oughly five years ago, Michael Caldwell noticed a wave of digital marketplaces covering a variety of sectors — but one area where he could not locate a marketplace involved vendor services for pet care. “What I saw was an opportunity to create a marketplace for pet services outside of what was already being addressed,” he recalled. “When I look back in 2017, there was a couple apps that helped you find a dog walker or pet sitter, but I started to see more and more categories of pet services that were that people were hiring for. “This was part of the trend of the humanization of pets, with people caring for their pets more and more like children,” he added.

“They were looking for different types of pet care services, but it was all over the place — there wasn't a nice one-stop shop that you could find them all in one place online.” Caldwell was no stranger to the online marketplace environment — back in 1997, he teamed with Kevin Kinyon to launch GigMasters, a Norwalkheadquartered resource that connected entertainers with party planners and organizers of corporate and public events. Caldwell and Kinyon sold GigMasters in 2015 to XO Group, which later merged with the wedding planner resource The Knot. Caldwell and Kinyon launched their pet-focused endeavor, Petworks, in Ridgefield in 2019. Petworks covered the country with services listed » RIDGEFIELD'S PETWORKS

GROUNDBREAKING EXPECTED FOR RYE BROOK SENIOR PROJECT BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

he developer of a senior living facility at 900 King St. in Rye Brook hopes to be able to conclude a five-year approval process and break ground this summer, a source involved in the project has told the Business Journal. The applicant for the project is Rye King Associates LLC, which has an address at the Manhattan offices of real estate company George

Comfort & Sons Inc. The Rye Brook Board of Trustees has approved the site plan for the project. The approval resolution includes 17 pages of conditions that must be met by the developer at various stages of the project. Those stages include prior to the issuance of a demolition permit so that an existing building can be taken down, prior to the issuance of a building permit so that new construction can begin, and prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy.

The approval process began in June 2017 when the applicant submitted a zoning petition to the Board of Trustees. A full environmental review was completed, comments from neighbors and other interested parties were addressed and design changes were introduced. The senior living facility is to include: a 126-unit three- and four-story Independent Living (IL) facility in the center of the site; an 85-unit three- and four-story » SENIOR PROJECT

He said that the school will undergo university-wide rebranding, which will unify all its programs and schools under one Touro University umbrella. Kadish also said that Touro continues working on its project to build a new 243,305-squarefoot main campus at 3 Times Square in Manhattan. Touro plans to transform eight floors of the building into classrooms, science and technology labs, offices and event space, creating a stateof-the-art home for several of its schools and programs. Touro opened in 1971 after having been founded by Dr. Bernard Lander, who served as its first president. The school was named after benefactor Judah Touro. Lander was an Orthodox

rabbi in Baltimore who returned to his native New York in 1944. He taught at Hunter College and from 1954 to 1969 served as dean of Yeshiva University’s Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies before founding Touro. Following Lander’s death at age 94 in 2010, Kadish was named president of Touro. Touro reports there are a total of 2,236 faculty members at its various institutions and that its annual operating budget is $565 million. It describes its mission as being “to perpetuate and enrich the Jewish heritage, to enhance Jewish continuity, as well as to serve the general community in keeping with the historic Judaic commitment to intellectual inquiry and social justice.”

Touro receives university status in NY BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

he New York State Board of Regents has granted university status to Touro College. The college’s board had voted to amend the charter to change the college’s name to “Touro University.” Touro already had university status for its schools in California and Nevada. Touro’s New York state presence includes its New York Medical College (NYMC) and the Touro College of Dental Medicine, which is located on the NYMC campus in Valhalla. Touro has approximately 19,200

students studying at 35 colleges in the U.S. and overseas in Jerusalem, Berlin and Moscow. The academic areas covered include medicine, law, dentistry, business, education, Jewish studies, and other health science areas and disciplines. “Achieving university status is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication on the part of the entire Touro community,” said Dr. Alan Kadish, Touro’s president. “This exciting announcement represents our commitment to academic excellence and growth through innovative programs and opportunities in higher education.“

Danielle Bibbo's mission to expand Stamford's media environment BY JUSTIN MCGOWN

ccording to the Motion Picture Association of America, the film and television industries provided more than $1.81 billion in wages in Connecticut in the past year. Danielle Bibbo, executive vice president of business development and strategy at the media production company ITV America, made a significant contribution to that number when she pushed for the company to relocate a significant portion of its business to Stamford. Earlier this month, Bibbo was announced as the latest member of The Stamford Partnership’s board of directors, as well as the head of the Partnership’s first media industry advocacy group. “As part of her and ITV joining us, we at the Partnership were inspired to launch a Media Advocacy Group,” Stamford Partnership CEO Jon Winkel explained. “The idea is that by connecting the various media companies and their employees in the region, it would be beneficial to get all of these people talking to and working with each other. The Partnership’s role in this is to be the convener, facilitator, to try to be a backbone for the group come together and operate.” Bibbo said that Connecticut’s tax credits were one of the major draws of relocating the bulk of ITV’s headquarters outside of New York City, but that Stamford had unique advantages. “We chose Stamford in part because of its proximity to New York City, which is home to so many other media professionals,” Bibbo said. “We wanted a place that was easy to get to from Manhattan and the boroughs that also offered a bit of a city environment. There were also a few other big media companies already here. We felt like this was really the right home for us.” Bibbo first became aware of the tax incentives offered by Connecticut when she worked for NBC, a longtime presence in Stamford that recently ran most

She also saw an opportunity to build something that could draw workers away from the city in the village, the waterfront mixed-use development, which also hosts an outpost of Rhode Island-based Cisco Brewers, a signature restaurant, and an attractive workspace, all owned by Brent Montgomery, a former ITV CEO. “Obviously it’s not super easy to get a workforce up here from New York City,” Bibbo admitted. “But we believe that our officers here at the village are something special and a beacon for our company and our employees.” According to Bibbo, the effort has largely been successFCBJ

ful. Some of the demographic trends of Covid have even proven useful for smoothing the transition. People seeking more space while under lockdown are more willing to consider Stamford, and Bibbo insisted those who continue to live in the city have developed an appreciation for the reverse commute. “One person actually told me he wrote a book on the train,” she said with a laugh. Bibbo said that she hopes to foster a closer relationship between the media companies that have moved to the region in the past few years. “A lot of companies feel that other businesses within the same industry are competitors or rivals,” Bibbo said, “But we feel like these are our partners

and collaborators and we really want to build a connected ecosystem of media companies here in Connecticut and specifically in Stamford.” She believed that media companies can provide a valuable injection of creative energy to a city where much of the economic engine is built on insurance and finance companies. A deeper talent pool should benefit everybody in her estimation, a sentiment shared by Winkel. “I would keep looking at the job boards,” Winkel said of the implications of new media tenants in the area. “Restaurants and service businesses like print shops, what you would consider Main Street Businesses should definitely be on the lookout for a big splash benefit.”

Senior project—

Assisted Living (AL) structure in the northeast portion of the site; and, 20 two-story residential townhouses in the western portion of the site. When the project was initially proposed, the Business Journal reported that beginning in 1981 the 17.3-acre site was dominated by an office building initially used by IBM. From the late 1990s until 2004, the major tenant was the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, formerly Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages. The Business Journal reported that during 2014, about 132,000 square feet of the building were vacant. The IL portion of the project would provide 126 units taking up 203,528 square feet of floor space. The AL portion would offer 85 units in 91,934 square feet of floor space. The 20 townhomes would involve 48,560 square feet. There would be a total of 231 units covering 344,022 square feet. When originally proposed, the project called for 269 units. The IL building would have 39 one-bedroom units, 74 two-bedroom units and 13 three-bedroom units. The units would range in size from 1,093 square feet to 1,440 square feet. The project would offer 14 units in the affordable housing category. Thirteen of the affordable units would be in the IL building and one would be in the townhouse section of the development. There would be 230 parking spaces. Primary parking for IL residents would be located under the IL building. The plan calls for 52 surface parking spaces in the north-

There would be accessible spaces in front of the main entrance to the IL facility. The townhouses would have one-car garages and space for an additional car in each driveway. Since independent living is by design for seniors who can take care of themselves, each IL unit would contain a full kitchen and full bathroom. In addition, the IL building is designed with a full commercial kitchen that can provide three meals a day for residents and also serve the residents in the AL building. Amenities are included in the design that complement the type of living facility, such as a fitness center, multipurpose room, library, and, for those in assisted living, a secure wandering garden. Assisted living is designed for people who need help with

one or more tasks of daily living, but do not require skilled nursing care. The townhouses will be two-story design with the master bedroom on the first floor. The IL building is anticipated to have a director, activity/social program staff, as well as administrative staff during the day. The AL facility would be staffed with resident aides around the clock. Each room in both the IL and AL buildings would have an emergency response system to bring help to a resident who, for example, suffers a fall. Activation of this system, such as by pulling cord or pushing button on a pendant, will result in notifications being sent to the main desk as well as to a device that would be carried by a specified staff person at all times. Procedures would be in place for the response. The developer

says that although not required by New York State regulation, a registered nurse would be at the site 24 hours a day to assist with the evaluation of both the IL and AL residents who fall or have another emergency. The developer points out that each elevator in the IL and AL buildings will be big enough to fit a gurney. In addition, the building roofs and parapets are designed to be big enough for roof firefighting or rescue operations. The developer plans to preserve approximately 11.02 acres constituting 62% of the site as open space. It says that at least 1.89 acres would be for programmed open and recreational space that serves the needs of the residents. The developer estimates that a total of 386 people would be living at the site.

Ridgefield's Petworks— for the major metro areas in each state. Jonathan Krausche, who was brought on as chief development office, pointed out that Petworks spread its digital net as wide as possible. “One of the key differentiating factors for Petworks is that we're trying to capture a pet parent anywhere in the lifecycle and have them as a member for the next need they might have,” he stated. “So, you might have pet training and a pet nutritionist early on, but as they become teenagers you might need pet sitting or dog walking. Then, as they move towards the end of life, you might need some specialists — you might want to actually get a pet portrait done because you're starting to get ready for passing grief counseling. And we do have euthanasia as a category as well, so it's the whole life cycle.” Krausche added that approach was designed to build lifelong subscribers because “most pet parents get to another pet after” one passes away. Pet parents can join at no cost and the platform already has about 20,000 signed up. Petworks also has 5,500 pet-focused professionals listed online, with Kinyon noting that the Covid-19 pandemic had an interesting twist to one category’s popularity. “The wellness category is the biggest

thing,” he said. “For that, you get a one-page listing, which is essentially your bio and everything else that you do. To generate revenue, we offer you premium placement — you can upgrade your membership at any time, we'll put you up higher, and you're going to get more parents contacting you. So, it's sort of like you're going to get a good taste of what we do, and you're going to get some success —and then we hopefully say, ‘Hey, you want more success? Here's what it would cost you.’”

Still, not everyone can just sign up — Petworks conducts vetting to make sure the listed professionals meet their local and industry licensing requirements and certifications. While Petworks offers categories for pet nutritionists, it does not sell food. “We built the model originally on services — we saw that there was a need in services,” Krausche said. “There were already the massive players like Chewy, so food isn't on our future roadmap.” Petworks has been promoting itself via digital advertising on Google and Facebook and through social media marketing. The company has been actively fundraising to expand its liquidity, and Caldwell envisioned the possibility of going public as something that “would be an amazing outcome,” although he has more pressing matters to address. “To be honest with you, right now we're so focused on just building this thing out and our immediate goal is to find a strategic partner with expertise in either the pet or the platform space, or both, to help us ramp up that funding so that we can build out the functionality that we want, increase the reach, and ramp up our premium features,” he said. “That's really our main focus.”

New Rochelle securities broker censured for weak supervision and controls BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

New Rochelle financial broker-dealer has been sanctioned for inadequate policies and procedures on supervising its representatives. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority censured and fined Ecoban Securities Corp. for violating rules designed to ensure "high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade." Ecoban provides services in the equity and debt markets, such as private equity placements and initial public offerings, according to a 2020 financial statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It is owned and operated by Stephen P. de Got and has been regulated by FINRA since 1992. The firm moved in 2020 from a Manhattan office to a house on Decatur Road, New Rochelle, overlooking Long Island Sound. It supervises about 28 outside representatives. From mid-2016 to early 2020, FINRA found, Ecoban failed to collect outside brokerage account statements from six representatives. As a result, the firm was unable to review the accounts for unacceptable trading practices, such as insider trading. Several representatives notified the firm that they were engaged in outside business activities and, in one case, private securities transactions, but Ecoban did not review or evaluate the activities for possible conflicts. From April 2019 through April 2020, the firm failed to acquire, preserve and review messages transmitted on outside email systems by 13 representatives. It also failed to establish written procedures or test its supervisory controls. In signing the consent report, de Got accepted FINRA's findings "without admitting or denying them." But he also waived rights to defend against the findings at a disciplinary hearing or appeal the decision. And he understands that the firm may not make any public statement "denying, directly or indirectly, any finding ... or create the impression that the (acceptance, waiver and consent) is without factual basis." Ecoban paid a $40,000 fine on Dec. 22. FINRA published its findings this month in a report of disciplinary actions.

How working remotely could affect your taxes BY NORMAN G. GRILL

hen Covid-19 struck, many employers switched to work-fromhome for their employees. Some employees began working in a state other than where their office was located. While workers have begun to return to their offices, many continue to work remotely with no back-to-office dates in sight. If you're working remotely from a location in a different state (or country) from that of your office, you may be wondering if you will have to pay income tax in multiple jurisdictions or whether you will need to file income tax returns in both states. Here's what you need to know: Generally, states can tax income whether you live there or work there. Whether a taxpayer must include taxable income while living or working in a particular jurisdiction depends on several factors, including nexus, domicile, and residency. Many states — especially those with large metro areas where much of the workforce resides in surrounding states — have agreements in place that allow credits for tax due in another state so that you aren't taxed twice. For example, in the metro Washington, D.C.,

Act of 2018, taxpayers who were employees were able to deduct job-related expenses such as a desk and monitor used for work purposes or other miscellaneous itemized deductions that exceeded 2% of their adjusted gross income. Under tax reform, however, this is suspended for tax years 2018-2025.

area, the payroll tax withholding is based on the state of residency, allowing people to work in another state without causing a tax headache. Connecticut and New York are among the states that tax workers based on job location, even if they reside and pay tax in a different state. Remote Working in Multiple Locations Let's say you live in Florida. During the pandemic, a mandatory office closure allows you to work remotely from your vacation home in North Carolina, a state that is not your domicile (i.e., your home). Next spring, you will need to file a nonresident income tax return on income earned

in North Carolina (your remote work location, but not your domicile) in addition to your usual tax returns. However, in all the pandemic confusion, your employer may not have known you were working remotely from North Carolina and did not withhold tax from your pay (income earned). If that's the case, then you may owe money. Here's why: If the tax rate in the remote location is higher than the taxpayer's home state or the home state doesn't impose an income tax, but the state they are working from does, the tax credit in the worker's home state may not be enough to offset all - or any - tax owed. Ideally, employ-

ers should establish a bona fide office at the teleworking locations of their remote employees and elect the proper state withholding of said employees, so they do not have to pay additional taxes. Necessity or Convenience Another important factor to consider is whether a worker's remote work location is due to necessity or convenience. If there is a mandatory government shutdown, then it is a necessity. If the option to go back to the office exists, but the worker chooses not to because of health concerns, then the state could view it as convenience. Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs

The Right Choices Keeping good records is always important when it comes to your taxes, but even more so when there are so many unknowns. As such, it's a good idea to keep track of how many days were worked in each state and how much money was earned. Tax laws are complex even during the best of times and this column should not be taken as advice. If you've been working remotely during the pandemic in a different location than your office, it is probably a good idea to consult with a tax professional.

Upscale multifamily development proposed for Greenwich BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

ew York City-based real estate developer SJP Properties and Greenwich developer Eagle Ventures have submitted a formal application to develop an upscale multifamily development in Greenwich that would be located just north of East Putnam Avenue between Church Street and Sherwood Place. Designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, the proposed seven-story building would consist of 192 residences and 288 parking spaces, with the ground floor and sub surface dedicated to parking and the six floors above to rental residences and amenities. The project application was

submitted to the Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commission under Connecticut’s Affordable Housing Appeals Act statute for the development of market rate homes and homes affordable to low- and moderate-income residents. In accordance with state law, the development will designate 30% of its residential units as deed-restricted affordable housing. "This application signifies the next step in our efforts to bring an upscale, contextual residential development to downtown Greenwich, while also helping the town to increase its stock of new, best-in-class community housing,” said a statement from the development team. “Given the limited housing options available to the town’s residents, as well as FCBJ

BRIEFS COMPILED BY PHIL HALL

New routes coming to Tweed and Bradley airports Passengers flying from Connecticut’s airports will have a wider selection of routes this spring. Avelo Airlines is expanding its presence at Tweed New Haven Airport with the addition of four new routes. Beginning in May, Avelo will add exclusive nonstop service between New Haven and the South Carolina destinations Charleston and Myrtle Beach, and with Nashville and Savannah, Georgia. The carrier has announced low introductory one-way fares on all four new routes starting at $49. Avelo currently f lies between Tweed and six Florida destinations — Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, Sarasota/Bradenton, Tampa and West Palm Beach. “The significant service expansion we announced today builds on the excitement for Avelo we are seeing across Connecticut,” said Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy. “Our

customers are telling us they would love for Avelo to fly to more places beyond Florida. These four new routes show we’re listening.” Over at Bradley International Airport, startup carrier Breeze Airways is establishing an operations base that will bring 200 new jobs and eight new routes to the facility. The Utah-headquartered Breeze launched last May with Bradley as one of its three initial destinations. The airline currently provides nonstop flights from Bradley to Charleston, South Carolina, Columbus, Ohio, Norfolk, Virginia, and Pittsburgh; the new routes will be announced in the coming weeks. As an operations base, the airline will permanently house aircraft at the airport and hire local pilots, flight attendants and mechanics. “Our vision to transform Bradley International Airport and drive continued growth has reached a significant milestone today,” said Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon. “We thank Breeze Airways for recognizing Bradley International Airport’s high standing in the industry and for partnering with us to bring more

jobs and exciting nonstop destinations to the region. We are honored to serve as Breeze’s fifth base and look forward to our expanded partnership.” Bradley is also awaiting the return of Air Canada’s daily nonstop service to and from Toronto Pearson International Airport. The carrier halted its f lights to Bradley in the spring of 2020 at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and will resume flights starting on June 1. “Air Canada has been an important partner for many years at our airport, facilitating seamless connectivity between our regions,” said Dillon. “The resumption of the Toronto service is a major milestone on our road to recovery.”

headquartered IBM. With nearly one-quarter of all reported ransomware attacks in 2021 aimed at manufacturing operations, the industry displaced financial services and insurance for experiencing more ransomware attacks than any other industry. IBM found 47% of attacks on manufacturing were caused by vulnerabilities that the victim organizations failed to patch. IBM also warned that cybercriminals were laying the groundwork to target cloud environments, with the 2022 report revealing a 146% increase in new Linux ransomware code and a shift to Docker-focused targeting, potentially making it easier for more threat actors to leverage cloud environments for malicious purposes. "Cybercriminals usually chase the money — now, with ransomware, they are chasing leverage," said Charles Henderson, head of IBM X-Force. "Businesses should recognize that vulnerabilities are holding them in a deadlock — as ransomware actors use that to their advantage. This is a nonbinary challenge.

WIN Program to Position Westchester as Innovation Hub

n a bold move to position Westchester County as a hub for innovation, the Business Council of Westchester recently unveiled the details of its newly formed Westchester Innovation Network (WIN) program aimed at driving economic development, innovation, and growth.

“At the BCW, we know that to build and sustain strong and vibrant communities, we must convene thought leaders and futurists to design a county of the future. These building blocks include creating opportunities to showcase Westchester as a place to build, grow, test, and explore innovation in all forms,” said Dr. Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester. “With our innovation efforts delivered through WIN, we are focused on embracing innovative new companies from Westchester, across the U.S. and internationally to learn from and co-create with them, and to advance key incentives necessary to get them to grow and stay here in Westchester.”

• The WIN Implementation Guide will provide information to assist with the policies and infrastructure of the county to better attract and retain innovators, including funding, zoning, job training, incentives, and more. “In just six weeks since the formation of WIN, we are extremely pleased with the positive response to the program and the significant progress already underway. Our goal is to transform our county into a hub of innovation that will attract investment, create new jobs, and spotlight Westchester as a place to build business,” said Dr. Heidi Davidson, Chairman of the Board for The Business Council of Westchester and co-founder and CEO of Galvanize Worldwide. “The BCW membership has been quick to embrace and welcome innovators into their businesses so that together they can learn about evolving technologies in their industries and build solutions that will have a long-lasting impact on businesses of all kinds.” The Innovation Match Program The first phase of the WIN program was to attract innovation partners from Westchester, within the U.S. and internationally – hosting these innovators in Westchester, pairing them with a local industry partner, and testing their commercially viable innovations in a realworld setting. The BCW has already identified 60 potential innovator partners looking to be paired locally to test a product or service and the process to match those innovators with businesses has already begun. The goal of the Innovation Match Program is to continually host 10 innovation pairings with local businesses in Westchester with discrete deliverables agreed upon at the outset of the relationship and delivered by a specified timeframe. Businesses interested in participating as either a host or an innovator to test products or services should email win@thebcw.org. The First Pairings • Last20, a Canadian social enterprise that upcycles plastic waste into innovative solutions, including pavement. Last20 will be paired with the City of Yonkers DPW and with Regeneron as it builds new parking infrastructure in Tarrytown. • Ferro, a self-service insurance management platform for insurance brokerages, based in Omaha, NE, partnering with The Rey Insurance Agency in Sleepy Hollow focusing on streamlining the way commercial policies are managed and renewed.

The WIN program has broad support from the county’s business community. Founding sponsors of the WIN program include Montefiore; Regeneron; Westchester County Office of Economic Development; KeyBank; Robert Martin Company; Simone Development Companies; Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers (MHACY); Verizon; Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts and Dorf & Nelson “Across Montefiore and Einstein, innovation allows us to deliver and provide access to the highest quality care for residents of our region,” said Dr. Philip O. Ozuah, President and CEO, Montefiore Medicine. “As the founding healthcare sponsor of the Westchester Innovation Network, we are excited to work with the Business Council of Westchester and all local partners to encourage and celebrate innovation; community health and economic development depend on it.” “This program incorporates a myriad of themes from healthcare to government, finance and technology. The Business Council of Westchester has put together a supportive, empowering, diverse group of companies that align with the creation and development of new ideas,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer. “It truly is a ‘WIN’ for Westchester County.” Luiz Aragon, former development commissioner for the City of New Rochelle, has been hired as a consultant to serve as the program director of the WIN initiative. “There is nothing more satisfying to me than to continue to work with the Westchester community; this time to help create the blueprint for its innovation-based future,” said Aragon. The WIN Program Kicked Off with Three Key Components • The Innovation Match Program attracts innovative companies to Westchester and pairs them with local companies to test their products and services in real-world settings. Innovation Matches can also be formed with Westchester-based innovators. The goal is to provide the local host companies with an opportunity to understand innovation within their industries and to provide valuable feedback to innovators who need to pilot or beta test in a prospective customer setting. • The Practical Innovation Project is a program that spotlights a host community and teams that municipality with individuals focused on identifying projects to assist in delivering immediate economic benefit to that community and its residents through innovation.

“I’m honored to be part of the program and excited to be matched with the Ferro team. Agencies like mine strive to provide the very best service while keeping things simple and cost effective for our clients. I look forward to exploring Ferro’s inventive approach,” said Laura Rey Iannarelli, owner of Rey Insurance Agency. The WIN program is a huge opportunity for a scale-up like Ferro. “Having access to insurance brokerages where we can get realworld beta testing and constructive feedback to continue to improve our user experience is so critical for our business at this point,” said Chris Senkbile, founder of Ferro. “The WIN program and the exposure it provides us to the NY metro market is really an incredible opportunity, and we thank the Business Council of Westchester and its members for hosting us.”

BCW’s Gordon Named Co-Chair of Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Dr. Marsha Gordon, President & CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, as CoChair of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council (MHREDC). Gordon will join with Dr. Kristine Young, President of SUNY Orange, as the new Co-Chairs of the Council, effective immediately. Dr. Gordon and Dr. Young succeed Dr. Donald P. Christian, President of SUNY New Paltz who has served as Co-Chair since 2018 and will be retiring this year.

“SilverBills will provide household bill management services to older adults and allow them to age in their homes without suffering the consequences of improper household bill management,” said SilverBills founder, CEO and general counsel Marci Lobel-Esrig. “We are hopeful that successful automation of our residents’ bill payments could then serve as a model for other housing authorities nationwide,” said Wilson Kimball, President and CEO of MHACY.

“The Mid-Hudson REDC has worked tirelessly to transform the region with increased tourism opportunities, new and expanded businesses, and good paying jobs for New Yorkers,” said Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin. “As chair of the Regional Councils, I congratulate both Dr. Marsha Gordon and Dr. Kristine Young on their new leadership roles and thank Dr. Christian for his stewardship of the council over the years.”

The Practical Innovation Project The second component of the WIN program is an effort called The Practical Innovation Project. For the Practical Innovation Project, the BCW will bring together experts from Iona College to Mount Vernon with the aim of identifying innovative changes that the municipality could make right now to deliver economic activity, cost savings, and improvement in the day-to-day lives of its residents. This action plan aims to be delivered to Mount Vernon by the end of June. Last year, U.S. News and World Report ranked Iona College as one of the most innovative schools in the Northeast. “Convening innovation thought leaders from the BCW and Iona College in Mount Vernon is a unique opportunity to refine our practices to better serve residents,” said Mayor Shawyn PattersonHoward. “We are eager to receive fresh ideas on how we can promote economic activity while reducing our operational costs.” The WIN Implementation Guide The third component of the WIN program will be an Implementation Guide that spotlights ideas and suggestions gathered from innovative communities around the world and the innovation matches hosted through the WIN program. The intent is to share the Implementation Guide in the Fall of 2022.

“I am extremely honored to serve as a Co-Chair for the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council,” said Gordon. “As a long-standing member of the business community, I have seen this model of a bottom-up, regional strategy to economic development transform our region and I look forward to serving with Kristine Young and the rest of the council to continue its many successes.” The seven counties in the MHREDC comprise one of the most vibrant and attractive areas of New York State. I look forward to partnering with Marsha, as well as other MHREDC team members, to showcase the region’s strengths and advance its growth well into the future. As a fellow educator, I have appreciated Dr. Christian’s exemplary leadership within the higher education sector, as well as his stewardship of the MHREDC and his dedication to growing the region’s economy for the benefit of us all,” said Young. Established in 2011 as a centerpiece of New York’s strategy to jumpstart the economy and create jobs, the Regional Councils replaced the state’s old top-down approach with one that is community-based and performance-driven. Through 10 rounds of the REDC competition, the MHREDC has delivered over $815 million for 1,020 projects.

HUDSON VALLEY Kingstonian $52M mixed-use project inches through approval process BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

proposed development known as the Kingstonian that would bring 143 apartments, 8,000 square feet of commercial space and a new 420space parking garage to a section of the city of Kingston known as Upper Kingston has received a vote of support, albeit a peripheral one. Kingston’s Common Council by a vote of 7 to 2 has approved closing the blocklong Fair Street Extension so that it can be included in the construction plans for the 2.5-acre site where JM Development Group LLC, working with Herzog Supply Co., wants to build the $52 million project. The vote came after the Common Council was ordered by a court to hold a second public hearing on the issue. The original virtual hearing had been beset with technical problems that led to members of the public having trouble listening to what was going on and also being unable to speak. Principals in the JM Development Group are brothers Joseph and Michael Bonura, who also own the Bonura Hospitality Group. Also part of JM is Patrick Page of Page Properties based in Newburgh. Herzog Supply Co. owns Herzog’s Home Center in Kingston, Herzog Paint & Decorating, which has four stores and Kingston Plaza, a 310,0000-square-foot retail shopping center adjacent to the development site that has 34 stores. After the Common Council vote, the developers posted on the project’s Facebook page, “Thank you once again to the community and to the hundreds of supporters who have spoken out in favor of the Kingstonian project throughout this long process. Many Council members spoke with great clarity and thoughtfulness as they declared their favorable vote. We are thankful to the Common Council for all they have done to understand the complexities of this transformative project and the benefits it will deliver to our community. It is with great appreciation, as we advance the Kingstonian forward.” The project would include rebuilding the original century-old Kingstonian Hotel to create a 32-room boutique hotel. The developers point out that a public plaza would create a gathering spot for visitors and residents that could be used for entertainment, meetings and relaxing. The development also would bring public restrooms to the area. The new parking garage would have 250 spaces set side to replace a three-story city parking garage that was demol-

In 2008 the City of Kingston issued Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) from entities wanting to develop the then-vacant parking garage site. Additional RFQs were issued in 2013 and 2016. The 2016 RFQ required that any redevelopment include at least 200 public parking spaces. The developers say the project would create about 200 construction jobs and an estimated 153 permanent jobs. They say new shoppers and visitors would be attractWCBJ

ed to the city, and that the project would generate an estimated $333,000 in sales taxes each year. The apartments in the project would include 10% in the affordable housing category. The Ulster County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) approved a $1.4 million sales tax exemption for the project along with a $325,000 mortgage recording tax exemption. A 25-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) property tax agreement was

approved by the IDA. The developers say private funding of the project will amount to more than $46 million, with Empire State Development Grant Funding of $2 million, Restore New York Funding of $1 million and Downtown Reinvestment Initiative I Funding of $3.8 million. Additional votes on the project by the Kingston Common Council or Planning Board had not immediately been scheduled.

HUDSON VALLEY Monticello truck dealer sues Hyundai for blocking car dealer franchise BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

former Monticello truck dealer has sued Hyundai Motor America for refusing to transfer its car dealership to another truck dealer for lack of experience in selling sedans in a market that has shifted to trucks. Arthur Glick Truck Sales Inc. accused Hyundai of violating the federal Automobile Dealers Day in Court Act, in a Feb. 11 complaint filed in U.S. District Court, White Plains. It is demanding $750,000 from the automaker. Arthur Glick began selling vehicles in 1958, according to the complaint, and he opened the Monticello, Sullivan County truck dealership in 1967. For many years the business was all about trucks, from tractors to refrigerated trucks to pickups and including brands such as GMC, Kenworth and Massey Ferguson. In 2006, Glick and his son, Todd, the general manager, decided to add passenger cars, the complaint states, and they signed a franchise deal with Hyundai. Todd Glick, who was designated as the dealer operator for Hyundai, had never

owned or operated a car dealership. In 2020, Arthur Glick Truck Sales made a deal to sell its assets to Gabrielli Truck Sales, a multi-brand truck dealership with shops in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. Last year, Glick's Kenworth and GMC franchises went to Gabrielli. But Hyundai, according to the complaint, denied transfer of the franchise because Gabrielli had no experience owning and operating a new car dealership. Glick argues that its sales agreement with Hyundai, revised or amended six times since the original deal, as well as Hyundai's sales and service application, dealer guide and policies, do not require new car dealership experience. What's more, the complaint states, "the passenger vehicle market has shifted dramatically away from sedans and toward various types of trucks -- including SUVs, pickup trucks, and crossover vehicles." Hyundai makes compact cars, sedans, crossover vehicles, and SUVS, including the Santa Cruz, a mid-sized pickup truck. In 2020, according to the complaint, pickup trucks outsold all other vehicles in the passenger vehicle market. "The bright line between trucks and cars no longer exists," a Gabrielli executive said in

Gabrielli Truck Sales, Monticello an April 2020 letter to Hyundai. "The role of the pure sedan has significantly diminished, giving way to crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks." Three weeks later, according to the complaint, Hyundai refused to reconsider the transfer. Glick says Hyundai failed to act in good

faith, has imposed unreasonable restrictions on transfer of assets and based its rejection on inconsistent and inaccurate grounds. Hyundai spokeswoman Michele Tinson declined to respond to the complaint, citing company policy on litigation. Syracuse attorney John D. Clopper represents Glick.

Trustee questions $368,000 paid to TNT Transport family BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

or 20 months while TNT Transport and Logistics Inc. was struggling financially, and before and after it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020, hundreds of payments totaling nearly $368,000 were made to the owner and his family. Bankruptcy trustee Howard P. Magaliff says the transactions were fraudulent, in adversary proceedings filed this month against TNT owner Tomy N. Thomas, his wife Madonna and his nephew, Roshan Kuriakose, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains. TNT of New City, Rockland County, is a broker that lines up trucking for customers who are shipping goods. It was founded in 2014. It booked gross revenue of $653,313 in 2017, according to its Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, and $816,336 in 2018. But by the end of 2019, it had only $2,985 in cash on hand. TNT filed for bankruptcy in February 2020, declaring assets of $37,000 and liabilities of $199,208. From mid-2018 to the end of 2020, TNT

had transferred $177,152 to Thomas in 144 transactions, and another $9,135 in seven transfers after bankruptcy was declared. TNT made 120 transfers totaling $113,870 to Kuriakose, of West Haverstraw, and 20 transfers totaling $67,500 to Thomas's wife, Madonna. Magaliff says the transactions were fraudulent because they were made one

or two years before bankruptcy when TNT was insolvent; the company became insolvent because of the payments; it had unreasonably small capital to engage in business; it did not receive fair value in exchange for the payments; or it knew it was incurring debts beyond its ability to pay. Also, Madonna Thomas and Kuriakose were not TNT employees, had no contracts FCBJ

with the company, and provided no services to the company, Magaliff says. Some of the transfers to Madonna Thomas were payments on a $27,000 loan. But that made her a creditor, according to Magaliff, and as a company insider she was not entitled to preferential payments that would amount to more than she would receive during the bankruptcy process. Magaliff is asking the court to cancel the transactions and direct the family members to pay back TNT for the benefit of creditors. He is also challenging a $27,313 claim by PYOD LLC, a Las Vegas debt collector that acquired a loan from On Deck Capital, of Manhattan. The original $50,000 loan had an annual interest rate of 44.29% and required weekly payments of $1,474.36 for nine months. New York allows no more than 25% annual interest, according to Magaliff, so the loan was illegal and unenforceable. A hearing on the trustee's objection to the claim will be held on March 15. TNT's bankruptcy attorney, Robert Lewis, of Nyack, did not respond to a message asking for the company's side of the story. WCBJ

SHALL WE WALTZ?

For some, waltzing to or playing along to a particular waltz has become an annual tradition, enjoyed at the summer’s end in the Catskills of New York. That waltz is Ashokan Farewell, known to PBS viewers as the theme of Ken Burns’ “The Civil War." While the melody fit alongside period pieces in the documentary’s soundtrack, it was composed in 1982 by celebrated fiddler Jay Ungar after a summer of playing and dancing in the great outdoors at a music and nature learning campus now called the Ashokan Center, for which Ungar serves as president and CEO. “Nowadays people find fewer and fewer opportunities for couple-dancing, but at

Ashokan we are focused on worldwide folk music that is inherently dance music,” said Ungar. “In other words, this is music meant to get you off the couch, whether it’s traveling to one of their summer music and dance camps or just tapping your feet or swaying along at home to one of Ashokan’s virtual concert broadcasts.” A global audience is invited to tune in to join Ungar and wife and musical partner, Molly Mason, for Ashokan Center’s upcoming Waltz-a-thon on March 4 from 7 to 10 p.m. Participants from home can donate to the Ashokan Center.

Burke Unveils New Art Installation.

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains unveiled a new art installation titled “Signs of Compassion,” celebrating poetry through photography. Comprised of 30 photographs depicting people of all ages and backgrounds reciting the Emily Dickinson poem, “If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking,” using American sign language (ASL), the exhibition seeks to offer hope and encouragement to patients, staff members and visitors.

Photographer Miggs Burroughs of Westport, Connecticut, used a technique called lenticular transition to show movement throughout the work of art. When a viewer stands in front of the photos and moves from side to side, the subjects appear to sign a word or phrase from the poem. “It is a dance. You are actually dancing with a piece of art,” explained Burroughs. “The first line of the poem reads, ‘If I can stop one heart from breaking, I

shall not live in vain.’ “My hope is for people to engage and to remove discomfort, worries and whatever pain they are experiencing for a while.” A not-for-profit, acute rehabilitation hospital founded in 1915 through an endowment from philanthropist John Masterson Burke, Burke is the only hospital in Westchester County dedicated solely to adult rehabilitation medicine.

CALL FOR MORE EV CHARGING STATIONS With no less than 12 high-end car manufacturers planning to go all electric by 2030 and many more brands going all electric by 2035, 37 business owners and other interested persons tuned in to hear how meeting this change could mean smart business. A panel of professionals spoke specifically to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations as a business opportunity during a webinar on Feb. 16 hosted by the Cos Cob Library and organized by the Conservation Commission, Greenwich Chambers of Commerce and the Sustainability Committee. Despite leading the state in registered EVs, having 10% of the 17,000 electric vehicles in Connecticut, Greenwich has only one public, universally accessible charger in town – at town hall. According to Aleksandra Moch, chair of the Transportation Subcommittee of the First Selectman’s Sustainability Committee, “Private and public sectors of town have been remiss in stepping up to meet the future needs of EVs,” she said. Anthony Moore, Pedal Greenwich

and seminar moderator opened the session stating the ultimate goal is to make charging stations “ubiquitous” to meet growing needs and advance EVs. The presentation included four stakeholders who provided essential information for businesspeople and entrepreneurs considering a commercial model that includes charging stations. They included: • Chuck Brody, director of strategies, Tumalow Inc., who spoke about existing and planned infrastructure in Connecticut. “Currently there are 360 charging stations in the state. If the goal is to have 125,000 EVs by 2025, there will be great demand for charging stations.” • JuiceBar, a Norwalk-based company manufacturing charging stations in the U.S. was represented by Paul Young, vice president of sales. With 36% of U.S. drivers stating their next car will be an EV, “…charging stations went from nice to have to a must-have, in terms of attracting customers, employees and tenants,” he said.

• Enoch Lenge of Eversource brought light to the financial aspect of the business. The Connecticut EV Charging Program of Eversource can provide rebates of up to 50% for the chargers and up to100% for the installation costs, with the highest levels of rebate going to projects in underserved communities. • Michael Frisbie from Noble Gas highlighted his business and ideas for future ventures. “Adding EV chargers,” he said, “makes a business more attractive and there is a high demand for them especially within newly developed areas. This is the future we have to get ready for when following the rapidly growing demand.” Panelists acknowledged EV recharging is not yet a profit-making business on its own, but it is only a matter of time as the number of EVs continues to grow. Frisbie added, “This is an investment in the future and getting in the game early will definitely be advantageous.”

PEEKSKILL ADOPTS AFFORDABLE HOUSING ORDINANCE

The Peekskill Common Council voted to adopt an affordable housing ordinance at its Jan. 24 meeting. The vote, which passed unanimously, created the city’s first affordable housing ordinance for various income groups. It will ensure that all future market-rate developments set aside 10% of units as workforce or affordable housing. Families must earn less than 80% of the Westchester County Annual Median Income (AMI) to be eligible for workforce housing and in order to be eligible for affordable housing, families must earn less than 60% of the AMI. The new law will allow for city

FEBRUARY 28, 2022

residents to receive preferred access and provides for an application process with the developer paying the program administration costs. All dedicated workforce and affordable rental housing units must remain affordable for a minimum of 50 years from the original lease, with workforce for-sale units to remain affordable for a minimum of 10 years from the original sale date. The passage of the affordable housing ordinance will also create an affordable housing fund managed by the city. This fund will be used for property improvement assistance and the promotion of affordable housing in the city. FCBJ

A VERY THANKFUL LOCAL RESTAURATEUR Local restaurateur Gianni Piccolino, who generously fed first-responders at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco days before Thanksgiving 2020, with a life-threatening case of Covid-19. He spent two months in an induced coma. On Christmas Eve Piccolino underwent emergency surgery because of sepsis and just one day before his birthday, on Feb. 12, 2021, he was able to return home. Exactly one year after his discharge, Feb. 12, 2022, he returned to the hospital with a portable wood-burning pizza-oven truck to host a thank you party for the hospital staff that brought him back to health. Piccolino, his staff, business partner Tommy Calandrucci and family parked in front of Northern Westchester Hospital and prepared individual salads and pizzas.

Good Things CONCERT SERIES RETURNS

Ossining’s Communities that Care Coalition (OCTC) is urging adults to be good sources of information to teens and young people about the risks of underage alcohol and drug use in its “Grown Ups Show Up!” campaign. “We found that two out of every five middle and high school students in Ossining report never having conversations with their parents about alcohol and drugs,” said Alice Joselow, OCTC coordinator. “Grown Ups Show Up! is in direct response to that and gives parents and other adults the tools, tips and supports they need to provide accurate, helpful information on ways to begin this important two-way dialogue with young people.” “This campaign really helps parents, teachers and staff, as well as coaches and other adults in Ossining, get on the same page when discussing drugs and alcohol. The schools are totally on board with it,” said Ray Sanchez, superintendent, Ossining Unified School District. OCTC is a grassroots, community-based coalition that supports positive youth development and substance-use prevention.
