airfield County recorded 313,000 square feet of office leasing activity during the second quarter of this year, according to new data published by CBRE. This is down 43% from the previous quarter and 36% behind the region’s five-year quarterly average — although it also is a 20% yearover-year improvement.

The region’s availability rate during the second quarter registered a 110-basis-point uptick from the first quarter to 27.7%, the highest level in more than 10 years, after experiencing 423,000 square feet of negative absorption. CBRE attributed this to large space additions in the Stamford CBD, partic-

ularly the 326,000-square-foot block at 400 Atlantic St. and an 88,000-square-foot block of sublet space at 333 Ludlow St. The volume of available sublease space totaled 2.57 million square feet, which accounted for 23% of all available space.

During the second quarter, Class A space accounted for 85% of all leasing activity, with renewals outpacing new leases among the transactions. Four of the five largest transactions of the quarter were renewals: Indeed’s 150,273 square feet at 177 Broad St. in Stamford; Merrill Lynch & Co.’s 52,318 square feet at 301 Tresser Blvd. in Stamford; Indeed’s 48,058 square feet at 107 Elm St. in Stamford; and Philips Domestic Appliance & Personal Care’s

Past and future meet in Foxwoods’ new bingo hall We don’t create gimmicks to enrich ourselves; we enrich our readers with news about where they live and work.

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

T

he bingo caller reached for his microphone and intoned in a deep but upbeat voice: “N 41.”

That was the first number called at the start of the inaugural game in the newly renovated and revamped High Stakes Bingo Hall at Foxwoods Resort and Casino.

Players from across the Northeast had gathered on July 13 for the event, with many standing in line for hours to buy their cards and stake out a spot in the hall.

High stakes bingo as played in the new hall is noted for having a higher buy-in per card compared to typical play. In the case of the first game played in the refurbished hall, each card was $25, with many players buying several at a time to improve their odds.

“Bingo has really been a staple of the property for over 30 years,” said Foxwoods President and CEO Jason Guyot. “Bingo was one of the first businesses that the tribe owned and operated prior to Foxwoods even opening its doors.

Fast forward 30 plus years later and we have a $7 million, brand new High Stakes Bingo Hall and we have a line of people out here waiting to get in.”

The new space measures 30,000 square feet and is set up to accommodate 2,200 players.

It took more than six months to properly outfit the space, which was occupied by the Festival Casino prior to the renovation.

The new hall features large screens which make it easy to see the latest numbers called from anywhere inside, color changing LEDs along the ceiling, and dedicated restrooms and concessions.

It also offers tablets which can be used to play additional bingo cards, though many players prefer the physical ones they mark by hand or use the tablets to supplement paper.

“It’s got the latest and greatest technology,” said Angelo Avallone, executive director of gaming at Foxwoods. “LCD screens, all around the room, WiFi access points, video tablets

would be added to payouts across the course of the day, with games being run in matinee and evening sessions Wednesday through Sunday.

Guyot said that over 100 employees are involved with running the High Stakes Bingo Hall, ranging from callers and concession stand operators to cashiers and support staff. And while it may not be the first game that many people associate with a casino, Guyot said that it is a big draw.

“Bingo has always been a big draw for us and some of our most loyal guests have been playing here for over 30 years,” he said.

“We also think that the addition of some of the new games and new technology will be of interest for many of our current players and hopefully attract some new ones.”

“We believe this new hall will attract some younger guests,” Guyot continued. “Don’t forget, it’s not 21 plus, it’s 18 plus, so Bingo can be a fun night out for anyone.

We have a couple of really fun events like ‘Bing-glow.’ We have a DJ going, we have bars set up with food, we think that’s really for all ages.”

Katonah couple demands $400,000 from Virgin Atlanticfor lost, and found, luggage

BY BILL HELTZEL

Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Katonah lawyer and his wife claim that Virgin Atlantic Airways owes them more than $400,000 for luggage it lost for eight days on a recent overseas trip.

Michael and Rebecca Gordon accused Virgin of violating the Montreal Convention — international rules that govern liability for damages caused by delays of passengers, luggage and cargo — in a complaint filed July 11 in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

“Despite numerous international reports of massive luggage handling delays and disruptions all across Europe,” the complaint states, Virgin failed to give them the “priority treatment they purchased with their business class tickets.”

Michael R. Gordon, whose firm specializes in construction and business law, filed the complaint on behalf of himself and his wife.

The Gordons had booked a three-week trip in Israel, combining an early 34th wedding anniversary at a resort, business meetings, recreation and education, and Sabbath observations. They bought two round trip, business class airline tickets for travel from New York to Tel Aviv by way of Heathrow Airport in London for $8,774.

They arrived at JFK Airport at 5:11 a.m.

June 19 and checked in three bags containing all of their essential clothing and toiletries. While awaiting their flight in the business class lounge, Mr. Gordon saw a Virgin email notifying passengers about problems at Heathrow and the possibility that their luggage would not be loaded onto the connecting flight.

When they arrived at Heathrow, they learned that their flight to Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv was delayed. Virgin offered no explanation, according to the complaint, but when the Gordons boarded the plane they heard the captain announce that the delay was due to luggage-loading problems.

The captain also said the plane would not leave until all bags were loaded, the complaint states, and when the flight did depart nearly 90 minutes late the captain announced that all luggage had been loaded successfully.

But when the Gordons went to retrieve their luggage at the baggage carousel at Ben Gurion Airport, they saw economy class customers picking up bags but could not find their bags.

They had arrived in Israel “with only the clothes on their backs, some books and other miscellaneous carry-on items, and no idea when they would be reunited with their luggage.”

Michael Gordon The Gordons filled out a lost-luggage form, including their itinerary, and then began their drive to the Beresheet desert resort for their anniversary celebration.

Along the way, they stopped at a shopping mall to buy clothing, toiletries and other items.

The $2,675 may seem expensive, the complaint states, but the items were necessary. The Gordons had packed costly but appropriate Sabbath clothing, for instance, for several events they planned to attend.

The Gordons claim that Virgin did not provide any information about their luggage and that they repeatedly tried to remind the airline about their itinerary.

Then after they left Beresheet on June 23, their bags were delivered to the resort. Three days later, a resort employee drove 130 miles to Jerusalem and delivered the bags.

The Gordons are accusing Virgin of vio-

lating the Montreal Convention for damages caused by delayed delivery of luggage, and breach of contract for not providing priority luggage handling as part of their business class tickets.

They are demanding $402,675, including the $2,675 paid for replacement items and $50,000 a day for “abusive conduct” for eight days. The complaint does not explain how the $50,000 per day calculation was determined.

Virgin spokeswoman Grace Peatey said a large number of bags did not reach their flights in time, “due to a series of significant Heathrow baggage system failures at Terminal 2 and 3,” and she apologized for the inconvenience the delays caused customers.

New Bridgeport event puts added focus on environmental justice concerns

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

T

he bandshell at Seaside Park in Bridgeport saw the first Seaside Sounds for Environmental Justice event on July 15, with environmentally oriented businesses and organizations joining forces with local musicians and vendors to fight for a better future.

Among the participants at the event that set up booths to discuss environmental issues were Groundworks Bridgeport, Save the Sound, the Bridgeport Farmers Market Collaborative and the Connecticut Sierra Club. They were joined by local vendors invested in those same topics, including Park City Harvest, an urban farm growing produce on Bridgeport’s north side, and Luna’s Cauldron Wellness Center, which offers a wide range of holistic services and locally produced CBD products.

Food Trucks offering Jamaican fare and vegetarian options were also on site, drawing long lines of people in between musical acts.

The entire event was organized by Katharine Morris, a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut’s Master of Public Policy Fast-Track program and the founder of UConn Collaborative Organizing, a group which helps coordinate collaboration between campus organizations.

“The genesis of the event,” Morris said, “is that I lived in Bridgeport for about five years until I graduated from Basik High School.

During my time here, I witnessed and experienced the issues of environmental racism by understanding and recognizing how different the facilities available to the community and the general issues they faced were compared to prior places I had lived.”

The contrast between Trumbull, where Morris previously resided, and Bridgeport was particularly stark.

“I was like, wait a minute, what are all these gas plants? What is with all the flooding issues and poor storm management?” she continued.

Morris said it was an immediate red flag for her that between the two communities, so close geographically but distant economically, the poorer one with more people of color faced worse pollution and was less able to respond to a changing climate. She felt motivated to use some of the organizational skills she gained through volunteering and working for nonprofits to take action and was inspired to hold the event at Seaside Park, both because she loves the natural beauty on display and its sharp contrast to the adjacent industrial zone.

With the idea formed, Morris found the process of making an event happen straight forward.

“All of the musical acts are local artists and are predominantly Black,” she stated.

“Some of them I knew, or I found them online or saw them perform live somewhere. And I was just like, ‘Wow, you can sing, you can play, you’re talented. Do you want to do this?’

I guess it may be surprising to some that you

F

itch Ratings has assigned a ‘AAA’ rating to $40 million of general obligation (GO) bonds, issue of 2022, to be issued by the city of Stamford, with a “Stable” rating outlook.

According to a new release from Fitch, the bonds are expected to sell competitively on July 27 and are being issued to provide financing for various city and school capital projects. Fitch has affirmed the ‘AAA’ rating on the city’s Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and outstanding rated GO bonds.

“The ‘AAA’ IDR and GO bond rating reflects Fitch’s expectation for Stamford to maintain healthy financial flexibility through future downturns, consistent with a history of strong operating performance and sound

reserves,” said Fitch. “The city’s strong financial profile reflects its moderate fixed-cost burden, unlimited legal ability to raise revenues and a demonstrated ability to reduce expenditures during economic downturns.

Fitch expects long-term liabilities to remain low as a percentage of personal income based on manageable capital needs and a commitment to full funding of its city-managed pension plans.”

Fitch added that the city’s “overall debt, including the current issuance, plus Fitchadjusted net pension liabilities are low at 5% of residents’ estimated personal income.

Fitch expects the burden to remain low based on a manageable capital plan, a rapid pace of principal amortization and city ordinances in place requiring full funding of its annual pension actuarially determined contributions.”

As a result, sellers will have to pay close attention to pricing. “ In Westchester, there were 1,590 single family homes sold in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 1,853 in the second quarter of 2021.

esidential real estate sales in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess during the second quarter of 2022 saw substantial declines from the previous frenetic levels of prior quarters, according to a new report from real estate brokerage Houlihan Lawrence. The decline in activity was counterbalanced by a rise in prices, with median home sale prices up 6.2% in Westchester, 9% in Putnam and 12.1% in Dutchess.

Sales activity declined 14.2% in Westchester, 20% in Putnam and 25.8% in Dutchess during the second quarter of the year, according to the Houlihan Lawrence report.

“The second quarter of 2022 showed signs that the market is returning to normal from the feverish pace set in early 2020,” Liz Nunan, president and CEO of Houlihan Lawrence said, “This is to be expected due to factors including inflation, stock market fluctuations and an aggressive interest rate hike.”

Nunan added that multiple bid situa-

There were 595 co-ops sold in the second quarter of 2022 in Westchester, a 14.7% increase from the 517 units sold in the second quarter of last year. The median sale price went up from $190,000 to $202,500.

In Putnam County, 240 single-family homes were sold in the second quarter of the year, down 20% from the 301 that had

sold in the same period last year. The median sale price went up by 9% from $442,000 to $480,000.

There wasn’t much condominium activity in Putnam during the second quarter of 2022, with 37 units sold, an 11.9% drop from the 42 condos that sold in the second quarter of 2021. The median sale price dropped 2.8% from $285,000 a year ago to $275,000 in the second quarter of 2022.

In Dutchess County, 490 single-family homes changed hands during the second quarter of 2022, down 25.8% from the 660 that sold in the second quarter of last year.

The median sale price jumped up 12.1% from $390,000 to $437,000.

Dutchess County condominium sales sank by 21.4% from the 159 units sold in the first quarter of 2021 to 125 units in this year’s second quarter. However, prices jumped with the median sale price going up by 24.4% to reach $280,000 from $225,000 in the first quarter of last year.

“While changes in the market are inevitable, there is much that continually attracts buyers to our area,” Nunan said.

Connecticut receives $119.5M in federal funds for small businesses

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

G

ov. Ned Lamont announced Connecticut’s small businesses will be receiving $119.5 million in funds through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI).

In a July 18 press conference, Lamont was joined by White House ARPA Coordinator Gene Sperling, House Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Wally Adeymo, the deputy secretary of the Treasury.

Sperling emphasized that the ARPA was not only about providing for the immediate recovery from issues brough on by the pandemic, but also to provide a means for growth.

“The second goal was to make sure that the recovery we had was an equitable one for underserved communities, hard hit communities, and equitable for Americans who too often faced barriers even before the pandemic hit,” he said Lamont said two major initiatives are to be launched with the funds: the Connecticut Future Fund to support entrepreneurs from

diverse and underserved backgrounds and the ClimateTech or “CT” Fund designated to support start-ups working in clean energy, environmentally conscious manufacturing and climate resilience. Lamont also highlighted that special attention will be paid to developing Connecticut’s potential to produce wind power and improve the supply chain in the state.

During the press event, Adeymo thanked Lamont for giving him the chance to visit the Hartford small business ecosystem and highlighted how important small businesses are across each of the states he visited.

“The thing we know to be true in this country is that small businesses form the core of our economy. They create the majority of jobs in America and they are critical to the infrastructure of our communities,” he said.

“This is probably one of the most long-lasting investments coming out of the American Rescue Plan,” Lamont said. “The American Rescue Plan in the near term kept a lot of our businesses, including small businesses and minority owned businesses going during an incredibly tough time.”

Each state involved in the program will WCBJ

While some states could opt for grants or forgivable loans, Lamont emphasized that he planned to leverage the funds 10-to-1 akin to the Connecticut Innovations program, which combines private venture capital with public funds.

“I think you’re going to see this 120 million grow to a billion dollars in investments over a period of time,” Lamont declared.

“It will represent tens of thousands of jobs

and I can tell that in a state like Connecticut, much like across the country, it’s not just the big businesses that will grow. It’s the young, entrepreneurial scrappy companies that are growing and expanding.”

“We are going to be investing equity, hopefully alongside other investors as well.

It’s more like the traditional private sector,” Lamont added. “That’s how you get the 10-to1 leverage that makes the money go further.”

“It’s a chance for artists and creative professionals to experience and benefit from the energy that New Rochelle has to offer rivaling New York City at a fraction of the price.”

Joanne Minieri, senior executive vice president and COO for construction and development at RXR, talked about RXR’s role as master developer for New Rochelle downtown as well as handling its own projects there.

“At RXR, we know that becoming part of the community is vitally important,” Minieri said. “We know that when the communities we develop in succeed, we succeed and we are incredibly proud of the ongoing collaboration with so many of WCBJ

of its elegance and sophistication and quality of design, it brings New Rochelle to a whole new level in terms of the multifamily dwellings that we are able to offer and that is exciting for all of us.”

Bramson said that the open space that is available for public use invites everyone to experience what downtown New Rochelle is becoming. He said the projects that have been built, are being built and have been approved for construction represent “a dramatic, positive transformation of what New Rochelle’s downtown is and a claim on the imagination of the next generation of residents and business owners who will want to plant a flag in this city.”

Bedford contractor sued over Mount Kisco Village Hall accident

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Bedford construction company is fighting two lawsuits over the question of who will compensate a worker injured on a job at Mount Kisco Village Hall.

The village sued BJB Construction Corp. on June 23, claiming that the contractor had failed to get liability insurance for the project.

Then Travelers Casualty Insurance Co. sued BJB on June 28, alleging that the contractor had falsely obtained insurance coverage.

The conflict concerns a 2020 contract to upgrade a village hall elevator.

BJB Construction, also known as Moy Construction and operated by Bernard Begley, won the $1.1 million job.

On June 21, 2021, BJB employee Kivanc Yoruk was injured on the job, and this past February, Yoruk, of Bergen County, New Jersey, sued the village in Westchester Supreme Court.

He is demanding unspecified monetary damages for injuries that he alleges have left him “lame, maimed and disabled.”

He argues that the village knew about dangerous conditions and was negligent by failing to provide a safe work place.

The village broadly denied Yoruk’s claims, arguing, for example, that his conduct contributed to injuries and that any defective condition was trivial or so obvious that he could have avoided it.

Then the village filed a third party complaint against BJB in Westchester Supreme Court. Their contract, the village pointed out, required BJB to obtain a $1 million general liability insurance policy and $5 million umbrella policy and to hold the village harmless from liabilities arising from the project.

The village is demanding that BJB pay for any damages that Yoruk wins in his lawsuit.

Then Travelers sued BJB and Mount Kisco in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

The Hartford, Connecticut, insurer had

Mount Kisco Village Hall issued general liability policies to BJB from October 2018 to October 2022. But the policies, according to Travelers, excluded coverage for certain work, such as elevator installations and general contracting.

BJB had applied for insurance as a contractor for driveways, sidewalks or parking areas, Travelers says, and indicated that it was not doing any ineligible activities.

BJB’s insurance broker had acknowledged that he understood a fraud disclosure statement that prohibited filing an application with false or misleading information, the complaint states, and that the broker had reviewed the statement with BJB. BJB asked Travelers to deem Mount Kisco as an insured party on its policy when an insurance claim was filed alleging that Yoruk was injured because of actions by the village.

Travelers discovered in its investigation that Mount Kisco hired BJB as a general contractor to install a new elevator shaft, and therefore the work was ineligible under the insurance policy.

“If the eligibility questions on the application were answered correctly,” the complaint states, “Travelers would not have issued the policies to BJB.” Travelers is asking the court to cancel the insurance policies retroactively, declare that it owes no obligation to the village, and declare that BJB or Mount Kisco reimburse it for any expenses in the Yoruk claim.

BJB did not respond to an email asking for its side of the story.

nourishing saline solution is administered intravenously, and it is part of a host of options that Garcia is offering to customers. She also administers Botox injections to slow wrinkle formation and micro needling, where precise stimulation of blood flow to the skin can be used to encourage the repairs to skin damage such as scars.

Vitamin therapy and women’s sexual health services are also available, offered in a visually serene space decorated in light blues and white.

Garcia was previously a pediatric intensive care unit nurse at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center for years, and now works as a hospital administrator at the Brooklyn Campus.

When the opportunity to open her own business within her own community arose, she knew she had to take it. The new business is located at the rear of the Urgent Care at 3000 Summer St., and Garcia chose the site to affirm the relationship between health and beauty.

“When I did my research and looked around the area, I saw either an urgent care or hospital or a doctor’s office,” she said.

“There was nothing in-between that bridges the gap between emergency health care and people who want to just feel good. You don’t want to always go and see a doctor when wellness can make you feel good and look good at the same time.”

“A lot of times,” she added, “you have outpatient providers that say, ‘Go home, take this medication,’ and there’s really no follow-up. Pure Chateau is essentially a way to give you guidance to help you not only feel good but look good. There are spas out there, but there’s a big difference between a medical spa and a place you go just to get a massage.”

Along with being a nurse and an entrepreneur, Garcia is also a busy mother.

“I have a 10-month-old and a three-yearold daughter,” she said. “My inspiration for opening up this wellness med spa came after I had my children. I never felt like my insides matched how I looked.”

Garcia explained that it is important for people to feel comfortable with how they look, both for the sake of their mental health and to ensure that they are able to fully recover from both physical ailments and the social and economic stress of the past few years.

“In the future, I’m looking to provide yoga services and meditation down the road,” Garcia said of her plans. “I’m going to be listening to the community and what they want, provide them with what they need to relax and regroup and get in touch with themselves.”

Fairfield County— 24,841 square feet at 1600 Summer St. in Stamford.

The largest new lease of the quarter was Subway Restaurants Inc.’s 87,300-square-foot new headquarters at 1 Corporate Drive in Shelton.

CBD zones accounted for 41% of second quarter leasing activity, down from 44% in the first quarter. The Stamford CBD had the most leasing activity for the fifth consecutive quarter with 119,000 square feet, although that figure was also 38% below the five-year quarterly average. But activity in this submarket was driven by smaller transactions — the largest lease was Mirador LLC’s 20,000-square-foot relocation to 850 Canal St. The Fairfield East market had the second-largest leasing total at 97,000 square feet, with Subway Restaurants being the primary force of energy in that submarket. By the end of the second quarter, Fairfield East passed its five-year average by 93%.

The average asking rent for office space in Fairfield County during the second quarter was $35.17 per square foot, up 2% from the first quarter and flat year-over-year. The Stamford CBD had the largest quarterly rent hike, up 4% to $46.62 per square foot. The Greenwich CBD’s asking rent of $89.66 per square foot was virtually unchanged from the first quarter and down 4% from one year ago.

On a year-to-date measurement, the region’s 857,000 square feet of leasing in the first six months of 2022 was up 20% from the same period in 2021. Four of the seven submarkets in Fairfield County recorded higher year-over-year leasing, with Fairfield East’s 200,000 square feet recording a 136% annualized upswing and the Greenwich Non-CBD up by 129% with 70,000 square feet.

WIN Program to Fund Internship to Empower MWBEs

I

n an effort to support minority- and women-owned enterprises (MWBE), the Business Council of Westchester will support Mount Vernon’s entrepreneurs by funding an Iona University internship to create a small-business resource site.

The students’ recommendations to Mount Vernon officials included appointing a small-business ambassador; organizing more workshops on how to bid for government contracts; and creating a database of all minority- and women-owned enterprises in the city.

The BCW’s Westchester Innovation Network (WIN) is funding this new initiative to continue WIN’s Practical Innovation Project that paired Iona University with Mount Vernon to identify projects that assist in delivering immediate economic benefit to the city. WIN is a multifaceted initiative devoted to propelling innovation as the underpinning for the future economic growth of Westchester County.

“The business community must drive innovation in our region by supporting efforts that help companies of all sizes succeed,” said Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of the BCW. “Our support for this internship is a fruit of WIN’s pairing of Iona with Mount Vernon to identify immediate measures that can be taken to uplift small businesses.”

The new internship follows an April forum that students at Iona’s Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation had with small business owners at Mount Vernon City Hall, where the business owners expressed their challenges in being certified as minority- and womenowned enterprises.

In May, the students delivered an action report analyzing the MWBE certification process and made recommendations to provide greater transparency and efficiency in getting necessary certifications. The students outlined several steps Mount Vernon can take to help small businesses secure municipal contracts, including the creation of a microsite, which is expected to be completed by September.

“During the spring semester I worked with Mount Vernon and my classmates on solutions for the city’s entrepreneurs who need more easily accessible information to win government contracts,” said Isaiah Williams, who is pursuing a double major in entrepreneurial leadership and computer science at Iona University. “This internship will allow me to apply my creative and design skills to create a userfriendly experience for Mount Vernon’s small businesses.”

“The Hynes Institutes empowers its students to learn outside the lines by exploring their entrepreneurial mindsets. This summer project is an excellent opportunity for one of our students to experience the real-world circumstances facing vendors that work with our local municipalities,” said Christoph Winkler, founding program director of the Hynes Institute.

“With their research project, the Iona students helped us to assess what we needed in terms of helping our minority- and women-owned business enterprises. Now that we have identified needs, our summer intern from Iona will help us create a resource that will help our city’s small business community become more successful in winning government contracts,” said Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard.

Feds go after Yorktown Heights man again for unpaid taxes

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he IRS, claiming it has exhausted all administrative remedies to collect overdue taxes from a Yorktown Heights couple, is demanding the sale of one of their properties to satisfy the obligation.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams sued Phillip Liu and Ellen Chan-Liu on July 7 in U.S. District Court, White Plains, to recover $70,295 for the U.S. Treasury.

Liu, the former chief financial officer of Guild Concepts Ltd., a White Plains marketing company, has served time in federal prison for embezzling and

14

JULY 25, 2022

misappropriating funds from an employee pension plan. And over the past 15 years the IRS has assessed him for millions of dollars in taxes and penalties, most of which appear to have been paid off.

The current case concerns unpaid taxes on income in 2009, the year he was released from prison. Liu, according to the complaint, underreported his income by $88,159. In 2012, the IRS assessed $38,948 in taxes and penalties.

The tax bite has grown to more than $70,295, but despite demands by the IRS, Liu and Chan-Liu, his wife, have allegedly neglected or refused to pay off the debt.

The feds’ proposed remeFCBJ

dy is to compel the sale of a 3-bedroom condominium in Elmhurst, Queens, that the couple bought in 1999 and rent to a son. The property is worth about $425,000, according to the complaint, and has a mortgage balance of $106,404.

The government is asking the court to declare that Liu’s interest in the property is subject to a valid federal tax lien, direct any current occupant to leave the property, order the condo to be sold by the U.S. Marshal, and apply Liu’s share of the proceeds to the tax debt.

Attempts to find contact information for the couple, to ask for their side of the story, failed.

Liu’s tax troubles appear to stem from the Guild Concepts

embezzlement.

From 1998 through 2003, Liu didn’t deposit more than $351,000 in contributions to the pension plan, according to court records, and in 2003 he made unauthorized withdrawals of more than $996,000. In all, he deprived 52 employees of nearly $1.35 million in pension benefits.

Liu had emigrated as a child from Hong Kong, where the family had maintained a middle-class lifestyle in China, according to a 2005 sentencing memo by his attorney. But in the U.S. his parents struggled, and the family atmosphere was poisonous and abusive.

Liu diverted pension funds to cover Guild Concepts payroll taxes and operating costs,

according to his lawyer. But he also gambled to escape stress.

From 2002 through 2004, for example, he lost $454,105 gambling at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

In 2004, he pleaded guilty to theft from the pension plan and to issuing fraudulent quarterly reports. In 2005, he was sentenced to 57 months in prison.

In 2007, the IRS assessed Liu for more than $1.3 million for failure to collect employment taxes. By January 2020, the debt had been reduced to about $436,000.

In 2019, he was assessed more than $2.1 million for employee benefit plan excise taxes. Last year, the IRS released that tax lien.

Ulster receives $3.96M for trail project

Pkatz@westfairinc.com

U

lster County has received $3.96 million in Federal Highway Administration funds through New York state to convert 2.5 miles of an unused former railroad corridor into a multiuse trail with pedestrian bridges. The rail corridor had been used by the Ulster & Delaware Railroad (U&D). The total project cost is $4.95 million with Ulster County contributing $990,000 in funding.

The trail will be 10 to 12 feet wide. The project offers an opportunity to access the Shandaken Wild Forest area with its existing network of hiking, mountain biking and cross country trails, as well as provides

BY PETER KATZ

access to the adjacent Belleayre Mountainside. Backers of the project have said it will act as a regional economic driver, providing economic opportunities through increased recreational tourism.

Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan said, “Ulster County is a statewide leader in investing in our trails and protecting our environment. This award will bolster the economic growth and environmental initiatives that we’ve seen come through these infrastructure investments.”

“The Ulster County Trails Advisory Committee (UCTAC) is delighted by Ulster County’s success in securing funding to preserve, restore and repurpose this historically unique and important section of the county’s abandoned Ulster & Delaware

rail corridor, including the iconic Giggle Hollow Trestle and famed double-horseshoe curve above Pine Hill,” said Kevin Smith, chairman of UCTAC. “It’s impossible to overstate the many active recreation/transportation connections and opportunities the Shandaken Rail Trail will make possible between Belleayre Beach, Pine Hill, Belleayre Ski Center and other New York state lands and trails.”

Ulster County’s project proposal was based on a Shandaken U&D Feasibility study, which was completed by the Ulster County Transportation Council in 2021.

The county recently completed the conversion of 11.5 miles of the same former U&D railroad corridor along the Ashokan Reservoir from West Hurley to Boiceville into a trail.

HV to receive state farmland protection funds

Pkatz@westfairinc.com

N

ew York state is allocating $6,406,100 to protect 768 acres of farmland from development in the mid-Hudson region. The money is part of more than $38 million that is being spent through the Farmland Protection Implementation Grants program.

Throughout the state, there are 40 projects that have been funded to protect a total of 11,772 acres of farmland. The program is designed to help keep the agricultural land in production and ensure the long-term viability of New York’s farming operations.

The new grants were announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul on July 18.

The Farmland Protection Implementation Grants Program provides financial assistance to counties, municipalities, soil and water conservation districts and land trusts to enable them to implement farmland protection

activities consistent with local agricultural and farmland protection plans. The most frequently funded activity under the Farmland Protection Implementation Grants Program is the purchase of devel-

opment rights on individual farms.

Those transactions help farmers realize the revenue they would receive by selling out to developers while still being able to continue operating the farm. The program

also can pay costs associated with amendments to local laws affecting agriculture, putting in place option agreements for land and covering some costs associated with agricultural conservation easements.

Three grants were awarded for projects in Dutchess County.

All went to The Dutchess Land Conservancy. The organization is receiving $923,757 to protect 187 acres on Cedar Ridge Farm, $1,460,000 to protect 144 acres on Obercreek Farm and $615,299 to protect 109 acres on Primrose Hill Farm.

In Orange County, the town of Warwick is receiving $1,406,100 to protect 200 acres of the Astorino Farm.

In Putnam County, the Westchester Land Trust has been awarded $2,000,000 to protect 128 acres on Ryder Farm.

“We must continue to protect New York’s precious farmland so our agricultural footprint can grow and so our producers can thrive for generations to come,” Hochul said.

Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado said, “Protecting our state’s farmlands is one of the most important things we can do to maintain the economic viability of the state’s agricultural industry.”

HUDSON VALLEY Think Dutchess Alliance: one-stop shop for business

BY PAMELA BROWN peebwriter@aol.com

T

he nonprofit Think Dutchess Alliance for Business, headquartered in Poughkeepsie, is designed to get businesspeople to do just what its name implies: think about Dutchess as a place to do business.

“We are tasked with business attraction, business retention and expansion, entrepreneurship support and marketing the county as an ideal place to work, live and enjoy,” Sarah Lee, CEO of the organization, told the Business Journals. “We are more of a referral service, where businesses can contact us when they have a business-related question and we can connect them with the right program or person.”

Established in 2016, Think Dutchess has as its mission reducing underemployment, increasing employment and providing assistance and financial incentives for the formation, retention, expansion and attraction of not-for-profit and for-profit businesses to improve the economic vitality of the county.

“For retention and/or expansion we can help businesses hire, retain or upskill their workforce,” Lee said. “We can connect businesses to funding opportunities and connect businesses to each other.”

Working with businesses of all sizes, from the solo entrepreneur to large corporations, including family-owned businesses, agricultural enterprises and creative firms, Think Dutchess Alliance is a one-stop shop that can help identify space for a relocation or expansion and provide technical assistance for business support, including in areas such as workforce, financing and incentives. Think Dutchess collaborates with Empire State Development (ESD), an organization that facilitates business growth and job creation across New York state, and more than a dozen other agencies for local business development needs and activities in Dutchess County.

“We work together on business attraction projects and we often provide the technical assistance for local business for state programs related to business,” Lee said.

“We’re fortunate to have I-84, the Taconic and the Thruway nearby as well as a commuter rail and Amtrak. We also have a highly educated population and a diverse business community. For the small business and entrepreneur, we can be a lowrisk alternative to being in New York City

Lee pointed out that as a result of the pandemic, Dutchess County has seen a growth in the small-business sector.

“We saw an influx of new residents moving to Dutchess County, many to do remote work from here but some people are choosing to start a business rather than go back to the office or have found an opportunity to start a business from where they love to live,” Lee said. “While most of our programs are tailored to for-profit businesses, we are able to provide some assistance to nonprofits.”

One for-profit example is Crepini, a Brooklyn-based family-owned food manufacturer that moved to a state-of-the-art facility in Fishkill that allowed them to grow their business both in terms of revenue and units produced.

WCBJ

“Initially the business needed help to facilitate incentives in New York state as a manufacturer. There were logistic needs as well — hiring over 100 new employees and retaining the employees who moved up here from Brooklyn. We needed assistance in many areas of our business and Think Dutchess Alliance along with the county executives and the ESD were very welcoming and responded to our every need,” Paula Rimer, CEO of Crepini, told the Business Journals. “We received New York state ESD job credit and equipment credit incentives up to $2.5 million, which we have already been taking advantage of since 2020. We have been introduced to the area’s Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Industry, organizations which have helped with hiring as well as other incentives.”

Rimer expressed appreciation for all Hudson Valley has to offer.

“We love being in East Fishkill for its

proximity to major highways and we have saved money on logistics and utility rates which are second-to-none,” said Rimer. “We love having access to the area’s hardworking people who live nearby and to the area’s culinary gourmet restaurants and many parks and hiking trails. We feel right at home here.”

Lee sees great potential for businesses to prosper in Dutchess County.

“While we are still impacted by national economic trends, we have a diverse business environment made up of several industries of different sizes that cushion us from dramatic swings,” Lee said. “For example, if one industry or employer is on a downturn there are many other industries that can help keep Dutchess County’s economy stable. Also, as a result of our business attraction program, more businesses are recognizing the benefit of having a location in Dutchess County, so we are seeing more and more interest in our county.”

County Executive George Latimer and Dr. Sherlita Amler at Monkeypox news conference July 15.

Monkeypox a concern with local cases slowly increasing

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he number of Monkeypox cases in the U.S. can be expected to continue growing according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although not nearly as rapidly as did Covid19 early in its outbreak. Monkeypox spreads differently than does Covid, with direct contact with either an infected person or an object touched by an infected person usually being necessary for it to spread.

As of July 18, there were 16 cases of the disease reported in Westchester County, compared with 13 cases in all of Connecticut. There were 489 confirmed cases in New York state and 1,814 nationwide. The Connecticut patients live in Fairfield, New Haven and Hartford counties according to the state’s Department of Public Health.

Connecticut has received a limited supply of the JYNNEOS Monkeypox vaccine from the federal government, as has New York.

“At the present time, our top priority is

ensuring access to post-exposure prophylaxis and then expanding to a larger pool of at-risk persons when our vaccine supply allows us to do so,” said Connecticut’s Commissioner of Health Dr. Manisha Juthani.

During a news conference in White Plains, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Westchester County Commissioner of Health Dr. Sherlita Amler both emphasized that Monkeypox is different from Covid-19 in that it is not widely spread through the air and usually requires direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with an infected person’s secretions to be transmitted. Alternatively, it can be transmitted through mutual contact with an object.

The U.N. World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out that the virus can be picked up from contact with an infected animal or from prolonged exposure to droplets from an infected human. WHO also said that Monkeypox symptoms usually last two to four weeks and can be severe.

WHO said that from 3% to 6% of Monkeypox cases are fatal.

Amler said that people do not need to wear a mask to avoid being infected by Monkeypox.

“Monkeypox really spreads less easily than Covid and, in fact, it was discovered about 50 years ago and as you know we’ve had almost no spread of Monkeypox in the last 50 years and in general the cases were mostly confirmed to the continent of Africa,” Amler said. “It’s really a disease where its primary transmission is skin-toskin.”

Amler said that although you can have a fever with Monkeypox, the symptoms include intense headache, swelling of the lymph nodes, muscle aches and an unusual rash that can blister and crust over.

Amler said that with Monkeypox, testing is done by running a swab across the skin rash, unlike Covid where a swab is used to take samples from nasal passages.

“With Monkeypox, the vaccine we’re using here in New York is called JYNNEOS and it is FDA approved,” Amler said. “It is not approved for anyone less than 18 years of age. If you have an exposure to FCBJ

Monkeypox and you get the vaccine within four to 14 days after your exposure, you may potentially prevent the disease or if you have the disease the symptoms may be less severe.”

Amler emphasized that people do not need to be alarmed about Monkeypox but do need to understand what the disease is, how it is spread and what to do if they become exposed to it.

Latimer said that the county has received a limited supply of Monkeypox vaccine from the supply the federal government provided to New York state, with doses distributed to Westchester Medical Center, St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers and Open Door Family Medical Center. He said that 50 doses were reserved for the Westchester County Department of Health. Latimer announced that the county would be scheduling appointments for vaccinations at the county’s health clinic at 134 Court St. in White Plains.

“We want to try to, as best we can, address the need as it manifests itself,” Latimer said. “We know that when dealing with a health issue, things change.”

Good Things BUSY MEETING FOR ARC WESTCHESTER The Arc Westchester recently hosted its 73rd annual Membership Meeting. The virtual event featured special guest Erik Geizer, CEO of The Arc NY; welcomed a new board president; honored the Advocate of the Year; and provided updates on the state of the organization.

Pleasantville resident and corporate security executive for the BMW Automobile Corporation in the Americas Jeff Wood was elected president of the board.

Noah Kuntz, a participant in The Arc Westchester’s Choices Program, was honored with The Richard P. Swierat Advocate of The Year Award. He is an advocate for people with disabilities and a champion for his peers who are seeking employment. Tibi Guzmán, executive director and CEO of The Arc Westchester, announced that the Chapter was recently recertified by The Council on Quality and

Leadership (CQL).

She said, “Our Chapter is strong thanks to a dedicated staff and Board, passionate members and advocates and partners who believe in our work. We look forward to a bright future and are delighted to have Mr. Wood leading our Board during this time.”

Founded in 1949, The Arc Westchester is the largest agency in Westchester County supporting children, teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. The organization’s 850 employees provide more than 2,000 individuals throughout the county with a broad range of innovative and effective programs and services designed to foster independence, productivity and participation in community life.

EXEC DOESN’T FORGET HIS HOMETOWN CEO of Paraco Gas in Rye Brook, Joe Armentano, presented the Boys and Girls Club of Mount Vernon with a check for $10,000 at a recent “Lunch and Learn” event.

In his presentation to the children of the summer camp program, Armentano shared some of his life lessons and stressed the importance of finding a mentor to help guide you — such as the essential work being done by the Boys and Girls Club.

“There is nothing more important for children to understand than the importance of education, attaining self-confidence and gaining valuable experiences that make them independent and self-sufficient,” said Armentano The donation will support youth programs offered by the Boys and Girls Club.

A family-owned company with over 50 years of experience in energy, Paraco is one of the largest privately owned propane companies in the Northeast, currently servicing eight states with more than 120,000 residential and commercial customers.

At the recent Bruce Museum Board of Trustees meeting, Chair James B. Lockhart III and Executive Director Robert Wolterstorff, reported on the exciting advances of the New Bruce building program and the remarkable progress since the Topping Out ceremony last June. Having raised over 90% of the required funding, there is only $5 million left to raise. Although the Campaign for the New Bruce is nearing completion, there are still many opportunities for participation.

During the past year, the museum hired Curator of Art Margarita Karasou-

las, who is planning the launch of the new permanent art gallery spaces, as well as the opening spring 2023 show in the changing art gallery. Wolterstorff also reported on collection acquisition highlights for the year, which included the two major bequest announcements totaling over 70 important paintings, drawings and sculptures.

The museum’s June Fiscal Year 2022 revenues will be about 20% more than budgeted due largely to its successful gala in May, which had 430 attendees.

New trustees joining the board are

Stephen Corman, Michael A. Kovner, Nisha Kumar, Angela Timashev and Jacqueline Adler Walker.

The Bruce Museum’s Board of Trustees elected James B. Lockhart III and William Deutsch as co-chairs. Joining them on the Executive Committee are Vice Chairs Simone McEntire and Heidi Brake Smith; Treasurer Patricia W. Chadwick; Assistant Treasurer Rebecca A. Gillan; Secretary Ellen A. Flanagan; and Members-at-Large Robert H. Lawrence Jr., Susan E. Lynch and Charles M. Royce. Both Lynch and Royce were also elected Honorary Board co-chairs.

TWO BUILDINGS IN NEW CANAAN FOR SALE Choyce Peterson Inc., a commercial real estate brokerage firm, recently announced that it has been appointed by Melissa and John Engel, principals of E Properties LLC, as the exclusive listing agent representing the sale of their free-standing buildings at 199 and 215 Elm St. in New Canaan. The Choyce Peterson Capital Markets team is made up of Vice President Scott Peterson, Principal John Hannigan and Vice President Charlene O’Connell.

Both buildings at 199 and 215 Elm St. benefit from a highly visible, central location in downtown New Canaan within walking distance of local boutiques, restaurants, markets and located across the street from the New Canaan Metro-North Train Station. A landmark building with period details and an abundance of natural light, 199 Elm St. is fully leased to long-standing tenants, including the offices and Visitor Center for New Canaan’s Glass House. 215 Elm St. was constructed in 2016 with a very modern design and top-of-the-line materials. The present

199 and 215 Elm St., New Canaan.

tenants are Stewart’s Wine & Spirits on the first floor and award-winning Kathryn Herman Design LLC on the second floor.

There are two parking lots available to tenants and visitors.

Peterson said, “This sale presents a rare opportunity to own an investment property in an incredibly convenient location to both the Metro-North train and local shopping. While the buildings are fully leased, there is an opportunity for the new owner to relocate their office here.”

Choyce Peterson is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage with offices in Norwalk and Rye Brook.

Founded in 1997, it has negotiated millions of square feet of transactions in 42 states and Canada.

GOODWILL EXPANDS IN DANBURY Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut (GWNC) recently announced that it is expanding its footprint in Danbury with a new, 12,000-square-foot retail store and donation center in the Berkshire Shopping Center at 67 Newtown Road this fall. The current Danbury store and donation center at 2 Beaver Brook Road is expected to close July 31.

“Danbury, and its neighboring towns, continue to show tremendous support for Goodwill’s mission, both as generous donors and loyal customers,” Ken Bennett, vice president of retail and facilities, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut, said.

Since opening its doors in 1992, the donor and shopper count at Goodwill’s Danbury location has grown steadily. The new location – and larger facility – will allow the nonprofit to better meet the needs of the community and generate greater

The 2022 Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH) Golf Classic fundraiser took place Tuesday, July 12, at Hudson National Golf Club in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.

The annual event was sold-out and raised $210,000 to support the nonprofit hospi-

tal’s mission to offer patient-centered care through a unique combination of medical expertise, leading-edge technology and a commitment to humanity that’s close to home. “Philanthropy and events like this golf classic fundraiser fuels Northern

Westchester Hospital’s ability to elevate the scope and quality of superior health care. We are grateful to everyone who participated in today’s golf classic,” said Derek Anderson, NWH executive director.

BENEFIT CONCERT AT MERRYALL ARTS CENTER funds for the mission.

“For an organization dedicated to connecting individuals to employment, expanding one of our retail stores is a win-win,” Rocco Tricarico, president and CEO, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut, said. “Nearly doubling the size of our Danbury store will create more than 25 new positions here at Goodwill. At the same time, the proceeds generated by the store will also help fund our mission for providing career services and empowering job seekers throughout the state.”

Goodwill is looking to hire retail associates, shift supervisors and assistant managers for its newly expanded Danbury location. For more visit gwct.org.

EFFECTIVE ATTORNEY EARNS SECOND PROMOTION The White Plains-based law firm Fullerton Beck LLP has promoted Joseph Sauer to special litigation counsel — his second promotion in two years. Previously, in July 2020, he was promoted from associate to senior counsel.

“In a short time, Joe has taken on a leadership role in many ways, including expanding the firm’s elevator accident practice and playing a key role in our Child Victim’s Act practice,” said Eileen Fullerton, managing partner. “His experience as an assistant corporation counsel for the city of New York in the Bronx Tort Division prepared him to be an effective and versatile litigator and trial attorney.”

Sauer served five years as assistant corporation counsel for the city of New York, spending two years as a full-time trial attorney handling various cases for city agencies. In this role, Sauer obtained numerous favorable outcomes, including several defense verdicts, and received the Division Chief Awards twice for his outstanding work during his tenure.

Nearly 100 people showed up on Saturday, July 16, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Phase 2 of the Armstrong Court project at Building No. 6. Anthony “Tony)”Johnson, executive director and CEO of Greenwich Communities and Sam Romeo, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, hosted the event. Together with state and federal collaboration, Greenwich Communities has made great progress with its Phase 2, a $27 million project to renovate 42 housing units in buildings 1, 3 and 6. The one- and two-bedroom apartments have been renovated into three-bedroom units, which will better accommodate families with children. During Phase 1, 18 new townhouses were constructed.

Johnson said, “I want to thank our residents for allowing us to do this construction while they were still living here.

We were able to create enough space with the construction of Phase 1 and buying other buildings in town to maintain residents on site during construction.

That’s amazing. Try moving 84 people around. With their cooperation, we were able to do that.”

Romeo said, “Moving forward after Armstrong Court, we own properties that can accommodate another 300 units into our housing inventory.”

Celebrating the new construction and hard-hat tour.

With more than a dozen community leaders participating, Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh and Mid Hudson Construction Management (MHCM) hosted a hard-hat tour highlighting the extensive renovations to the college’s Guzman Hall, the future home of the Desmond Center for Community Engagement and Wellness.

Newburgh Mayor Torrance Harvey MSEd ’03, Newburgh Councilwoman Giselle Martinez ’20, Newburgh Councilman Anthony Grice MSEd ’07, Newburgh Ministry Executive Director Colin Jarvis and others toured the building on Friday, July 8. On hand from the Mount were Jason N. Adsit, president of the college; George Abaunza, vice president for Academic Affairs; Nikki Khurana-Baugh, vice president

for Advancement; as well as Scott and Ray Travis, owners of MHCM. The tour was led

by Jim Tierney, project superintendent.

Funded in part by grants from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation and New York State’s Higher Education Capital (HECap) program, the Desmond Center will provide accessible and equitable educational, health and wellness services for community members and families in the local area, including the uninsured, while also creating learning opportunities for Mount students. Once completed, the college expects the center to serve more than 4,000 residents per year.

MHCM is renovating the first two floors of Guzman Hall to help support the Desmond Center’s mission. The finished

space will include a two-story glass atrium, exam rooms for patients and offices for health-care staff and students. The former Founders Chapel is being transformed into a multipurpose room with expansive windows, providing views of campus and the Hudson River. Stained glass from the chapel will be incorporated into the new design to preserve the character of the former structure. The top floors will house resident students.

Good Things WESTCHESTER EARNS 70 EMMY NOMINATIONS Westchester County was well-represented in the recent Emmy Awards with 70 award nominations across several categories going to productions that filmed in the county over the past year.

County Executive George Latimer said, “Whether for comedy series or family dramas, period pieces or murder mysteries, Westchester locations are second to none. The Emmy nominations placed the spotlight on the diverse backdrops and film-friendly communities in Westchester County, well on its way to becoming ‘Hollywood on the Hudson.’”

“Shooting in Westchester is great because it has a huge variety, a great diversity and great range of locations,” said Scott Ferguson, executive producer, of the film “Succession.” “A lot of times you want to tell a story set in New York and somewhere else. Westchester is one of the first places I look for a convincing

‘somewhere else.’”

The Apple TV+ psychological thriller “Severance” received 14 nominations, including one for outstanding drama — going headto-head with “Succession.” In addition, Adam Scott received a nomination for outstanding lead actor, with several other acting nominations for the cast. The production filmed in several Westchester towns, including Mount Pleasant, Pleasantville, Scarsdale and Yonkers.

Westchester County Tourism & Film Director Natasha Caputo said, “We’re thrilled about the nominations, which showcase the amazing assets Westchester has to offer the television and film industry. It’s also a point of pride to see our locations featured in today’s most acclaimed and most popular shows. We congratulate all who were recognized and will be rooting for them in September.” The 74th annual Emmy Awards will take place Sept. 12.

INFLUENTIAL HV LEADER TO BE HONORED Nikki A. Hahn, CEO of the Women’s Enterprise Development Center (WEDC), an award-winning organization serving Westchester and the Hudson Valley, recently announced that Anne M. Janiak, a founder of WEDC and a pioneer in helping women achieve economic self-sufficiency and financial stability through entrepreneurship, will be honored with WEDC’s Legacy Award at the organization’s 25th anniversary gala Thursday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m. at the Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester. In recognition of Janiak’s accomplishments, the WEDC Board of Directors is launching the Anne M. Janiak Leadership Grant Program to support WEDC clients who have demonstrated strong leadership skills and achieved success in starting their businesses.

The evening’s other honorees are Wells Fargo, which will receive the Community Partnership Award; and Sawudat Abraham, owner of Baby Cubs Day Care Inc., who will receive the Enterprising Woman Award.

The gala will raise critical funds to empower women to build successful businesses.

Janiak stepped down as CEO of WEDC in December 2021, but remains a special advisor to the organization, which in 2021 assisted more than 1,200 clients and helped to obtain $2,851,240 in financial assistance for business owners. Since its inception, WEDC has assisted more than 10,000 businesses.

“It is pretty amazing to realize that Anne started WEDC with a $10,000 legislative grant and grew the organization into

one with a $2 million budget in 2021,” Hahn noted.

Among Janiak’s achievements were the center’s two designations as a Women’s Business Center by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in Westchester and the mid-Hudson, the launching of Spanish entrepreneurial training programs in 2000, and partnerships that resulted in expanding programs and services to WEDC clients and access to capital through microloans.

“In today’s climate, WEDC’s work has become even more essential, as we strive to level the playing field for women and minorities by providing the tools they need to achieve economic parity,” said Barbara H. Van Bergen, WEDC Board president.

Janiak is a former mayor of the village of Scarsdale, former chair of the Westchester County Women’s Advisory Board and former president of the Scarsdale chapter of the League of Women Voters. For six years she served on the Board of Directors of the Association of Women’s Business Centers (AWBC), a national association focusing on expanding opportunities for women entrepreneurs. She has received numerous awards for her efforts on behalf of women entrepreneurs. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College.

In honor of its 150th anniversary, Walden Savings Bank in Montgomery has donated $1,500 each to four community organizations that serve cancer patients, advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and help young people in need of mentors, and pets in need of homes. The grants came from a longstanding donation pool that bank employees contribute to throughout the year, donations of which are matched by the bank.

The organizations include Hudson Valley Cancer Resource Center, Newburgh LGBTQ+ Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and Take Me Home Pet Rescue.

“It’s wonderful to see the wide range of organizations our Walden Savings Bank employees choose to help with our donations,”

said Walden Savings Bank President and CEO Derrik Wynkoop.

The bank raises the funds through a company custom. Every Friday, Walden Savings Bank employees are allowed to “dress down,” with a small donation. Each staffer must contribute at least $3 each pay period for the privilege of dressing more casually on Fridays than the rest of the week.

The contributions go into the WSB Donation Pool; the bank matches them dollar for dollar.

Each month, the first $500 in the fund becomes one of 12 mini grants given yearround. Most years, the remaining funds are divided among Walden Savings Bank’s 22 departments. At the end of each year, each

department is allowed to donate its share to whomever they choose.

This year, to celebrate WSB’s 150th anniversary, the donation process was modified.

Employees nominated organizations and then voted on four of the nominees to receive the gifts.

Established in 1872, Walden Savings Bank is the 11th-oldest federally chartered mutual savings bank headquartered in Montgomery, New York. With a total of 11 full-service branches serving Orange and Ulster counties and a Loan Production office in Dutchess County, the bank’s progressive style of community banking provides products that cater to both the individual and the growing mid-size business.

ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S BEST HOSPITALS White Plains Hospital has been named one of the country’s Best Hospitals in the inaugural “Money” (formerly “Money Magazine”) national rankings. It is one of just 148 in the nation, one of only four in New York state and the only hospital in Westchester County to be included.

Money partnered with the Leapfrog Group, a health-care nonprofit that has been vetting hospitals for more than 20 years, to evaluate over 2,200 hospitals for inclusion in

the inaugural Best Hospitals List. Data from 39 performance measures reported in Leapfrog’s 2021 hospital survey was reviewed across seven different categories.

In addition, hospitals included in the Money Best Hospitals in America List must have earned an “A” letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for fall 2021. In May, White Plains Hospital received its 7th consecutive “A” from the Leapfrog Group for patient safety. The hos-

pital remains the only health care facility in Westchester County, and one of only 19 hospitals in New York state, to receive the highest possible rating of “A.” A member of the Montefiore Health System, serving as its tertiary hub of advanced care in the Hudson Valley, White Plains Hospital is a 292-bed not-for-profit health care organization. Its emergency service is the busiest in Westchester County, with more than 64,000 patient visits a year.
