White Plains apartment complex opens; more on the way

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.comt

The Halden, an apartment complex that has repurposed part of the RPW Group's office park property at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains had its formal opening on July 11 as the city's Common Council was set to vote at its regular August meeting on a special permit for another apartment complex in a different part of town.

Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin A. Dillon on his agency's first 10 years

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

This month marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of the Connecticut Airport Authority, the quasi-public agency that operates Bradley International Airport and five of the state’s general aviation airports.

In observance of the agency’s first decade, the Business Journals spoke with Kevin A. Dillon, who has served as the CAA’s executive director since its launch.

First, congratulations on the tenth anniversary of the CAA. What inspired the agency’s creation?

It was legislation back in 2011 that

created the CAA as a quasi-public agency. At that time, Gov. Malloy and the state legislature felt the aviation assets here in the state were not being maximized – the state-owned airports were being run by the DOT. And that's not to say that the DOT didn't have capable people. It was that the DOT was subjected to a lot of onerous policies and procedures as a state agency, so that's why Gov. Malloy and the legislature felt it would be better to put those assets under a quasi-public agency that could react a little bit more nimbly and a little quicker.

The aviation world is a very dynamic world – things change fast, airlines need answers, developers need quick answers

in order to invest in facilities. And that's what the CAA brings to the table. I was hired as the executive director in June of 2012, shortly after the legislation and the board were put together, and I spent the first year working with the FAA to get the approvals to transfer the airport sponsorship from the State of Connecticut to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

And what is the state of Bradley International Airport today?

With Bradley, we've made great advances over the past 10 years. We’ve had year-over-year passenger growth every year that we've been in existence,

Dramatically different projects underway in Yorktown

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

Two development proposals with very different objectives recently received approvals by Yorktown officials. Both will offer sleeping accommodations, but one will feature luxury for humans while the other is especially designed for some very special canines.

The Planning Board gave its approval for the construction of the town’s first boutique hotel in the Yorktown Heights business corridor to be known as The Gardena. The hotel became possible when in 2021 the Town Board voted to adopt overlay districts in the Yorktown Heights and Lake Osceola business hamlets. The overlay districts were intended to expand the types of new development that would be allowed. as being a small, luxury hotel that does not have more than 25 rooms and that offers an enhanced level of services with unique accommodations. The Gardena will be in a three-story structure at 1952 Commerce St. at the corner of Veterans Road and Commerce. It will have 18 rooms along with a café, a rooftop bar and grill and off-street parking.

At 3241 Crompond Road (Route 202) in Yorktown Heights, Guiding Eyes for the Blind is moving ahead with plans to construct a new 30,000-square-foot two-story

seller was represented by Garry Klein, managing director of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial. The buyer was represented by William Cuddy Jr. and Jacqueline Novotny, both affiliated with CBRE.

Joseph Riina of Site Design Consultants explained to the Planning Board that the proposed hotel would use existing parking spaces on the property. The existing building would be demolished and the proposed building will overlap the footprint of the existing building and some of the parking. The main entry to the building will face Veterans Road. The Commerce Street side will have a prominent clock tower feature with an interior stairwell. A patio area is proposed on the Veterans Road side which is adjacent to the café that is to be located on the first floor. Riina said that the developer believes there is ample parking available in the vicinity of the proposed hotel and that would make up for the proposal including fewer parking spaces than required by code.

After a zoning text amendment was approved by the Town Board, Guiding Eyes was able to go ahead and submit its site plan application to the Planning Board.

Attorney David Steinmetz of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz noted that Guiding Eyes has been operating in Yorktown at their existing facility located

ing facility which would accommodate up to 200 dogs. He noted that while the proposed facility is similar to the Granite Springs facility, it will be further advanced in technology and noise control.

Tom Panek, president and CEO of Guiding Eyes, who is blind, said that the organization has been around since 1956 and they continue to care about the community. He said that they have taken a thoughtful approach to this proposal and the property. Panek was accompanied at a Planning Board meeting by his guide dog named Blaze, who showed the good manners taught by Guiding Eyes by quietly relaxing on the floor.

Riina, who is an engineering consultant for the Guiding Eyes project as well as for the boutique hotel, explained that to the north of the Guiding Eyes site is the Lowe’s shopping center and Old Crompond Road. A storage center, BJ’s and Signs Ink also are next to the site. To the south are residential properties which are accessed off Carpenter Road that borders the southern property line of the site. The Guiding Eyes site is currently improved with a single-family dwelling that has been abandoned for quite some time. Other than the area around the existing residence, most of the site is wooded with some mature trees. A wetland bounds the west, north, and east

with the exception of the pandemic from 2020 into 2021. Just prior to the pandemic, we were handling about 7 million passengers per year, and that makes us a goodsized medium-hub airport.

If you look in terms of nonstop destinations, we've grown nonstop destinations at Bradley by 30% to 35%. We're able to bring transcontinental and transatlantic service to the airport, as well, and we've made a lot of improvements — the most visible improvement is our Ground Transportation Center, a $210 million project that substantially enhanced how rental cars are obtained. We've also undertaken an additional $74 million worth of runway and taxiway improvements and another $87 million with roadway upgrades and realignment.

We are now undertaking two very large projects. One is a checked baggage screening system that we're going to build — that's a $151 million project that will allow us to have people check in directly at an airline ticket counter, have their bags checked, and they're taken away and then they're processed remotely. Versus today, where people have to check in at the airline ticket counter, then drag their bag over to a TSA

screening machine to undergo the security check. We're also investing another roughly $58 million into the terminal building to enhance passenger circulation throughout the building — that's also being done with an eye towards enhancing overall capacity of the building, so that we can defer construction of a new major terminal year well into the future. Because if you were to build a new terminal, you're talking well in excess of a billion-dollar investment.

Bradley Airport is now supporting well over 20,000 jobs here in the state. So, when you're talking about a state the size of Connecticut, that's a significant economic impact. And I think some of the things that we've done as the airport authority have really led to national recognition — last year, the Conde Nast readers’ poll ranked it as the second-best airport in the U.S., and we were also recognized by USA Today's Readers’ Choice Award as the seventh best small airport in the country.

Since the beginning of the summer, there have been a lot of news stories about problems at airports across the country, with flights being canceled and delayed. Have these hiccups impacted Bradley?

I think every airport gets impacted because this is a unified system. So, if New York airports are having a problem or Baltimore's having a problem, aircrafts rotate through those airports all day long. So, if a flight is delayed getting into New York and then it ultimately goes from

New York to Raleigh-Durham and then it makes a flight up from Raleigh-Durham to Bradley, that is going to impact that flight because the aircraft that's been on that circuit all day long got impacted by that stop it had to make in New York.

But when you look at delays or cancellations that emanate as a result of operations at a given airport, Bradley has one of the best track records here in the country. For example, we're frequently cited during snow season — our snow removal process allows us to keep the airport open when many other airports may have to close during winter storms.

And how are things at the other airports operated by your agency?

We've been very successful, particularly at Waterbury-Oxford Airport. We've gotten a lot of private investment made into that airport and we've been able to pull quite a bit of traffic from general aviation traffic from New York as a result of some of the investments and developments. We also operate Groton-New London that's another what's called Part 139 Airport, meaning we have a certificate there to bring commercial air service passenger to the airport. We are working towards trying to get an airline to start service at GrotonNew London Airport.

We also operate Hartford-Brainard Airport, Wyndham Airport and Danielson Airport. When you look at the economic impact of those five general aviation airports, they're generating about $410 million worth of economic impact here in the state as well.

Groton-New London Airport had commercial service at one time. What type of airlines are you looking for at that facility? And do you think that this would be a viable destination for a commercial carrier?

We're talking about what I call niche service. We're looking for a carrier that will connect Groton-New London into the greater aviation system — for example, that could be a flight from New London into Philadelphia, where there would be great access to the American Airlines system out of Philadelphia. For the businesses that are located down in that area, to have a carrier like American or Delta or any number of carriers to start a level of service out of Groton-New London into one of their hubs is really what we're after.

For a number of years, there were flights from the shoreline to Philadelphia from Tweed New Haven Airport, although that venue now has a wider range of flights courtesy of Avelo Airlines. What is the CAA’s relationship like with Tweed?

We do not own or operate Tweed — that's owned by the city of New Haven and

operated by the Tweed New Haven Airport Authority. Our only relationship there is that we have regulatory oversight over all of the airports here in Connecticut, whether we own them or not — that's a responsibility we inherited from the DOT.

There is no direct relationship, so to speak, although it's something that I do caution folks about quite often because service development needs to be coordinated between Tweet New Haven and Bradley. Because you don't want Tweed doing something that's going to impact Bradley's market and vice versa. The service level development should be coordinated between both airports.

What is the status of CAA's relation with Sikorsky Memorial Airport, which is located in Stratford but owned by the city of Bridgeport?

We continue to talk to the city of Bridgeport. At one time, we were interested in potentially acquiring the airport, but our due diligence got us to back away from that because of the costs involved in potential environmental cleanup related to the transfer act. But we are still talking about the potential of an operating agreement, meaning the CAA would operate the airport on behalf of the city of Bridgeport.

While we’re looking back at the first 10 years of the CAA, what is the agency going to be doing for the next 10 years? What do you have anything on your upcoming agenda that you're able to preview?

We're going to continue to invest into the infrastructure at Bradley Airport and we're constantly looking to improve our service. Everything we do there — whether it's updating our restaurants or bringing an actual new concession — is always done with an eye towards how is this going to benefit the passenger experience at Bradley.

One of the specific things we really want to work on over the next couple of years is enhancing our international network out of Bradley. We're also going to be working to enhance our long-haul domestic route network, and a primary focus there is to get service into Seattle. But that doesn't mean we're not going to focus on what I'll call the medium haul destinations — to add cities like Austin or Milwaukee. That would do quite a bit to our route network.

The cornerstone of any airport is how healthy is your airline system. Because the more routes you add, the more seats you add — and the more seats you add, the more passengers you can accommodate the more passengers you accommodate and. And that's what allows us to continue to invest into the aviation system here in Connecticut, if we can continue to develop that revenue stream.

Danbury Fair Mall hosts summer pop-ups with local businesses

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Throughout this summer and into the autumn, the Danbury Fair Mall will partner with All Things and More Pop-Up Boutiques to host a series of pop-up events featuring local small businesses.

The first event was held on July 1 and featured vendors from across Fairfield County and surrounding areas who sold goods ranging from jewelry to fresh popcorn and handmade soaps on the first floor of the mall.

“Danbury Fair has historically been a site where we try to do events and activities in the mall to activate local operators,” said Maura Ruby, the general manager of the mall. “This pop-up concept is something that we really focus on to elevate brands that are really local or home-grown businesses, giving them an opportunity to get visibility in a premier

regional town center. It also provides us with an opportunity to entertain our customers with different and creative uses.”

According to Ruby, the pop-ups are a powerful tool for providing new experiences to visitors while also enabling the mall to highlight its worth to potential new tenants. It also presented an opportunity for cross promotion, with the mall showcasing small businesses offering unique products while those businesses were able to draw their dedicated base to the mall.

“Everything is so easy,” said Sueli Modes of Pure by Sue as customers perused her hand-made soaps. “I was here last year, and it was a great experience for me. I’m surrounded by great people here.”

Also appreciative of the exposure was Rose Correa, founder of the cosmetics vendor Amazonian SkinFood.

“I know there is a huge Brazilian community in this area, and I’m more on the coast so I thought it was really great to get

my message to more Brazilians because they know these ingredients, and this is also the community that we help with the profits from our products,” said Correa.

Building community is also a primary focus of All Things and More, the chief organizers of the pop-up series. Kristine Rodriguez, a co-owner at All Things and More Pop-Up, said that a key part of building up for the events is using their own social media to promote the events involved businesses while encouraging organic cross promotion.

“We create a group chat with all the vendors that are participating,” Rodriguez said. “Our goal is creating a community with small businesses, allowing them to expose their brands and feel comfortable to come up and ask questions like ‘how do I register my business?’ We want to create a community of different small businesses so that they can network with each other and learn from each other.”

Rodriguez and her co-founder Natalia

Santana both have businesses of their own, but they launched All Things and More after organizing a handful of popup events and realizing that they were both increasingly popular with the public and in demand among the many people launching businesses in recent years.

Vendor participation in the Danbury Mall events only requires a $125 fee, and the vendors who are accepted receive a day in a prime location with logistical support, along with flyers and a social media blitz. Their products then appear alongside a curated group of vendors, selected by Santana and Rodriguez to avoid overlapping offerings.

Rodriguez said that they have grander ambitions for future events as well.

“The biggest event we’ve had was close to 30, and that’s our goal for the mall,” she stated. “We want to basically take over the lower level all the way across, we want to have enough vendors where we can reach the other side of the mall.”

The special permit would allow for the third phase of the Brookfield Commons project to move forward. Brookfield Commons is a joint venture of the White Plains Housing Authority and Trinity Financial at the 9.3-acre site of the Winbrook Houses public housing development. It was conceived to replace the aging five apartment buildings in Winbrook.

The second phase of the redevelopment was completed in April of last year with the opening of a new 9-story building with 129 apartments. The $64 million building has been named “The Overture.” The first Brookfield Commons phase was completed in 2016 and has 103 affordable apartments in a 9-story building that cost $42 million. The third building would be in an “L” shape with an 11-story section and a 9-story section and contain 174 apartments.

Thomas Brown, vice president of development for Trinity, told the Business Journals that it’s expected that the third building would cost approximately $100 million.

“We’re very happy with the progress. We’re really enjoying our partnership with the Housing Authority and the residents and the City of White Plains,” Brown said. “Our philosophy is to maximize the amount of affordable housing. We know how important high-quality, affordable housing is. We also want to build strong communities.”

Brown said that the architecture of the building and equipping of the apartments

will be on a par with the other development that is taking place in White Plains.

“We believe that there should be no difference in he quality of an affordable housing unit and a market-rate unit,” Brown said. “We fell that our residents deserve the same level of quality as residents n market-rate buildings. The new residents who come into our community really appreciate that.”

Brown indicated that while the Brookfield Commons concept called for replacing the five original Winbrook buildings, there may ultimately be a sixth building as part of Brookfield Commons.

“We’re still working through the master plan for the site, but it could be five or six and the project also is going to include green space,” Brown said. “This is in line with what we’ve developed in our projects up and down the Northeast Corridor.”

For White Plains Mayor Tom Roach, the opening of The Halden and the progress made in the Brookfield Commons development are fresh signs of the city’s success in bringing in a variety of housing developments that include Gateway II that is under construction on Hamilton Avenue near the Metro-North station, The Mitchell that recently opened, Hamilton Green on the site of the former White Plains Mall, the anticipated redevelopment of The Galleria site, conversion and new construction at the former AT&T site at 440 Hamilton Ave., and a workforce housing project planned for 8 Chester Ave.

“You don’t get these projects unless you have a city that is attractive to people: they want to live here, shop here, businesses want to locate here,” Roach told the Business Journals. “We are constantly focusing on the next step, how to we make

things better. I think it’s paying off. The variety of projects that we have happening here right now is pretty astounding. We are leading the way on affordable housing so we are incorporating that into all of these projects.”

Roach said that his experience during a lifetime of familiarity with White Plains is that people from all economic strata have been welcome and as mayor he’s been working to ensure that continues.

“A federal housing rolled out in the 40s and 50s it created islands,” Roach said in describing the often isolated public housing from those days. “They were very stark, not architecturally friendly. Everyone is entitled to wake up in a place that’s safe and clean and that they’re proud to call home.”

The Halden is a three-building complex that was built on an approximately 20-acre section of the RPW Group’s 70-acre office park at 1133 Westchester Ave. by RPW and Cleveland-based The NRP Group. Jonathan Gertman, senior vice president of development for NRP, said that the complex already was approximately 50% leased as of the official opening.

The Halden features a mix of 178 one-bedroom apartments, 115 two-bedroom and 10 three-bedroom apartments. Nineteen of the units are priced in the affordable category for people making 60% of the Westchester Area Median Income.

At the opening day ceremony, Gertman expressed what he termed “deep pride and satisfaction” with the way the construction went. He also recalled that the Covid pandemic impacted the construction timeline when New York state imposed restrictions on various business activities.

“We worked socially distanced, we had supply chain issues,” Gertman said. “We had a 400% spike in lumber costs. In the end, that is not going to be the story of The Halden. To me, the indelible takeaway of this project is working together to do something significant and worthy under challenging circumstances.”

Gertman said that when the city created an overlay zone to allow new uses at office park sites, it laid the groundwork for the project. He also said that the support of the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency was vital to making the project happen.

Roach said that years ago city leaders saw an issue developing with corporate parks along I-287 and in other parts of the county and that more flexibility was called for in deciding what could and could not be done at those properties.

“That’s when the overlay came up, that’s when it was put in place, and this is a great example of what we had in mind,” Roach said. Roach said that he foresees people living at The Halden who will walk across the parking lot to their jobs in the 1133 office building.

Appellate court says faulty Rye Brook home inspection not grossly negligent

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

An appellate court has upheld a decision by a Westchester Supreme Court judge who found that a home inspection company was not grossly negligent when it failed to detect cracked concrete and termite infestation.

Jonathan Seti and Rorie Katz accused Carnell Associates Inc., Valhalla, of gross negligence in 2018 and demanded $250,000 to fix their new home in Rye Brook.

In 2017, the couple had paid Carnell Associates $525 to inspect a house they wanted to buy on Terrace Court.

The contract called for a limited visual inspection of apparent conditions in easily accessible areas, inside and outside, and included a certified termite inspection.

Seti and Katz accompanied inspector Edward von Briesen on the survey of the three bedroom, 2 bath, 1,522-square-foot house.

The following day, Carnell issued a report finding that “the structure appears to be in sound condition from visible evidence in accessible areas” and “no visible evidence of termite infestation.”

Relying on the inspection report, the couple stated in their lawsuit, they bought the house for $450,000.

They soon became aware of structural problems, according to their lawsuit, and six months after they bought the property they hired a structural engineer to inspect the house. The new inspector found cracks in a concrete slab, standing water in one room, a sagging ceiling and signs of termite or insect damage in exterior walls.

The couple also claimed they had found layers of carpet padding that had been installed to conceal structural damage to the floors and foundation, and a can of paint that matched an area damaged by termites that had been painted over.

The structural engineer estimated that it would cost $250,000 to fix the house, according to the lawsuit, and the couple would have to leave for months while it was being repaired.

“But for the gross negligence of Carnell Associates,” the couple claimed, they “would not have purchased the premises.”

Carnell’s contract had limited its liability to the cost of its services, $525. But a party cannot insulate itself from damages, court records state, that are caused by grossly negligent conduct.

Seti and Katz claimed that Carnell Associates was grossly negligent.

Carnell broadly denied wrongdoing in its formal answer to the allegations and placed some of the blame for the conditions on the home’s previous owner.

The inspector explained that he did not see evidence of termite or concrete damage because of the placement of carpeting, according to court records, and he was prevented by industry standards and practices from pulling up carpet as part of an inspection.

Carnell’s expert witness asserted that the inspection was complete under industry standards and the contract limitations.

The couple’s expert witness concluded that the damages were readily apparent and observable, the inspector was reckless

and the inspection report was inadequate.

Citing a legal precedent in a July 2020 decision, Westchester Supreme Court Justice Mary H. Smith noted that “gross negligence means a failure to use even slight care, or conduct that is so careless as to show complete disregard for the rights and safety of others.”

Seti and Katz, she said, had not established gross negligence. She granted summary judgement for Carnell and dismissed the case.

Date: 07/17/2023

The couple appealed to the Second Appellate Division in Brooklyn.

conduct must smack of intentional wrongdoing or evince a reckless indifference to the rights of others,” the justices said in quoting a 2010 decision by the court. The 2010 ruling, coincidentally, also concerned allegations against Carnell Associates about a home inspection.

In the current case, the justices ruled, the evidence submitted by Carnell demonstrated that the inspection “was not so defective as to evince a reckless indifference to the rights of others or a failure to exercise even slight care.”

What you need to know about sun protection for kids

BY LEAH ANSELL, M.D., F.A.A.D.

As we head into the thick of summer, we’re all reminded of the need for sunscreen. But the group that perhaps needs it most is often too hard to pin down for the application – too busy playing softball or building sandcastles or just running around having fun being kids.

What’s a parent to do?

Follow these tips:

1.

The best SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for kids is UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) clothing – Good long-sleeved rash guards, wide-brimmed hats and longer shorts are the best and easiest sun coverage and most effective.

Use mineral sunscreen – I prefer mineral sunscreen for kids that contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Ideally, look for a product that is higher in zinc than titanium. Zinc is the best broad spectrum UV absorber and has the best UVA AND UVB coverage. (Most sunscreens are great at UVB coverage, which protects against burns, but not as good at UVA coverage, which protects against photo-aging, freckling and wrinkling down the line.)

That said, the best sunscreen is the sunscreen children will actually use - Though I have my favorites — see below — if it turns into a huge deal for it to be applied, then apply what they will actually use and reapply.

Reapply sunscreen often – This is very important. Though sunscreens may say water — and sweat-resistant, in real life, sunblock easily wipes off or thins out in certain areas. Make sure to reapply sunscreen after the kids have been in the water and towel dry.

3. 4. 5.

Carry an SPF zinc - oxide stick in your bag — This is my quick summer hack— it's so easy to use and not messy — for when you're out and about and need to apply some more SPF, or it's sunnier than you anticipated.

6. 7.

Reconsider sunscreen spray –I don’t love sprays. They go on unevenly and there is some concern about aerosolized particles getting into the lungs. But older kids tend to like them. If you are going to use a spray, apply it in an outdoor area away from other people. Legs are a good place to apply it, because they are far from the face. Make sure to rub the sunscreen in very well after applying.

8. 2.

Avoid SPF and use only UPF protective clothing for babies under 6 months - It is generally recommended to avoid sunscreen lotion for babies until after they are 6 months old. However, if the baby will be in the sun, I am fine with small amounts of mineral sunblock that contains mostly zinc oxide. Zinc is not absorbed in the skin and is the same ingredient in diaper paste, so this is a good option and safest for small babies.

Ideally, use an SPF of 50 or higher. - We used to say SPF 30 is good enough, but there has been some recent data showing better coverage with higher SPFs, so I do try to recommend 50 and above, especially if kids are out in sun a lot. Some examples of sunscreen lotion products I like are Eucerin Sensitive Mineral Zinc Oxide Protection, SPF 50 https://www.eucerinus.com. Some examples of sunscreen sticks I like are Blue Lizard Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ https://bluelizardsunscreen.com. Aveno Positively Mineral SPF 50; https:// www.aveeno.com and Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Face & Body. https://www.target.com

How to cut home sale losses when employees relocate

Employees relocating for work can face financial loss in a “forced” home sale. Here are some ways to eliminate or minimize the negative financial impact of the move.

From the Employee’s Side

These are the tax consequences for the employee when:

The employer reimburses the employee's financial loss. Here, the employer has the home appraised and agrees to pay the employee the difference between the appraised fair market value and any lesser amount the employee gets on the sale. Such reimbursement would also cover the employee's costs of the sale.

Financial loss, as described here, is not the same as a tax loss. The financial loss is the home's value less what the employee collects under "forced sale" conditions. However, the value is not always clearly determined, and the relocating employee might think the home is worth more based on earlier appraisals or comparative sales. A tax loss is the property's tax basis (cost plus capital investments) less what's collected on the sale.

If the employee has a gain on the sale (the amount collected on the sale exceeds the basis), the gain can be tax-exempt up to $250,000 ($500,000 on certain sales by married couples) if certain criteria are met. However, tax loss on the sale of a personal residence is not deductible. (But if part of

the home is rented out or used exclusively for the homeowner’s business, the loss attributable to that portion may be deductible, subject to various limitations.)

The employer's reimbursement of the employee's financial loss is taxable pay to the employee. Employers who want to shelter the employee from any tax burden on an employer-instigated relocation may "gross up" the reimbursement to cover the tax. But gross-up can be costly. For example, a grossed-up income tax reimbursement for a $10,000 loss would be $15,385 for an employee in the 35% bracket — more where Social Security and/or state taxes are also grossed-up.

Employer buys the home. Few employers directly buy and sell employees' homes. But many do this indirectly, effectively becoming homeowners through relocation firms acting as the employers' agents. Known as a Guaranteed Home Sale (formerly known as a Guaranteed Buy-Out or GBO), there is no tax on the employee when using either of these two options:

• Option 1. The relocation firm, as the employer's agent, buys the home for its appraised fair market value and later resells it. The firm collects a fee from the employer, covering sales costs and any financial loss to the firm on resale. The IRS now says that this fee is not taxable to the employee. Also,

the employee's gain on the sale to the relocation firm qualifies for the tax exemption under the limits described above ($250,000 or $500,000).

• Option 2. The relocation firm offers to buy the home for its appraised value, but the employee can pursue a higher price through a broker they choose from a list provided by the relocation firm. If a higher offer is made, the relocation firm pays that price to the employee (whether or not the home is then sold to that bidder). Again, the employee is not taxed on the firm's fee, and the gain is tax-exempt under the above limits.

Either option works for the employees, letting them realize full value on the sale of the home (with possibly greater value through Option 2) without an element of taxable pay.

But if the deal is structured so that the relocation firm facilitates a sale from the employee to a third-party buyer (rather than to the relocation firm), the employer's payment of the relocation firm's fee is taxable to the employee.

From the Employer's Side

Here are the tax consequences for employers: Reimbursing the employee's loss. This is fully deductible as a business expense, as would be any additional

amount paid as a gross-up. But it may be more costly, before and after taxes, than buying the home for resale through a relocation firm.

Paying the relocation fee only, without buying the home, is also fully deductible, as would be any gross-up amount on that fee.

Buying the home. The change in the IRS rule was good news for employees, but it gave nothing to employers whose tax treatment wasn't covered. The official IRS position is that employer costs (other than carrying costs such as mortgage interest, maintenance, and fees to a relocation management company) are deductible only as capital losses, which, for corporate employers, are deductible only against capital gains. Taxpayer advocates tend to argue that employer costs here are fully deductible ordinary costs of doing business.

Yonkers company sued for $488,000 for ginkgo biloba imports

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Two Chinese companies are demanding that a Yonkers dietary supplements company pay nearly $500,000 for shipments of ginkgo biloba powder.

China Export and Credit Insurance Corp., also known as Sinosure, and Hefei Reachever Import and Export Ltd. petitioned U.S. District Court, White Plains on June 28 to enforce an arbitration ruling against API International Group for breach of a 2019 supply agreement.

Sharif Omar, the president of API, did not reply to an email asking for his side of the story.

API imports ingredients, according to the petition, then resells the substances to an affiliated company that makes dietary

supplements for sale outside of the United States.

API’s address at the Highridge Plaza on Central Park Avenue, as shown on a state corporation record, appears to be a UPS store that has a mailbox service.

Sinosure had paid an insurance claim to Hefei, the company that exported powdered ginkgo extract to API.

Ginkgo biloba advocates believe that the herbal supplement confers a wide variety of health benefits, such as enhanced cognitive performance and better blood circulation.

Importers must demonstrate the purity, strength and composition of ingredients used in dietary supplements, according to the arbitration ruling, and substances that fail to conform with U.S. Food and Drug Administration criteria are considered misbranded and adulterated.

The FDA samples imports at U.S. ports

to determine if they comply with its standards, the arbitration ruling states, but FDAregistered exporters have fewer inspections.

In 2017, the FDA issued a tougher standard for powdered ginkgo extract.

Hefei got its ginkgo from Dongling Health Food Co. But Dongling was unable to comply with the tougher FDA standard and Hefei was unable to find another Chinese producer.

API decided to proceed with the imports, according to the arbitration ruling, and instructed Hefei to insert the name of another exporter that was registered with the FDA, “to lessen the risk of a spot inspection.”

API accepted several shipments, according to the arbitration report, but failed to pay for two.

API initiated the arbitration case with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution.

The Yonkers company contended that it had not authorized Dongling to make the ginkgo biloba powder and claimed that the products it received were adulterated and unusable. It demanded $1,375,251 for lost profits and various costs.

API also claimed it was blacklisted by Sinosure, leaving it unable to do business with Chinese manufacturers insured by Sinosure.

Hefei contended that the products were not adulterated and API got what it bargained for.

The arbitrator dismissed API’s claims against Hefei and Sinosure and ruled that API must pay Hefei $473,855 for unpaid shipments, legal fees and other expenses.

API has refused to honor the arbitration ruling, according to Sinosure and Hefei, and they are asking the federal court to confirm the award.

Caring for the caregivers at Northern Westchester Hospital

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA ggouveia@westfairinc.com

With

In 2006, the then stay-at-home mother of four cared for her father, James Barker, as he was dying of heart disease. Twelve years later, she would nurse husband Paul Travers through his fatal battle with metastatic renal cancer. In between, the caregiver would be cared for as she successfully struggled with breast cancer (2013-14).

“I had had all these experiences,” she recalled. “The caregiving center was my lifeline.”

That would be Northern Westchester Hospital’s Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center in Mount Kisco, where Travers became a trained volunteer in 2008-09 and ultimately its program manager, succeeding founding program manager Jerri Rosenfeld in January. It was a case of perfect timing, Travers said, as Rosenfeld was retiring, and Travers was newly armed with a master’s degree in social work from Fordham University. (The Bronx native had earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from what is now Iona University and spent her early career with the advertising agencies Benton & Bowles and Jordan, McGrath, Case & Taylor.)

Now she heads a center that has become the template for 24 similar facilities at hospitals across the country, including Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, which like Northern Westchester Hospital is part of Northwell Health; six Northwell Health hospitals on Long Island; Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains; White Plains Hospital, part of Montefiore Einstein; three Montefiore Einstein hospitals in the Bronx; Danbury Hospital and Norwalk Hospital, part of Nuvance Health; Stamford Hospital; and Staten Island University Hospital. Among the other hospitals in the Caregiving Center Consortium are the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania,

Stanford Medical Center and the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

The number of these centers has grown steadily since Marian Hamilton founded Northern Westchester Hospital’s program in 2006 — spurred by caring for husband Ken, who died of mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer often associated with asbestos exposure, in 2004, and raising funds that were matched by the hospital. (The physical Ken Hamilton Caregivers Center — a 900-square-foot dedicated space featuring a cozy hybrid work area, a room with a massage chair, a tranquility room with Zen décor and Travers’ office, with its library of resources opened in 2007.)

The need for such places is exploding. According to the Urban Institute, the number of Americans ages 65 and older will have more than doubled by 2040, reaching 80 million. The number of adults ages 85 and older, the group most often needing help with basic personal care, will have nearly quadrupled by then. Because younger people work and pay the taxes that finance Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid

private-paying situation,” she said, adding that this can be mitigated by long-term care insurance, whose premiums costs thousands of dollars per year.

Navigating such concerns, along with the hospital, is the job of Travers and her team of trained volunteers, who go room to room at Northern Westchester Hospital each day. (There are 10 volunteers – a third of the number there were before Covid — plus Jill Gottlieb, replications specialist, who coordinates with the other caregiving centers on the consortium’s biannual symposia and other issues; and Shqipe Lulanaj, lead administrative support coordinator.)

The team’s first mandate at the start of the day? Reassuring the caregiver. “We say, ‘We know the hospital is taking care of the patient,’” Travers said. “ ‘We’re here to take care of you.’” The response, she added, is a sense of relief and a lightening of being, knowing that there are people to help educate the caregiver about the road ahead and to facilitate communications between the caregiver and the case manager. Such help doesn’t end with the hospital stay.

and other “entitlements” you are entitled to an aging population means fewer workers and thus a greater strain on these programs.

Unless you are wealthy or poor, in which case Medicaid will pay to have a family member care for you, you and your caregiver are likely to be caught in what Travers called “the middle of the (caregiving) doughnut.” (Congress passed the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act in 2018, which established the Family Caregiving Advisory Council, tasked with creating the country's first national Family Caregiver Strategy. But that doesn’t help in the short term.)

The bottom line: “Custodial care is a

“Once you’re discharged, we don’t want to lose track of you,” she said. The Stay in Touch aspect of the program is designed to ensure that caregivers are able to cope with one of the greatest challenges of the role — isolation. Travers said the program has served 95,845 caregivers since it began.

What she has learned — what she would like others to take away from the center — is that “we can’t control life’s twists and turns. But we can reach out for support. There is support. We feel grateful to do the work that we do.”

Navigating caregiving – one woman’s journey

BY ABBE UDOCHI

Embarking on caring for an aging parent is an experience that often takes unexpected twists and turns. It is a path filled with challenges and rewards, where you must navigate surprises, disappointments and the evolving needs of a loved one. The story of Lynn Godfrey — executive vice president and chief marketing officer of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which has offices in Manhattan, Rye Brook and Stamford — offers valuable insights and lessons.

My conversations with Lynn have placed us on a profound journey together. Over time, she shared with me the challenges she faced in her new and unexpected role as family caregiver. Now, five years later, we still collaborate, dedicated to coordinating exceptional care for her 91-year-old mother, Yvette Richardson, who eventually became the first client of my business, Concierge Healthcare Consulting in New Rochelle:

A journey unplanned

In 2017, Yvette, then in her mid-80s, fell and fractured her ankle. The incident revealed cognitive decline and physical health issues that needed attention. Lynn brought her from Arizona to New York, where she had a support network and con-

nections. Yet while Lynn expected her mother to recognize the need for a changed living arrangement, any constructive dialogue was hindered by her mother’s independent spirit and insistence on self-sufficiency. Lynn knew that her mother’s decision-making ability was decreasing and she needed to step in, but the path ahead was unclear.

Lynn had her mother move in with her and managed care at home, relying on her own resources and support systems. She considered assisted living, but the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic ended that search. Lynn and her then high school-age daughter created a bubble of care to prioritize her mother's needs as difficulty retaining consistent home health aides altered the course.

As time went on, Lynn realized that their system at home was no longer sustainable. The increasing decline in her mother's physical and cognitive health necessitated greater professional intervention. The financial burden became overwhelming when Lynn had to factor in her daughter’s college education. Though she explored Medicaid options to pay for home health aides, as her mother’s dementia exacerbated her physical condition, it became clear that nursing-home care was the best option.

Lynn said she now sees the importance of having open, proactive conversations with aging parents before a medical cri-

sis occurs, even though engaging in these conversations may require assertiveness, not deference. Taking the initiative to discuss advance directives, powers of attorney, identification documents like birth certificates, financial management, housing options and health insurance can avoid difficulties down the road.

Observing early signs of cognitive decline is also important. Looking back, Lynn said she regretted not initiating discussions sooner. Like many, she relied on an assumption of a forthcoming rational conversation that never materialized. Today she encourages others to be proactive, observant and compassionate, recognizing that caregiving can be influenced by the individual personalities and family dynamics at play.

The role of support and self-care

Caregiving takes a huge emotional and physical toll. The caregiver needs support whether through self-care practices, professional assistance or legal and financial guidance. Lynn found tremendous relief when she enlisted my help as a geriatric care manager to provide support in referrals to other professionals, direction about the next steps and making decisions.

Lynn's caregiving journey for her aging mother has been transformative. From the

struggle to initiate difficult conversations about planning and decision-making to the financial costs and the unexpected pandemic, Lynn waded through uncharted territory with determination and love. By sharing her story, Lynn hopes to inspire and empower others. With compassion, resilience and proactive planning, caregivers can overcome hurdles, make informed decisions and provide the best possible care for their aging loved ones.

Hudson Valley hard hit by torrential downpours, flooding

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

“Westchester faired much better than our neighbors in Orange and Rockland counties did, and there also was some damage in Putnam and a little bit in Dutchess, as well," Westchester County Executive George Latimer said on July 10 as the cleanup from the storms and flooding that hit the Hudson Valley on July 9 continued. Up to 10 inches of rain fell in some areas in what was described as a "thousand — year storm."

Latimer said that some communities in the northern part of the county were among the sections that were inundated, resulting in road and structure flooding and power outages.

"We were much more fortunate on this side of the Hudson and we're grateful for

that," Latimer said.

On the morning of July 10, Gov. Kathy Hochul, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus and other officials went to Highland Falls, near West Point, which was especially hard hit.

"This was a frightening, life-threatening

experience," Hochul said. She called the event an "incredible shock to this region."

Both Neuhaus and Hochul had declared states of emergency for Orange County due to flooding caused by the torrential rains. A woman died when she left her home in the town of Highlands as floodwaters were

rising. She was swept into a ravine.

In Rockland, County Executive Ed Day reported that about 40 people were rescued from cars trapped in floodwaters. The Palisades Parkway and Route 9W were among the numerous roads that had sections closed due to flooding.

The CSX railroad freight line was flooded in about 10 locations and was out of service. Two local sewage treatment plants in the Highlands area suffered damage and residents were urged to boil water before use regardless of whether it came from private wells or the public water supply.

"I saw active duty army soldiers up to their bellies (in flood water)," Neuhaus said. "Easily, tens of millions of dollars in damage here."

Neuhaus praised good Samaritans who stopped to help people trapped in their cars. New York State Police led numerous drivers and passengers to safety when their cars stalled in deep water or were washed

off roads.

The flooding caused Metro-North service to be suspend ed between Croton-Harmon and Poughkeepsie, with buses pressed into service for commuters. MetroNorth service was restored as of the morning of July 12. Amtrak service between New York City and Albany was suspended as work crews labored to rebuild sections of track roadbed that had been washed away by the flood waters. Hochul said that about 800 people were stranded on trains Sunday night.

Hochul said that the federal government's FEMA has pledged to provide all assistance necessary. She also said that she spoke with the White House and U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. She said the senators pledged to help bring federal aid to the area. Hochul said that officials from West Point offered to provide

whatever assistance they could.

Hochul said that Schumer pledged that federal infrastructure dollars would be made available for repairs to roadways, bridges and local facilities.

U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler added his voice, saying, “It's incumbent on all of our federal, state and local elected officials to work together in order to assess the damage. It's clear, based on initial assessments, that we are looking at tens of millions of dollars in damage here, and we all need to work together in order to ensure that the full force of OEM and FEMA are able to help with recovery efforts."

Metro-North work train stabilizes roadbeds along Hudson River tracks. Schumer, Gillibrand and Rep. Pat Ryan, who is a graduate of West Point, in a joint statement called for flood remediation work to begin immediately at the military academy.

"Academic buildings, portions of the cadet barracks and privatized family housing have experience flooding," their joint statement said. "Many of the buildings on campus are historic, reflecting West Point’s more than two—hundred—year history of military excellence.  Stony Lonesome Gate was a vantage point for Revolutionary war soldiers stationed at the steep outpost; now a gate to West Point, the exit lane has washed away, bringing the access point down to one lane.

The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services' Office of Emergency Management activated the State Emergency Operations Center in order to receive local requests for assistance. Neuhaus said it was impossible to come up with a count of the number of

incidents that took place because so many were "spur of the moment." Four state Swift Water Rescue teams were deployed to assist with local flood rescue efforts. State personnel were sent to the Orange County Emergency Operations Center to facilitate local requests for assistance.

There were more than 12,000 power outages reported in Putnam, Dutchess, Albany, Ulster and Orange counties as a result of the storm.

Hochul said that because of advance warnings about the heavy rains moving in there were approximately 9,000 first responders and workers ready to jump into action when the floods hit. She warned of additional flooding during the week in parts of New York state as rain lingered and rivers continued to rise.

Tavern + eatery = The Tav’ery

BY JEREMY WAYNE jwayne@westfairinc.com

“Hello boss, how are we today?” asks the attentive runner at The Tav’ery, a relatively new restaurant in Bronxville, where, like me, a handful of other diners are enjoying a late lunch and taking refuge from the heat on a sizzling Tuesday afternoon.

Since I’m never addressed as “boss” at home — a prophet has no honor in his own house, as the Gospels have it — or anywhere else for that matter, I rather like this. I also like the way he immediately fills my glass with good, old-fashioned, iced water, poured from an aluminum pitcher, rather than launching into the “Still, sparkling or tap?” routine that in far too many restaurants has become the preamble to getting a glass of simple H20.

I like the space, too, a long marble-topped bar as you enter, diverting left into a larger restaurant room behind. It’s a bit of an awkward layout, the main restaurant — not so much a V-shape as a squiggle but it sports a long, L-shaped banquette, a booth for four and a couple of cozy corners. So, something for everyone.

The menu, too, has enough variety to take you from an early lunch through an early supper, with small plates, tacos, sandwiches, burgers, “grande” salads and more. Or, “More…” as the menu has it.

I thought French onion soup on the menu on a 93° July day, where a cold vichyssoise or gazpacho might have been more appealing, was pushing it a bit, and said as much to my server — that a piping hot onion soup might be a hard sell on such a day — when the man at the next table promptly went and ordered it. He demolished the Gruyère-saturated crust and then the soup with brio. I ate my words.

Me, I went with a Cobb salad, mostly because I love a well-done Cobb but also to see the reason — or justification — for calling it “grande,” which is, after all, a very grand word for a salad.

This was not so much a deconstructed salad as an unconstructed one in the first place, with egg whites and yokes separated and the shredded lettuce, red onion, blue cheese, grape tomatoes, cucumber and bacon bits presented in separate bands along the plate. A colorful and pleasing arrangement, if not an especially grand(e) one, it tasted fresh and delicious.

The kitchen impressed, too, with my main course, a Pat LaFrieda original beef burger, prime quality beef with caramelized onions, pancetta jam, Gruyère and

Tav’ery’s own aioli — served with crisp, spirally fries.

Several dishes, perhaps too many, contain melted cheese — Gruyère, smoked Gouda — although I had no complaint about it in a compelling dish of caramelized cauliflower with braised Swiss chard, Tav’ery’s particular acknowledgement of the cauliflower craze sweeping the region. In this dish, the cauli was “drizzled” with melted Brie, a vast improvement on the British classic of “cauliflower cheese” — a sad, sloppy mess served up once a week at my English boarding school, and the reason I did not eat cauliflower again for more than 20 years.

Brussel sprouts, another vegetable du moment, enjoyed upgraded treatment, with those crisp bacon bits again and the sprouts shimmering under a bourbon glaze. Again, though, I would not necessarily include this winter root vegetable on a summer menu.

My Irish server, full of “thank yous” and “you’re welcomes” and Emerald Isle smiles, was now busy discussing the joys of County Sligo with a couple seated nearby. It sounded as if they were headed there shortly on vacation, and the server knew it well.

Someone else was ordering a Guinness — an excellent thirst quencher when served cold enough — and the large black and gray picture with a gash of red running through it, on the wall opposite my table, was suddenly reminding me of Chris de Burgh’s “The Lady in Red.” Yes, I was definitely having an Irish moment here in Bronxville. I think we all were. Whatever happened to Chris de Burgh, by the way?

My neighbor on the other side, meanwhile, he of the onion soup and asbestos tongue, with whom I had now struck up a conversation, told me he appreciated the house-made tartar sauce that came with his beer-battered cod, a nice tranche of fresh

fish fried in a crisp batter. The sauce, he pointed out enthusiastically, was not your usual vinegary glop from a packet but a well-balanced mayonnaise with pickle and dill. Go, Tav’ery.

Like several of the dishes, my sticky toffee pudding dessert was a little busy, with its sheaf of fresh mint leaves, strawberry slices, scattering of blueberries, scoop of dulce de leche ice cream and large dollop of whipped cream all adorning the pudding, which was good and sticky enough to stand alone. OK, that ice cream wasn’t half bad, I admit it.

Coffee by the way, Masini by Essse Italian espresso, was superb.

With less melted cheese, please, and fewer drizzles, The Tav’ery is a handy restaurant I can imagine myself returning to time and again.

Westchester's commercial real estate faces a slow summer

Westchester County leasing velocity was down about 11% in the first quarter, and it is anticipated that it will fall further behind last year’s pace in the second quarter.

The trends in our market are, by and large, in synchronization with the national statistics. Vacancy rates are rising, as are availability rates (which includes leased space that is on the market for sublease). The county’s repurposing of approximately 7 million square feet of office space into other uses (which includes adaptive reuse of existing office buildings for residential apartments or medical space as well as demolition of obsolete office buildings to build other types of product on their sites) has not and cannot keep up with the pace of slowing demand for office space due to remote and hybrid work.

“Without a doubt, the pandemic prompted seismic shifts in occupancy rates and the types of spaces tenants seek,” said Karolina Alexandre, research manager for global real estate brokerage Newmark. “Landlords are not only competing with the building across the street, but also with a lingering remote work

model. As a result, the flight-to-quality trend has only intensified, as firms seek to modernize their offices with superior amenities and overall quality in an effort to retain their workforce.”

“Thus,” Alexandre added, “much of the commodity lower-quality space will continue to muddle along. But the drop in leasing velocity in Westchester is also in large part due to an ever-shrinking inventory base, following a vast number of building conversions.”

We are also at the front end of some economic issues in our market as well that

will further slow the pace of transactions.

Two buildings in Tarrytown (560 and 580 White Plains Road.) have recently gone into receivership, which will very likely restrict their ability to transact new lease deals. The ownership of 303 S. Broadway in Tarrytown has been trying to get a zoning change to allow it to demolish the existing office building and construct rental apartments on that site. So, this building has essentially removed itself from the leasing market by choice.

In the East-287 submarket, a large office portfolio is being extremely cautious

NYMC names Schluger dean

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

Valhalla-based New York Medical College (NYMC) has named Neil W. Schluger the new dean of its School of Medicine. He will succeed Jerry L. Nadler, who had been serving as dean since March 2019. Schluger assumes the post on Aug. 15.

Schluger is an internationally recognized pulmonologist and has served as the Barbara and William Rosenthal Chair of the Department of Medicine and professor of medicine at NYMC and director of medicine at Westchester Medical Center since 2020.

“After an extensive national search done by a committee with broad representation, there was a clear consensus that our own chair of medicine was by far the best candidate for dean," said Alan Kadish, president of NYMC and Touro University.

Previously, Schluger was chief of the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. He was professor of medicine, epidemiology and environ-

mental health sciences and director of the Population and Global Health Track for the Scholars Projects Program and co-director of the Programs in Education and Global and Population Health for the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University.

Schluger is board-certified in pulmonary disease and internal medicine. He earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He was chief resident at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York and completed a three-year pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship at The New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center.

At NYMC, Schluger has been leading a department of more than 425 faculty members in addition to teaching more than 800 medical students and residents. In 2021, he took on the additional role of associate dean for clinical and translational research for the School of Medicine.

Schluger is a founder of the East Africa Training Initiative (EATI) in Pulmonary Medicine. It's the first training program of its kind in Ethiopia and the broader East African region. Before the launch of EATI, Ethiopia had only one pulmonologist for its

110 million people.

Schluger has been a principal investigator in the Tuberculosis Trials Consortium, an international collaboration sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for 25 years and was the chair of the consortium from 2000-2016. He is co-editor and a co-author of "The Tobacco Atlas," which describes the extent and consequences of tobacco use. It is published by Vital Strategies, a global not-forprofit organization devoted to public health issues, and the American Cancer Society. Schluger is on Vital Strategies' board. He also is the author of more than 200 articles, chapters and books,

Tenants are now more willing to make long-term decisions on renewals or new space and some are planning for future growth. But landlords’ expenses to negotiate a lease document, build out tenant spaces and pay broker commissions typically cost about three-and-a-half to four years of gross rent, so they are not cash-positive on leases until past the mid-point of the term on a typical seven-year lease.

We should have the actual statistics relatively soon, but the trends are clear and they are not pretty.

Connecticut seeks to stay competitive with captive insurance

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

On June 23, Gov. Ned Lamont signed Public Act 23-15 into law. The legislation, which becomes effective on Oct. 1, is designed to bolster the state’s captive insurance company sector.

Captive insurance companies are a form of self-insurance where a business or other entity sets up an insurance company solely to handle the company’s needs and runs it as a wholly owned subsidiary. This option has become increasingly popular in recent years because captive companies can be well-suited to handling risks that might be unusual or particular to only a narrow set of businesses. Also, premiums paid to a captive insurer can generate tax savings.

According to the National Association of Insurance Companies, 90% of Fortune 500 companies have a captive subsidiary providing at least some of their insurance needs. Presently, many of these companies are domiciled in places where they can take advantage of low taxes, leading to overseas registration or in states like Vermont which is currently the leading domicile for captive insurance.

However, only 29 states and the District of Columbia currently serve as captive domiciles – and Connecticut, despite its history with the insurance industry, was tied with Georgia for 13th place with 57 captives in 2022. Vermont leads the U.S. with 639 captives, nor far behind Bermuda and the Cayman Islands with more than 650 each.

“Connecticut is definitely the insurance capital of the world,” said Fenhua Liu, division director with the Connecticut Insurance Department. “We are very proud of that. We have all the expertise, all the experienced people, all the resources here in Connecticut. But cap-

tive insurance is different from traditional insurance.”

Liu said other domiciles can attract captive companies with very low or no taxes, but that often comes paired with high fees. Thanks to Connecticut’s updated rules, she added, the state should be able to offer a competitive tax rate with tax credits or waivers while keeping the low fees associated with licensing and running a captive company.

The biggest changes resulting from PA 23-15, according to Liu, are the elimination of a minimum premium tax for dormant captives and allowing the use of parametric products.

“Captives can leverage para-

metric products to transfer risks out of the captive or sales of risks to private or public investors,” Liu said, referring to captives with a single or multiple owners. “We call that ‘parametric solutions’ — if they match or meet certain criteria, they can get paid immediately without proof of loss or obligation to indemnify so they reduce the underwriting and claims adjustment process.”

A sharp cut to the cost of establishing a captive company in Connecticut may also help establish the state as a domicile destination.

Connecticut stands to gain from the increased revenues from becoming a popular domicile for captive insur-

ance companies, which is a growing section of the insurance industry. Small and medium businesses within the state will be able to establish and administer their insurance captives closer to home while drawing on the state’s deep well of insurance talent.

Liu expects a reduction in overall costs and increased transparency that can make risk financing more efficient. This is particularly important to small companies that may be dealing with unique or unusual risks not covered by typical forms of insurance.

“Often, commercial carriers do not have enough capacity to provide the availability or afford insurance products for risk management,” Liu said. “Sometimes they do offer them but they’re very expensive, things like climate change, ESG risks, cybercrime, floods, all of these things have driven insurance companies to start restricting their terms and conditions because it’s too risky. That’s why captive exists, to fill those gaps.”

Scarsdale mentor claims New Rochelle follower broke deals worth $4.3M

AScarsdale businessman is demanding nearly $4.3 million from a New Rochelle businessman he mentored, over deals made during the Covid-19 pandemic but allegedly not consummated.

Peter Weintraub accused Marc Jason of failing to pay a $500,000 personal loan, in a complaint filed June 22 in Westchester Supreme Court. On the same day Weintraub’s Bristol Associates Ltd. sued Jason’s London Luxury LLC for nearly $3.8 million for allegedly failing to pay for goods delivered.

Jason’s attorney, Daniel Nottes, Manhattan, said he had no comment on the allegations at this time.

Weintraub operates Bristol Associates, a Scarsdale textile firm that imports sleep products, such as sheets and mattress toppers and pillows, and sells them to wholesalers.

Jason, a native of London, founded London Luxury in 2002 to sell home goods, such as sleep products, to retailers.

Weintraub and Jason were introduced to one another around 2005, according to a court filing, and “they developed a close personal friendship which endured for many years. The relationship, was such that Jason often referred to Weintraub as his ‘mentor.'”

The court cases do not provide details

about the personal relationship, but online records indicate a shared interest in supporting Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, a nonprofit organization based in Manhattan.

Weintraub claims that Jason asked him for a short-term loan for a new business venture in May 2020. The plan was to supply personal protective equipment to hospitals and retailers. The business was to be called London Luxury Medical, according to the complaint, but was never formed.

Weintraub says he agreed to make a $500,000 personal loan. He would receive a 1% commission on gross sales and Jason would repay the loan, without interest, by May 2022.

“Jason has failed to repay any portion of the loan,” the complaint states, “despite repeated requests by Weintraub.”

Around the same time, Bristol Associates’ relationship with London Luxury was allegedly faltering.

Bristol had begun supplying the New Rochelle wholesaler with sleep products in 2006. But from late 2020 to mid-2022, the second complaint states, London Luxury placed 26 orders, the goods were delivered and no payments were made.

Both lawsuits charge breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

Weintraub and Bristol Associates are represented by Manhattan attorneys Michael S. Devorkin and Kelsey J. Davis.

Three ways community banks sustain stability when there's market disruption

Uncertainty is a feeling with which many of us have become well-acquainted in recent years, particularly from an economic standpoint. But despite being familiar with uncertainty, the discomfort it causes remains. It doesn’t help that the economy’s instability is compounded by macro-factors like geopolitical unrest, ongoing recovery from the Covid19 pandemic and global inflation woes. In our small communities, these challenges can feel entirely out of our control and often are. Our individual lives are impacted, sometimes acutely.

Times of economic uncertainty call for resilience and forward-thinking. This is especially true for smaller banks and community banks, as the current economic headwinds present an opportunity to step up and fill the role of the trusted advisors our clients rely on us to be. Despite the global outlook pointing toward inflation and disruption, there are certain significant ways community banks are leading the charge in sustaining stability for clients and customers while seizing opportunities for continued growth.

1. Maintaining a continuity of services. Simply defined, market disruption is a change in how a market typically functions, a departure from the norm that has multifarious impacts on the overall economy. In the face of change, it’s human nature to crave familiarity — and that’s exactly what

community banks can provide to clients and customers during these times. While some banks tend to abandon entire offerings during economic downturns, community banks can help you feel secure by continuing to provide the same range of services and products throughout the disruption.

2. Being responsive to client needs and industry changes.

As providers of professional services, it’s imperative that banks evolve their programs and offerings to cater to clients’ needs. Often these needs shift with global events. For example, the pandemic forced an industry-wide pivot to digital banking. In our case at Tompkins, we responded by refining our existing self-service offerings and developing new ones. We also

continued to promote financial literacy throughout the pandemic by hosting free, virtual webinars on current market trends like first-time homebuying and fraud protection, to ensure we were still reaching our customers, even if they were no longer coming by in person. Given their local roots, community banks can pay closer attention to customer sentiment during times of unprecedented change, whether a pandemic or a market disruption, and are uniquely equipped to diagnose client needs and develop the right tools to address them.

3. Filling the opportunity gaps that big banks can’t.

One hallmark of a changing economic climate is an uptick in mergers and acquisitions. As larger competitors see an

increase in merger and acquisition action, a window of opportunity opens for community banks. It’s likely that customers at a bank that’s being acquired won’t be familiar with the bank coming in, and more often than not, there is a noticeable difference in service, culture, and banking products. This is where the qualities that set community banks apart really shine. By offering time-tested policies and a lasting culture, community banks can feel like a safe harbor for newly acquired customers. And while other banks deal with experience gaps in handing over portfolios to new employees, a community banker’s reputation for being a trusted advisor is often what prospective clients are craving. In an ever-shifting economy, our communities look to us to guide them through troubled waters and unpredictable tides. Wherever the economic headwinds may blow, taking the time to make sure clients and customers feel stable amidst the storm is a core tenant of the community banking mission, and a crucial step in ensuring everyone comes out stronger and more financially secure on the other side.

Elmsford asbestos project could cost abatement contractors $2.3M

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

AManhattan insurance company is suing asbestos contractors for $2.3 million for allegedly botching an abatement project at a Mack-Cali Realty Corp. office building in Elmsford.

Commerce and Industry Insurance Co. reimbursed Mack-Cali CW Realty Associates for the damages, according to a complaint filed June 30 in Westchester Supreme Court, and now it wants to get its money back from the contractors who worked on the project.

C&I accused Delta Contracting Services Inc., East Brunswick, New Jersey; Hillmann Consulting LLC, Manhattan; Safe Wrap LLC, Whitehall, Pennsylvania; and Sharp

Roofing Associates Inc., Randolph, New Jersey of breach of contract.

Mack-Cali, of Jersey City, New Jersey, hired the contractors in 2017 to remove asbestos on the roof of a flex space facility at 4 Westchester Plaza, Elmsford.

Delta’s job was to replace the roof and remove asbestos, according to the complaint. Hillmann was in charge of asbestos monitoring and inspection. Safe Wrap installed temporary plastic sheeting to protect the building interior. Sharp Roofing, hired in 2015, did roof inspections.

They were required to carefully handle, store and dispose of hazardous materials such as asbestos — an insulating and fireproofing material that can cause lung diseases — and to make sure that the fibrous mineral did not infiltrate the building.

They had to comply with government regulations and ensure that any subcontractors they hired did the same.

Hillmann, for instance, was required to do daily inspections and the final inspection.

Delta subcontracted its abatement work to Guiliano Environmental LLC, the complaint states, and Guiliano subcontracted the job to S&M Enterprise of New Jersey Inc. Neither Guiliano nor S&M are named as defendants.

The contractors failed to prevent asbestos and roofing debris containing asbestos from getting inside the building, the complaint states and the hazardous material damaged the building and its contents.

Safe Wrap, for instance, had removed the protective plastic film before all roofing debris had been removed, according to

the complaint.

In April 2019, the New York State Department of Labor directed Mack-Cali to vacate the building and remediate the contamination.

The state cited Hillmann for failure to conduct a satisfactory final inspection and to check above the ceiling tiles to verify that all asbestos had been cleaned and removed. Safe Wrap was for cited for prematurely removing the plastic sheeting, and S&M for failing to properly clean and contain the debris.

None of the contractors replied to emails asking for their sides of the story.

C&I, an affiliate of AIG Property Casualty Inc., is demanding $2,337,813 in damages. It is represented by Manhattan attorneys John H. Kane and Judy Lu.

“Scholarships at Pace University are more than just academic awards. They are doorways to extraordinary opportunities — ladders to life-changing experiences for students with the drive and determination to achieve their dreams,” said Pace University President Marvin Krislow in a letter to Yankwitt.

“We hope to help advance those dreams by offering the scholarship recipient an internship as well, if possible,” added Yankwitt.

high-quality early childhood education and care programs regardless of income.

The organization is licensed to serve nearly 900 children each day across multiple locations in Stamford, and oversees a Head Start program operated by Family Centers in Greenwich.

Retiring CEO Marc Jaffe who raised the profile of the organization and the early childhood industry across Connecticut was honored as a Champion of Children at the event.

Daytime Emmy-nominated actress Jill Larson served as the evening's emcee opening the program with town of Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo reading a proclamation naming June 16, 2023, as Marc E.

NORWALK-BASED CENTER RECEIVES GRANT

Circle Care Center recently announced that it has received a grant in the amount of $50,000 from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation to support its new comprehensive HIV prevention and sexual health program for uninsured people.

The new program was launched in May 2023 and will cover all out-of-pocket expenses for 35 uninsured patients for comprehensive sexual health care and the HIV prevention treatment pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for 12 months. This program includes quarterly STI testing, quarterly provider appointments, an annual physical exam, annual physical lab panels and 12 months of HIV prevention medication.

While drug manufacturers offer pa-

tient assistance programs to help cover the cost of HIV prevention medication for uninsured patients, barriers still exist that prevent uninsured people from accessing this important service. Appointment fees, required quarterly lab testing and STI testing and treatment can sometimes present unexpected out-of-pocket costs that might prevent an uninsured patient from remaining on this treatment, which requires quarterly testing and provider visits. With the support of the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation, Circle Care Center’s new program aims to eliminate all of these potential financial barriers to ensure that uninsured patients can access HIV prevention treatment for zero out-of-pocket costs for at least 12 months. If the program is suc-

cessful, Circle Care Center intends to seek funding that will extend its duration and expand the program to reach more people in the future.

To be eligible for the program, applicants must live in Fairfield County, be between the ages of 18 – 50, be currently uninsured, make less than 250% of the federal poverty limit, and be a member of a group considered to have an elevated risk of being exposed to HIV such as men who have sex with men, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender people, intravenous drug users or women of color. Applicants can find more information and apply to participate in the program on Circle Care Center’s website at circlecarecenter.org/ prep-grant-program-2023/.

Pace Women’s Lacrosse Wins National Title; Honored at White House

Pace University Launches Sands College of Performing Arts

Pace University’s women’s lacrosse team joined college athletes from across the country at the White House in June to celebrate the team’s 2023 NCAA National Championship.

The Setters joined 47 teams from schools across the country including University of Texas, Penn State, University of Virginia, Stanford University, and University of North Carolina, among others. The teams represented 19 sports from all three NCAA divisions -- national championship winners -that were recognized on the South Lawn of the White House as part of “College Athlete Day.”

“You made tremendous sacrifices — training through injuries, birthdays, vacations, and even a pandemic,” Vice President Kamala Harris told the crowd. “You know, all of you, what it means to commit and to persevere. And we know that so often, during the course of a long season, sports teams also become a family. You develop life-long relationships. You demonstrate teamwork and character. You make the people around you better in every way. You are leaders. You are role models. And, of course, you are champions.”

Pace University women’s lacrosse team completed its historic season with a national championship, defeating No. 1 ranked West Chester University, 19-9, on May 21 in Indianapolis to win the first title in program history. The 19 goals scored by

The Setters were the most-ever scored in a DII Women’s Lacrosse championship game, and they are the first NCAA collegiate team in Westchester County to win a national championship.

The Setters, who finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation with a 21-2 record, won a staggering 17 games against ranked opponents during the 2023 season.

The visit to the White House was a tremendous honor for the program and the university, said Head Coach Tricia Molfetta, who is in her sixth year with the team.

“It was such an incredible honor to be welcomed to the White House by President Biden and Vice President Harris for College Athlete Day,” said Coach Molfetta. “It was amazing to see so many student-athletes together and join in celebrating all of our successes this academic year. I am so grateful we were able to end our year in such a monumental way and I know the experience today will be one this team will share with their friends and families for the rest of their lives.”

“Being invited to the White House was truly an unforgettable experience and I am so glad I was able to share it with my whole team,” said Angelina Porcello, National Player of the Year, of Eastchester, N.Y. “It was an honor to celebrate our championship win alongside our fellow NCAA championship athletes.”

Since its creation in 2014, the Pace School of Performing Arts (PPA) has been a leader in producing top talent, with its graduates widely represented in the film, TV, theater, and dance industries.

When the program launched within Pace’s Dyson College of Arts and Sciences nearly two decades ago, it was Manhattan’s first new performing arts school in almost half a century. Today, in keeping with its long tradition of innovation and in recognition of the rapidly evolving industry, PPA is getting its own stand-alone identity: The Sands College of Performing Arts.

“The Sands College of Performing Arts will be a path-setting performing arts college for the 21st century that leverages the vast creative resources of New York City to educate and inspire a new generation of diverse artists and arts leaders,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov.

Sands College – the seventh school and college within Pace University - will commence with the 2023-24 academic year, enrolling its inaugural class this fall. It is named in recognition of a $25 million gift from Rob and Pamela Sands, J.D. ’84, and comes as Pace is transforming its campus in Lower Manhattan – One Pace Plaza – to include a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center.

The arts center will have three new venues. It will feature the latest technology and be supported by scene and costume shops, dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, green rooms, public spaces, and dance studios.

“We’re thinking about where the industry is now, and where we’re like to see it be in the future, ensuring our students

are the changemakers and the leaders it needs – that’s why these new spaces are so important,” said Sands College of Performing Arts Executive Director Jennifer Holmes, Ph.D.

Jo Jo Carmichael, who graduated Pace in 2022 with a BFA in Commercial Dance, said she’s excited about the new performing arts college at her alma mater and the opportunities it presents for future students.

“Pace Performing Arts is so incredible,” she exclaimed. “There are so many people working in the industry who graduated from there.”

Carmichael, an Alabama native, is currently in rehearsal for the national touring production of MJ the Musical. Prior to that, she did the out-of-towns for The Devil Wears Prada musical and was a New York City Rockette for two seasons. She credits the education and experience she received at Pace for helping to set her on the path to success in a highly competitive yet rewarding field.

“Just the Rockettes alone, if you look at the Christmas spectacular cast from 2022, there will at least 10 of us on that one job, if not more,” Carmichael recalled. “Not just commercial dancers, but actors, stage managers – to have all those people from one college on one contract together is huge.”

Using Online Education to Advance Your Career

Your education and your career are closely intertwined. Whether you already have a degree or not, workplace expectations increase every day and without continued learning we all risk being left behind.

Furthering your education allows you to expand your knowledge and attain the practical skills that can push your career to the next level, resulting in a promotion or new position with greater earnings, a title, and more responsibility. Luckily, online learning at SUNY Ulster makes gaining a degree, certification, or new skills affordable and flexible for working professionals.

WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT

For those interested in attaining an Associate’s degree, the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce cites that lifetime earnings increase by $400 thousand over those with only a high school diploma.

But, SUNY Ulster also offers online certificates and microcredentials for those who prefer to gain training in a specific field that will land them a technical career that pays well or a desired skill that will place them in a good position to be promoted or even start a business.

Whether taking online courses full time or part time, SUNY Ulster awards $1 million in scholarships annually in addition to financial aid, often leaving students with little to nothing to pay.

UPSKILL WITH ONE OF 19 MICROCREDENTIALS

Lifelong learning is no longer nonessential to keep one’s career moving forward and earning a microcredential is an effective way to not only learn but to earn recognition for that skill.

They take much less time to earn than a full degree and once achieved, you are awarded a digital badge to add to your resume or LinkedIn profile. Microcredentials are becoming widely acceptable in the workplace and are useful for those seeking

new employment of career advancement. Best of all, microcredentials can be stacked. Students can take the credits earned for the microcredential and apply them to a certificate or associate degree either directly after completion or anytime in the future.

If you feel stuck in a job that doesn’t satisfy your professional or financial goals, consider advancing your career with online learning. Making yourself a more valuable asset to your organization and demonstrating that you are committed to improving yourself and the quality of your work will pay off in the long run.

Southern Connecticut State University’s School of Business has achieved a significant milestone by earning accreditation from AACSB International, the world’s oldest and largest global accrediting body for business schools. AACSB accreditation is a premier mark of quality that is held by only five percent of business schools worldwide.

“The School of Business is happy to join its academic peers that have demonstrated their commitment to overall high-quality management education and a core conviction to advance their mission by way of attaining this distinctive credential,” said School of Business Dean Jess Boronico. “I wish to personally recognize the significant contributions of former Dean, Dr. Ellen Durnin, and former accreditation coordinator, Dr. Robert Forbus, for their leadership and accomplishments towards this achievement, and, more recently, Dr. Kauther Badr, as our current accreditation coordinator, and Alison Wall, as our Director of Assurance of Learning. I also wish to recognize the significant individual and joint contributions of the School of Business faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community, including institutional colleagues. Initial AACSB Accreditation serves as a testimonial to what is attainable through collaboration and a belief in a common mission.”

The accreditation is a testament to Southern’s commitment to excellence in all areas of business education, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning. AACSB accreditation ensures continuous improvement and provides focus for schools to deliver on their mission, innovate, and drive impact. Southern’s School of Business has successfully undergone a rigorous review process conducted by their peers in the business education community, ensuring that they have the resources, credentials, and commitment needed to provide students with a first-rate, future-focused business education.

The timing of the accreditation is also significant, as the School of Business is preparing to open a new building that will provide state-of-the-art facilities for students and faculty. The new four-story, 60,000-square-foot building will include nine general classrooms, as well as several specialized classrooms and lecture halls. It will also feature a behavioral lab area with an observation room, a community room that could seat 100 people, a large classroom and administrative suite for the MBA program, and an area designated for financial market and data analytics. It will also be the first building constructed by the

state to be net-zero in terms of carbon footprint – powered by energy from geothermal wells and solar panels.

Furthermore, Southern Connecticut State University President Joe Bertolino sees the newly accredited School of Business as a valuable resource to the local and regional business community. “A lot of companies, corporations, and organizations are looking to train and retrain their employees,” Bertolino said. “The school provides an opportunity to partner with regional and state entities to bring people up to speed or train them to come in.”

With AACSB accreditation and a new state-of-the-art facility, Southern’s School of Business is well-positioned to provide a world-class business education to its students, as well as serve as a valuable resource for the local and regional business community. The accreditation is a major achievement for Southern, and a testament to the dedication and hard work of the administration, faculty, staff, and students of the School of Business.

Celebrating 120 Years

DISCOVER THE

WCSU ADVANTAGE

. Gain experience with research and fieldwork

. Learn in small classes taught by working professionals

. Avoid a debt burden with affordable tuition

On July 1, Connecticut’s 12 community colleges merged to become Connecticut State Community College – CT State. Slowly, the new name will appear on campuses, web pages, forms and applications, merchandise and much more, but the coming together of these schools –each with a rich history of serving their communities – is much more than just a name change. It is a reimagining of public higher education in Connecticut, and one of the most ambitious transformations of two-year colleges ever undertaken.

One simple application allows students to apply to any of the campuses. Using the new CT State website (www.ctstate.edu), prospective students and their families can explore the associate degrees and certificates offered at each and determine the geographic best match for their desired program of study. Easy access to all locations also means that students can find a course time and modality (on campus, online or hybrid) that fits best

More Than a Name Change

at this time, as well. All the information needed, including CT State’s catalog, can be found on its new website. All applicants are encouraged to complete the FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov. This is the first step for many in determining whether they may be eligible for free tuition.

This is a new way for Connecticut

residents to access higher education, keeping all the best of the community colleges they, their families and their neighbors have benefitted from over the past six decades, and adding all the advantages and enhancements offered through a single, statewide community college – CT State.

EXPANDING HORIZONS

with their home and work obligations. While each student will still have a “home” campus – the place where they take most of their courses, meet with advisors and graduate from – the flexibility and ease of use that the new college offers makes starting – and completing – a degree or certificate a little easier.

The hands-on, personal attention that Connecticut’s community college students have become accustomed to remains - both inside and outside of the classroom. And the consolidation and cooperation among campuses offers a more cohesive experience for students, no matter which location they attend. A common calendar – for both in-class and co-curricular activities – makes it easier for students to synch their school life with their academic life and know about cultural events and key dates at each location.

Students interested in attending CT State in the fall can apply now; continuing students from each of the community colleges can register for their fall classes

MASTER DEVELOPER AWARDS NEARLY HALF MILLION TO CITY

RXR, a leading real estate owner, operator and the master developer for Downtown New Rochelle, recently announced it is awarding $100,000 to Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle (BGCNR). This contribution marks one year since RXR announced a $500,000 grant program dedicated to the health, well-being and safety of New Rochelle's children and families. Since its launch last year, RXR has committed more than $480,000 to various youth programming and educational initiatives.

The new $100,000 grant will support Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle’s Mascaro and Remington clubhouses, expanding on the services and programs they can provide in two of New Rochelle’s most underserved neighborhoods. Grant money will directly support improvements for both clubhouses, including the renovation of rooms, purchasing of new materials, operational costs and general building needs. RXR’s continued investment in Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle is critical in supporting these communities.

Since being selected as Master Developer of New Rochelle in 2015, RXR has created more than 3.3 million square feet of commercial and retail space and 5,500 new residential units.

"Since RXR was selected as the downtown master developer by the city of Rochelle, we’re proud to have created thousands of new residential units, hundreds of new jobs, and to leverage this new development to support New Rochellians," said Joseph Graziose Jr., executive vice president, development services at RXR.

“We are incredibly grateful to RXR for their generous support and ongoing commitment to Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle. Their latest investment in our Mascaro and Remington clubhouses is vital in our mission to encourage and empower youth in need in New Rochelle,” said Becky Mazzanobile, CEO, Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle. “…The work done at our clubhouses has a direct impact on the lives of New Rochelle’s youth and, more broadly, the city of New Rochelle – over 80% of our members do service in the community – and we strive

CHAIR OF MEDICINE APPOINTED

to ensure that each child achieves academic success, lives a healthy lifestyle and displays civic responsibility. We’re thankful to RXR for its unwavering support.”

Launched in the spring of 2022, the $500,000 youth programming grant program follows RXR’s previous contribution of more than $1 million in Covid relief funding to various nonprofit organizations in New Rochelle and the surrounding region over the past two years. Grants up to $25,000 were awarded as supplemental funding to existing programs, while applicants for grants above $25,000 were encouraged to partner with other nonprofit organizations in New Rochelle to either establish or expand innovative programming that targets a specific need or population.

When New Rochelle became the nation’s early Covid epicenter in 2020, RXR quickly established a Covid Relief Fund with $1 million in seed funding to help the city’s residents, businesses and nonprofits. To date, the fund has disbursed over $1 million in grants, including $486,000 to Rebound New Rochelle – a small-business relief program, providing $5,000 - $10,000 in grants to women/minority business owners, bilingual business liaison support and strategic consulting services.

RXR is an innovative investor, developer and place-maker committed to applying a customer and community-centered approach to building properties, services and products that create enduring value for all stakeholders. Headquartered in New York with a national platform strategy, RXR is a 500+ person, vertically integrated operating and development company with expertise in a wide array of value creation activities, including ground-up real estate, infrastructure and industrial development. The RXR platform manages 91 commercial real estate properties and investments with an aggregate gross asset value of approximately $20 billion, comprising approximately 30.0 million square feet of commercial properties, a multifamily residential portfolio of approximately 8,800 units under operation or development, and control of development rights for an additional approximately 3,500 multifamily and for sale units as of March 31.

After an extensive national search by a committee with broad representation, a clear consensus emerged that New York Medical College’s (NYMC) chair of medicine Neil W. Schluger, M.D., was by far the best candidate for dean of its School of Medicine. An internationally recognized pulmonologist, Schluger has accepted the position. He served as the Barbara and William Rosenthal chair of the Department of Medicine and professor of medicine at NYMC and director of medicine at Westchester Medical Center since 2020. He assumes his new duties on Aug. 15. Schluger succeeds Jerry L. Nadler, M.D., who stepped down as dean in January 2023 following the death of his beloved wife and supporter of the School of Medicine (SOM), Mary Latona Nadler.

Since joining NYMC, Schluger has distinguished himself as a clinician, researcher and educator, leading a department of more than 425 faculty members and teaching more than 800 medical students and residents. In 2021, he took on the additional role of associate dean for clinical and translational research for the SOM.

Previously, Schluger served as chief of the division of pulmonary, allergy and critical care medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center; professor of medicine, epidemiology and environmental health sciences; director of the Popula-

tion and Global Health Track for the Scholars Projects Program; and co-director of the programs in Education and Global and Population Health for the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. He is a founder of the East Africa Training Initiative in Pulmonary Medicine (EATI). The two-year fellowship training program in pulmonary and critical care medicine, which recently marked its 10th anniversary, is the first training program of its kind in Ethiopia and the broader East African region. Before the launch of EATI, Ethiopia had only one pulmonologist for its 110 million people. EATI has, thus far, graduated 18 specialists, including two pediatric pulmonologists and two physicians from Rwanda and Tanzania, who have assumed leadership roles at hospitals across East Africa.

Schluger has been a principal investigator in the Tuberculosis Trials Consortium, an international collaboration sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for 25 years and was the chair of the consortium from 2000-2016. He has been an author or editor of several editions of “The Tobacco Atlas,” the definitive work describing the extent and consequences of the global epidemic of tobacco use, published by Vital Strategies and the American Cancer Society. He is also the author of more than 200 articles,

chapters and books, past chair of the American Lung Association of New York, past chief scientific officer of the World Lung Foundation and a voice in the media on re-infection, long-term symptoms and the use of hydroxycholoroquine for treating Covid-19.

Board-certified in pulmonary disease and internal medicine, Schluger is a graduate of Harvard College, earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, completed a residency in internal medicine and served as chief resident at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York. He later completed a three-year pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship at The New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT’S 33RD ANNIVERSARY

Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado will be the keynote speaker at a special event commemorating the 33rd anniversary of the American with Disabilities Act on July 26 at Crawford Park Pavilion, 122 N. Ridge St. in Rye Brook, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Elected officials, including New York state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins and New York state Senator Shelley Mayer, Assemblymen

Chris Burdick and Nader Sayegh as well as groups representing people with disabilities will be attending the celebration.

“Before this historic civil rights protection law went into effect in 1990, people with disabilities were severely limited in their access to public and other buildings. Even the simple things that we now take for granted such as sidewalk curb cuts and audible traffic signals were not required. If you can imagine a world where people

with physical limitations were barred from participating in even the simplest activities. The ADA opened up a whole new world for people with disabilities,’’ said Maria Samuels, executive director of Westchester Disabled on the Move.

The legislation was signed on July 26, 1990, by the late President George H.W. Bush. It protects many areas of public accommodations and life for people with disabilities.

SPIRIT OF COOPERATION

Putnam County Business Council (PCBC) Board members John Kraus, Bill Nulk, Candice Sciarrillo and Nat Prentice, president, Putnam County Business Council attended a Small-Business Roundtable on June 28 hosted by New York State Assemblyman Matt Slater. Joined by U.S. Congressman Mike Lawler and Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne, the event provided an open platform for business owners and representatives of nonprofit organizations to candidly address the challenges they face.

Two issues emerged as recurring themes: 1. the need to address the decline in youth employment and 2. the impact of competition from businesses in nearby Connecticut. Attendees expressed growing concerns over the decreasing number

of young applicants for entry-level positions, which has become a significant hurdle for sustaining their operations. Additionally, the rising minimum wage has placed a considerable burden on smaller businesses, hindering their growth and progress. Addressing competition from Connecticut, the business owners pointed to the disparity in regulatory burden between the two states: New York more and Connecticut less.

Kraus, senior vice president for Tompkins Financial, introduced a delegation of six representatives from the bank. Dedicated exclusively to serving Putnam County businesses, these individuals repeatedly mentioned the negative impact that higher interest rates are having on their customers.

“I am pleased to join my partners

in government for a roundtable with small-business owners from across Putnam County. I appreciated hearing their stories and the challenges they are facing. Our small businesses are the lifeblood of our community and here in New York especially, they are facing a myriad of challenges just to stay afloat. It is incumbent on us at the federal, state and local levels to partner with our business communities to help create an environment where they are able to grow and thrive,” said Lawler.

County Executive Byrne added “small businesses employ nearly 70% of Americans, and it was inspiring to hear firsthand about the challenges they face and the innovative solutions they have implemented. As county executive, I am committed to supporting and advocating for our local small businesses, as they

play a vital role in driving our economy and creating job opportunities. And, a big thank you to Putnam’s largest employer, Ace Endico, for being such a gracious host for this event.”

My fellow PCBC Board members and I were very impressed with the content and conduct of this meeting. Not only was the roundtable discussion useful in providing a well-articulated list of issues that concern local businesspeople. It was also hopeful that the spirit of cooperation between the various levels of government demonstrated by Congressman Lawler, Assemblyman Slater and County Executive Byrne will lead to the resolution of many of these issues. The Putnam County Business Council is committed to actively participating in this resolution process,” he said.

BANK FOUNDATION AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

First County Bank Foundation recently announced the 2023 recipients of the Richard E. Taber Citizenship Award scholarships, its annual award program honoring Fairfield County high school students who consistently demonstrate good citizenship at school, at home and in the community.

The program is designed to recognize and encourage young people who are honest, hardworking and helpful. Each year the Bank Foundation accepts student applications from January to the end of April. The award, named after Richard E. Taber who retired as chairman and CEO of First County Bank in March 2011, is in recognition of Taber’s 40-plusyear career at the bank and innumerable contributions to the community.

Each of the following students were chosen to receive the $5,000 Richard E. Taber Citizenship Award scholar-

ship: Stephanie Chang of Riverside and Greenwich High School will attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in computation and cognition; Eleanor Jacobs of Fairfield and Fairfield Warde High School will attend New York University, majoring in English; and Anastasios Panagiotidis of Norwalk attended Norwalk High School and will attend the University of Connecticut, majoring in business.

“This year, we were especially impressed by the level of academics, leadership and community volunteerism of the Richard E. Taber Citizenship Award applicants,” said Robert J. Granata, chairman and CEO, First County Bank and President, First County Bank Foundation.

Established in 2001 in honor of the bank’s 150th anniversary, First County Bank Foundation was created to distribute funds annually to nonprofit organizations that support community and economic development, affordable housing and programs that support quality of life and educational enrichment for children and families.

NEW SCHOOL OF NURSING AT COLLEGE

Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry announced the launch of its new school of nursing and inaugural dean. This launch will enable

Mercy to further enhance its nursing programs, better serve its students and help meet the growing need for nurses in the tri-state area and across the nation.

Dr. Kenya V. Beard, Ed.D., AGACNPBC, ANEF, FAAN, is the inaugural dean of the new school. She has spent more than two decades in higher education working to narrow the academic achievement gap and strengthen workforce diversity in nursing.

The new School of Nursing will house Mercy’s full suite of nursing programs, which were previously part of the School of Health and Natural Sciences; these include traditional four-year undergraduate prelicensure programs and an accelerated second-degree program for those with existing bachelor’s degrees in other fields, and master’s programs in nursing education, nursing administration and family nurse practitioner studies.

“There is a great demand for highly trained nurses and over the last 8 years, Mercy has been working to expand its nursing programs to help alleviate the nursing shortage,” said Tim Hall, president of Mercy College. “Today’s announcement furthers Mercy’s mission and commitment to continue investing in its programs to meet the demands of the region’s workforce.”

There is an estimated need for more than 200,000 new registered nurses na-

tionally each year through 2026 to replace retirees and fill new positions according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Mercy College has been educating nurses for more than 45 years; first at the baccalaureate level and since 1981 at the master’s level as well. Over the last several years, Mercy has grown its nursing programs to offer more in-demand undergraduate and graduate degree programs. This includes the four-year-traditional nursing program, which has tripled in size since its inception in 2015 and the accelerated second-degree nursing program and the family nurse practitioner master’s program, both introduced in 2019 when Mercy absorbed more than 300 nursing students from The College of New Rochelle (CNR) as part of a teach-out agreement due to its closing. In 2021, Mercy started a weekend accelerated second degree program at the Bronx Campus to offer those who work during the week the opportunity to earn their degree.

Mercy has more than 1,100 students currently enrolled in its nursing programs, and awards over 400 nursing degrees annually. Many of Mercy’s graduates go on to work in area hospitals.

Prior to her appointment at Mer-

cy, Beard served as associate provost at Chamberlain University. Her vision of strengthening the preparedness of faculty to meet the needs of today’s nursing students resulted in the creation of the first Nurse Faculty Residency program in the country. The Harvard Macy Institute’s Program for Educators in the Health Professions supports her workshop, “Leading in a Race-Conscious Society” and as a 2012 Macy Faculty Scholar, she founded the Center for Multicultural Education and Health Disparities. Her publications and research have focused on best practices to move the needle on diversity, inclusion and health equity. She is a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Nursing, the Academy of Nursing Education, serves on the advisory council for the American Academy of Nursing’s Institute for Nursing Leadership, and is an editorial board member for the American Journal of Nursing.

Beard completed her AAS and BSN degrees at Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing and Excelsior College in New York, respectively. She earned her MSN at Stony Brook University and Ed.D. in educational administration at Dowling College.
