Tourism bureau gutted ZERO ALLOCATION DOOMS WESTERN CONN. OFFICE BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

BUSINESS A BREWIN' ▶ SEE PAGES 6 AND 22

The agency, at 12 N. Division St. in Peekskill, provided basic personal care services such as bathing, dressing and preparing food to elderly, sick, infirm and disabled clients. State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman depicts Anyah as a businessman who callously and criminally exploited his employees. Despite his guilty plea, Anyah presents himself as a small businessman who wasn’t given a fair chance to compete and who got trapped in debt when insurers and government agencies delayed payments for his services.

udget cutting is one thing at the state level these days, but for Dan Bolognani, chairman of the Western Connecticut Convention and Visitors Bureau, it’s beyond ridiculous. “We were certain that we would be in for additional cuts to our budget, just like every other state agency and program,” he said. “But to wake up on July 1 and find out we were losing 100 percent of our budget … we just weren’t ready for that.” Gone is the bureau’s $420,000 allocation from the state, leaving it with the roughly $80,000 it makes from donations and, primarily, from selling ads in its “Unwind” brochure and on its website. “There’s no way that’s enough for us to sustain ourselves,” he said. Gone too are the bureau’s four employees, laid off as of July 15. While the bureau is still eking out an existence by providing marketing and advertising promoting tourism around the region using data accumulated through the spring, there is no manpower left to provide updates and list new events, much less provide the assistance to the small businesses “that are not big enough to be players on a statewide or even regional basis,” Bolognani said. “Those are the lodging establishments, restaurants and smaller attractions that rely on the bureau to be their marketing department,” he explained. “We assist them in a number of ways, including serving as an intermediary to the State Office of Tourism. We’re here to provide the sort of local ‘boots on the ground’ services that the Connecticut Office of Tourism doesn’t have the manpower for — it’s not their job and it shouldn’t be their job.” That the elimination of funds coincides

Home health care business owner faces jail over stiffing employees BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ARTHUR ANYAH SAYS HE PLEADED guilty to wage theft to stay out of jail, but if he does not pay more than $200,000 in back wages and

unemployment insurance fees by December he could end up behind bars anyway. He pleaded guilty on July 14 to defrauding 67 workers out of $135,000 and creating false tax documents, as owner of Mical Home Health Care Agency Inc.

Port Authority chair tours Connecticut's coastal towns to develop maritime strate�y

Connecticut Port Authority Board Chairman Scott Bates and Gov. Dannel Malloy.

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

airfield County appears to be among the priorities of the Connecticut Port Authority (CPA), as Board Chairman Scott Bates is in the midst of a tour of the state’s seaside towns to develop a far-reaching plan of action. “One of the charges of the Connecticut Port Authority is to develop a statewide maritime strategy,” Bates said. “I’m going to all 35 coastal communities in the state and meeting with their elected officials and whoever they want to bring to the table to hear about their challenges and see what they see as opportunities.” He added that there will be “an intense focus on Fairfield County — there’s a tremendous opportunity to grow our community there. Our main role is to bring together a real public and private partnership to advance the economic interests of Fairfield County and all of Connecticut. The maritime sector’s potential has been far from realized.” Among the Fairfield County towns Bates has visited so far are Fairfield, Darien, Greenwich, Norwalk and Bridgeport. When the CPA, which has jurisdiction over all state harbors and ports, officially began operations last June, it said its primary responsibility would be marketing Connecticut’s three deepwater ports: New London, Bridgeport and New Haven. County officials in the smaller towns have expressed relief that Bates is apparently not concentrating only on the larger communities.

“The formation of the new Connecticut Port Authority raised a number of questions in town … namely whether it would just be focusing on the Bridgeports, Stamfords and New Havens of the world,” Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau said. Fairfield maintains two public marinas: South Benson Marina, which accommodates approximately 600 boats and is adjacent to Penfield Beach, Fairfield’s largest public beach; and Ye Yacht Yard on Southport Harbor, which accommodates approximately 60 small boats and provides boat launch services to residents and access to moorings in Southport Harbor. Repairs to Ye Yacht Yard, which was significantly damaged during Superstorm Sandy, were completed in April. Tetreau said that plans are afoot for Bates to attend one of Fairfield’s Harbor Commission meetings, usually held on the third Tuesday of each month. “We are very appreciative of his interest and conversation,” Tetreau said. “It’s not too often that commissioners proactively seek a dialog, so to have Mr. Bates reach out to the coastal communities in Connecticut was certainly appreciated,” said Darien First Selectman Jayme Stevenson. In addition to herself and Harbor Master Tom Bell, Bates also met members of the town’s Advisory Commission on Coastal Waters and several volunteer committees. Darien encompasses approximately 16.5 miles of the Long Island Sound coastline and maintains five harbors. Of particular concern to the Darien community, Stevenson said, is the Five Mile River

WCBJ

Watershed, which encompasses approximately 7,995 acres of land. Beginning at the northern border of New Canaan, it crosses the town center of that town and includes West Norwalk and the easternmost portion of Darien, before it terminates at the Five Mile River Harbor. Stormwater runoff and sediment from Five Mile River tributaries contribute both to pollution and flooding, she noted. “We want safe water for recreation and for shellfishing, both commercial and recreational,” Stevenson said. She characterized the Bates meeting as “basically a meet-and-greet,” adding, “I got the sense he’s trying to understand what the role of his agency will be. We look forward to future dialog with him.” “I’ve seen that the waterfront is central to the quality of life in Fairfield County,” said Bates. “I’ve enjoyed meeting local leaders and will work to encourage regional cooperation and solutions. What we can do is ensure that waterways are clear for boat traffic. I think we can encourage small-business development in the boating industry, at marinas and even in promoting aquaculture and the seafood industry.” He added that, with the CPA — signed into law in 2014 by Gov. Dannel Malloy — “for the first time in a long time, there is a group with statewide reach that can focus on and lead the development and implementation of a maritime strategy for the state of Connecticut.” For all its ambitions, the CPA is still very much a work in progress. Until its June board meeting, the agency’s budget was an open question; Bates said it has now secured $1 million, with about $600,000 from revenue and $400,000 in an appropriation from the state legislature. The search for an executive director is ongoing; Bates said the CPA board hopes to have one in place by the fall. The CPA’s governing board is composed of 15 voting members, including state officials, community leaders, port authority professionals and other individuals with expertise in trade, marine transportation and finance. On July 7, a ceremony was held in New London to highlight the CPA, primarily the transfer of that town’s State Pier from the Connecticut Department of Transportation to the CPA. The State Pier, which is close in proximity to Interstates 95 and 395, the New England Central Railroad line, and Atlantic shipping routes, is expected to be a primary and permanent source of revenue to the CPA.

Mamaroneck eatery promotes patrons self-serving motives BY ALEESIA FORNI

aforni@westfairinc.com

ick of flagging down a server when you’re ready to place your drink order? Here’s a thought. Why wait for beer when you can be your own bartender? That’s the idea behind the new taproom at Frankie & Fanucci’s Wood Oven Pizzeria in Mamaroneck. Opened in 2010, co-owners Brad Nagy and Angelo Viscoso built the restaurant at 301 Mamaroneck Ave. without a standalone bar. But in recent months, the duo began searching for a way to both increase beverage sales and differentiate themselves from the plethora of bars and restaurants that dot the busy street. “The economics in the restaurant business are changing, so it’s how do you involve the customer more in the service model to drive cost out of the business,” Nagy said, “and also give them a different experience.” That search led Nagy and Viscoso to iPourIt, a Lake Forest, Calif.-based company that supplies software and hardware powering a pour-it-yourself, pay-by-the-ounce dispensing system. “It’s like the salad bar for beer,” Viscoso said.

With iPourIt, customers start a tab and are given an RFID-enabled card. The thirsty patron can then head over to a wall lined with tablet computers that control taps distributing a variety of craft beer and wine. After touching the card to the tablet dispensing the drink of their choice, customers can enjoy as little or as much as they like, up to 32 ounces before they must check in with a staff member. At Frankie & Fanucci’s, customers are free to choose from 32 taps of both craft beer and wine. To mitigate any ill effects of a novice pourer, Nagy and Vicoso said they put a high amount of focus on finding the “perfect” beer distribution system. They also employ a “tap tender” who can assist patrons with pouring, along with helping them choose the right beer or wine. “We hear customers all the time say they stay safe (with their beverage choices),” Nagy said, adding that the newly installed system provides customers with a chance to sample a craft product they’ve never tried before without committing to a fully priced glass they may not enjoy. And don’t worry about any upcharges. Nagy said the price per ounce is prorated based on the cost per pint. Darren Nicholson, iPourIt’s vice presi-

dent of sales and marketing, said his company’s model is perfect for the pizza joints and fast-casual spots that sometime struggle with alcohol sales.

“IT'S LIKE A SALAD BAR FOR BEER.”

— Angelo Viscoso

“This is an experience that people don’t normally have, and haven’t had, because you can’t go behind the bar and pour yourself a beer,” Nicholson said. And since customers are able to refill their glasses without depending on a bartender or server, iPourIt provides business owners with an opportunity to keep down costs. “You look at the pressure that’s in the market with minimum wage increases, and we’re all for people making more money, but the pressure in this low-margin business is difficult when that happens,” he said. In December, the minimum wage for tipped employees jumped to $7.50 from $5.50.

Jay Holland, government affairs director with the New York State Restaurant Association, said the pair’s decision to install the system in lieu of a bar was “not surprising,” especially given the recent hike in labor costs. The self-pour method also works to eliminate a common problem in the industry: shrinkage. Nagy said he has seen liquor losses in his restaurants hit 15 to 20 percent, whether from overpouring, theft or the product being given away. “With these systems, literally none of our staff nor us can pour an ounce without it being allocated to a customer card,” Nagy said. “So you have a yield that’s 100 percent, theoretically.” Another plus, Nagy said, is “it’s just cool. It’s fun to be your own bartender.” But cool doesn’t come cheap. The partners say renovations and the installation of the iPourIt system has cost more than $100,000. They expect the upkeep and maintenance costs to be similar to those of a regular bar’s draft beer system. Along with the initial install costs, which averages around $1,350 per tap, iPourIt also charges a monthly subscription fee of 1 cent per ounce of beer sold, which Nicolson said

averages around $25 per tap, per month. “A lot of these companies are really small and new, so you’re really making a $100,000 investment in a company that’s tiny,” Nagy said. “And might not be there tomorrow,” Viscoso added. But Nicholson said the future is bright for iPourIt. Launched in 2012, the company boasts 1,126 taps in 60 locations nationwide, up from 770 taps installed at the end of last year. And since the RFID cards are activated by scanning a patron’s ID, iPourIt can track the analytics of who’s drinking what and how much, data the company hopes to monetize at some point. And while Nicholson said he hopes to bring more self-pour taps to Westchester, the technology won’t be making its way to Fairfield County anytime soon. Connecticut is one of seven states that prohibit alcohol self-dispensing machines. Nagy and Viscoso also have their eyes on the future and will likely install the self-pour system at Frankie & Fanucci’s Haverstraw location. “If you asked us yesterday, it would’ve been, ‘I’m never doing this again,’” Nagy said. “Today is the start of a new day, so maybe we’ll do it again. “Call me later, it’ll probably be, ‘No way.’”

Arts & Craft Beer: ArtsWestchester adds New York brews to exhibitions BY ALEESIA FORNI

aforni@westfairinc.com

isitors to select ArtsWestchester events this year will be treated to an additional type of artistry: craft beer. In an effort to bridge their respective followings and attract a younger, millennial demographic, ArtsWestchester has partnered with beer supplier Half Time Beverage to launch Arts & Craft Beer Fest, a series of 12 events where patrons can sip on New York-brewed craft beer while perusing works of art or taking in a show. “It occurred to us that if we could partner with the craft beer industry that we might be able to serve our customers, our arts patrons, with a more unique experience than perhaps the usual art events,” ArtsWestchester CEO Janet T. Langsam said. So far this year, Arts & Craft Beer Fest events have included musical performances, ArtsWestchester’s ArtsBash fundraiser and the closing reception of the exhibition, “SHE.” While many of ArtsWestchester’s previous events served selections of wine, Langsam said bringing in craft beer will make them more experiential for those in attendance. “This is a little different,” Langsam said.

“It’s more of a curated pairing.” A pairing that works, Langsam said, because the arts and craft beer industries share not only a common customer profile, but also a similar theme. “Craft beer is an art in our mind,” Langsam said. And the initiative seems to be working. Of the four Arts & Craft Beer Fest events held so far, ArtsWestchester’s gallery director Kathleen Reckling said, “We definitely saw a much more diverse crowd with many younger millennial-aged or younger Gen-X visitors.” Langsam said the program, which will continue through November, is funded through a

grant from New York State’s Taste NY initiative. Alan Daniels, president of Half Time, said that the partnership places a focus on serving beer from brewers in Westchester and the surrounding counties and has the added benefit of introducing patrons to local brews they may not have tried otherwise. Langsam hopes to grow the Arts & Craft Beer Fest initiative by reaching out to more affiliates and partners, along with expanding samplings offered to include specialty, locally-produced foods.

with the tourism industry’s peak season certainly doesn’t help matters, he added. “This is just devastating,” said state Rep. Fred Camillo (R-Old Greenwich) when informed of the situation. “It is incumbent upon us to press the point, which is the old business adage: You have to spend money to make money. The money spent (on promoting tourism) has produced a significant

Anyah — » » From page 1

For two and a half years, beginning in December 2012, according to Schneiderman, Anyah paid workers inconsistently. As he fell behind, he persuaded employees to keep working on the promise that they would eventually be paid when his invoices were paid. Many quit. Then Anyah hired new people, the attorney general says, and repeated the pattern. Some workers went more than a year without receiving wages. In some cases, paychecks were issued but bounced for insufficient funds. The shortfalls ranged from $311 to $16,770, according to an affidavit by state Department of Labor investigator Gerard Capdevielle. The attorney general says Anyah also created false tax documents, such as W-2 forms, reported wages that were never paid and failed to pay the workers’ state unemployment insurance. Anyah does not dispute that some employees were not paid promptly, but he said some employees exaggerated the amounts and he also went without pay at times. “I am a victim of business gone wrong.” He describes a nightmare that arose from pursuit of his American dream. He said he was a Nigerian air force pilot, but he fled his country for England in 1970 during a civil war. He moved to the United States about 40 years ago.

return for taxpayers.” A member of the General Assembly’s Tourism Caucus, Camillo said that tourism represents a 3-to-1 rate of return on dollars spent. “I heard it was 7-to-1 about four years ago, and have been told it was once 25- to 30-1.” The caucus was formed in April and is co-chaired by state Sen. Paul Formica (R-East Lyme) and Rep. Diana Urban (D-North Stonington), who have been vocal about tourism’s importance to the state’s economy. “Connecticut tourism is about jobs and economic vitality,” Formica said at the group’s inaugural meeting on April 5. “Having these open and frank discussions will help us to craft thoughtful policies which boost the state tourism industry.” Camillo said the caucus had met recently with Office of Policy and Management (OPM) Secretary Benjamin Barnes to protest the statewide cutting of the tourism budget from $15 million to $6.5 million, as well as the additional 1 percent later cut that included the 100 percent divestiture of the Western Connecticut budget. Barnes “didn’t provide specifics but said

in words and mannerisms that he too believes that tourism money spent does have a significant return for us,” Camillo said. “He agreed with the general feeling of the caucus that it’s better to have that money spent than not. “He hears all the time from people wanting money to be restored,” Camillo added, “but he does understand.” “The budget passed by the General Assembly was balanced in part by granting to OPM the authority to do budget holdbacks,” noted Gian-Carl Casa, OPM’s undersecretary for legislative affairs. “Without those holdbacks the budget would not be in balance. This means we must make many difficult but necessary decisions as we work to get Connecticut back to fiscal health. “The state provides centralized, statewide marketing and tourism services, including online resources for the public, through the Department of Economic and Community Development,” Casa continued. “Regional tourism districts augment those efforts. Local entities are free to support their regional districts if they believe such augmented services are necessary.”

But the buck won’t stop there, Camillo said. “My take is that we need to step it up as legislators. A lot of the time if you don’t make a lot of noise, it just goes away. (Formica and Urban) are on it. We will be meeting shortly, in the next couple of weeks, to formulate further plans to work with the governor’s office to get some of those cuts restored.” Bolognani said he hopes some sort of alternative plan can be implemented “really soon. Now is when tourists are looking for some of that local flavor, that local scene, that we can help them find.” Bolognani said he too has calls in to discuss with both the OPM and the State Office of Tourism to “examine ways we can increase our role in statewide tourism, secure more robust private funding through marketing schemes and make the regional bureaus more efficient and effective.” He added that he hopes such talks will take place over the next two weeks; otherwise, he said, “We will have to continue the shutting down process, closing offices and files, and putting our equipment and other materials into storage.”

He raised nine children and put all of them through college. In 2003 he founded Nationwide Educational Development Corp., an afterschool program that prepared high school students for college. Anyah said he felt a need to start his own health care business. He had worked at various health care firms over the years, and he had a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. He identifies himself as “Dr.” on various business filings, but he is not licensed in New York. He said he studied psychology at

Home health care services are reimbursed mostly by Medicaid payments administered by government agencies or by managed long-term care insurance plans. Anyah found that most governments had already made sufficient arrangements with other agencies. He said he lost nearly $200,000 on one client because of a disagreement with the state over authorization for the work. He got a break in 2012 when Westchester County officials told him that there was a demand for home health care workers in

judgments. He said he kept employees informed about delayed reimbursements at weekly meetings. As to the W-2 forms, he said a payroll company prepared and mailed the records. “Of course, mistakes were made,” he said. “But they were not intentional. I never thought that when you owe somebody, that becomes criminal. I never meant to hurt anyone.” Anyah is in a bind. He tried to get a job but no one would hire him because of the criminal case. He is 66, and Social Security is his only source of income. His children, he said, are unable to help because they don’t have money. He thinks the attorney general is using him as an example to further his political career. “The most basic right for a worker is to be paid for your work,” Schneiderman said in a press release. “It is unacceptable for workers who serve vulnerable patients to be stiffed on wages and them misled with false promises of payments.” Anyah will be sentenced on Dec. 8 in Westchester County Supreme Court. Failure to pay restitution “may result in a sentence of up to one year in jail,” Schneiderman said in the press release. “Going to jail doesn’t pay that money,” Anyah said. “My life is now over. No money to stay alive and my good name destroyed,” he said. “If they put me in jail, I will die. That is the bottom line.”

“IF THEY PUT ME IN JAIL, I WILL DIE. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.”

But sometimes payments were delayed over questions and procedures. Insurance companies took even longer, he said. He said Westchester County paid him this year for services provided in 2014. “How can you pay your staff when the government is not paying you for the services provided?” he asked.

Improved experience focus of Metro-North’s $2B capital program BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

ith ridership on Metro-North trains at record highs, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is looking for ways to improve commuters’ experiences both on and off the

railway. The MTA’s $29 billion, five-year capital program for 2015-19, approved by the authority’s board in November, dedicates $2.3 billion to Metro-North, up from the $1.54 billion for 2010-14 capital program. MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast said that around $15 million of that total would be used to revamp existing stations, beginning with the Riverdale, Crestwood, White Plains, Port Chester and Harlem-125th Street locations. Speaking at The Business Council of Westchester’s latest Political Leadership Series event on July 15, Prendergast said the improvement initiative is “starting small” with these five stations,

using them as examples for the renovations of other train stops along the line going forward. “Obviously, we’ll try to rank stations in some kind of priority order based on ridership or economic need, but we’re always challenged to go faster and do more,” he said. And once riders move from the platform to the train, keeping them connected, both to their commute and the outside world, is a priority. With customers demanding nearly instantaneous information regarding any issues or hiccups in service, Pendergast said the MTA should be meeting those needs, not other riders or social media. “The worst thing we can do is lower the level of confidence of our customers and our ability to provide service that they’re going to people outside the system to find out how the system is operating,” he said. To further streamline the riding experience, the MTA is rolling out eTix, an app that allows customers to buy tickets from their mobile devices. The app debuted on the Long Island Rail Road’s Port Washington Branch

and Metro-North Hudson Line in June and will hit the Metro-North Harlem Line later this month. By late August, eTix will be available for the rest of the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North’s New Haven Line. Though only in operation a few weeks, Prendergast said the MTA is seeing a “healthy shift” toward the new technology. The MTA also hopes to replace the MetroCard ticketing system in the New York City subways with one that is more convenient for the everyday rider, though there is some pushback against the approach. “There are some labor issues, because many of our labor unions would prefer to have the tickets sold the old way,” Prendergast said, though he added that “there’s plenty of work for our labor forces to be able to do other things other than selling tickets.” New technology will also make riders’ experiences not only easier, but safer. By 2018, both the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will feature positive train control, a technology designed to remove the potential for human error that could lead to train-involved accidents like the tragic

Spuyten Duyvil derailment of 2013 that left four people dead. The MTA received a nearly $1 billion loan from the Federal Railroad Administration to finance the installation. “We need to come to a day that as good as our locomotive engineers, our train operators, our operating crews are, we cannot depend on human performance to ensure the quality of life and (that) people are safe,” he said. Outside of the trains and stations themselves, Prendergast said the MTA plans to work with both local jurisdictions and developers to increase the number of transit-oriented housing along the Metro-North line. “The real estate community has always been willing to step up on that front,” he said. Other highlights of how the more than $2 billion dedicated to Metro-North will be spent include $432 million for the replacement of the Harmon Shop in Croton-on-Hudson, $532 million to replace the line’s remaining 140 M-3 rail cars, which date to 1984 and $250 million for Penn Station Access, which will connect the New Haven Line to Penn Station and add four stations in the Bronx.

WESTCHESTER & FAIRFIELD COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNALS BRIEFLY

MACQUESTEN BUYS MOUNT VERNON TRAIN STATION THE MOUNT VERNON WEST TRAIN station is “horrible looking and not well maintained,” according to Joe Apicella, “and that’s why we saw the potential.” On July 14, MacQuesten Development of Pelham, where Apicella is managing director of development, bought the train station from Davenis Realty Inc. for $3 million. Not only is the train station at 1 Mount Vernon Ave. in bad shape, the surrounding neighborhood is dilapidated and depressed. “I know people who go out of their way to avoid using that station,” he said. “They go to Fleetwood instead.” But MacQuesten sees potential. The train station is 22 minutes from Grand Central Terminal by express train on Metro-North Railroad. It is near Yonkers Raceway, the Bronx River Road corridor and the west side of Mount Vernon. “It’s an untapped market for commuters,” he said. And we’re going to take that hidden gem and shine it and make it work.” MacQuesten has invested deeply in the neighborhood. It is nearing completion of The Modern, an 11-story, 81-unit workforce housing apartment building at 13 Mount Vernon Ave. It has plans on the drawing board for 22 S. West Street Tower, a $71-million, 20-story mixeduse building across the street from the station. Owning the train station allows the developer to control the corridor. It has no specific plans yet but is exploring a range of possibilities. The station could be renovated, expanded or razed. Retail uses could include a café or food market or other “quality retail” for tenants who commute to the city. Apartments could be built. The 15,000-square-foot station has a bank, a karate studio and other small businesses as tenants. Apicella said the company will study the building’s architecture and history in the next few months, identify possible uses, and maybe, by spring 2017, begin work. “First things first,” he said. “We have to find out what we have here. Who the patient is. Decide how to treat the patient. And make the patient better.”

OSSINING IMPOSES FOUR-MONTH CONSTRUCTION MORATORIUM THE TOWN OF OSSINING ESTABLISHED a fourmonth moratorium on construction as it mulls turning suggestions mentioned in its compre-

hensive plan into a binding zoning code. “As we’re seeing an uptick in development in the town, we wanted to make sure that the planning and zoning boards both had the legal capacity to fully carry out what the intentions of the comprehensive plan were instead of just guessing,” Town Supervisor Dana Levenberg said. TWB Emma’s Levenberg said the moratorium is “not WCBJ trying the door 7.375”towclose x 7.125” h on development,” and that it will not affect any projects currently 6/14/16 underway or any submitted to the planning board prior to June 7. Changes to single-family

homes are also exempt from the moratorium. During the moratorium, board members will focus on a number of suggestions mentioned in the comprehensive plan, which was adopted in 2002 and updated both in 2007 and 2015. Those recommendations include evaluating buffer requirements for commercial uses, changing the zoning for the Maryknoll Seminary and for the GeneralBusiness 1 and Neighborhood Commercial districts and updating the code to define certain uses and terms. The town will also receive recommendations from a planning consultant and gather public input during the four-month period, which the board has the authority to extend. “We’re hopeful to keep it in a reduced time frame so that we aren’t hindering our ability to attract development that would be productive to the town,” Levenberg said. There was virtually no negative feedback

at the June 14 public hearing regarding the enactment of the moratorium, designated Local Law No. 6, and Levenberg said that though there were a few calls and emails “looking for clarity” on the matter, “I can’t really say we’ve had any opposition.” The town’s decision follows a handful of similar constructions halts in the area. Both Mamaroneck and Larchmont approved moratoriums on residential developments within the last year, and the town of Cortlandt established a moratorium in 2009. Levenberg said that with the positive growth the economy has seen in recent years, an increase in development applications has led many municipalities to take time to rethink their approach. “Before you just keep going, you want to make sure that you’re staying in the clear path,” she said. — Aleesia Forni and Bill Heltzel

DiNapoli: Mid-Hudson economy strong, population growing BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

hile economic growth in the mid-Hudson region has been relatively strong, high costs of living and doing business could slow things down. That’s according to an economic profile of the region released July 20 by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The report for the region — populated by 2.3 million people in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties — found that annual unemployment rates have dropped from 7.6 percent in 2012 to 4.7 percent in 2015. Preliminary data found unemployment was down to 3.8 percent by May 2016, according to the report. “The economy of the mid-Hudson region is strong and is being boosted by the post-recession economic growth in New York City,” DiNapoli said in a press release accompanying the report. “Unemployment rates have dropped and local industry is growing, particularly service-based companies. Going forward, the region needs to carefully manage its ongoing need for services and infrastructure improvements given the already high cost of living.” Mid-Hudson employers paid an average annual wage of $56,647, higher than any region in the state outside of New York City, according to the report. The report found that while Westchester County employers may pay overall higher wages then the rest of the state, the cost of living is significantly higher. Median home values in Westchester are nearly twice those statewide, while median household income is more than 40 percent higher, according to the report. Westchester’s 4.6 percent unemployment rate was in the middle of the pack of the mid-Hudson counties in 2015. Putnam’s 4.3 percent unemployment was the lowest rate, while the more rural Sullivan County had the highest unemployment rate in the region at 5.5 percent. Among cities in the region, White Plains had the lowest unemployment rate in 2015 at 3.8 percent, while Newburgh and Mount Vernon both had the highest at just above 6 percent. The health care and social assistance industry employs the highest number of people in the region, followed by government and retail trade. The number of construction jobs grew 12 percent between 2014 and the third quarter of 2015, continuing a recovery from the Great Recession. The report predicted continued growth in this sector, citing projects such as the new Tappan Zee Bridge project and a Monticello-area casino. Also growing were transportation and warehousing. While the report stated that the

sector is not “particularly large nor high-paying currently,” jobs have been fast growing, particularly in Orange County, which has easy access to several major highways. Warehousing and storage, a subsector of transportation and warehousing, grew 45 percent between 2009 and 2014, according to the report. Population in the region grew 5.1 percent from 2000 to 2010, outpacing statewide growth of 2.1 percent. While DiNapoli’s report said the region’s strengths, such as its proximity to New

York City, extensive infrastructure and an educated, population will help it continue to grow, he cautioned there was still work to be done. “The region has a number of challenges that will have to be addressed in the process,” DiNapoli wrote in the report. “Many of its water and wastewater systems are aging, and energy issues remain important topics of debate, as do increasing pressures on transportation systems.” The report cited a recent survey of mid-Hud-

son region officials that indicated they have transportation concerns, such as maintenance of local roads and bridges. The report also found water infrastructure to be a major concern for the region as populations continue to grow, particularly in Rockland and Orange counties. “Moving ahead, the region’s infrastructure challenges include funding for upgrading and expanding existing assets while achieving the desired balance between economic growth and quality of life,” the report concluded.

The use of social media in employment practices

ocial media has a major impact on a myriad of issues for a company’s workforce. Issues include longstanding social media topics — monitoring an employee’s personal email use, for example — to newer social media subjects — such as, does a company have a duty to monitor its employees’ off-duty use of social media? This article looks at four of those issues.

MONITORING EMPLOYEE EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGES An employee’s email may be monitored if it is done pursuant to a clear, written policy that communicates that the employee has no reasonable expectation of privacy. In contrast, a company may not monitor an employee’s email if its policy is vague and the employee took significant steps to ensure his or her communications were confidential. For example, a doctor’s emails to his lawyer via his work computer were neither confidential nor privileged where the hospital specifically informed all employees that personal use of email was prohibited. In contrast, where a company failed to disclose to its employees that the company captured all internet use on company computers, including employee’s access to her Yahoo mail, the employee’s emails were confidential. While employers have long been comfortable with the need to preserve email, the sanctions for failing to do so and its relevance to employment-related disputes, many employers are less familiar with the fact that text messages, an increasingly common form of business communication, are subject to the same rules. Courts have routinely found that employers can monitor text messages and have imposed a duty upon companies to preserve them where they contain relevant information. LIMITING EMPLOYEE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Whether a company may limit its employees’ use of social media and whether such restrictions implicate the National Labor Relations Act is a fact-specific inquiry. The Act permits employees to organize and engage in “concerted activities” for the purpose of bargaining, aid or protection and it prohibits employers from interfering with those rights. Banning employees completely from blogging or texting about the company,

or social media policies which contain overly broad “non-disparagement” provisions may violate the Act if those actions discourage or interfere with the employee’s rights under the Act.

DUTY TO MONITOR EMPLOYEES’ USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA A company does not have an affirmative duty to monitor its employees’ use of social media, absent a reason to do so. But if the company is aware that its employee is engaging in harassing, discriminating, or retaliatory activities through social media, then a company has a duty to take remedial action. Thus, for instance, a company cannot ignore its employees’ use of an electronic bulletin board or forum in which a co-worker is being harassed. Once a company is placed on notice of the improper conduct, the company has a duty to take appropriate action. DISCOVERABILITY OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN NEW YORK LITIGATION Social media may be discoverable in New York where it is potentially relevant to the issues being litigated and likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Courts will not permit discovery, however, if the request is overly broad or amounts to a fishing expedition. For example, in a personal injury case, the mere speculation that plaintiff’s photos and postings in Facebook might contradict plaintiff’s positions was rejected as a “fishing expedition.” In contrast, social media information that may undercut a plaintiff’s injury claims may be discoverable, if properly limited in subject matter and time. Employees’ social media use raises several considerations. First, employers should have a clear policy concerning an employee’s use of company computers, phones, email, as well as an employee’s use of non company email like Gmail and Yahoo from company computers so that an employee has a reasonable expectation as to what is and is not private. Second, the policy should not infringe on an employee’s protected activity, such as collective action, and should not be so broad as to prohibit all employee social media activity. Third, an employer may not avoid liability for an employee’s improper activity on social media where that activity impacts the

employer’s other employees. If the employer is on notice of the improper activity, the

AN EMPLOYEE’S EMAIL MAY BE MONITORED IF IT IS DONE PURSUANT TO A CLEAR, WRITTEN POLICY THAT COMMUNICATES THAT THE EMPLOYEE HAS NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. employer should take appropriate remedial action. Fourth and finally, a party seeking dis-

covery of social media in New York will need a factual predicate — for example, a social media posting demonstrates a contradiction or inconsistency with a litigation position - to obtain the discovery of social media communications. Myles Bartley and Jeffrey I. Carton are partners at Denlea & Carton LLP, a boutique litigation law �irm in West Harrison serving clients in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Bartley can be reached at mbartley@denleacarton.com or 914-331-0107. Carton can be reached at jcarton@denleacarton.com or 914- 331-0100. This is the second of three articles examining legal and business issues associated with using social media in hiring, during an employee’s tenure and in termination decisions. This article was adapted from a presentation by the attorneys to the Association of Corporate Counsel.

MID-YEAR REVIEW: HOSPITALITY, TECHNOLOGY & MANUFACTURING

SUNY New Paltz 3-D printing lab looks to lead regional manufacturing

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

3-D printing initiative launched by SUNY New Paltz three years ago is positioning itself as a leader for manufacturing and technology in the Hudson Valley. The Hudson Valley Advanced Manufacturing Center, launched in 2013, offers a collection of 3-D printing equipment, more than 40 machines in total, on the school’s campus. The center offers expertise on 3-D processes, such as materials and designs, for both businesses in the Hudson Valley and students. The lab recently received SMART Lab designation by Stratasys, a Minnesota-based manufacturer of 3-D printers. The lab is the first in the country to receive that designation. But that wasn’t even the first time the lab received a first-in-the-nation distinction. In February 2014, the school launched its Makerbot Innovation Center, a collaboration with the New York City-based Makerbot that started with 30 desktop 3-D printers. The lab was also the first of its kind in the nation. The 11,000-square-foot center now carries 40 of the desktop MakerBot 3-D printers, plus five industrial-size machines. With a budget between $50,000 and $60,000 a year, the center has advised more than 100 businesses on 3-D printing. A lot of that work is prototyping, according to Daniel Freedman, the director of HVAMC. By using 3-D printing to prototype a design, an entrepreneur or designer can save months in time and thousands of dollars during research and development, Freedman said. “If a company can get a turnaround on a prototype in a couple days, instead of weeks, they can innovate that much faster,” Freedman said. The center works with entrepreneurs, both in designing a prototype through computer-aided design software and deciding on the best material to use for the print. Depending on material and size, printing a prototype can cost as low as $3 to $4 or as much as thousands of dollars. SUNY New Paltz is betting that the presence of a large 3-D printing center can help

the area’s economy grow, drawing a range of businesses. “We think it can draw designers, artists to the region,” Freedman said. “We can offer some of the most advanced prototyping equipment in the world, and the expertise to run it.” They’re not the only believers. The Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. launched the Hudson Valley 3D printing regional economic initiative in 2013, an industry cluster with SUNY New Paltz at the center. “I don’t know if people fully comprehend how advanced SUNY New Paltz is in comparison to the rest of the nation in one of the hottest technologies in the world,” said Laurence Gottlieb, president and CEO of the HVEDC. Recognizing the school as a national leader in fine arts with a budding engineering program, the HVEDC helped lead the charge for the school’s Hudson Valley Advanced Manufacturing Center. The center has drawn about $13 million in investment since its founding. It received $250,000 from Central Hudson Gas & Electric, $250,000 from the small-business investment fund Hudson River Ventures, $850,000 in state capital funding through state Sen. John Bonacic and $1

million through the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council consolidated funding process. The biggest award for the center came from a $10 million SUNY 2020 grant to establish an engineering innovation hub. The hub will be 20,000 square feet, and is expected to create close to 200 jobs and generate $75 million in local economic impact. The HVEDC views the 3-D printing initiative as a type of bottom-up economic development. Local high schools have launched programs geared toward engineering, local community colleges have aligned coursework with SUNY New Paltz and New Paltz can offer top-level access to 3-D printing education and equipment, Gottlieb said. Graduates from the program are then able to pursue jobs in a fast-growing mechanical engineering field. “What you have is the ultimate economic model, which is workforce development alignment between high school, community colleges and four-year institutions,” Gottlieb said. SUNY New Paltz launched a mechanical engineering major in 2014, which now has 80 students, according to Freedman, who is also dean of the School of Science and

FCBJ

Engineering. The school also offers a minor in digital design and fabrication, part of a partnership between the School of Fine and Performing Arts and the School of Science and Engineering Once the new engineering hub is complete, Freedman said he’d like to explore creating more final-use products through the lab. He cited Invisalign, the transparent alternative to standard metal braces, as an example of a product that wouldn’t be possible without 3-D printing. “We are always looking out for those uses where we can say 'OK, here is where 3-D printing offers a great advantage over traditional fabrication methods,'” Freedman said. While Freedman was hesitant to speculate on 3-D printing’s future role in the global economy, he did say he believes it’s unlikely to displace large scale manufacturing. Rather, he thinks it can help spur innovation across multiple industries. “There’s so many advantages that it’s going to change something in this industry and then in this industry, and so on,” Freedman said. “So the impact in not enormous in any one place, but enormous if you look at how many different things you can use it for.”

Brewpub aims to be centerpiece of Bridgeport BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

rewport — which, as its name suggests, is a new brewpub in Bridgeport — will offer patrons a portal into the past when it opens in August. Utilizing a wide range of historic materials — from the wood being repurposed as its central bar to antique tin beer signs in the restrooms, to the large mural on its exterior extolling the “historically

accurate” offerings inside — the saloon aims to become an important part of the town’s bustling waterfront. “We’re definitely bringing back a feeling of Bridgeport’s past,” said brewmaster Jeff Browning, who claims to have the largest collection of beer memorabilia in the state. “And that includes reflecting the history of the building itself.” Located at 225 S Frontage Road in what once was a newspaper distribution warehouse, Brewport is also using steel bars from

WCBJ

a time “in the '60s and '70s when it was mob-run — they’d have the bars inside the building for extra security” as part of its wideopen design. Patrons will be able to view the Fermenators up close and watch its cook staff whip up pizzas in its open kitchen area. Various elements custom-designed by local craftsmen will be visible throughout, including the centerpiece bar, which includes old gears and other industrial elements within its copper-plate surface. As a collector, Browning has access to

thousands of beer recipes dating back to the early 20th century and plans to regularly draw from them to create historically accurate brews. Brewport will serve a steady rotation of eight house beers — both from the past and from Browning’s own recipes — and an additional 16 beers from other craft brewers; anyone looking for a Bud or Miller Lite will have to look elsewhere. Indeed, Brewport is adamantly not designed to be a typical boozehound’s paradise. While there’s a 75-year-old pool table and various board games, there will be no TVs. Beer will be served in 12-ounce glasses — “not those huge bowls that some places use,” Browning says, “where the whole idea is to get drunk as quickly as possible. This is meant to be a place where you can meet, enjoy and savor your drink, not get wasted.” While cocktails will also be served, shots will not and no smoking will be allowed, not just within the bar but anywhere on the premises. “Having to walk through huge clouds of smoke on your way into a place — it’s terrible,” he said. Bankrolling the roughly 12,000-square-foot space — which will include separate party/ meeting rooms and a large area for entertainment and movies — are John and Bruce Barrett, owners of West Haven billboard company Barrett Outdoor Communications Inc., who bought the building in the early 2000s. “We wanted to do something different with it,” Bruce Barrett said. “It was my brother’s idea to talk to Jeff, who we’ve known since we were in Cub Scouts.” Initially paling at the Brewport concept — “The restaurant business is the worst one to get into,” Bennett recalled thinking — they eventually agreed to take a careful approach, bringing in a team from Milford-based Top Line Consultants who will remain on site to help train its 70-plus employees over its first few months of operations. Browning said the location of the brewpub, which will seat roughly 300 patrons, was too good to pass up, given its proximity to the University of Bridgeport, Housatonic Community College, Webster Bank Arena and The Ballpark at Harbor Yard, along with easy access from Route 8. Thousands of cars reportedly pass Brewport’s location each day. Browning emphasized that his staff is designed to reflect the city’s diversity, with hires ranging from “the Congo to someone who grew up a block and a half from here.” In the 114-space parking lot, two attendants will be on hand to greet guests, he added, providing “everything from an umbrella to a jump-start.” Still under construction, Brewport is on schedule for a soft opening in August, followed by a grand opening in September, Browning said.

Encore! comes to Fairfield to cross the career divide from corporate to nonprofit BY REECE ALVAREZ

ralvarez@westfairinc.com

mong the casualties left in the wake of the 2008 recession were mature professionals over the age of 50 as a result of downsizing, layoffs or simply replacemed by a younger, cheaper employee. That isn’t why Encore! Hartford, a University of Connecticut program founded in 2010 was created, but it has become a significant part of the program’s purpose. “The idea came a little before the big recession hit,” said Encore! director David Garvey, who is also the director of UConn’s nonprofit leadership program. “We looked it as, ‘How can we get some good human resources into the nonprofit sector?’” he said. With 95 percent of the nearly 150 people who have taken the course since 2010 considered dislocated workers, the program has added reducing unemployment in seasoned professionals over the age of 50 to its mission. Now the program, which accepts applicants for its four-month course to train former

corporate employees for careers in the nonprofit sector, is building on six years of success and is looking for students to fill its new program in southern Connecticut, Encore! Fairfield County. Working in partnership with several nonprofit organizations including Fairfield County’s Community Foundation, The WorkPlace, Career Resources, Inc., RYASAP, the United Ways of Greenwich, Western Connecticut and Coastal Fairfield County and the Connecticut Department of Labor, Encore provides a two-month transition education held within nonprofits and taught by veteran Fairfield County nonprofit practitioners and UConn faculty. The program is capped with a two-month fellowship in a local nonprofit that produces resume-quality experience and vital networks that often lead to opportunities, according to Garvey. The program has a 91 percent employment rate from 2010 to 2015, 75 percent of which have gone into the nonprofit and a retention rate of 98 percent in that sector, Garvey said. Of the 91 percent, three-quarters find full-

time work and the remainder work part time, at times by choice, he said. The challenges facing an aging workforce are numerous, not to mention the difficulties that face those wanting to transition from for-profit to nonprofit industries. “Retirement is not what it used to be,” said Nora Duncan, state director AARP Connecticut. AARP is one of Encore’s partners and has a special relationship with the program through the financial assistance it provides for students who have difficulty managing the program’s $2,950 tuition. “We have gotten more and more people over age 50 starting small businesses and we have people staying in the workforce well past 65 and into their 70s because they either want to, or they have to,” she said. “If you are over age 50 it usually takes about 33 percent longer to get back to work than the same equivalent person who is younger than you.” Ageism and skepticism are problems on the part of nonprofits who can be leery of the lack of experience and perceived passion of former corporate employees attempting to transition to nonprofit work, said Garvey. Steve Elson, an Encore! Hartford alumni from the class of 2013, felt the barrier of ageism as he attempted to rebound after being laid off in 2008 by his employer of 10 years, real estate developer Konover Development Corp. of Farmington. Discovering a passion for working in affordable housing through temporary work with the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, but unable to find a permanent placement, Elson said the experience he gained at Encore! gave him the credibility to get his foot in the door. He now works for the Stamford affordable housing nonprofit, New Neighborhoods Inc. as the director of housing development. Another challenge facing corporate trans-

plants seeking work in the nonprofit sector is compensation disparities, said Garvey. “There are significant six-figure salaries at the senior levels on nonprofits, but for the people coming to us they are going to be looking at $50,000 to $80,000 coming in,” he said. “You are not going to come in as a CEO, though we do have two people who are CEOs now.” Lisa Roger, a 2010 alumni, worked for a data communication company for 15 years and was a director of software. She built a passion for nonprofit work through volunteering, but when the axe fell and she was in the job market she met resistance. “Essentially everybody that looked at my resume and I spoke to didn’t want someone from the corporate sector and wanted someone with nonprofit experience,” she said. “Also with position as director of software engineering it was certainly a much bigger salary than the nonprofits paid and that scared them off as well.” Like Elson, Roger said Encore! gave her the credibility to get past the interview and land her current role within the Norwalk Housing Authority. She will mark six years at the job in October. But challenges face nonprofits too, and they are coming around to the opportunities Encore’s professionals offer, said Duncan. “The state budget obviously is at a close to all-time low in terms of the challenges it faces,” she said. “The federal and state government are cutting dollars and nonprofits are cutting services, so they need to be innovative because the money is not going to just fall off a tree.” But as with Garvey, she is confident there is a beneficial crossroads between the breadth of experience a mature workforce has to offer and the needs of the overburdened nonprofit industry.
