswoman, who said it would not be made public until signed by both parties. Based on discussions at a Dec. 16 meeting of the city’s Local Development Corp., the companies will assume the cost of the initial zoning analyses, market analyses and state environmental quality studies.

The agreement will give the partnership exclusive development rights for a number of city-owned properties, including the public library parking lot, the train station, or “Transit Center,” and a number of parking garages ranging from Church to Garden streets.

Chuck Strome, the city manager, said purchasing of the properties would be contingent on the projects being shovelready. “They can’t just get the property and just hold it forever until they decide to do a project,” he said during the Local Development Corp. meeting. “They’ll have to have gotten the construction loans, guaranteed maximum price and be ready to go with the project.”

A comprehensive downtown development of New Rochelle could grow the city’s skyline vertically and also dramatically increase its population. At nearly 80,000 residents, New Rochelle is Westchester County’s second-largest city.

The city’s Department of Development

has joined with the New Rochelle Board of Education to contract a consultant that would study effects of the downtown redevelopment on student growth in the public school system.

Councilman Jared Rice, a Democrat, said the projects would not only broaden the city tax base but increase housing options for young people and empty nesters.

“This is the New Rochelle that we’ve all been waiting for, this is the New Rochelle we’re all ready for,” he said.

“And I look forward to the time where we can put shovels in the ground, we can get some cranes in the air, we can get things going.”

Why I voted against the ‘borrow from tomorrow’ budget

T

he Westchester County Board of Legislators recently passed a $1.76 billion budget for 2015. This budget is bad for the people of Westchester because it contains excessive borrowing for operating expenses that will yield big tax hikes, which will be paid with interest, for taxpayers in years to come. Borrowing for operating expenses is like using your credit cards to pay your rent. It should only be done in the direst of circumstances. Holiday spending is the perfect metaphor for this type of budget: It feels good now but will cost dearly in the near future.

Independent watchdogs like the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee noted the structural imbalance in this “borrow from tomorrow” budget when it was first submitted to the Board of Legislators in November by County Executive Rob Astorino. Its report cautioned that an unprecedented reliance on borrowing and “one shot” revenue sources to fund current year operating expenses was leading Westchester County to a dangerous, fiscally irresponsible future.

There is upward of $25 million in bor-

rowing in the 2015 budget, including pension costs, raises and the purchase of equipment normally paid for on a pay-when-you-purchase basis. The county executive’s budget also included $5 million to replace lost Community Development Block Grant funding from the federal government for our communities (thanks to the county executive’s intransigence in complying with the housing settlement) and “any other borrowing permitted by law” for operating expenses, according to the county’s budget staff. This is the very type of borrowing that led to New York City’s financial crisis in the 1970s.

There are “one shot” revenue sources, such as depleting $6 million of the E911 fund, which is paid for by people on their cellphone bills. Perhaps the biggest omission in the budget is not including money for future labor contract settlements. All of these costs must be burdened by taxpayers in the near future.

These types of gimmicks and short-sighted actions defy the principles of good budgeting. Yet they are the result of a “borrow and spend” budget that offloads the respon-

sibility for today’s spending on to tomorrow’s taxpayers. The proposed budget offered no new or innovative program to increase revenue, share services or find additional ways of conducting the county’s business more efficiently.

And instead of working with one of the two operators that are willing to enter into a public-private relationship to run Playland in 2015, the administration instead decided to pay an outside consultant $100,000 to study the park, thereby once again delaying the opportunity to make Playland profitable for Westchester.

Democratic Legislators offered $10 million in spending cuts to offset this massive borrowing and begin to make a down payment on a structurally balanced budget.

Unfortunately, only a fraction of these cuts are included in the final budget. This $10 million would have forestalled the raid on the E911 reserve and eliminated the need for borrowing for tax certioraris.

I applaud all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for working collaboratively to try to improve this budget. The borrowing for tax certioraris was reduced to $5 million; funding was restored to 2014 levels for

Title XX Childcare, a program the keeps lowincome families in the labor force and off of more expensive mandated public assistance; a wasteful bond act to fill potholes on county roads was replaced with the restoration of a road crew that will stay on top of road maintenance and save taxpayers money in future years; and funding was increased for alternative programs to juvenile incarceration, which saves taxpayers money and reduces recidivism drastically. I am pleased that the Democratic caucus was able to negotiate to keep these priorities in the final budget.

Elected officials have an obligation to consider the long-term consequences of any government policy or program and its cost to taxpayers, and to find innovative, affordable ways to pay those costs. Living off the county’s credit is just as reckless as living off your family’s credit card.

Due to the structurally imbalanced nature of the 2015 county budget, with its unsustainable “borrow from tomorrow” strategy, I could not in good conscience vote for it.

Buildings — From page 6

Keefe said the complex deal took three years to complete. It includes a Section 1031 exchange in which the seller’s group this month will acquire a hotel in Houston, Texas, at the sale price of the Class A office properties in White Plains. Keefer said the seller’s group owns three other hotels.

PepsiCo Inc. for two years has subleased 234,000 square feet of space at 1111 Westchester Ave., where about 700 employees were moved during a scheduled 2½-year renovations project at the food and beverage giant’s permanent headquarters on Anderson Hill Road in Purchase. The building was vacated about three years ago by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. when the company relocated about 800 employees to its new Harbor Point headquarters in Stamford, Conn. PepsiCo when leasing the swing space said it would spend about $10 million to renovate it.

John LaValley, vice president of investments at Onyx Equities in Woodbridge, N.J., in an email to the Business Journal said PepsiCo “has not provided any insight into their plan for 1111-1129 Westchester Avenue after their Purchase campus is complete. However, we believe 1111-1129 is a great strategic location for PepsiCo because of its accessibility, visibility from I-287 and unmatched physical quality.”

JAG Footwear, Accessories and Retail Corp., formerly Nine West Footwear Corp., has its headquarters at 1129 Westchester Ave. The downsized shoe company subleased its space at 1111 Westchester to PepsiCo. LaValley said the property is in excellent physical condition and is maintained and operated by the tenant, JAG Footwear.

Asked what made the deal an attractive investment to Onyx, LaValley said, “11111129 Westchester Avenue is one of the best office buildings in all of Westchester. The building has been 100 percent leased for over twenty years. We believe the property will maintain its top ranking and continue to attract the best tenants in the market.”

Onyx Equities in early 2014 regained ownership at 1311 Mamaroneck Ave., formerly the Parker Corporate Center, an approximately 326,000-square-foot office park complex in White Plains, after its previous owner defaulted on a $52 million mortgage loan.

Onyx sold the property in 2008 for approximately $81.8 million, after paying approximately $13.9 million in early 2007 for the three-building office complex near Saxon Woods.

Onyx has begun a $4 million renovation project at the Mamaroneck Avenue property.

EPR later teamed on the Catskills resort project with Empire Resorts, where Cappelli was a stockholder and formerly served as a director.

Cappelli this year partnered with the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, which operates the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut, in a losing proposal to develop Mohegan Sun at the Concord, a $550 million casino resort on property in the town of Thompson that adjoins the state’s selected Montreign site.

Montreign’s proposed 18-story, 80,000,-square-foot casino and 391-room hotel would be the centerpiece of a larger family destination resort, Adelaar, unveiled last March by EPR and Empire Resorts executives. Adelaar – the Dutch word for eagle – will include a nongaming, family-oriented Indoor Waterpark Lodge with 350 rooms and an 80,000-square-foot indoor water park; a 200,000-square-foot Entertainment Village

with restaurants and specialty retail shops, and the Concord’s redesigned Monster golf course.

Kevin Law, chairman of the Gaming Facility Location Board, said Empire Resorts

proposed a total capital investment of $630 million. EPR and Empire Resorts in their application said their combined investment for the full Adelaar project will be approximately $1.1 billion. The partners said they invested $178 million in the project before the casino licensing legislation took effect this year.

Law said the Montreign casino is expected to generate $301 million in gross gaming revenue and $103 million in gaming tax revenue annually. Montreign expects to create 1,209 full-time and 96 part-time jobs.

The state board also recommended casino licenses for Rivers Casino & Resort at Mohawk Harbor, a $300 million development in downtown Schenectady proposed

by Rush Street Gaming LLC in Chicago and The Galesi Group, a Schenectady developer already embarked on a $150 million mixed-use redevelopment at the 60-acre waterfront site of the proposed casino. The site was abandoned 45 years ago by one of the city’s largest employers, the American Locomotive Co. Competing with two other developers for a casino license in the eastern Southern Tier region, Lago Resort and Casino was

chosen for a $425 million hotel and casino project in the town of Tyre.

David Brain, president and CEO of EPR Properties, in a press release called the board’s Catskills selection “a critical step for EPR in realizing the larger vision of Adelaar, as the Montreign Resort Casino serves as the activating component to make this gamechanging project come to life.”

Emanuel Pearlman, chairman of Empire Resorts, called the board’s choice “an important next step as we finalize our plans to attract tourism to upstate New York and create thousands of good-paying jobs as well as new revenue for local businesses.”

At The Business Council of Westchester, executive vice president and COO John Ravitz in a statement called the board’s decision not to approve a gaming license for Orange County “the right one for New York.”

An Orange County casino “could have cannibalized an already successful business,” Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, “that employs thousands of people and generates hundreds of millions of dollars for New York and would have jeopardized other potential casinos just north of Orange County,” he said.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Ramping up your workers’ experience I have an inexperienced team of people. They’re eager and want to learn, and they are picking things up quickly. That said, I need to get them ready for a big seasonal push that’s coming within a few short weeks. How do I get them started right – and quickly?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Getting things done right is important. Lay out a training plan in writing. Test for comprehension in small doses. Look for trainers within the pool of people who do the work already. Get out of the way to find out if they can do it. Move people around until you get the right fit.

Doing work without mistakes saves time, effort and money. Multiply revenue by 1 percent. That’s a dollar estimate of what each 1 percent increase in costs related to errors means to your business. That should be motivation enough to make it worth your while to figure out how to move new people into the workforce with as little disruption and as few errors as possible.

Before you put people to work, prepare some written instructions. They’ll pick up more if you back that up with written notes they can refer to as they go about doing the work. Ask people to make corrections to the training notes if they find something that doesn’t make sense or that is done differently from the way it was described.

Decide how much should be taught each day and how to measure progress.

The first time is the hardest; after the first round of training you’ll have benchmarks based on the first group’s progress. If error rates spike, slow down the training until the error rate drops.

Go through each routine or job that people will be performing and lay out the parameters. Identify who should be consulted if there’s a question. If more than one person is involved, put it in writing – who to go to for what.

Set up a time at the end of each day to review how things went. Focus first on what went well and how much progress was made. Then talk about what went wrong, and what errors or problems people encountered.

Encourage people to discuss problems openly. Ask them to describe how they dealt with the challenges they ran into and what they learned. Make sure that people who are struggling get someone assigned to work with them one-on-one. Wrap up with encouragement for the next day by

focusing on the progress made so far.

Start the next day with a brief meeting to go back over what has been learned.

Remind people about lessons from the previous day’s wrap-up. Ask if anyone had any insights overnight that they’d like to share.

Find competent trainers who can teach people what to do and act as positive role models. Look at the pool of people who already do the job well. Ask one or two of them to do training part time. Look for trainers who take pride in a job well done, who do it with a smile and who are good at encouraging those around them to enjoy what they’re doing.

Think twice about moving someone into training just because they’re good at

the task. Make sure they have good people skills as well. A big part of training is motivating and encouraging people.

Steadily ramp up the tasks people are asked to perform. If they make mistakes, see if they recognize they’ve made a mistake and if they can fix it on their own.

Give people a chance to show you without being interrupted. If possible, make people figure out how to fix their mistakes instead of fixing it for them. If they don’t get it, then show them how to do the task and ask them to do it exactly the way you showed them.

Consider that people may have hidden talents. You might hire a person to do one task and then find out they’re really

good at something else. Don’t be afraid to switch people around. Move someone else in to do the task you hired this person for.

Move this person on to the tasks for which they’ve shown more aptitude.

WCA EVENTS CELEBRATE INNOVATION INNOVATION WHILE BRINGING GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK TO WESTCHESTER

A First for Westchester!

It was an amazing, action-packed week—and a first in Westchester County.

Through three outstanding “Year of Innovation” programs, and culminating in our Annual Leadership Dinner, the Westchester County Association (WCA) brought Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) home to Westchester, and shined a light on the innovators and leaders who are bringing to life ideas that generate economic growth in Westchester and the region. All over the world, from November 18–21, GEW events were geared to help entrepreneurs take the next step.

In Westchester, the WCA made it happen!

FERC to give quarterly updates on capacity zone

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

T

he federal regulator that approved a special pricing plan that sent Hudson Valley electric rates soaring in the spring has shown a “disdain for transparency and open government,” according to Dutchess County Executive Marcus J. Molinaro.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, approved a Hudson Valley “electric capacity zone” that went into effect May 1, despite opposition from elected officials, local municipalities and the state’s own utilities regulator, the Public Service Commission. Electricity providers in the region said the zone translates to a 6 percent increase on residential bills and a 10 percent increase on industrial bills.

“As I have stated previously, I have never interacted with a less accessible, less accountable government entity, seemingly impervious to legislative and public scrutiny,” Molinaro, a Republican, said.

FERC will now have to give quarterly reports on the capacity zone that will include analyses of the effect on ratepayers. The new

requirement was baked into the “cromnibus” $1.1 trillion federal spending bill that controversially passed through both houses of Congress last week.

“FINALLY GETTING SOME ACCOUNTABILITY FROM FERC IS AN ENCOURAGING FIRST STEP, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS FIGHT CONTINUES.” — U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney

Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat, announced the new provisions in a news release Monday. “We cannot let FERC make unilateral decisions that result in unwarranted rate hikes for already hard-hit Hudson Valley ratepayers,” he said.

The pushback against the zone has been led in the House by Rep. Chris Gibson, a Columbia County Republican, and Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, a Putnam County

Democrat, both of whom have sought to have the zone repealed altogether.

Maloney said, “Finally getting some accountability from FERC is an encouraging first step, but make no mistake, this fight continues.” Three state utilities are looking to eliminate the zone and reimburse customers for higher rates, but a federal appeals court has yet to make a decision.

The capacity zone was first proposed in 2011 by the New York Independent System Operator, which suggested designating a zone that makes energy produced in the lower part of the state more valuable as part of an effort to spur construction of new facilities in southeastern New York, which consumes a majority of the state’s energy.

Dutchess-based Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. and Iberdrola USA subsidiaries New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and Rochester Gas & Electric Corp. said in court filings that the zone cost an additional $80 million in its first five months, most of which was paid by consumers and not the electric companies.

The System Operator, though, said the zone has been successful early on in encouraging investment into infrastructure. It had

previously predicted that the state’s electric system would not be able to meet demands by 2019, but it noted this month an improvement in the reliability of the grid.

Newburgh’s Danskammer station was scheduled to close, but after the new zone went into effect the new owner of the facility, Danskammer Energy LLC, announced it would refurbish the building and return it to service. Several other companies are planning to return generating stations to service in the region.

Arthur “Jerry” Kremer is the chairman of New York Affordable Reliability Electricity Alliance, an industry advocacy group representing more than 150 businesses.

He said it was clear the reliability of the grid was improving as a result of the Hudson Valley zone attracting new sources of power.

“At his time of the year when there is frigid cold and storms we are reminded that keeping the lights and power on is not just a matter of convenience but public safety,” he said.

The Hudson Valley capacity zone is one of four in the state. It affects some, but not all, customers of Central Hudson, Consolidated Edison, NYSEG and the Orange and Rockland power company.

SPECIAL YEAR-END REVIEW: REPORT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Pace Law dean has positive outlook on legal education Yassky: Legal training still ‘highly valuable’ in changing marketplace

BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

A

fter taking the reins in April as dean of Pace Law School in White Plains, David Yassky is bullish on the future of legal education.

“Law school and legal education remains highly valuable,” Yassky told the Business Journal, “There was a recent paper several months ago that the expected increase in lifetime earnings owing to a law degree is roughly a million dollars — over the course of a career — which I think is about right.”

Written by Michael Simkovic and Frank McIntyre and published in the Journal of Legal Studies in June, the paper Yassky cited posits that holders of a law degree can expect a 60 percent median increase in monthly earnings and a 50 percent median increase in hourly wages over the course of their careers.

Yassky realizes recent years haven’t been kind to the perception of legal education, with former students suing New York Law School claiming they were misled about

“THERE ARE A LOT OF JOBS IN ADDITION TO TRADITIONAL LAW FIRM ASSOCIATE JOBS, WHERE LEGAL SKILLS AND LAW SCHOOL TRAINING ARE IMMENSELY VALUABLE.” — David Yassky

employment prospects (the students lost the suit), and a severe drop in legal employment due to the recent recession and a changing marketplace for legal services. The Wall Street Journal in October reported there were about 46,000 fewer jobs in the sector compared with peak levels in 2007, before the recession.

A law degree, he said, is “a material increase in earning power; it’s not the tens of

Pace Law School Dean David Yassky, right, addresses a group at the school.

millions that some people thought it might be, but it’s still a big number.”

And as the marketplace adapts to the new paradigms, Yassky, who earned a bachelor’s degree at Princeton University and a law degree at Yale, believes that more jobs will be open to law school graduates who avail themselves of opportunities. And though those jobs may not be the traditional associate attorney position at a law firm, Yassky said he thinks they will be lucrative.

“There are a lot of jobs in addition to traditional law firm associate jobs, where legal skills and law school training are immensely valuable,” Yassky said. “Jobs like compliance at banks or pharmaceutical companies, jobs at big accounting firms that deal with corporate transactions or investigations, those are jobs that call for traditional legal skills even though they don’t have ‘lawyer’ in the name of the job.”

Part of Yassky’s challenge in leading Pace Law School will be to adapt the education that his students receive to the needs of the profession. When it comes to pedagogy, the

perception is largely shaped by reality — that a professor stands at the front of the room, questioning students incisively on the meaning of the cases they were assigned to read.

“You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds,” said professor Charles W. Kingsfield Jr., a character in the 1973 film “The Paper Chase,” depicting a student’s first year at Harvard Law School. “You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave thinking like a lawyer.”

Having previously taught constitutional law at Brooklyn Law School and New York University, Yassky said he believes there is still a place for such pedagogy.

“I actually remain a great fan of Kingsfield-style, Socratic-method law teaching,” Yassky said. “That’s the foundation — the core foundation of a legal education is torts, contracts, property and those subjects taught in the traditional way. But we have to supplement it more by teaching how lawyers use those intellectual tools.”

Among those methods to teach law students the practice of law, rather than just

the intellectual theory behind it, is to engage them in supervised practice experiences while they are still students. In his first year, Yassky has introduced two new supervised externship programs, one in family law and one in real estate practice.

“I would like to, five years from now, see that every PLS graduate has done a significant practice experience while in law school, that every Pace Law School graduate comes out with a set of skills that is suited to a particular job, be it a criminal defense laywer, real estate lawyer, family and matrimonial lawyer,” Yassky said.

The new dean said he believes legal education will weather the storm created by the recession.

“It’s absolutely true that people got out of law school in 2010, 2011, were getting out of law school into the worst job market for lawyers, certainly, since the Depression,” Yassky said. “So that has had a deep impact on how people think about law school. The good news is we’re coming out of that period, slowly but surely.”

QPRTs can be ticking tax bombs

T

he home is often a family’s largest asset. Since many parents wish to pass property to the next generation, families have sought ways to protect the family home from taxes and creditors. In the past, many financial planners recommended parents use qualified personal residence trusts, or QPRTs, to transfer the home from the parents to the children. However, due to recent changes in tax law, the vast majority of estates are now, or will soon be, fully exempt from federal and state estate taxes.

Unfortunately, for families with QPRTs, the tax burden may have risen.

Two significant changes have occurred over the past decade that may have turned many QPRTs into ticking tax bombs. First, the individual federal estate tax exemption has increased by more than 250 percent, reaching $5,430,000 effective Jan. 1. Second, the top marginal capital gains tax rate has increased by nearly 60 percent over this same period. The effect of these changes means that a primary benefit of the QPRT (paying capital gains tax in exchange for avoiding estate tax) has disappeared.

For these reasons, many children whose parents established QPRTs are discovering they will owe significant income taxes on the sale of the family home with little or no

TWO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST DECADE THAT MAY HAVE TURNED MANY QPRTS INTO TICKING TAX BOMBS.

estate tax savings. Had the parents kept the family home, the children would not have paid any federal or state estate taxes, and the income tax basis in the home would have been adjusted (“stepped up”) to fair

market value when the parents died. In this scenario, the sale of the home would have been free of income taxes for the children.

Unfortunately, because the QPRT removed the home from the parents’ estates, the children will not receive a stepped-up basis.

Therefore, the children will likely have to pay significant capital gains taxes when the home is sold.

Ironically, the solution to this problem may be found in Tax Court cases previously favoring the IRS. In the past, when federal estate tax rates were high and the estate tax exemption was low, the IRS worked diligently to limit the effectiveness of QPRTs. The IRS routinely argued that the taxpayer’s QPRT was not bona fide, pointing to the parents treating the home as their own even though the children had technically taken title through the QPRT. The argument made by the IRS was simple – the QPRT was not valid for federal estate tax purposes because the family members behaved as if the QPRT did not exist. Therefore, the IRS argued that the home should be included for estate tax purposes in the estates of the parents.

The truth is that the IRS is correct.

Parents routinely fail to follow the strict formalities that are required to make a QPRT effective. For example, parents often continue to occupy and use the home, but fail to sign a lease or to pay market rent at the end of the QPRT. In addition, parents often continue to pay for the expenses of the home themselves, rather than paying through the QPRT. Finally, parents and children often agree that the home will not be sold while the parents are living there. Under these circumstances, it appears that notwithstanding the QPRT, when the parents die, the value of the home should be included in the parents’ estates, and therefore the children should receive the stepped-up basis in the home for capital gains tax purposes when the home is sold. In a holiday season filled with goodwill toward others, isn’t it nice to agree with the IRS?

Citrin Cooperman: 35 years of client, staff, community focus

BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

B

ack in the 1970s, Citrin Cooperman and Co. started with two young accountants who had two rock bands as their clients.

Still in their 20s, the firm’s founders, Niles Citrin and Joel Cooperman, started a small firm based on the trust the bands placed in their skills as accountants. Citrin Cooperman is now celebrating its 35th anniversary in business with six offices, 140 partners and 600 employees, having grown and expanded by nurturing a culture that emphasizes positive interaction with clients, having a well-trained staff that is encouraged to think entrepreneurially and stressing community involvement.

“Going out and trying to build a book of business in your 20s is quite a challenge,” Citrin Cooperman managing partner Alan Badey told the Business Journal in an interview at the firm’s Westchester Avenue office in White Plains. The partners realized for most bands, the glory is fleeting, and they needed to grow the firm from being accountants for rock stars to accounting rock stars.

“When you go out and talk to a complicated manufacturer or a complicated publisher or health care organization or real estate organization,” Badey said, “they’re not going to go to a six- or eight-person firm that has 24-year-olds running it.”

So, looking to bring in what Badey called “gray hair,” they looked for accounting practices to merge into the firm and thus expand the business, and by the late 1990s, the firm’s growth was reaching new heights.

Badey said that as business has gotten more complex, so has accounting, with more and more accountants directing their practices toward distinct specializations.

“The days of the general accountant are slowly going away because of the complications both in the tax law and the accounting principles,” Badey said, noting that computers also simplify a lot of the work that accountants used to perform in decades past.

“We’ve got a lot of great people that are producing great new relationships all the time,” Badey said. “And we’ve also acquired a lot of firms over the years, and that brings in technical expertise.”

Bringing in technical expertise has enabled Citrin Cooperman to build a staff that can serve a client base that values the ability the firm has to provide for their accounting needs.

“The firm is nothing without our staff,” said Badey, who told the Business Journal that the firm extensively trains its employees not just in accounting, but works on developing their so-called “soft skills,” giving them

the skills to succeed. “The most important thing we do is service our clients, but equal to that, it’s giving our staff the capabilities to continue to be successful and the third is our commitment to the community.”

Above and beyond the firm’s commitment to its employees and clients, Badey said that Citrin Cooperman’s active engagement in all of the communities surrounding the firm’s six offices is a mainstay of the firm’s culture.

In Westchester County, Citrin Cooperman is a co-founder, along with the Business Journal’s corporate owner, Westfair Communications, of the Doctors of Distinction Awards and the Above the Bar Awards, honoring the county’s top doctors and attorneys.

Since 2012, the firm has also shut down 0630 ad_Layout 1 8/25/14 2:06 PM Page 1

for one day each year, with employees using the day to volunteer with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Stamford, Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Feed the Children, Habitat for Humanity and Ronald McDonald House of New York.

“A lot of our partners and staff are

involved in organizations, whether they be professional organizations, business organization or charitable organizations, it’s very important to have that interaction,” Badey said. “At the end of the day, this firm is part of the community, and we rely on the community, and hopefully, they’ll rely on us.”
