ven though construction crews have been working for several weeks at the northwest corner of Lon�view and Maple avenues in White Plains, adjacent to White Plains Hospital’s Cancer Care Center, a groundbreaking

was held there April 22 for what will be a signi�icant addition to the hospital’s facilities: a 252,000-squarefoot, nine-story, $272 million outpatient care center.

In addition to housing a bevy of new operating rooms, among the hightech, ultra-modern facilities will be endoscopy suites for procedures such as colonoscopies, imaging equipment, hyperbaric chambers for

high-pressure oxygen treatments used in wound care and a heart and vascular center. Specialty physician practices to be located at the new building will include orthopedics, spine, neurosurgery and maternal fetal medicine.

What do you see as the state of today’s workplace discrimination environment?

“It’s probably been the

most crucial time since the 1964 Civil Rights Act passage. The system is broken — the laws don’t protect employees the way that they should. The employers game the situation to their bene�it and the employees are left, in essence, reporting to HR and seeking solace and comfort from HR. But that’s not HR’s role. They have to seek out people like myself from the outside.

he area’s new arena football team played its �irst home game at the Westchester County Center on April 20.

The contest was televised on MSG Plus. MSG Networks will be carrying the rest of the team’s home games.

The New York Streets is the newest franchise in the National Arena League (NAL), which has six teams. In addition to the Streets, there are the Columbus Lions, Carolina Cobras, Jacksonville Sharks, Massachusetts Pirates and Orlando Predators. The local franchise is owned by New Rochelle residents Corey

Corey Galloway operates Legacy Growth Partners, which is a business development and investment �irm whose clients include professional athletes and business entrepreneurs.

The NAL came into being in 2017. Other active leagues in indoor football include the Arena Football League, American Arena League and Champions Indoor Football. Arena football, played indoors, uses �ields that are 50 yards in length compared with a standard football �ield which has a playing length of 100 yards plus two 10-yard end zones.

The arena football �ield is surrounded by dasher boards, the kind of boards used around the perimeter

of an ice hockey rink. Teams have eight players on the �ield at any given time.

On April 16, Westchester County Executive George Latimer welcomed the Galloways, team members, the team’s head coach, cheerleaders and NAL Commissioner Chris Siegfried during a ceremony held on the County Center’s steps.

As welcoming gifts, Latimer handed out Walter’s hot dogs and guest tickets to Playland.

Tamara Galloway said, “Corey and I are so humbled to be the �irst black owners of a professional sports team in New York and are so happy Westchester is part of that story.”

Siegfried said he’s a fan of old stadiums and old arenas. “Arena football is an inti-

mate game, a game where the kids can come up and high-�ive the players in-between plays,” he said. “You couldn’t ask for a better facility here. It’s a little bit tight in there but that’s just gonna make it better.”

Arena football isn’t new to the New York area. In 1988, a team known as the New York Knights made its home at Madison Square Garden. The Knights only lasted one season. The New York CityHawks played at the Garden during 1997 and 1998. The New York Dragons, which had been in the Arena Football League, played at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island from 2001 through 2008.

They had started in 1995 as the Iowa Barnstormers.

Corey Galloway said he and his wife had been working on bringing the team to Westchester for three years and would like to be able to offer fans the opportunity to enjoy something akin to tailgate parties before the games, “Just to have something where people can commune and have a good time before the game like the classic NFL fans do.”

The Streets got off to a good start during their inaugural game on April 13 at the Veterans Memorial Arena in Florida, when the team defeated the Jacksonville Sharks 52-41.

As for the home opener in White Plains, The Streets defeated the Orlando Predators 70-31.

AsK ThE InVEsTMEnT BAnKER Should I bring in an investor?

BY TED YANG and JON RUBIN

E

ntrepreneurs often ask us to help them �ind capital. After all, who wouldn’t want to have more cash on hand? However, despite television shows like “Shark Tank,” which have popularized investment, many companies never take a dime of outside money. In some cases, the size of their business and the industries they are in simply do not appeal to investors. In other cases, owners �ind that they are better off with other options, such as borrowing money or �inancing growth with internally generated cash.

This column assumes you are not a startup owner with a cash-burning plan to be the

next Facebook, but instead are an entrepreneur who has been growing your business steadily for years.

Before you start looking for an investor, ask yourself four questions:

WHY DO I WANT AN INVESTOR?

Bringing on an investor adds a completely new level of complexity to your business and takes up a signi�icant amount of time, both to �ind and maintain good relationships. Investors will typically require that you provide information regularly and consult with them on important decisions.

HAVE I CONSIDERED OTHER OPTIONS?

If you are cash-flow positive, have you considered loans

or other types of �inancing to help you grow? Even though you have to pay interest on debt, in the long run, for growing companies, debt is cheaper than equity. If you aren’t pro�itable, do you have a clear plan to become pro�itable based on your current trajectory? If neither is true and things aren’t going well, outside investors will be reticent to back your company. Instead, �ix things internally �irst. Outside money will not solve your problems.

WHY WOULD AN INVESTOR WANT TO INVEST IN MY COMPANY?

While there are many different types of investors with different risk appetites, they are all looking for �inancial return on their capital.

That means that your com-

WE SEE

pany must provide a �inancial return that compensates a potential investor for the risk and illiquidity of investing in you versus the public markets. For early-stage companies, because there is a high risk of failure, investors typically seek to realize at least a 30% annually compounded return. For later-stage companies, that number is reduced because your company is “derisked” as you’ve proven it generates consistent revenue and pro�it. In all cases, an investor needs to believe that your people, processes and products can beat the competition and bring them outsized rewards. You and your investor must also be aligned on the time frame where they will see returns, either through dividends or when

WHAT MATTERS.

you sell the company so they realize their gain.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE MONEY AND WHAT WOULD A POTENTIAL INVESTMENT LOOK LIKE?

You should have a speci�ic plan to use the money raised. How much are you looking for, how will you use those funds, what will those funds enable you to achieve and what milestones will you accomplish that demonstrate your progress? Any smart investor will want to know this so you should prepare it in advance of making your pitch. You also need to decide how much of your company you are willing to sell and what you believe it is worth before the investment, also known as the “pre-money

valuation.” The earlier your company is, the riskier it is and the lower its value. If your company is small and just getting off the ground, you’ll need to sell a fairly big chunk of the equity to raise signi�icant cash. If your company is more mature, has a track record of growth and continued strong prospects, you can justify a higher valuation and raise suf�icient capital without having to sell too much of your equity.

In CoURT Court: Seller of $6.2M Harrison house didn’t have to disclose mold

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Harrison homeowner and a Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s real estate agent had no duty to disclose recurring mold when they sold a house for $6.2 million, an appellate court has ruled, because of the doctrine of caveat emptor, or buyer beware.

Adam and Hillary Comora, who spent $1.1 million to remediate mold and �ix damages, argued that the seller, Martin Franklin, and his sister, real estate agent Caroline Freidfertig, had committed fraud by actively concealing the condition.

But disclaimers in the contract of sale preclude a claim of fraud, a four-judge panel in the Second Appellate Division ruled on April 10, and the Comoras had stated in the contract that they were “fully aware of the physical condition and state of repair of the premises.”

The Comoras bought the house at 62 Rye Ridge Road in 2013 when they were searching for a place that would be suitable for their three sons, ages 4 to 11.

The 8,900-square-foot mansion had several attractive features, including: an all-weather tennis and basketball court; large backyard; indoor and outdoor pools; a game room and a playroom. A marketing brochure touted the 2,400-square-foot pool house, built in 2008, with an In�inity Edgeless 25-meter, two-lane swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, handmade tiles and hanging lantern chandeliers.

The contract included a standard clause stating that the buyers would accept the premises “as is.” Franklin declined to provide a property condition disclosure statement and gave the Comoras a $500 credit instead.

A home inspection company hired by the Comoras reported “no visual evidence or musty odors associated with fungi,” “no elevated moisture levels” and “no visible or apparent conditions that would lead to mold growth” in the pool

house or main house.

The Comoras ordered a title report, including a search for municipal records of any permits for work done on the house and got evidence only of the original pool house project.

During a walk-through with Freidfertig before the closing, they saw no mold.

They closed on Nov. 27, 2013, and paid the balance of the $6.2 million purchase price. Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s received a $248,000 commission.

The Comoras went to their new home and turned on the heat for the indoor swimming pool, according to court records, to prepare it for a “welcome dip.” Several hours later, a humidity alarm sounded, indicating excessive moisture in the pool house.

Adam Comora called Franklin, according to his legal complaint, and was told “to call Belfor.”

This was the �irst indication of mold issues, according to the lawsuit the Comoras �iled in 2015.

Franklin hired Belfor Property Restoration of North White Plains months before the sale to remove visible mold and repair mold-damaged areas in the pool house.

Even after the repairs, the

FCBJ

WCBJ

complaint states, Franklin and Freidfertig had made numerous emergency calls to Belfor when the pool alarm went off. Bohlander Home Inspection of Katonah had advised Franklin that mold would continue to grow if the humidity was kept above 60 percent, and recommended draining the pool.

An engineer hired by the Comoras, after they moved in, found standing water and moisture flowing down the wood rafters of the pool house attic. Design flaws and poor workmanship, the engineer reported, were the underlying cause of the mold.

No municipal permit had been taken out for the remediation work.

The Comoras asked Freidfertig during the walk-through about the costs of maintaining the swimming pool and the services her brother had used for the pool area. Freidfertig, according to court records, assured the Comoras that the pool needed only routine maintenance. She did not mention the humidity problem or mold and did not identify Belfor as a service provider.

Had they known about the mold issue, the Comoras stated in their complaint, they would have demanded a substantial

price reduction. When they asked Franklin to reimburse them for their repairs, he cited the “as is” clause of the contract.

The Comoras claimed that Franklin, Freidfertig and Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s had intentionally thwarted their attempts to investigate the property.

They sued for $1.2 million in damages and $3 million in punitive damages in Westchester Supreme Court, charging fraud.

Under New York law and the doctrine of caveat emptor, the seller and the seller’s agent have no duty to disclose any information, unless they actively conceal something.

The defendants cited the doctrine and asked the court to dismiss the case.

They argued that they had never misrepresented the property, mold remediation does not require a building permit, the Comoras were given “unfettered access” to the property and had hired a professional inspector, and the conditions causing the humidity were open and obvious.

Mere silence does not amount to concealment, Supreme Court Justice Mary H. Smith stated in a 2016 decision, and caveat emptor imposes a duty on the buyer to satisfy himself as to the quality of the bargain.

But if a buyer has no way of knowing of a defect, the seller may have a duty to disclose the information. The duty arises, she said, when the “information is peculiarly within defendants’ knowledge” and the same information could not have been discovered by plaintiffs.

Smith ruled the Comoras had suf�iciently stated several causes of action for fraud. She dismissed the demand for $3 million in punitive damages because the alleged fraud was not aimed at the general public or serious enough to imply a criminal indifference to civil obligations.

The appellate panel reversed Smith’s decision, ruling that the Comoras had agreed to the contract based on their own inspection and investigation and not upon any representations by Franklin or Freidfertig.

$100M-plus project proposed for YMCA site in White Plains

very safe locations,” Rossi said. He also said he speaks to Rubino almost every day.

The White Plains project is small compared with some others by Southern Land.

Examples of projects it has under construction include: a 19-story, 310-unit building in the Knox-Henderson neighborhood of Dallas; a mixed-use project on six acres in Boulder, Colorado, with 242 apartments, 120,000 square feet of of�ices and 24,500 square feet of retail space; and Westhaven, a planned community in Franklin, Tennessee.

Rossi said the company is very upbeat about White Plains.

“We see job growth happening and a vibrant downtown that's going to continue to evolve and get better. We like the real estate. We like the location of the YMCA because it's kind of on the cusp of where urban housing meets very nice residential.”

pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

proposal to replace the building owned by the YMCA of Central and Northern Westchester at 250 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains with an eight-story mixed-use structure is expected to cost “north of $100 million,” Joe Rossi of developer Southern Land Co. told the Business Journal during an interview.

Rossi is the Northeast director of acquisitions for the Nashville-based company, which also has of�ices in Denver, Dallas and at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.

The proposal calls for the existing building, dating from the late 1920s, to be replaced with a structure containing 170 apartments and about 2,000 square feet of retail space. There would be parking for 265 vehicles on three or four levels.

Southern Land Co. is the contract vendee for the YMCA property. The closing would take place after necessary approvals for the project have been received from the city. The price to be paid to the nonpro�it YMCA was not disclosed.

The parcel covers a little more than an acre.

An application has been submitted to the city, but Rossi did not have a timeline regarding when it might be taken up by the planning board, common council or other boards and commissions. He anticipated that it would take from 18 to 24 months from the time of approval until residents could begin moving in.

The YMCA has been having trouble managing the costs of maintaining its aging building.

CEO and President Cynthia Rubino had previously expressed the opinion that it would be better to cash in, relocate to another facility and use residual funds for operations.

“We went down the road of trying to save the structure itself, or parts of it,” Rossi told the Business Journal. He said the bottom line was, “The building is made of wood frame construction and has been very poorly maintained.”

Rossi said it wasn't just Southern Land that determined demolition would be a necessity.

“Cindy Rubino tried to get it back in order and it would have cost $28 million to renovate. They could never generate that kind of money to save the building,” he said.

Rossi said Southern Land has agreed to help the YMCA �inancially while the company is obtaining approvals for the development.

Rossi said the company intends to create a structure that will pay homage to the history of the building to be torn down.

“What was submitted to the city is not necessarily what the facade of the building is going to look like,” he said. “The design that was handed in to the city was for 'massing' purposes only.”

Southern Land arranged for the Housing Action Council in Tarrytown to help handle the relocation of those people who have been living at the Y. Rossi said Southern Land has paid more than $200,000 in the relocation campaign. “We're helping in a very positive way to improve people's lives and get them into

Con Ed announces plan to end gas moratorium, but would take four years

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

s suddenly as it came, Con Edison’s moratorium on new gas hookups in most of Westchester County had an apparent solution on April 24 when, with virtually no fanfare, the utility let it be known that it had reached agreement with the Tennessee Gas Pipeline to provide additional natural gas capacity.

Con Ed said that, subject to necessary approvals, the increase in pipeline capacity could go into effect by November 2023.

“Once completed, this reasonable, low-impact solution will provide Con Edison with the natural gas capacity needed to lift the current moratorium on new gas hookups in Westchester County,” the company said in a statement.

The Tennessee Gas Pipeline provides service to Con Ed’s facilities in Westchester.

It is an approximately 11,750-mile pipeline system that transports natural gas from Louisiana, the Gulf of Mexico and south Texas to the Northeast section of the U. S.

Photo courtesy Con Ed.

“This agreement supports continued economic growth in Westchester by supplementing existing natural gas capacity without the construction of a new pipeline,” the utility said.

Con Edison had come under sharp crit-

icism from various government of�icials not only for the inadequacies of its gas supply system, but for the manner in which it implemented its moratorium on new applications for service. Among the sharpest comments was one from New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson who told a meeting of the Building Owners and Managers Association that when he received an unexpected call from a Con Ed of�icial telling him new gas applications would be cut off, “I thought I was gonna have a heart attack.”

The Tennessee Gas Pipeline plans to upgrade the facilities it uses to compress the gas for transport in its lines. A greater volume of gas going into the pipeline at one end means a greater quantity will be coming out at the other end for users.

Tim Cawley, president of Con Ed, said, “This project offers a reasonable, sensible approach to allow an orderly transition to the renewable ener�y future we all desire.

The solution provides the time needed to improve non-pipeline technolo�y and make it widely available. The additional natural gas capacity will continue to support economic growth in our region, while

reducing reliance on heating oil and the need for locally delivered compressed and liquid natural gas.”

Con Edison said that it had received 1,600 applications for new service in the two months from the time it announced that there would be a moratorium until the March 15 deadline for new applications.

Con Edison’s announcement that it had a solution to the problem did not address why the solution could not have been found before it had to implement the moratorium. The utility did say that it would continue with the $233 million Smart Solution program it has been presenting as an alternative to natural gas.

“The increased gas capacity plan allows more time for technologies to advance, and for customer adoption to increase alternative heating and cooking solutions,” it said.

Con Ed has been urging developers of major buildings and individual homeowners alike to look at geothermal and airsource heat pumps as alternative heating systems as well as installing upgraded insulation and upgrading HVAC control systems to make them more ef�icient.

Judge to environmentalist: For the third time, stop using Waterkeeper trademarks

that Salt has not complied with his orders.

He ordered Salt to post a statement on his website and social media accounts, saying that Spirit of Utah, Great Salt Lakekeeper and Great Salt Lake Water Keepers “have no right to use any of the trademarks of the Waterkeeper Alliance,” and that he is not the Great Salt Lakekeeper.

Roman ordered him to pay $144,800 in �ines within 45 days. If he is unable to do so, he must provide details of his personal �inances, including federal tax returns, places of employment and bank accounts.

Imprisonment is a drastic remedy in civil cases, Roman noted, but sometimes it is the only remaining penalty that can motivate a defendant. If Salt does not comply with the latest court order, Roman said, he may order his arrest and con�inement.

bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

federal judge has ordered environmentalist Jeffrey Salt to renounce his use of Waterkeeper trademarks, in a decade-long dispute between the Utah man and Hudson Valley environmentalists.

U.S. District Judge Nelson S. Roman also �ined Salt and his organization up to $144,800, for violating court orders over the use of Waterkeeper Alliance’s trademarks that can be traced back to the creation of Riverkeeper in 1986 by environmentalists and �ishermen who had organized in the mid-1960s to clean up the Hudson River.

Roman also held out the possibility of imprisonment if Salt continues to defy the court.

Waterkeeper Alliance, an umbrella group that represents Riverkeeper and 300 more watershed protection groups worldwide, has argued that Salt has damaged its reputation.

“Salt is a pariah in the Great Salt Lake environmental community,” Waterkeeper has stated, because of “the positions he takes and his violent criminal history.”

The alliance had licensed an Audubon af�iliate in Salt Lake City to use the Riverkeeper trademark. The organization �ired Salt as its executive director in 2004, and allowed him to keep using the Riverkeeper trademark at Spirit of Utah Wilderness Inc., a nonpro�it organization Salt formed to do business as Great Salt Lakekeeper.

In 2008, the alliance revoked Spirit’s license for failure to comply with its standards, including an integrity clause. Salt had been arrested and he was later convicted on a charge of felony aggravated assault for beating up an ex-girlfriend.

Waterkeeper, then based in Irvington, demanded that he stop using its trademarks, but Salt, according to court documents, kept using the Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper names and even referred to himself as the Great Salt Lakekeeper.

Waterkeeper sued Spirit of Utah in 2010 for trademark infringement.

In 2015, Roman granted the alliance a default judgment and ordered Spirit of Utah and Salt to stop using the trademarks.

He didn’t stop, and in 2017 Roman found him in contempt of the court order and �ined him $100 a day.

Last year Waterkeeper asked the court to sanction Salt for failure to comply with court orders. Salt, who is representing himself without an attorney, did not show up at an October hearing, but he �iled a written response in December.

The court lacks jurisdiction over him, he states, because he was never named as a defendant in the lawsuit. He argued that Waterkeeper had stolen his intellectual property, claiming that it never owned the Lakekeeper name and that he was the �irst person to use the name in commerce.

Roman concluded in his April 5 opinion

WPH—

porters, workers and local dignitaries, “Since White Plains Hospital became a member of the Monte�iore Health System nearly 4 1/2 years ago, our collaboration has helped us bring our vision as being a hub of advanced, exceptional health care here in Westchester to a reality.”

He reminded the attendees that in 1893, White Plains Hospital started as a four-room house with no running water and that a few years later it had a primitive operating room with no anesthesia. “That couldn’t have been fun,” he remarked.

White Plains Mayor Tom Roach, in praising the hospital’s contributions to the city, drew upon his personal experiences. “I’m not just the mayor, I’m a customer.

Two children born here, treated and cured of cancer here, never a bad experience, so thank you White Plains

Hospital for your investment in our community,” he said.

Susan Fox, the hospital’s president and CEO, said, “What we’re doing today is really our commitment to our community, our expanding community, to thrive in a time of great complexity and making sure that people get the right health care.”

She described increased demand for the hospital’s inpatient and outpatient services. “We’re growing unlike many other hospitals. Thirty�ive hundred staff members work here and our success demands that we continue to build here at White Plains Hospital and that hole in back of me,” she said pointing to where construction workers were waiting quietly as the event continued, “is quite a statement and it took a lot to get here.” Fox said when she arrived at the hospital nine years ago there was a need for a facility similar to the one being built.

“The right timing is very important, because if

we had built the building then, it would have been a building with primary care physicians, and today we’re building something very different for the challenges that we have today,” Fox said. Fox then gave a verbal tour of

what will be in the facility, noting that the tent in which the event was taking place was erected where the building’s lobby will be located.

She emphasized the need for specialty services to be available locally so patients

no longer have to travel long distances to see specialists.

Fox said the hospital is planning to connect its buildings. “Having the staff and patients to be able to get from building to building really is going to be key, and

even more importantly, right now if you get sick and you need inpatient services while you’re at the Cancer Center, you actually need an ambulance to take you around the block (to the main hospital), which is crazy.”

By the end of construction, the new center is expected to have created 441 permanent jobs, according to information provided by the hospital. The hospital pointed out that in 2018 it accounted for 1 of every 36 jobs in White Plains.

Fox told the Business Journal, “The way that health care economics is working is that we’re �inding ways for patients to be treated on the outside that don’t need hospital inpatient services, and so the trend toward hospitals providing a higher complexity of care is part of our strategic vision to be important and essential to the community. We are growing and the demand for services provides us the impetus to provide these services.”

helping individuals the way it was intended, and it has been further manipulated by the courts. One-third of all cases in the federal district courts are employment cases and there is a conservatism by the federal judges against employees. In 2017, there were only �ive employment cases that went to trial out of the hundreds that are �iled in the year, so the odds are not great for an employee in federal court — they fare much better in state court.”

What are the most prevalent complaints that you are receiving from people who feel they were the subject of workplace discrimination?

We’ve seen instances of Google and Microsoft employees banding together without unions and bringing complaints to management and causing management to do something. The psycholo�y of the relationship between the employer and employee is changing — that has never happened.”

reaction is simply: you are not worthy, you are going to take time away, we are going to have to �ind a replacement and what a big �iasco this has been for us. On top of that, the employer makes outrageous statements about the employees that became pregnant — that their brains have somehow changed. You cannot believe the nonsense.

The employers make it a terrible time, period.”

What about age discrimination? As the baby boomers get older and more millennials and Gen Z members come into the workplace, are more older workers being targeted?

“Employers get rid of workers in their 50s and 60s for the sake of money — younger workers make less money and many are more tech savvy. No one is doing anything to stop the flow and tide of discrimination cases that are happening.

The #MeToo movement called attention to workplace harassment and was

Within Connecticut, there is a new effort to put paid medical and family leave into law. What is your view of this issue?

And how do you respond to business owners who say it will increase operational costs?

“It is the right thing to do.

It’s not a political statement.

As for the business response, it is the same as workmen’s compensation insurance.

If you are going to permit people to come into work

Many companies claim they are trying to build a more diverse workforce. Is this a serious claim?

“It is a rubber stamp to put up as a defense whenever there is a lawsuit. I got a response back from an employer that included their employment manual and put out this whole ‘We’re diverse this that and the other.’ But I was like, ‘Wait a minute, you have discrimination happening in your workforce.

Jason Amenda’s twin careers cover tax preparation and IT consulting

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

N

ow that April 15 has passed, Jason Amenda can get a little more sleep.

“In tax season, I can start at 7 a.m. and go to 11 p.m., midnight or 1 a.m.,” said Amenda, principal at Stratford-based Barnum Tax LLC. But that’s not to say Amenda will be resting too much in the coming weeks.

“As soon as April 15 hits, I do more computer engineering,” he added.

Amenda is referring to Barnum IT, a computer consulting business that he runs simultaneously with Barnum Tax. While it is not uncommon for an entrepreneur to run two businesses at the same time, Amenda acknowledged that “except for the analytics and the number crunching involved,” his twin projects have no common ground.

Indeed, the companies take turns monopolizing his time.

“I probably devote 80% of my time to taxes in tax season and the 20% to the computer work,” he added. “After April 15, it gets switched to 80% computer and 20% tax.”

Adding to the fun was the unlikely manner in which Amenda decided to become his own boss.

“Back in 1993, I was Tom Thumb in the Barnum Festival, so that’s why I carried out the Barnum name,” he explained. “The people I met through the Barnum Festival inspired me to do better in life and take on the role of entrepreneurship.

The ringmaster in 1993 was Mickey Herbert and I followed him along,” he noted, referring to the former Bridgeport Blue�ish owner and former chief executive of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council.

Amenda’s original career focus was in IT and he initial-

ly came to tax preparation as a favor to friends who needed help deciphering their 1040s. From that, he began getting referrals for help and opted to form an LLC in 2015, focusing on offering a cost-effective service.

“I found that a lot of income tax preparation companies like H&R Block and some of those bigger names charged a lot,” he said. “So, I tried to price myself as an affordable option for individuals and small businesses.”

This year’s tax season found Amenda offering more in-depth explanations to his clients of how the recent changes in the tax code resulted in very different returns.

“It was interesting,” he said. “Most people made a little more money in 2018 and withheld a little less money.

But they made less money in 2017 and withheld more money, so their returns were larger for 2017. One thing that people got hit hard with was the property tax cap. For example, I have clients that may deduct $16,000 in taxes paid, but this year they can only do $10,000.”

Amenda also needs to patiently explain that some schemes being hatched for tax purposes are never a good idea.

“A lot of people want to either take someone’s kid or they want to give the kid away,” he observed. “When there are situations with earned income credit, there is a limit to the amount of money you can make. If someone is making too

much money, they could say, ‘Hey, can I give my child to my sister who is making only $25,000 and earn the credit and split whatever it is?’

When I hear things like that, I say, ‘We can do things the correct way or I’m sorry but you’ll have to take your business somewhere else.’ ” Amenda has found himself offering tax advice to members of the so-called “gig economy.” For Amenda, these workers often fail to accurately estimate what their tax bill will be.

“You need to plan on what you think you’re going to make, which is sometimes next to impossible,” he advised. “I tell my clients that you need to estimate quarterly. So, 15 or 20 days before the quarter closes, look at what you have for invoices and what kind of money you’ve brought in for your business and we can estimate based on last year’s estimated payments for what you were doing and this year’s tax code on what you should be doing every quarter.”

A similar problem occurs with some smaller businesses. “What a lot of businesses don’t do is look at their revenue quarterly,” Amenda continued. “They look at it at the beginning of the year and say, ‘OK. Let’s break this into four payments.’ But when they come to see me at tax time, there is a big surprise because they either didn’t withhold enough or they withheld too much, which is �ine because they get the money back.”

Broker claims seller didn’t pay $260,000 Oakwood Gardens commission

Connecticut lost 1,300 jobs in March

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

M

ordel Real Estate Advisors claims that the seller of an affordable housing midrise in Mount Vernon has refused to pay a $260,000 brokerage fee.

Mordel, of Great Neck in Nassau County, sued Mt. V LLC on April 1 in Westchester Supreme Court claiming that it had procured “a ready, willing and able buyer” for $13 million.

The transaction was for Oakwood Gardens Apartments at 630 E. Lincoln Ave. near the Pelham border. The 89-year-old, 100-unit, Tudor-style structure provides subsidized housing through the federal Section 8 program.

Mordel says it contacted Mt. V in 2017 about a potential buyer, K&R Preservation of Manhattan.

Mt. V is a special purpose entity managed by real estate attorney Aaron Seligson of Seligson, Rothman & Rothman in Manhattan.

K&R Preservation’s founders, Francine Kellman and Brian Raddock, specialize in buying and renovating affordable housing properties that are deteriorating or close to �inancial default.

Mordel claims it negotiated a deal in which K&R Preservation would pay Mt. V $13 million for a 2.5 percent commission. The commission was later reduced to 2 percent, or $260,000.

Mordel also claims that it saved Mt. V $800,000 on its mortgage “and otherwise acted as a catalyst for the sale of the property to K&R.” The contract of sale acknowledged Mordel’s brokerage services, the complaint states, and Mt. V’s obligation to pay the brokerage commission.

The deal closed on Feb. 26 but Mt. V, according to the complaint, has refused to pay the commission.

The lawsuit charges Mt. V with breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

Seligson was not available to respond to the allegations, and associate Stewart Rothman did not immediately respond to a voicemail message.

K&R has budgeted $20.6 million for the acquisition, according to a Mount Vernon Industrial Development Agency document, including renovations on the 2.25-acre property.

Mordel is represented by attorney Martin Eisenberg of White Plains.

onnecticut lost 1,300 net jobs in March to a level of 1,693,400 seasonally adjusted, according to data from the state’s Department of Labor, which also revised the 400-job loss to a 400-job gain in February. As a result, Connecticut’s March unemployment rate is 3.9%, seasonally adjusted, up one-tenth of a percent from the revised February level.

Private-sector employment declined by 1,100 to 1,456,500 jobs in March, although it was up by 7,300 seasonally adjusted jobs from a year ago.

ment — dropped by 200 jobs last month to a total of 236,900, remaining flat year over year.

Connecticut recovered 96,600 of the 120,300 seasonally adjusted jobs lost in the Great Recession, while the local private sector recovered 111,100 of the 112,000 jobs it lost during this period.

Pete Gioia, economic adviser with the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, pointed out that the state lost 3,400 jobs in the �irst quarter of this year and warned that the reluctance by elected of�icials to cut government spending while advocating for new workplace mandates has created “continued barriers to investment, job creation and economic growth.” Gioia said this policy focus will continue to drive jobs out of the state.

FIRST QUARTER 2019

HOULIHAN LAWRENCE REPORTS U.S. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY

The first quarter of 2019 was marked by the seesaw effect of mixed optimism and fear among investors, influencing real estate investment as a whole. Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors driving mixed activity included trade disputes and regulatory changes.

The confidence seesaw played out in the following manner. Earlier in the quarter, fears of an impending recession were put to rest by robust employment activity. However, slow-down fears resurfaced toward the end of the quarter as employment statistics faltered and 10-Year Treasury yields declined, signifying investor preference for safety. The March employment report reignited hopes that, for 2019, economic activity would be resilient.

INCOME — PRODUCING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE CONTINUES TO SHINE

In the current economic environment, the virtues of existing income-producing commercial real estate continue to shine, while the time-intensive nature of development is less attractive to investors. This is due to the perception of a shorter runway to the end of the economic expansion. Thus, future income is being more heavily discounted in underwriting investment returns.

New trends are emerging as corporations and consumers try to adapt to a rapidly evolving business environment. Changing consumer behavior is redefining the types of companies and business approaches that are most likely to succeed. Preference for experiential activities and the desire to improve sustainability of resources are among the most dominant themes.

Many of these trends are deeply altering businesses within the commercial real estate tenants’ base and, as a consequence, the real estate they occupy. Landlords are adapting to preserve the income-producing potential of their assets and ultimately, their intrinsic value in the marketplace.

WESTCHESTER MULTIFAMILY REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT BRIGHT SPOT

Despite the uncertain environment, Westchester multifamily apartment fundamentals are solid. The attractiveness of this asset class in Westchester — to tenants and investors — appears unquestionable. Over the last two quarters, approximately 700 new units have been delivered in the area south of I-287, yet occupancy and pricing have strengthened according to Costar data.

Investors continue to prefer multifamily investments due to their resilience in varying economic environments, as well diversity of sizes and price points. Households continue to favor this housing format due to the flexibility and affordability it offers.

In addition, newly built multifamily buildings located in close proximity to Metro-North commuter transportation are offering both the amenities and a commute that competes strongly with developments in the popular boroughs of New York City.

RETAIL BATTLES FORWARD

Retail properties in Westchester experienced strong net leasing, consistent with the activity of the last quarter of 2018. Leasing was led by direct re-tenanting of space with sublet activity diminishing. Retail shops gave back rental rate gains achieved the prior year, but landlords success-

COMMERCIAL

fully managed to maintain and improve occupancy by accepting discounted rents.

Performance of grocery-anchored shopping centers continues to exceed that of regional malls or big-box centers, where tenant turnover is meaningfully higher. Street retail faring best is in the direct path of commuters with convenient parking. New tenants continue to be hesitant about the overall business environment and demand more flexible terms and rents. In Westchester we continue to see wellness trends driving retail leasing with uses ranging from niche fitness businesses to medical practitioners.

OFFICE SPACE — BIGGER DEALS FLOURISH

Westchester office properties also had a strong leasing quarter, almost double the net leasing achieved in the fourth quarter of 2018. There were fewer deals but larger in size. Like in the retail space, landlords are prioritizing occupancy over rents and accepting the realities of a more challenging business environment. Direct rents declined more than sublet space, underscoring owner desire and ability to be flexible.

Overall, it is our experience that tenants perceive the office market to be oversupplied for small blocks of space. These smaller tenants have become very conservative in bidding for rental space as they want to avoid loading their businesses with fixed costs that could hurt their viability in a downturn.

INDUSTRIAL ASSETS SERVING E-COMMERCE CONTINUE TO EXPAND

Industrial assets have now broken historical trends and appear to be in a new era. Nationally and regionally, digital sales activity accounts for a large percentage of the growth in demand for industrial real estate. According to some market observers, the share of industrial real estate dedicated to fulfilling e-commerce is approaching 50% in some regions of the country.

In Westchester, unprecedented industrial strength continues and lease prices have maintained their ascent. Net absorption weakened slightly during the first quarter after several months of strong leasing gain. This is likely to be temporary. Anecdotal information and on-the ground observations lead us to conclude that fundamental strength is unabated.

INVESTMENT SALES LEVELLING OFF

Lastly, investment sale dollars tell a story of a rebounding market. However, examining the largest deals during the first quarter of 2019 indicate that one single deal, the acquisition of The Empire City Casino in Yonkers (810 Yonkers Avenue) by MGM Resorts International for $850 million, hides the underlying weakness that the transaction market is experiencing. Without this deal, investment activity declined to levels similar to the third quarter of 2018 — less than $200 million — and less than half of the activity of the fourth quarter of 2018.

In this rapidly changing commercial real estate market, up-to-date local and regional market knowledge and transaction expertise are critical for success. Houlihan Lawrence Commercial has the experience, market intelligence and professional access that is necessary to help investors and owners to evaluate market conditions, fair pricing and the very best approach to marketing their real estate.

We would be delighted to provide our professional expertise as you consider both your present needs and the future of your real estate assets.

bheltzel@westfairinc.com company that paid $18 million for the vacant Novartis campus in Suffern in 2017 has accused business associates of circumventing federal bankruptcy court to hijack the deal.

RS Old Mill LLC, controlled by Yehuda Salamon of Brooklyn, sued Bridgewater Capital Partners, its af�iliate Suffern Partners, CPIF Lending and several people af�iliated with the companies for up to $100 million in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains.

Conspirators, the complaint states, “masterminded the sequence of events intended to circumvent the authority of this court and divest the debtor (RS Old Mill) of its sole asset.”

Attorneys representing several defendants did not respond to email requests for comment.

The Novartis property includes 162 acres and a 585,000-square-foot building with of�ices, laboratories, manufacturing area and a warehouse on Old Mill Road, straddling Suffern and Montebello in Rockland County.

RS Old Mill made a $2.5

million down payment in 2016 to buy the property from the Swiss drugmaker for $18 million. It �inanced the acquisition with Bridgewater Capital Partners, a company registered to a house in Monsey and controlled by Isaac Genuth and Mark Yunger.

The transaction hit a snag, according to an af�idavit by Salamon, when Novartis refused to allow a due diligence environmental investigation of the property. Fearing that the deal was jeopardized, he �iled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to stop a termination of the sales agreement.

Salamon claims the defendants hatched a scheme to defraud RS Old Mill. After acquiring the Novartis property, RS would immediately convey it to another company for zero dollars, and that company would convey it to a third company for $30 million.

The extra $12 million would then pay any remaining creditors in the bankruptcy case, Salamon claims he was told, and he would be given an opinion letter stating that the series of transactions did not need bankruptcy court approval.

With a court-imposed deadline looming to close the deal, and the $2.5 mil-

lion down payment at risk, Salamon claims RS “literally had no choice but to rely on the representation that the modi�ied transaction was legal.”

Defendants formed new companies: RS Old Mill Rd LLC — identical in name to Salamon’s company except for the addition of “Rd” — and Suffern Partners LLC. Novartis deeded the property to RS for $18 million.

Then RS deeded it to RS Rd for zero dollars. RS Rd deeded it to Suffern for $30 million.

Suffern mortgaged it to CPIF for $33 million.

The paper transfers were not disclosed to bankruptcy court, according to the complaint, and the defendants never intended to pay Salamon’s company.

RS accuses the defendants of fraud, conversion, unauthorized transfer of property, civil conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud bankruptcy court and creditors, legal malpractice and breach of contract.

Salamon’s company is asking the court to void the property transfers and mortgage and is demanding $12 million in damages and $100 million in punitive damages.

RS is represented by Kevin J. Nash of Goldberg Weprin Finkel Goldstein of Manhattan and Michael Levine of Scarsdale.

he SALT limit on using state and local taxes as deductions on federal income tax returns had a meaningful impact on the high end of the local real estate market in the �irst quarter of 2019, according to a report from Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty. The changes to tax law as crafted by congressional Republicans and the Trump administration put a $10,000 cap on the amount of state and local taxes, including property taxes, which can be taken as deductions on federal returns.

Joe Rand, managing partner of the brokerage, said, “I don’t think its had any effect on the market in the mid to lower end because buyers and homeowners in those markets don’t

itemize their taxes. They take the standard deduction.” The standard deduction was doubled for 2018, while personal exemptions were eliminated and changes were made to the tax brackets. “It’s pretty clear from the numbers in 2018 and now in the �irst quarter of 2019 that the SALT cap did have an effect on behavior in the higher end. It didn’t destroy the market. It has just slowed,” Rand said.

Rand Realty’s �irst-quarter market report for the Hudson Valley said the SALT cap is “hampering what would otherwise be a fairly robust seller’s market.” It said SALT was suppressing sales and price appreciation in the higher-priced markets like single-family homes in Westchester County.

In Westchester, sales dropped almost 5% for the �irst quarter when 982 single-family homes were sold compared with 1,029 in the �irst quarter of 2018. The average selling price Rand showed dropped 4.7% for the quarter. It was $758,867 in 2019 compared with $796,656 in 2018’s �irst quarter.

Rand showed 259 condo units sold in the �irst quarter of 2019, compared with 262 for the �irst quarter of 2018. The average selling price in the �irst quarter of 2019 was $425,320, compared with $431,401 in the �irst quarter of 2018.

There were 447 co-op properties sold in the �irst quarter of 2019 at an average price of $193,968. In the �irst quarter of 2018, the numbers had been 453 units at an average price of $188,656.

In Putnam County, single-family home prices fell 3.7% to an average of $341,357 with 223 sold, a drop of 5.1%.

“Look at Orange County, look at Rockland County, look at Putnam and Dutchess.

The market is doing very well. You look at Westchester condos and co-ops, the market is doing very well,” he said. “The one place where you see a little bit of negativity is in the Westchester single-family market and I think that negativity is largely con�ined to the highest end of that market which is really struggling right now. But, if you ask agents in the �ield, if they get a mid-priced listing in Westchester County, it’s moving very quickly.”

Westchester real estate sales down in Q1

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

estchester Real Estate Inc., a consortium of independent real estate brokerages serving Westchester and Putnam counties as well as New York City, has issued a report on activity in Westchester during the �irst quarter of 2019. Its conclusion: the luxury market lags behind other segments.

“Signi�icant price drops are prevalent and buyers are few. Those high-end properties that are selling are the ones where the price drop is sizeable enough to make buyers think they MUST make an offer,” the report says.

Overall sales were down 3% for the �irst quarter, with 1,841 properties changing hands versus 1,897 in the same period last year. Single-

family home sales dropped 5%, condos were down 1.5% and co-ops were down 1.3%.

The report said overall inventory was up 4.3% compared with the �irst quarter of 2018, but the co-op segment showed a 20% drop in inventory. Single-family inventory rose 6.9%, the number of condos on the market was up by 10% and multi-family inventory rose by 18%.

On average, single-family homes sold for 97.6% of the listing price in the �irst quarter of 2019, according to the report. The median single-family home price was down from $611,250 in the �irst quarter of 2018 to $604,900 this year. The median sale price for co-ops was up by 9.7% at $170,000 from $155,000 a year ago, condos were up 2.5% at $360,000 compared with $351,250 and the multi-family median price was up by 14.1% at $535,000 compared

with $468,750 for the �irst quarter of 2018.

In Scarsdale, the median sale price of a single-family home in the �irst quarter of 2019 was $1,125,000, down 29.71% from 2018’s �irst quar-

ter. In Somers, the median sale price was $505,000, up 29.2% from the �irst quarter of last year. White Plains showed a 5.72% drop in the single-family median sale price as opposed to Yonkers

which showed a 2.71% increase, Port Chester with a 22.87% gain and Peekskill with an 18.42% increase. The median price for single-family homes with a Purchase address was up a whopping

66.13% at $1,797,500.

Single-family homes were on the market an average of 88 days during the �irst quarter of 2019, the same as the comparable period last year. Condos averaged 81 days, compared with 79 in the �irst quarter of 2018.

Co-ops posted 79 days on the market versus 92 in the �irst quarter of 2018. Multi-family homes averaged 69 days on the market in the �irst quarter of this year, compared with 84 days during 2018’s �irst quarter.

The report predicted that mortgage rates would remain in the same range as they are now for the foreseeable future due to the Federal Reserve Bank suggesting no need for shortterm interest-rate hikes. The report noted that after coming close to 5% toward the end of 2018, mortgage rates have been holding in the 4.125% to 4.25% range.

AsK Andi Supervisor learns to supervise WE HAVE A NEW SUPERVISOR WHO IS USED TO HAVING HER HAND INTO EVERYTHING. SHE WAS A GREAT TEAM LEADER, HELPING HER CO-WORKERS TO GET BETTER AT WHAT THEY DO. WE HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR HER AS A SUPERVISOR, BUT SHE’S GOT A LOT TO LEARN. IF SHE IS GOING TO MANAGE THE BACK, SHE CAN’T BE DOING DAYTO-DAY WORK. HOW DO WE HELP HER GET THROUGH THE TRANSITION? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: The main job of supervision is to evaluate work and improve results through discussions, visits and oversight. Build KPIs that your supervisor can use to report on how things are going. Get out of the supervisor’s way as she learns how to do her job.

Make sure you have a job description for your supervisor. Include responsibilities for goal setting for her unit, understanding company goals and how her area �its

into those goals, and for organizing the work in the most ef�icient manner possible.

Make sure your supervisor has put in place processes for how things should get done and that she has follow-up to insure people use those processes. And a teaching method for getting people to improve at the processes they’re responsible for.

Knowing exactly what is expected is a powerful management tool, both up- and downline. De�ine expecta-

tions with KPIs. Establish a series of measures that are useful for demonstrating how things are going on the shop floor. For example, how many units/hour are produced? What is the waste factor? What is the error rate?

Ask the supervisor to measure results on the shop floor and report on where things are today. Then ask her to set goals for three months from now. Getting her to focus on improving results and reporting on outcomes in many areas may keep her busy enough that she doesn’t have time to have her hands deep into everything that’s going on.

Make sure your supervisor is actually giving up control to the people who work for her. For someone used to

doing the job, it’s so tempting to want to have hands on everything. But a good supervisor has to back away and get the people under her functioning independently.

And that will only happen if she lets go, lets people make mistakes and holds people accountable for �iguring out how to �ix the problems they create.

Check on your supervisor’s training skills. Sounds like she has a pretty good start technically. Make sure she can go all the way with educating people on what to do without stepping in to do it herself.

Share your own experiences at learning to supervise, if you can remember.

War stories can be a powerful teaching tool. Think back to when you �irst wore

supervisor shoes and the challenges you ran into.

Sharing some of those experiences, good and bad, will help you and your supervisor identify with each other, which will be a foundation you can use to coach her on improving skills.

Check in with the shop floor periodically. How are things going there? Does your supervisor have an independent, con�ident work group that is focused on improving things? That’s the goal! If you see problems, address them with the supervisor one on one, giving her examples of how else she might handle situations. Help her to understand that this job is one she’s learning to master and that she has time to get it right as long as she keeps

making improvements.

hoenix-based ON Semiconductor Corp. announced that it is buying the 300mm chip fabrication plant in East Fishkill from Global Foundries for $430 million, of which $100 million has been paid at the signing of the de�initive agreement, and the remaining $330 million will be paid at the end of 2022.

At that time, ON Semiconductor will gain full operational control of the plant, with Global Foundries’ 900-plus employees transitioning to ON Semiconductor.

Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

ON Semiconductor has committed to invest more than $720 million over 10 years in the Dutchess County facility.

In exchange for ON Semiconductor’s investment commitments, Empire State Development has offered to provide up to $17.5 million in grants toward the purchase of the property, facilities and certain manufacturing equipment, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s of�ice. In addition, the state will provide $22.5 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for investment, new hiring and research and development over 10 years. Award of both the grants and the Excelsior tax credits are contingent on ON Semiconductor meeting its job and investment commitments, according to the governor’s of�ice.

“The company’s investment will further advance chip manufacturing in New York state and add over 100 jobs and retain nearly 1,000 in Dutchess County,” Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

The agreement allows ON Semiconductor to increase its 300mm production at the East Fishkill plant over several years, and allows for Global Foundries to transition its numerous technologies to the company’s three other at-scale 300mm sites, according to a statement. Under the terms of the agreement, Global Foundries will manufacture 300mm wafers for ON Semiconductor until the end of 2022. First production of 300mm wafers for ON Semiconductor is expected to start in 2020.

Global Foundries took over ownership of the East Fishkill plant four years ago from IBM. National Resources bought 300 acres of the campus for its iPark brand and has added tenants such as Sloop Brewing Co. and handcrafted syrup-maker More Good.

New York, Connecticut rank low on study of economic growth

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

N

ew York and Connecticut ranked at the bottom for state economic growth in the 2019 edition of the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) study “Rich States, Poor States.”

The ALEC report ranks the states via 15 policy considerations ranging from tax rates, regulatory burdens and labor policies, with the determination on whether these policies have bene�ited or brutalized

the states’ economies.

New York ranked 50th for economic outlook for the sixth consecutive year, although it ranked 17th for economic performance. Among the variables that resulted in its rankings, the ALEC analysts noted its marginal corporate income tax rate (a 50th ranking), average workers compensation costs (a 50th ranking) and the marginal personal income tax rate (a 49th ranking).

Connecticut ranked 41st for economic outlook and 50th for economic performance. Among the variables

that resulted in its rankings, the ALEC analysts scored Connecticut with low marks for its property taxes (a 43rd ranking), its estate/inheritance tax policy (a 50th ranking) and its labor policy that works against the right-to-work concept (another 50th ranking).

ALEC Chief Economist and Vice President Jonathan Williams noted that economic policies contribute to an exodus of residents — New York saw 1.3 million leave and Connecticut saw 178,000 move out between 2008 and 2017.

Study reports impact of Walkway Over the Hudson on local businesses

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

alkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park (WOTH), the former railroad bridge over the Hudson River connecting Poughkeepsie and Highland, has had a signi�icant impact on quality of life in the area while having a lesser impact on local businesses, according to data in a study released April 18 by the organization Walkway Over the Hudson. The nonpro�it arranged for the study, which was prepared

by Newburgh-based Pattern for Progress with support from Marist College and student researchers.

Developed from an abandoned railroad bridge, WOTH is the world's longest elevated

pedestrian bridge. It is 1.28 miles long and 212 feet above the Hudson River. Nearly 5 million visitors have been on the bridge since it opened in October 2009.

The New York State Of�ice of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation handles day-to-day management of WOTH. The New York State Bridge Authority takes care of the physical structure of the bridge and the nonprofit organization coordinates the promotion of the park, fund-raising, community relations and programming.

Marist student researchers surveyed 29 business owners or managers in Poughkeepsie.

Twelve of them, or 41%, said since the walkway opened, their business “somewhat increased” or “greatly increased.” The majority of businesses, 59% (17 of the 29),

said they have seen no change in their revenue.

The study found the businesses reporting “greatly increased” revenue are close to the WOTH such as the Coffee Bean, located at the Metro-North train station, Lola’s Café, located directly under the WOTH on Washington Street, and Alex’s Restaurant, a popular diner.

When business owners

and managers were asked their general perception about the future of the neighborhood where their business is located, 59% said they had a positive outlook and 21% said they thought the neighborhood will most likely stay the same. Another 21% believe the neighborhood will get worse and generally had a negative outlook on Poughkeepsie.

Data self-reported by �irst-

time WOTH visitors showed that 57% intended to spend money at Poughkeepsie restaurants, more than 44% intended to spend at other nearby restaurants, more than 36% intended to spend at other retail businesses in Poughkeepsie, more than 21% planned to spend more than $50 at local hotels, more than 41% intended to spend at a local gas station, more

than 31% intended to spend at other tourist destinations in the area and more than 64% intended to spend on food and drink kiosks on the walkway.

Analysis of the self-reported spending habits of repeat visitors found their actual spending was slightly higher than the intended spending of �irst-time visitors.

The study showed 57% of Poughkeepsie residents believe WOTH has improved their quality of life. Nonpro�it organizations in the area also praised the attraction, with 88% of those organizations which held fund-raisers at WOTH reporting they raised more money from events held on the bridge than from events held at other places.

Data showed $8 million raised through events held at WOTH since its 2009 opening.

Pair of Stamford police captains made $850K last year

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

pair of Stamford police captains each received more than $400,000 in compensation last year, according to city records.

The city of Stamford spent $314.5 million on salaries and compensation for the calendar year of 2018, a 1.9 percent increase in spending compared to 2017. According to the city, even though Stamford continues to grow its Grand List, the increase is equal to the 1.9 percent rise of inflation in the U.S. for 2018.

The $314.5 million accounts for the salaries and compensation of over 5,000 fulltime and part-time employees, 95 percent of whom belong to the police, �ire or education unions.

Leading the list was police Capt. Richard Conklin, who received a total of $438,300,

including $136,521 in base pay, $189,083 in overtime and $112,696 in extra-duty pay. He was followed by Capt. Diedrich Hohn, with total earnings of $411,680.

The top nonpolice earner was Superintendent Earl Kim, who came in ninth at $276,125. Mayor David Martin was 117th with $175,662. The mayor’s of�ice noted that although some members of his cabinet make

over $100,000, none of them are in the top 100 highest earners on the list.

“Unlike other elected of�icials — for example, the governor of Connecticut, the governor of New Jersey, the mayor of Boston, the mayor of Seattle, or other mayors in Connecticut — Stamford does not provide pensions, personal drivers or estate mansions for its mayor or any of the administration’s cabinet,” Martin’s of�ice said.

“Additionally, some cabinet members make signi�icantly less than $100,000 and at least one member is a volunteer who does not take a salary at all.”

The average salary for the mayor’s cabinet was $112,969, less than the average compensation of �ire union workers ($125,573) and police union workers ($152,361).

The average salary for a city employee is $62,827, or $76,271 if part-time and seasonal workers are excluded.

Stamford’s Charter Communications reaches accord with New York state

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

C

harter Communications and the state of New York have reached a compromise agreement whereby the Stamford company will expand its Spectrum cable television and internet operations in the state.

The agreement brings to an end a battle that began last July, when the New York State Public Service Commission accused Charter of “repeated failures to serve New Yorkers and honor its commitments” and threatened it with expulsion by forcing it to cede its internet, television and phone services to another company.

The roots of the dispute date back to 2016 when Charter signed a deal with the PSC to gain approval of its purchase of Time Warner Cable. As part of that agreement, the Stamford company was required to add more than 58,000 homes, mostly in rural areas, to its Spectrum network by May 2018. While Charter said it had done so, the PSC held that it had inflated its �igures by relying too much on New York City subscribers.

According to a PSC statement, “Charter would expand its network to provide highspeed broadband service to 145,000 residences and businesses entirely in upstate New York; the network expansion would be completed by Sept. 30, 2021, in accordance with a schedule providing frequent interim enforceable milestone requirements; and Charter will pay $12 million to expand broadband service to additional unserved and underserved premises.”

Charter released its own statement maintaining that the agreement “allows the parties to move forward with the critical work of expanding access to broadband by resolving their disagreements without the need for costly litigation. As a result, Charter will invest even more money in New York state than originally planned, bringing the educational, economic and social bene�its of high-speed broadband to areas where access is often limited.”

Following a 60-day public comment period, the �inal agreement is subject to review by the PSC.

State of�icials have turned their attention to the tourist trade and are considering ways to boost a sector that contributes $14.7 billion in business sales, generates $1.7 billion in tax revenue and supports nearly 83,000 direct jobs and 121,000 indirect jobs.

“Some of the folks in the statehouse have more of a business background in this administration than in the past,” said Murdock, who was promoted to the CTCSB presidency a few days before Lamont took of�ice. “So we’re hoping for more funding, possibly in the near term. And we do have a good story to tell.”

n this era of “debt diet,” to use Gov. Ned Lamont’s phrase, not having your already tight budget cut further is a gift.

At least that’s the attitude at the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau, the state’s of�icial meetings and sports event sales and marketing organization.

Noting that the CTCSB has withstood funding cuts each year since its formation in 2012, President Robert Murdock said Lamont’s proposed budget keeping the organization’s funding f lat “is a positive in our world.”

March was one of the recent bright spots for the CTCSB. A pair of “March Madness” events — the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball �irst and second rounds on March 21 and 23 at Hartford’s XL Center, and the NCAA Women’s Division 1 Basketball �irst and second rounds on March 22 and 24 at the Harry A.

While �inal �igures are not yet available, the Bureau estimates that the men’s event generated over $7.8 million for the state’s economy, with the women’s games adding another $3.6 million.

UROLOGY PRACTICE TO OFFER SUBSPECIALTY SERVICES AT EXPANDED HEADQUARTERS

Premier Medical Group Urology Division, a rapidly growing urology practice, has signed an agreement to construct a stateof-the-art medical facility at Eastdale Village. The facility will be specifically designed to provide treatment for patients with urology needs.

Last summer, the developer broke ground on Eastdale Village in partnership with Christopher C. Dyson and David Silver. Eastdale Village is a unique, smartgrowth-designed, walkable commercial and residential town center in Poughkeepsie spanning the Dutchess Turnpike (U.S. Route 44) between Arlington and Pleasant Valley.

Lewis graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with honors and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in business management from Johnson and Wales University.

Early experiences working under the guidance of legendary chefs like Jean Louis Palladin and Marco Pierre White strongly shaped Lewis’ culinary style.

OKO will be open Tuesday to Sunday for dinner service, expanding to offer lunch and to-go options soon after. The beverage program at OKO will also celebrate Japanese culture with seasonal, local ingredients.

Premier Medical Group will be the first business to come to Eastdale Village and will mark a significant expansion — to 27,000 square feet. The facility will serve as the urology headquarters for the practice while also keeping two satellite locations open in Rhinebeck and Fishkill.

The practice offers general urology services and urological sub-specialties that are typically only provided in major metropolitan areas, treating conditions such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, penile prosthesis, urinary incontinence, pelvic prolapse, infertility, erectile dysfunction, robotic and laparoscopic surgery and kidney

stone disease.

The new building brings these multiple sub-specialties, along with research, all under one roof to provide a seamless experience for patients who need to visit multiple doctors. The new facility will offer phlebotomy, radiology facilities, CAT scans and ultrasounds. The building will also feature private waiting lounges, allowing patients to wait for their physician and sit among patients with similar medical issues.

M&T Bank, led by Mark Stellwag and David DeVito, is providing construction financing for Premier Urology’s headquarters.

VNSW FOUNDATION TO HONOR ADVOCATES FOR SENIORS

William T. Smith, Matthew G. Anderson and Gera Looser.

Across the nation, seniors are the fastest-growing demographic. Westchester is graying, too: one in five people are 60 years or older and by 2030, one in four will fall into this group while 68% will have two or more chronic health conditions, according to the National Council on Aging. These trends are driving the increased demand for health care, creating a burgeoning need for the vital home health care services provided by VNS Westchester.

WCBJ

To help the nonprofit agency address these senior needs the VNSW Foundation will hold its 21st annual Spring Benefit Gala on Wednesday, May 15, 5:30 p.m., at Willow Ridge Country Club in Harrison honoring three key organization partners who work with VNSW to provide care and support for seniors. Ken Buffa, Westchester reporter at NBC 4 New York, will serve as emcee for the event.

The honorees are Aging in Amer-

ica Inc., William T. Smith, the organization’s president and CEO; Matthew G. Anderson, president and CEO of The Osborn; and Gera Looser, RN, of the VNSW Foundation.

Aging in America is a nonprofit advocacy group serving the elderly, which in 2017, awarded a $25,000 grant to VNSW to implement a sepsis-screening tool aimed at stemming the tide of the disease, which often afflicts older adults.

CST TO HONOR TWO VOLUNTEERS Friends, supporters and staff of Cancer Support Team (CST), which is headquartered in Purchase, will Celebrate Spring, May 9, at the Bronxville Field Club. Judy Boyle and Bonnie Gould, two volunteers will receive the Making Miracles Happen Award.

CST Board Chair Lisa Edmiston said, “Judy and Bonnie have been part of the fabric of CST for decades. Each has helped further our mission to enhance the lives of cancer patients and their families throughout southern Westchester. Whether volunteering to drive our patients to medical treatments or assisting with fund-raising events, both are dedicated to our cause and we want to publicly recognize their contributions and thank them for their years of service.”

Boyle of New Rochelle volunteered to visit cancer patients over 30 years ago and became full-time nurse when CST expanded.

ore than 200 real estate professionals, business owners and local officials were on hand for a special program focused on one of the biggest trends in commercial real estate – Opportunity Zones. The program, titled Behind the Headlines - What Opportunity Zones Really Mean for Westchester Real Estate, was presented on April 5 by the Business Council of Westchester, the Fordham Real Estate Institute and Westchester County Government.

The morning program began with remarks from Westchester County Executive George Latimer, who vowed to work with local municipalities to help them reap the biggest rewards possible from the federal program. “We each have a responsibility to help make our County the best it can be. We are dedicated partners to our cities and towns, and it will take partners to make a better Westchester,” he said.

According to the federal program, an Opportunity Zone is, “an economically-distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment.”

Panelists shared information on the Opportunity Zones in their municipality. Several speakers noted that the areas designated were not what they had expected. However, they all believed it would positively impact their communities.

“In New Rochelle, we have always set out to create certainty for investors,” said Luiz Aragon, Commissioner of Development for New Rochelle. “We are delighted to have Opportunity Zones in our community.

Westchester is the right choice to live and work, and our County has a very bright future.”

The most prominent sentiment of the day was that Opportunity Zones are providing a positive spotlight on the County. “Opportunity Zones have brought attention to our cities and towns and have put them back in the media,” said Wilson Kimball, Commissioner of Planning and Development for Yonkers. “It helps us be on people’s minds and lets them know that Westchester is here to invest in,” she added.

“I want to give my colleagues, our partners at the Business Council our Westchester, along with

Westchester County, a big thank you,” said Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of the BCW. “Opportunity Zones represent the biggest trend to impact commercial real estate in years and have been talked about everywhere. But until now, it’s been hard to get a full picture. We are all better off now thanks to the insights of some of the brightest minds in the industry.”

Opportunity Zones have brought attention to our cities and towns and have put them back in the media The panels featured speakers from RM Friedland, Belpointe REIT, Stewart Title, Halpern Real Estate Ventures, Marks Paneth, Avison Young, Herrick Feinstein LLP, Empire State Development, Center for Housing Solutions and Urban Initiatives, Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress, City of New Rochelle, Mount Vernon IDA, City of Peekskill; Town of Mount Pleasant, City of White Plains and Village of Port Chester.

SUMMER WITH THE AVERYS

Liz Evoy

NEW ADDITION TO BAVIER DESIGN TEAM

Milton Avery (American, 1885-1965). Swimmers and Sunbathers, 1945. Oil on canvas, 28 x 48 1/4 in. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Roy R. Neuberger, 1951 (51.97). © 2019.

On May 11, the Bruce Museum will open Summer with the Averys. Featuring landscapes, seascapes, beach scenes and figural compositions as well as rarely seen travel sketchbooks the exhibition takes an innovative approach to the superb work produced by the Avery family. Along with canonical paintings by Milton Avery, the show offers a unique opportunity to become acquainted with

the remarkable art created by Avery’s wife Sally and their daughter March.

In the summer of 1924, while painting in the fishing port and artist’s colony of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Avery met young artist Sally Michel, whom he would marry less than two years later. They would return to Gloucester and elsewhere in New England for summer visits during the following decade, sometimes

with close friends Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.

The exhibit will be an opportunity to discover not only what Rothko referred to in 1965 as Avery’s “repertoire . . . his wife Sally, his daughter, March, the beaches and mountains where they summered,” but to observe the creative interaction of this exceptional family of artists.

AUTHOR TO HEADLINE CENTER FOR HOPE LUNCHEON The Center for HOPE in Darien will welcome author Mary Cregan as the keynote speaker for its 2019 annual luncheon Wednesday, May 8. The event will be held at 11 a.m. at Wee Burn Beach Club in Rowayton.

In her new book, “The Scar: A Personal History of Depression and Recovery,” Cregan shares her inspirational story of overcoming mental illness and the tenacity she found within herself to rebuild her life from the ground up.

Shortly after the death of her newborn daughter, she sank into a depression so deep she required hospitalization. A failed suicide attempt while admitted to a locked unit was the low point of her long and arduous path to recovery. The scar from that suicide attempt serves not only as a reminder of her darkest days, but also how far she has come.

Longtime Family Centers Board Member, former Board Chair and Darien resident Jan Dilenschneider will also be honored with the Ray of HOPE Award.

For many years, Dilenschneider has made Family Centers and the Center for
