GREENWICH'S SYMBRIDGE TO DEBUT CRYPTO-FOCUSED TRADING PLATFORM BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.coma

he first metal used by humans was probably gold — around 40,000 B.C., give or take a few years — which means it was probably also among the very first things to ever be traded. Fast-forward to the 21st century and cryptocurrency is a thoroughly modern invention built on the infrastructure of the digital age, designed to live on

the internet without a physical component. According to Alexander Kravets, both gold and cryptocurrency will be equally at home on Symbridge, a new Greenwichbased digital asset exchange, when it launches in March. In anticipation of that launch, Symbridge sought and received FINRA certification to operate an Alternative Trading System. The goal is to create a disruptive combination of appeal to traditional

traders and leveraging of the latest in blockchain technology. “What we’re doing is essentially creating a new paradigm for trading spot crypto and tokenized assets,” Kravets said. “That really hasn’t been done before in an institutional setting with a full suite of licensing. “We’re going to launch with a basic crypto pair and a tokenized metal pair,” he added. “It’s the first time when a spot » GREENWICH'S SYMBRIDGE

Robert Martin's Westchester Executive Park in Elmsford. BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

obert Martin Company, headquartered in Elmsford, has recapitalized its industrial real estate portfolio consisting of 45 properties and entered into a new joint venture with affiliates of Dune Real Estate Partners LLP, a New York City-based real estate investment firm. In an interview with the Business Journal, Robert Martin's CEO Tim Jones made it clear that the recapitalization and involvement of Dune does not diminish Robert Martin's interest and belief in Westchester and Connecticut real estate. “The recapitalization just basically means that there are new capital partners. From an operating standpoint, Robert Martin continues to be the operating partner and group that is responsible for the properties on a day-to-day basis,“ Jones said. “From a market and tenant standpoint things really don't change but any entity like this very frequently has significant capital partners beyond the operating partner. Sometimes it's just lenders, sometimes it's lenders and equity partners, sometimes it's just equity partners. In this case it's a lender and equity partner, which is the same structure that we had prior to this.” The professional services

firm JLL ( Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated) was involved in the transaction, including procuring the $455 million loan with Bank of America. Jones said the transaction also involved equity that he characterized as being “fairly significant” on top of the loan, while electing not to disclose the amount. “There was a $455 million mortgage, which was recorded, but we actually didn't borrow $455 million,” Jones said. “It made sense for us to record a mortgage in excess of the actual money we borrowed because if certain things happen in the future or we need capital for certain things it made sense to record it early even though when you record a mortgage you pay a mortgage tax.” Jones said that Robert Martin's tenants will not notice any differences as a result of the recapitalization except that the lockbox address to which they'll send their rents will change. “In the real estate business periodically you have to replace your capital,” Jones said. “This was a good moment for us to do that particularly the way the capital markets view industrial properties today.” Jones said that agreement on the recapitalization was reached in the fall and since that time the market for industrial/flex space in which Robert Martin specializes FCBJ

has become stronger. “The market is very strong for industrial. We have some space that also does very well with life sciences technology," Jones said. “We have a little bit of office in this portfolio. The office market is not as strong as the other two and not as well-perceived as the other two from an investment standpoint. Coming out of Covid, hopefully we'll see a change there.” Jones said that one of the concerns they had regarding timing of a recapitalization was what the Federal Reserve might do with respect to raising interest rates. “I think the bad news about interest rates going up is that it will affect returns and with longer leases you can only get your returns to change when the leases go up,” Jones said. “Our industrial space is unbelievably strong. We're running out of industrial space; we don't have much space left. We would definitely be interested in any opportunity for expansion of that product.” Jones suggested that long-term, the health of the Westchester and Fairfield markets still is dependent on what happens in New York City. “One of the things we've benefited from is people leaving the city and coming into the suburbs because of Covid but long-term the city needs to be strong too,” Jones said. “We have to continue to work on the cost of living in Westchester

I mean housing that a very large percentage of the population can afford, not just the low end or high end.” Robert Martin's entire portfolio includes more than six million square feet of properties and 200 acres of developable land. Its Connecticut properties include Stamford Executive Park, 129 Worthington Ridge in Berlin and The Glenbrook in Rocky Hill. It also owns properties in Florida. “This is almost three million square feet and we've just invested a chunk of money in it. We have another couple of million feet in Westchester beyond this,” Jones said. “We'll continue to do business in Westchester without question. It's our home base.”

Judge loses patience with Ossining penny stock fraudster Edward Bronson BY BILL HELZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ssining penny stock fraudster Edward Bronson has been ordered to turn himself in to prison officials after repeatedly flouting a judge's directives to begin paying off $12.3 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "Mr. Bronson has been repeatedly warned that failure to comply with the court's disgorgement orders would result in a finding of contempt and imprisonment," U.S. District Judge Kenneth M. Karas ruled on Jan. 27. "It is clear that Mr. Bronson has once again failed to make a timely payment. Accordingly, he is to report to the U.S. Marshals Service in the White Plains courthouse by no later than 12 noon so he can be designated to a prison." The SEC sued Bronson and his companies in 2012 for selling unregistered securities and withholding financial information

from investors. He was found guilty in 2017 and ordered to pay the SEC $12.3 million. But for three years he avoided paying the judgment. A year ago, Karas found Bronson in contempt of court and ordered him to negotiate a payment plan with the SEC. Bronson agreed last July to pay $1.1 million a month. The first payment was late, according to court records, and then he stopped paying and claimed he lacked the financial capacity to satisfy the

obligation. The SEC has argued that Bronson has concealed income and that there is evidence that he has spent exorbitantly on personal expenses. Karas ordered Bronson last November to surrender his passport, make a $500,000 payment by Dec. 23 and resume the $1.1 million monthly payments on Jan. 13. Bronson paid the $500,000, according to court records. But by Jan. 13 he had paid only $300,000 toward the $1.1 million obligation.

His attorney, Ryan O'Quinn, asked Karas on Jan. 14 for more time. Bronson expected to receive funds to make the remaining $800,000 payment by Jan. 21, O'Quinn said in a letter to the judge, and because Bronson "is working in good faith to make this payment, incarceration is not necessary." The SEC responded that Bronson had provided no proof that he could pay the $800,000. Karas granted a few more days but stated the consequences if

Bronson failed. Bronson had "forfeited the 'good faith' defense long ago," Karas said in an order, "based on his failure to honor his promise to make prior payments and based on his suspect testimony at the last hearing. So, he either makes the remainder of the payment he currently owes by noon on Jan. 19, 2022, or he will go to prison. "Moreover, he is NOT to miss a single payment by a single day going forward, or he will go to prison." Bronson's attorney notified the SEC on Jan. 19 that two payments had been made: $100,000 and $700,000. But on Jan. 27 the SEC discovered that the $700,000 payment was rejected for insufficient funds. The SEC asked Karas to imprison Bronson, and this time the judge ordered him to surrender. Bronson surrendered at 9 a.m. Jan. 28, and O'Quinn filed a notice of payment for the entire $1.1 million.

Amazon to locate in warehouse being built in Hawthorne BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

n April of last year, when the Business Journal reported on the planned construction of a $99 million, 153,062-square-foot warehouse at 211 Saw Mill River Road in Hawthorne, the focus was on the construction project, not on possible future tenant. Now that construction is underway at the site, the focus has shifted and dramatically to the planned tenant: internet and retailing giant Amazon. Mount Pleasant Town Supervisor and chairman of the town’s Industrial Development Agency Carl Fulgenzi on Feb. 1 told the Business Journal it is his understanding from the developer that Amazon will be the tenant. An Amazon spokesperson, Verena Gross, told the Business Journal, “While this prospective project is still in the early stages, we are excited about the potential to bring new jobs with great pay and benefits to the area and to continue our investment in the state of New York.” “It’s a major investment in the town of Mount Pleasant, a lot of

There will be a traffic light there with a turning lane, which will help that area.” Fulgenzi described the warehouse and Amazon’s anticipated operations at the site to be a higher use than was the Green Valley Nursery, which operated at the

location for many years. He noted that the nursery had trucks going in and out of the property and that when the warehouse project was going through the approval process a traffic study was done to determine the level of traffic that could be anticipated from a warehousing and distribution operation at the site. The Business Journal report-

ed that the developer was USRE Hawthorne LLC of Delaware. The developer said the project was expected to create 100 fulltime and part-time jobs. The site covers 10.475 acres and will provide room for 181 passenger car parking spaces, 597 van parking spaces, 12 truck loading spaces and 62 van loading spaces at grade.

The building’s interior would have 136,214 square feet of warehouse space and 16,848 square feet of office space. The developer did not request a PILOT agreement (payment in lieu of taxes) to save on property taxes, nor were mortgage recording tax exemptions sought. It was estimated that property taxes would amount to $1.5 million annually. Fulgenzi said he did not know what Amazon’s operating hours would be at the facility but believed that larger delivery trucks would come in at night and smaller vans would go in and out for deliveries during the daytime hours. “Route 9A has been in need of a focus for a long time and this brings more attention to it by adding a traffic light and a turning lane that will help that particular spot,” Fulgenzi said. “Right now people need to have patience while they’re doing the construction.” He said having Amazon in town will create local jobs. “It’s not just people coming from outside the area to get a job. It’s offering a lot of jobs to our residents also,” Fulgenzi said.

BJ’s store coming to Greenburgh BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

BJ’s Wholesale Club outlet will be coming to Greenburgh, according to Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. Feiner says that the town recently was notified that BJ’s would be moving into the space that formerly had been occupied by Kmart at the Crossroads Shopping Center on Route 119. The Kmart closed last year after having been at the shopping center for about three decades. “I am pleased that Crossroads Shopping Center is bringing this use to the center and am additionally encouraged by several other vacancies that have been filled or will soon be filled in the center,” Feiner said. “New additions include the PGA Tour Superstore, and soon to be new additions Phenix Salon Suites and Duck Donuts. The BJ’s store is anticipated to start construction soon with

a targeted opening at the end of this year.” Feiner pointed out that the opening of BJ’s will bring back to the center a significant source for food products, which has been missing since Waldbaum's closed in 2012. “Many residents of Fairview who live near the Crossroads Shopping Center have asked in the past for a store that will sell groceries at this location,” Feiner said, adding that the BJ’s “will help our residents save money on groceries and other items.” To regularly shop at BJ’s, a club membership is required. Memberships begin at $55 a year with memberships offering additional benefits such as 2% cash back on purchases priced at $110 a year. BJ’s is based in Westborough, Massachusetts, currently operates 225 locations in 17 states in the eastern U.S. It reports having six million members and annual sales of $15.1 billion.

Monoclonal antibodies, effective tool against Covid, in short supply BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.coma

or those who have not been vaccinated or who have health conditions, which make it difficult to fight off infections even after full vaccination, monoclonal antibodies offer one of the most effective treatments of Covid-19. Unfortunately, the omicron variant, now the dominant strain across much of the U.S., is less responsive to two of the three versions of the treatment currently available. According to LeeAnn Miller, vice president and chief pharmacy officer for Yale New Haven Health System, there are three companies currently producing the treatment for the U.S. market: Regeneron (which provided the treatment used by President Donald Trump during his 2020 infection), Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline in collaboration with VIR Biotech. While all three were effective against other strains, only the GlaxoSmithKline has proven effective at lessening the severity of omicron. “That really reduced our supply chain from three manufacturers with three products to one manufacturer with one product. And the manufacturer simply did not have enough availability at the time to keep up with the rapid surge that we’ve seen with this variant,” Miller said. Within the Yale New Haven Health System — which includes Bridgeport Hospital and Greenwich Hospital — Miller said that typically 100 vials of the GlaxoSmithKline treatment are delivered each week, which allows for the treatment of 100 patients each week. The current surge of hospitalizations means that the demand has also spiked, meaning even Yale New Haven Health has only half the supply needed to treat those infected with what Miller stressed is still a serious and dangerous virus. “We are treating upwards of 700 patients a month, close to 200 a week,” Miller said. “So, we are at least 50% there.” Monoclonal antibodies, which use artificial means to repeatedly clone the antibodies which a natural immune system produces in response to a virus, provide additional protection against viral illness by supple-

menting naturally produced antibodies. Unlike vaccines, which directly stimulate the body’s production, monoclonal antibodies are administered as an infusion via IV after a person has been infected and help reduce the severity of symptoms. Unfortunately, just as different viruses require different antibodies, different mutations of Covid are fought more or less effectively by antibodies produced in either manner. “It’s not a replacement to vaccination,” Miller emphasized, “but it really is an important tool to help fight this disease. Especially those who remain high risk even though they have been vaccinated.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently withdrew its authorization for the less-effective treatments, though they are still in production since other Covid variants, which have yet to emerge may be more responsive to those treatments. The Connecticut Department of Public Health issued a statement supporting that conclusion as well on Jan. 27. “I know that GSK has reported that they have dramatically increased production,” Miller noted of efforts to help close the gap between demand and supply. “And I believe that the U.S. has signed an agreement to purchase more units of that drug both in this quarter as well as next quarter so that should certainly be helpful. “But I think we need two things: One is continued study to produce even more of these types of therapeutics that hopefully will have pan-sensitivity to all the different variants. The second is to continue the campaign to get more people vaccinated because that’s going to be the primary defense.” Miller hoped to see expanded availability of monoclonal antibody treatments outside of hospitals once supplies improve. “That would just improve access, especially to patients who are home-bound and can’t get out of their house to get therapy,” she said. “We could provide this through home infusion therapy programs and skilled nursing facilities. That would help overcome some of the challenges to reaching those vulnerable populations.”

Rendering of proposed building at 39 Westmoreland Ave., White Plains. right now and we have just shy of a dozen other communities in our pipeline for development throughout the Northeast.” Tepper said the company has been looking to develop in White Plains for some time. “The opportunity at 39 Westmoreland is very exciting to us as it is a unique project to redevelop a property in a more industrial section of the city and to develop something that is a little bit different than many of the high-rise buildings that have been developed in the city,” Tepper said. The site currently is owned by Benerofe Properties and Mill Creek is the contract vendee to purchase it. Benerofe describes the building as an 86,000-square-foot loft warehouse that it purchased in 1979. Benerofe said it is occupied by a variety of tenants. There would be 191 residential units, according to Null, and structured parking with 300 spaces. Null said that under zoning only 272 spaces are required. He said that 12% of the units would be in the affordable category as required by the city. He noted that the Metro-North train tracks run behind the property and are at a lower level. “There will be 66 studios, 88 one-bedrooms and 37 two-bedroom units,” Null said. He said the building would be 85 feet in height in compliance with zoning but, just like another project the city approved on Bloomingdale Road, the building will

Null said that the reason the building gets counted as having eight stories is because of three levels of parking at the rear of the property. Null said that the developer hopes to obtain the variance for eight stories from the city's Zoning Board and would be able to come back to the council in two or three months with detailed site plans. Architect Chris Boone, principal of multifamily development at Lessard Design in Vienna, Virginia, said, “The building is WCBJ

surrounded by commercial and industrial uses. We are proposing to preserve the existing facades on the north and east sides of the building. The closest part of the building to Westmoreland currently is the existing facade that we are preserving that wraps around the corner to the very small walkable alley behind Honda (car company) and ourselves.” Boone said that when designing the site they tried to push the new part of the building back as far as they could toward the train tracks in order to make room

for a 4,500-square-foot pocket park on Westmoreland that would be available for residents and others in the area. “By doing this we are giving ourselves and the neighborhood an opportunity to really activate this space,” Boone said. “We would be having access from amenities into this green space. The type of features that we were imagining out there would be a combination of passive and active uses. We want to be able to have turf and some hardscape in there so that kids have the capability to play yet we want to be able to have places to sit along planters, in benches, so that people could sit and eat their lunch and relax.” Boone said that the parts of the warehouse that would be preserved need some work such as repairs of cracks and replacing of windows. Fireproofed wood and concrete would be the primary structural materials for the new construction. In response to a question from Council Member Nadine Hunt-Robinson about energy efficient elements in the plan, Null said the building would use LED lighting and Energy Star appliances, would have vehicular charging stations and would seek to comply with the city's sustainability checklist. When Mayor Tom Roach asked whether the building would be all-electric, Tepper said that Mill Creek has developed buildings that are all-electric and buildings that also use gas. He suggested that if the city preferred all-electric, it could be designed that way.

Feds say insiders stole millions of dollars from White Plains company BY BILL HELZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

wo insiders at a White Plains company used their positions to steal millions of dollars, according to a federal grand jury indictment issued on Jan. 11. Joseph Maharaj, of Goldens Bridge, and Shawn Rains, of Ridgefield, Connecticut, were indicted on conspiracy, mail fraud and money laundering charges. Maharaj was arrested on Jan. 13 and pleaded not guilty to all charges at an arraignment before Magistrate Judge Judith C. McCarthy in U.S. District Court, White Plains. "My client is taking these allegations very seriously," Maharaj's attorney, Stephen J. Riebling Jr, said in a brief telephone interview, "and he is asserting his innocence ... and intends to strenuously fight these allegations throughout the process." Rains has not been arrested or arraigned. From 2009 to 2017, Maharaj, Rains, "and others known and unknown," the indictment states, "participated in a scheme to defraud a company in White Plains."

The company is not identified, but the men's LinkedIn profiles show that they worked for OrthoNet, a White Plains health care benefits management company. Maharaj was director of claims operations until 2017 and Rains was a vice president, according to the profiles. Maharaj boasted that he had achieved $1 billion in savings for clients since the inception of the FCR (focused claims review) program. According to the indictment, unnamed co-conspirators owned or controlled companies that submitted invoices for services that had not been performed or were done by employees of the White Plains company. Then Maharaj and Rains allegedly used their positions to approve and pay the invoices, from which they and their co-conspirators "received ... millions of dollars." Cash withdrawals, checks, blank checks, deposits and wire transfers were made to and from bank accounts controlled by Maharaj, Rains and one co-conspirator, the indictment states, "to conceal and disguise the nature, location, source, ownership and control of the proceeds of ... unlawful activity." Maharaj posted a $250,000 appear-

ance bond with federal court, secured by his house on Waccabuc Road in Goldens Bridge. Connecticut business records list four limited liability corporations formed this year at Maharaj's Westchester address:

Prosper IV offers wellness services at new Rye location BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

f you’ve ever been to the hospital, you’ve likely had an intravenous (IV) drip administered by a nurse. A growing trend in the health and wellness industry, however, is getting IV hydration treatments at specialized spas and clinics to combat anything from a common cold to jet lag to a hangover, or even just to provide a little extra energy boost. Consumers in Westchester looking for an option for this service now have a new one with Prosper IV, which has just opened in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center, in the space formerly occupied by Ridge Barber Shop. It is the business's second location in the county. Prosper IV joins only a handful of businesses exclusively offering this type of service in Westchester. Founder and CEO Christina Broccoli, originally from the West Coast, saw how popular the IV treatments have been in that part of the country “I'm from California and vitamin IV drips have been around for a very long time — I didn't create anything new,” she said. “They are much more prevalent on the West Coast. There's a lot in Las Vegas, and a lot of people in Las Vegas liken them to, you know, a hangover drip.” Broccoli had spent time in New York as a college athlete and decided to return to the state with her family about six years ago. It wasn’t until she got sick that she realized how much more the Northeast was missing these beneficial treatments. “About three years into it, I got mono and I was going to an integrative doctor, because

A nurse administers an IV drip treatment to a patient. it had just sidelined me,” Broccoli said. “And obviously with small kids and a job, you can't really take a break. I did hydration and vitamin C drips, and they prescribed it twice a week for six weeks. I did it for three weeks and felt like I did when I was like in the best athletic shape of my life. “The problem for me was they were really, really expensive. They were $450 every time I did one, so I just couldn't keep up with that price. So then I was going into the city and getting them done, where they're a lot more reasonable at shops like mine. And I was like, this is ridiculous that I have to take the train into the city to get this when they're so readily available, you know, where we came from. So, I did a bunch of research and found some really great nurses and a medical director and I opened the store.” Broccoli intended to open Prosper IV’s Yonkers location, the company’s first, in

March of 2020. “I signed a lease on March 1st, 2020, then on March 11th, obviously everything closed,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, what did I do with my career?’ Fortunately it's worked out really well though.” So well, in fact, that the Rye location is Prosper IV’s fourth, with one location on Park Avenue in Manhattan and one location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, having opened since then. “What's been fun for me is educating people, because you don't have to be hungover to get one of these drips and feel better,” Broccoli said. “And to be honest, in Westchester County and in New York, those are not our best sellers. Our best sellers are the wellness drips.” Aside from the classic hangover treatment, Prosper IV offers a wide variety of different kinds of IV drip bags, including those targeted toward anti-aging, brain power, immunity, inflammation, hydration, metabolism boosts, athletic recovery and performance, PMS and menopause symptom relief, migraine relief and skin health. Customers can opt for add-ins like vitamins B12, C or D, nausea medication Zofran, pain reliever Toradol or biotin, among others. Even if patients are not targeting a specific problem, treatments can give that extra boost for a feeling of well-being. According to the business, the whole process takes about an hour and patients usually continue to feel the effects of hydration for three to four days. The vitamins can stay in your system for up to two weeks. “They make you feel great,” Broccoli said.

“Just by design, everybody is dehydrated and you don't really know that until you receive a service like this,” she said. “There's a reason that when you go in to the ER, anytime they admit you, the first thing they do is give you a liter bag full of saline, because, it’s what our bodies need … People come in not necessarily because they are actively vomiting or have the flu, or are in severe medical distress, but they come in because they have arthritis or they have migraines or they're athletes that need to recover quicker. But all in all, it gives you a lot more energy. You sleep a lot better and then you're hydrated, and I think we all know, when you're dehydrated, the headaches are a real thing.” Broccoli noted that all IV treatments at Prosper are administered by experienced registered nurses, to whom she attributes much of the business’s success. “What makes us really special, and what I'm really proud of is our nursing staff,” she said. “We hire only very experienced ICU, ER or infusion nurses as well as labor and delivery. So these are nurses that, you know, their bedside manner is incredible.” Prices start at approximately $99 for just a saline drip, with costs added for drips with vitamins and boosters. Broccoli estimates the average cost at about $240 per treatment, although memberships are also available for roughly $170 per month. The company also offers concierge services for a nurse to come directly to a patient or group. While the Yonkers location is open seven days a week, the Rye location is starting off with a Monday through Friday schedule, to be expanded once the business settles in more to the new space.

eta Technologies, a health care payment technologies and software company based in Valhalla, along with subsidiary MediPay Compliance Consultants, launched its new Myriad Health electronic health record and medical billing software — its flagship product — this past month. While Myriad is new to the market, and Meta — no relation to the similarly named conglomerate formerly known as Facebook — has only been around the past couple years, its work builds on years of experience in the health care payment industry, where founder and president Jeremy Shiner began building his experience from a young age. His father, Frank Shiner, was the founder of Retriever Medical Dental Payments, known now as Rectangle Health, also headquartered nearby in Valhalla and which Meta Technologies still works with as a partner. “I've had a lot of experience just from

growing up around the industry,” Shiner said. “I was blessed to have my father to look up to as a mentor, and he's been retired for years now from the business, but I still consult him as a mentor. He always did things the right way, always took care of his clients and his employees, so I was able to benefit from watching that.” Shiner said his father never had plans to be in the business. He had been focusing on being an actor and was working on the side at a payment processing company, and eventually became the top sales representative. After that, a partner at the company approached him to ask if he wanted to run it. He noticed that doctors' offices had unique payment needs, and began offering the health care provider specific services that became Retriever. Shiner joined the team at Retriever after college, working on its sales team for four years and working with over 1,000 clients, and gained a spot on the company’s advisory board. He then launched his own venture, conWCBJ

tinuing similar work with Meta and MediPay. While offering these services, Shiner and his team noticed the rising costs of overhead for private-practice health care providers, from malpractice lawsuits and insurance to rising costs of medical school and office space rent or prices. “What’s ending up happening is that's why we see a lot of these private practices selling to huge conglomerates and hospital networks,” Shiner said. “I think they do a good job and I have nothing against them, but in my personal opinion, you know, being around health care my whole life, I really valued that patient-doctor relationship and that solidarity that they have in a private practice, where the doctor has a direct responsibility to the patient and they have a relationship and they choose which medications that they use based on efficacy, which medical equipment, which surgical equipment and the list goes on and on. “When you get corporate medicine that goes away. Health care gets made more so with the bottom line in mind, rather than

necessarily (based on) health care and doctors become employees on a salary. It definitely caps what they can earn, which in turn means that in the next five to 10 years, we'll see less of our brightest and best becoming doctors, which is not good for the patients. And of course, I don't believe it's good for the doctors, or good for health care as a whole. And we have enough problems with health care and with what's going on.” Shiner said Meta Technolgies and MediPay’s goal is to help reduce overhead and startup costs for doctors with integrated payment processing. Now, the company’s electronic health record and billing software, Myriad Health, is doing just that, making in-office processes more efficient and ensuring payment at the time of treatment. Shiner said its development was informed by input from providers compiled over the past five years on their levels of satisfaction with their current vendors and the needs that still remained.

Boxing promoter Joseph DeGuardia accused of sexual harassment BY BILL HELZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

n amateur fighter who once said boxing is her life has pitted herself against powerful prizefighting promoter Joseph M. DeGuardia. Georgene Zagarino accused DeGuardia and Star Boxing Inc. of gender discrimination, subjecting her to a hostile workplace and quid pro quo sexual harassment, in a complaint filed Jan. 18 in Westchester Supreme Court. DeGuardia did not respond to an email asking for his side of the story. DeGuardia, of Hartsdale, is the son of the late Joseph DeGuardia Sr., a prizefighter in the 1940s and 1950s and founder of the renowned Morris Park Boxing Club in the Bronx. DeGuardia Jr. won a Golden Gloves title in 1988 while attending law school, worked as an assistant prosecutor in the Bronx and founded Star Boxing in 1992. He moved the gym from the Bronx to Elmsford and then to Harrison. He has managed well-known prizefighters, such as former light heavyweight cham-

pion Antonio Tarver, and he promotes boxing matches. Zagarino is a member of the Fighting Zagarino Family, as an interviewer depicted her father, uncle, brothers, cousins and herself. "I love it," she said in the 2016 interview at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. "Boxing is home. The ring is home. I'm mesmerized by it all. Each day I find something I love about boxing." DeGuardia had hired her in 2015 as a part-time logistics intern, according to the complaint, working 10 to 14 hours a week plus weekends when boxing matches were staged, for which, she says, she was never paid. DeGuardia often made inappropriate comments, Zagarino claims. In 2018, for instance, he allegedly offered to take her for a ride on his motorcycle that would be their "dirty little secret." Her complaint rests largely on outsideof-the-ring sparring at a 2019 boxing event at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York, where in essence, she claims, DeGuardia tried to strike below the belt. DeGuardia asked Zagarino to pick up

Joseph DeGuardia credentials in his suite. But there were no credentials, according to the complaint, and he asked her to substitute that night as a ring girl — the provocatively dressed woman who steps into the ring between rounds to display a sign with the number for the following round. She says she tried on the outfits in a bathroom, changed back to her clothing, and told DeGuardia that she would not do the job. He became angry, according to the complaint, and pushed her against a wall. Using a kind of tying up technique, she placed her hands on his chest to create distance

FCBJ

between them and said he was a married man and his conduct was unacceptable. "DeGuardia stated that he planned on getting divorced," the complaint states, "to which Ms. Zagarino replied that she was engaged and had no interest in DeGuardia. "DeGuardia, however, would not take no for an answer and insisted that Ms. Zagarino cheat on her fiancé with him before getting married because she would eventually engage in infidelity during their marriage." Then, she claims, he placed his hands on her back and buttocks "and stated that he can keep a secret and wanted them to be 'dirty.'" She broke the clinch, according to the complaint, and demanded that he pay her for working the weekend. DeGuardia allegedly replied that he would pay her $700 if she woke up with him in the morning. She left the suite, the complaint states, finished working that evening and then left the hotel. Zagarino is asking the court to declare that DeGuardia and Star Boxing violated state human rights laws and to award her unspecified damages. She is represented by Manhattan attorney Nina A. Ovrutsky.

Norwalk's Brad Kerner: From 'Eco Dude' to entrepreneur BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.coma

t started with an Instagram page. Brad Kerner began the.eco.dude in December 2019 to document his efforts to live a more sustainable life. Kerner was making a serious attempt to reduce his carbon footprint and environmental impact, but the page was supposed to be primarily for fun. Covid-19 transformed his personal quest into a career. When the pandemic started, his 15-year tenure with the nonprofit Save the Children, which involved weeks of overseas travel every other month, came grinding to a halt. With travel impossible due to lockdowns and disruptions, Kerner found himself spending more time cutting plastic out of his consumption habits and posting his thoughts on the eco-friendly replacements to Instagram. Thousands of other people, also stuck at home and spending their lockdowns online took notice. His new account began attracting hundreds of new followers every month, and currently has more than 3,600. “I wouldn’t call myself an influencer yet,” Kerner said. “People who follow me are interested in what I have to say about going low waste, and I think it’s because I took a different spin. I found that most people

who care about domestic issues are women and going low waste in the home has always been a women’s space. I’ve been trying to flip the script on that a little bit by saying ‘Look, we’re in a global climate crisis. This has to be everyone’s responsibility.’” Kerner managed to go entirely plastic free over the course of 2020, and he found himself wanting to evangelize further. “After I was online being the Eco Dude and everyone started following me, I said, ‘maybe I could go to a local farmer’s market to spread the word,’” Kerner recalled. He set up a table with a simple sign reading “Ask Me How I Went Plastic Free,” which now adorns the wall of a shop that became his retail business Eco Evolution. Kerner said that people at the markets found it weird that he wasn’t selling anything, so he started bringing the products that enabled him to ditch plastic with him to demonstrate them and realized just how in demand they were. In the process he got to know the community of other merchants at farmers markets, who now make up the artist’s co-op that produces some of the bespoke items sold at Eco Evolution. Realizing that he could save other people the time he had spent researching and sourcing eco-friendly products, Kerner decided to enter a contest. WCBJ

“The landlord did a competition for retail entrepreneurs who never owned a retail store,” Kerner said. “Thirty people applied and I won.” Kerner became the new tenant at 135 Washington street, a prime storefront in the heart of south Norwalk with no rent for June or July. “It was great for a few reasons,” Kerner said of the location. “I studied the block and I noticed that the restaurants don’t open until three and there’s like 15 of them on the block, but they stay open very late. This is heavily a night street, particularly in summer.” Kerner built his day around the restaurants hours to maximize foot traffic during operating hours throughout the summer, and instituted more traditional winter hours when the cold weather set in. Still refining his plans, Kerner said he was committed to making the store work. He signed a five-year lease and has gone all-in on providing a store that serves the community. “I didn’t want to be a boutique,” Kerner said while showcasing the stores diverse offerings, “Which is what most retail lowwaste shops are. I didn’t want to offer just one deodorant, I wanted people to have choice. That’s expensive and more risk for me but I want it to feel more like a CVS.”

Kerner also applied strict rules to ensuring that nothing in the store is “greenwashed.” The vintage items are all sourced locally, and he has committed to ensuring 80% of his products are sourced from within an eight-hour drive. Some products that Kerner carries are not available on the East Coast, and he prides himself on discovering unexpected local businesses to work with. For instance, Eco-Evolution’s dog section features treats from Woofgang & Co., a nonprofit based in Fairfield centered around empowering adults with disabilities. Eco Evolution is also one of the few retail stores to sell Kengos, a plant-based shoe line produced by a Brooklyn-based company. Kerner is seeking to further integrate Eco Evolution into the community by serving coffee and pastries in a relaxed atmosphere in the back of the shop. “It’s going to be called the green room. Get it?” Kerner joked as he explained the plan to convert the space and install a coffee bar. “It’ll be the most eco-friendly coffee shop ever.” While Kerner has confidence in his business plan and ambitions, he admitted that he is a newcomer to the field of retail. “I’m looking for mentors,” he noted. “Put that in there.”

PLAY said that the cost of operating at Stewart Airport is significantly lower than other airports in New York, making it possible for PLAY to offer what it bills as the lowest fares between New York and Europe. Because of less air traffic at the airport, PLAY's aircraft will spend less time taxiing on the ground and in holding patterns, saving fuel, operating expenses and emission. PLAY says that its international flights to and from Stewart will greatly improve services in the area for residents FCBJ

of Hudson Valley. ”After we learned of the economic growth and the attractions in the area surrounding New York Stewart and the benefits the airport has, we did not hesitate and believe that this is a great opportunity,” said Birgir Jónsson, CEO of PLAY. “This decision enables us to offer the lowest prices on flights between New York and Europe as we get a good deal being the first airline operating international flights from the airport.

Retaining team members during the Great Resignation BY CHRISTOPHER PELS

ou’ve likely heard the terms the “Great Resignation” or the “Big Quit” to describe the incredible staffing challenges that we face across the nation. In the human resources field, we have been looking at many creative ways to recruit new team members to join our organizations however, equally salient has been the importance of focusing on staff retention. The following are some of the ideas circulating in the HR space and tips on how workplaces can retain staff during this trying time, including ones I’ve personally seen resonate within my company and think could be helpful to leaders trying to keep and grow their workforces during this tight labor market.

Consistency is Key When working with your team, make sure you’ve acknowledging their good work — consistently. A recent article from Harvard Business Review said that employees need six positive interactions for every one negative piece of feedback. It’s worth all of us thinking about what our ratio of positive to negative feedback is with the team members that work with us

on a daily basis. Often, a bit of encouraging input goes a long way towards improving overall staff morale and their feeling of belonging. Managing Management Outside of focusing on the team member, it’s important that management have the right training and philosophy behind them. Most often, the reason employees leave a position is how they feel about their boss, so ensuring that managers have proper training on policy and procedure and are clear about the organization’s philosophies around leadership goes a long way towards keeping valuable team members from looking elsewhere. Also, it is key to speak up when staffing shortages put undue strain on the existing team so that plans can be made to hire or additional support can be put in place until the right candidates can come on board. Focus on Personal Wellness In our current landscape, the team members' wellness, both physical and mental, should be high priorities when it comes to retention. A company team needs to know that management understands that there is nothing normal about the time WCBJ

we’re living in right now. It’s also important that team members know they can take time off as they need to maintain their overall well-being, along with emphasizing the importance of finding an outlet outside of work to manage work-life-balance. Compensate Competitively Whether ramping up, filling vacant spots or keeping star employees around, a good leader should reexamine salaries and industry benchmarks to make sure they hit the mark. Look beyond just dollars in a check and ensure benefits plans are progressive to keep pace with the world we’re in now. For instance, our organization has a compassionate leave program, where employees can donate unused time off to a colleague in need. While that benefit has been around for more than a decade now, it became especially relevant during the pandemic. Make Way for Individuality When you join a company, you become part of a “we” environment. Even though there’s a group dynamic, it’s important to honor the unique contributions of people when it comes to culture, ethnicity, race,

sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, languages spoken, color, religion, sexual orientation and beliefs. It also means your company will have the advantage of choosing from the widest, most diverse talent pool possible and, in a time like this, that is something every employer can benefit from. It's All About Connection Many argue that we’re not seeing the Great Resignation, but rather the Great Realignment. The importance of employees’ connection to the mission of the work they do taking more precedence than ever when choosing a job. Through the last two years of intermittent sequestering, people across the globe have ref lected on their own lives and asked important questions about how they want to spend their time. Every employer has a newfound opportunity to draw a connection between their organization’s values and mission to those of the team members that work with them. Christopher Pels is vice president for human resources, risk management and organizational development at Family Services Inc. in Poughkeepsie.

Lamont proposes $336 million in tax cuts BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.coma

ov. Ned Lamont has proposed four major changes to the state tax code that would result in $336 million in

tax cuts. Speaking at a Tuesday press conference with Melissa McCaw, secretary of the Office of Policy and Management Melissa McCaw, Lamont described the tax cuts as the result of the state government’s navigation from deficit to surplus. “We now have some organic growth that allows us to provide significant tax relief to the people of Connecticut,” Lamont said. The four proposed changes include an increase and expansion of the property tax credit, a lowering of the mill rate cap for motor vehicle taxes, expanded exemptions for pension annuities and an opt-in tax credit for employers who help pay off student loans of Connecticut Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority (CHESLA) recipients. The property tax credit expansion will take the form of reverting to full eligibility, which will allow individuals earning up to $107,500 a year and joint filers with up to $130,500 a year to take advantage of the tax credit. Originally slated to happen in

Fiscal Year 2024, Lamont is proposing the timetable be moved up, and additionally that the credit be increased by 50% from $200 to $300 a year. According to McCaw that will make 1.1 million taxpayers eligible to receive the credit and will amount to $123 million dollars given to Connecticut property owners. The governor also proposed slashing the current cap on vehicle mill rates (currently set independently by individual municipalities) from 45 to 29 mills. McCaw estimated that 1.7 million vehicles will be impacted by the lowered cap and noted that it includes commercial vehicles as well as private vehicles, meaning small businesses will be able to tap directly into this $336 million in tax cuts. Lamont emphasized the importance of the lowered mill rate for having an impact on car owners across social strata, noting that under the current set-up “you could have a Honda in Hartford and pay higher property tax on it than you would for a Hummer in Hartland or Harwinton.” The state will calculate and pay the difference in car taxes owed to each municipality as a result of the legislation, the governor added. Additionally, a proposal was announced to speed up the implementation of an exemption for pension annuity holders from 2025. Lamont proposed that this to go

into effect immediately upon the adoption of the relevant legislation. McCaw said the result would benefit 250,000 persons in the state and represent a $43 million cut in total taxes. With the fourth proposal, businesses will also be allowed to participate in the student loan tax credit program offered through CHESLA. Businesses that opt in will be eligible for a 50% employer tax credit on up to $5250 in student loans repayments. Routed through businesses that have hired some of the current 32,000 CHESLA borrowers it represents up to $9.4 million in workforce development in the form of lowered taxes according to McCaw. While federal American Rescue Plan Act funding was cited as making it possible to move up the timetable on some of the tax cuts, both Lamont and McCaw insisted that they will not be one-time affairs. “If we continue on this trajectory, we do feel that these are sustainable adjustments that we can make in our tax policy,” McCaw said. The announcement drew a negative response from Bob Stefanowski, the Branford-based businessman who is seeking the Republican Party nomination for governor — Stefanowski ran unsuccessfully against Lamont in 2018. “These proposals don’t begin to scratch the surface of lowering the burden of FCBJ

affordability on Connecticut’s families and small businesses,” Stefanowski said in a press release. "Ned Lamont ran a campaign promising to cut the property tax burden on Connecticut’s working families by $400 million, he has never even tried to make good on that promise. In fact, to make matters worse Governor Lamont added $2 billion in tax hikes during his tenure, hurting working families and small businesses the most. Nothing he’s proposing today undoes the harm caused to every resident and business in our state.” The Connecticut Business & Industry Association’s President and CEO Chris DiPentima observed that “while it’s always great to be discussing tax cuts instead of tax hikes,” he believed the $336 million tax package fell short of what his organization hoped to see. “Making Connecticut more affordable is essential for keeping current residents and attracting new ones to grow our tax base and workforce, and the governor’s proposals provide some measure of relief for individual taxpayers,” DiPentima said in a press release. “However, that is only part of the overall prescription needed to bring back jobs and drive an economic recovery with opportunities for all.” The governor’s proposals will be submitted to the Democratic-majority state legislature, which reconvenes on Feb. 9.

What's next for Westchester? BY BRIDGET GIBBONS

021 was a year of rebuilding: businesses reopening, entrepreneurs launching new ventures, projects moving forward. While we are still navigating the ongoing health crisis, Westchester County has many great things on the horizon that will help our economy rebound and our current, and future, businesses flourish. As we reflect on the last year and look forward to the year to come, the Westchester County Office of Economic Development is confident that we have programs in place to help support existing businesses operating in the County, attract new businesses to the region in key industries and help continue to spur the economy.

Supporting Key Industries In 2021, Westchester County Executive George Latimer put into motion the Westchester County Economic Development Strategy, Recovery and Implementation plan. This strategy focuses on promoting the fastest growing sectors in our County and spurring workforce development. These

sectors included biosciences, advanced manufacturing, technology and clean energy. As part of the sector-based strategy, the County has created Industry Desks to identify trends and address the needs of the existing businesses in Westchester, as well as promote it as an optimal location for businesses looking to relocate here. Each Industry Desk is staffed by the Office of Economic Development and supported by a dedicated Task Force comprised of local professionals and other stakeholders that have experience and expertise in the designated sector, and serve as a resource providing support and mentorship, including insight into workforce needs, real estate issues, financing advice and more. The Biosciences and Advanced Manufacturing Task Forces are up and running, with Technology and Clean Energy to follow. “The Office of Economic Development’s sector-focused strategy makes us better positioned to help our existing companies continue to grow and expand, while also attracting new businesses to the County,” said » WESTCHESTER

Meta Technologies—

BRING IT ON

A New Era of Infrastructure Dawns Jeremy Shiner, founder and president of Meta Technologies, Myriad Health and MediPay Compliance Consultants. and health care provider offices said they were forced to choose from records and management software options that include so many integrations that providers have to sign up with multiple vendors, not to mention the high cost of these services. Myriad Health, whereas, is completely free to the providers who use it, as long as they use Meta Technologies’ payment processing services. The average range of a profit margin for most companies that offer this type of software can be between 1500% and 2000%, Shiner said. Meta’s profit margin on Myriad is 2%. “We want to come in and we want to deliver a superior product for less,” he said. “And that's important, because a lot of people hear free and they think it's a gimmick, or it's not very good, or that it will be monetized later. But no, it's going to be very transparent. What you pay is a portion of that credit card volume, because that's our background. No current client will ever be put under a subscription or asked to change. We have absolutely no plans to do that. And it's in the agreement that we won't do that. You can put it head to head with anything out there and it will compete with, if not beat them.” Along with the price advantage, Myriad is a user-friendly, all-in-one product, including billing and full health records, along with a complete patient check-in software. There are no varied levels of pricing for extra services, doctors can use it to text patients an unlimited number of times, and there are no extra costs for unlimited e-prescriptions, insurance payments and insurance approvals through it. A unique feature is the addition of a payment plan advice calculator, which runs a soft credit check based on specific parameters for patients who may benefit from a staggered payment option. Meta also has the capacity to offer complete customization to any health care practice upon installation, with unlimited tech support and customer service. For now, Meta is working on testing and preparing Myriad for a soft rollout around March, with a specialized dental version planned for an early summer release, offering the product to new and existing clients both here in Westchester and nationwide. Meta Technologies itself is in the midst of expanding, with plans to double its space in April and then double it again six months after that.

These entities provided financial incentives and tax-exempt

bond financing to major developments throughout the County, representing more than $1.2 billion in private investment in Westchester. Approved projects from the IDA include financial incentives for Regeneron’s 208,000-squarefoot expansion of its R&D campus in Greenburgh, which is expected to create over 1,600 construction jobs and more than 500 full-time jobs; and financial incentives for the $275 million Gateway II multifamily residential proj-

ect in downtown White Plains, which will feature 500 rental units (including 15 affordable units) and is expected to create 600 construction jobs and 20 full-time jobs. In addition, the LDC, which assists the County’s not-for-profit organizations in securing tax-exempt financing, voted approval of approximately $385 million in tax-exempt bond financing for the development of a senior learning community on the SUNY Purchase campus. Phase 1 of the project is comprised of Bridget Gibbons 220 independent living units, 18 assisted-living beds, 16 memory care beds, underground parking, a separate assisted living and memory care building and up to 46 single-family and duplex homes together with supporting infrastructure and property site improvements.

Lifting Up Small Businesses and Nonprofits As “the catalyst” for economic growth and vitality, Westchester County’s Office of Economic Development has created a suite of innovative programs and resources to help the County’s business and nonprofit communities recover from the health crisis. These programs, Westchester County Business FIRST: Financial Investments for Recovery and a Sustainable Tomorrow, have provided support and financial assistance to entrepreneurs, businesses and nonprofits in the County that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, we will continue to identify opportunities to support our business communities through programs such as grants, educational events/webinars and more. A major focus this year will be a dedicated marketing push to attract new businesses to Westchester County. The Office of Economic Development is planning a series of quarterly virtual events that will highlight the top businesses already operating in Westchester as well as those that have recently relocated to the area. With a focus on the County’s appeal, such as our highly educated workforce and proximity to New York City, the marketing campaign is designed to help recruit businesses that are thinking of relocating, either from Connecticut, New Jersey or beyond. Bridget Gibbons serves as Westchester County Executive George Latimer's Director of Economic Development.

According to Kravets, white glove service revolves around providing a level of support on par with what experienced traders have come to expect. Instead of being one among millions or having to navigate bots and automated systems after putting in a support ticket, Symbridge users can expect to get an actual person on the line who will be able to provide immediate feedback, answer any questions and help run any associated crypto account questions as smoothly as possible. “We are essentially creating a more approachable solution for institutional and accredited clients,” Kravets said, emphasizing the utility of around-the-clock access. “Suppose those markets are closed on Saturday for instance. We’ll basically be creating new price feed, a new market for this asset, but also combing it with crypto trading is interesting as well for institutional investors and traders.” Symbridge will allow investors to work with Asset Backed Tokens (ABTs), which behave like digitized assets but are backed by real physical assets with deliverable amounts of valuable metals such as gold, silver or palladium. “We’re providing an institutional grade infrastructure for accredited traders comfortably and easily trade in reliable systems they’re familiar with,” Kravets explained. “This should make the barrier of entry lower for them than when it comes to traditional crypto exchanges.” Kravets described the target demographic as “active traders, hedge funds that trade crypto, everything from three guys in a basement managing family assets up to big institutions that want to get into crypto trading and just need a comfortable on-ramp to do that.”

We have a sweet spot for new business. Lindsay’s Handmade Ice Cream was born during the pandemic. In April of 2020, Lindsay Grega began to experiment with recreating a delicious goat cheese ice cream she’d had a few years before at a fried seafood and ice cream stand somewhere in Maine. So she made some. And then she made more. And she kept making it until it was perfect. She made ice cream out of things found in her fridge drawer just to see if she could. Things like fennel, oranges, honey, saffron, tiramisu, donuts, strawberries, rhubarb, jalapeños, sweet corn, rosemary, blueberries and fresh mint. Using only pasteurized dairy, eggs and cheeses, along with organic produce. Nature’s bounty all turned into ice cream. It also turned into a business. So there she was, bringing creamy creations to the public, “new normal” style. Hand-made, small-batch ice cream and desserts made with the freshest natural and local ingredients available. Sold cashless and contact free. The business grew and then Lindsay outgrew her kitchen. After initially renting a production space by the day in New Jersey, Lindsay found her sweet spot in Norwalk. She’s now leasing her own allergen-free production space in SoNo, where’s she’s lived the last 17 years. Sweet dreams can come true in Norwalk. Redevelopment and new construction have never been healthier, including federally designated Opportunity Zones and an Enterprise Zone to spur investment and growth within our urban core. We welcome you to join our beautiful and evolving community.

More than $2.5 million in funding from the New York State Regional Economic Development Councils through the Consolidated Funding Application has been awarded to the city of Peekskill for its two waterfront projects – the Riverfront Green Connector Trail construction and the Fleischmann Pier and Charles Park improvements. “I would like to congratulate our Planning Department for the countless hours they have dedicated to these projects and the grant application process,” said Mayor Vivian McKenzie. “The addition of these funds from New York State will help aid in the completion of these projects and transform the waterfront in our great city.”

Fleischmann Pier and Charles Point Park bids are anticipated to begin in March. Fleischmann Pier, a 500-footlong pier built in 1938, is one of the few deep-water piers on the Hudson River and was made long and narrow to handle molasses shipments from ocean-going cargo ships. This multiphased project will implement the city’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program by enhancing water-based recreational amenities and providing additional public access to the Hudson River waterfront by creating docking for kayaks and larger vessels. The Riverfront Green Park, a popular park with backdrops of the Hudson Highlands, is an ideal location for many special FCBJ

WCBJ

events. This project will advance the city’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and Waterfront Master Plan through enhancing public access and expanding trail opportunities. The city of Peekskill is a thriving, historic community located on the banks of the Hudson River. Just under one hour north of New York City, it is culturally and economically vibrant with abundant natural resources due to its location on the river and at the gateway to the Hudson Highlands. With over three miles of continuous parkland, the waterfront is a regional destination with various active and passive recreation and breathtaking views of the Hudson River. FEBRUARY 2, 2022
