Eigen said she sees technology in the form of smartphones and tablets used not to bypass stores but to hone and improve the in-mall shopping experience. The day she spoke was so-called Cyber Monday; the mall’s crowds that built into the evening hours seemed not to care. “C’mon,” came the timeless prompt in the parking lot. “Remember where we parked.” “Today people use all kinds of tools to shop,” Eigen said during a post-Black Friday sitdown at the Macerich-owned mall, one of 60 shopping centers in the California-based company’s portfolio. “They shop in stores, they shop online, they shop from mobile devices. But it’s clear that the in-store experience remains a very important — in fact, dominant — part of the mix.” Eigen said lower gas prices could be part of the profitable equation this year. In-store promotions that compete with the Web are also an attraction.

athy Silard, Stamford Hospital’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, sat at a round table next to her desk with her hands neatly folded in front of her. After presenting Stamford Hospital’s 640,000-squarefoot expansion project and its state-of-the-art talking points at numerous health care conferences nationwide, she retains her smile, her poised demeanor and her passion for the project. Among the biggest challenges of the $450 million construction project are, Silard said, the planning and scheduling. “The logistics have been challenging because we’re building a new facility on the site of an existing facility,” Silard said. “We’re focused on thinking about what’s going to happen in terms of construction, what’s the impact on patients and staff and how do we get out there and tell them about it. The hardest part that is yet to come is operating it once it’s open.” Stamford Hospital’s management has been carefully monitoring each step of the project since it first broke ground in May 2013. The single-phase construction builds on the hospital’s existing campus, providing more green space and specialized services such as pediatric and inpatient care as its network of patients and physicians grows. After demolishing a number of homes on the hospital’s perimeter, the campus will grow from 20 to 30 acres, creating a footprint for future health care services. The construction project, which is headed by Skanska USA, a Sweden-based company with a New York City headquarters, is expected to finish in spring 2016. The new 11-story building will be completely curtained with thermal glass panels, manufactured and installed by First Massey-Ferguson Neudorf Glass Inc., based in Branford. Currently, work on the internal mechanical systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing is underway and scheduled for an April 2016 completion.

DANBURY MALL AUGMENTS INTERNET WITH BRICK AND MORTAR BY BILL FALLON

bfallon@westfairinc.com he National Retail Federation pegged 2013 seasonal retail sales numbers up 3.1 percent compared with 2012. This year’s uptick is looking better still, with an NRF-predicted 4.1 percent improvement. Melissa Eigen, senior manager for marketing at the 1.3 million-square-foot, 180-store Danbury Fair Mall on Backus Avenue in Danbury, has been assessing the holiday shopping scene since early November when it began in earnest and sees the favorable metric playing out in full bags and packed parking lots. The mall generates 25 percent to 30 percent of its annual traffic in the holiday season.

Feds look at major expansion to rail routes BY MARTIN B. CASSIDY Hearst Connecticut Media

n 25 years, a commuter living in Fairfield County might be able to get on a train in Bridgeport and go to Long Island, through a tunnel under the Long Island Sound. Or ride to Bradley International Airport. Or get to Boston in less than two hours. Given that some days it’s difficult to get to New York in less than two hours, these options that are part of a Federal Railroad Administration plan to expand the Northeast rail corridor can seem impossible. But the economic importance of the region is so great, and the rail network so integral to it, that not doing so also seems impossible. “It’s a 100-year century forward plan for an investment in infrastructure which is on par with when they built the Long Island Rail Road and New Haven Line,” Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Jim Redeker said. The Northeast Corridor generates a fifth of the nation’s gross domestic product and is home to one in seven Americans. Train riders between New York and Boston account for just over half of the combined air and rail travel market. Between Washington, D.C., and New York, train riders make up nearly 70 percent of the air and rail market. Yet the rail system available hasn’t expanded much since it was built, mostly between the 1830s and the early 1920s, or even since it became clear in the 1970s and ‘80s that the advent of the automobile as primary form of transportation of commuters and goods was not going to be sustainable. And as the serious accidents and massive service interruptions of the last year and a half on the Metro-North line have shown, the existing rail network is crumbling. The result is a rail network that can’t grow much in the way of routes, number of riders or speed without a major federal-level effort. Under the Northeast Corridor Future being aired by the FRA now, the rail network throughout the Northeast Corridor running from Washington to Boston would look very different in the next quarter century, with trains capable of speeds of 220 mph cutting travel times in half, and possibly cities currently not served linked in to the system. “These investments are absolutely necessary to begin immediately and need to continue for decades,” said U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. “It’s going to be a fight but I am more hopeful because there is clearly a consensus around the need to create jobs and our economy.” What those jobs and the economy would look like in 25 years factors strongly into the

FRA’s planning. Jobs that don’t have bankers’ hours and that are spread out around the region would change the demand on the rail network, said William Wheeler, director of planning for Metro-North’s parent agency, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “The industries that are growing are anything but 9 to 5, and generate work in the off-peak, weekends and night,” Wheeler said. “The very nature of work is changing significantly like we’ve never seen, so when you are considering (adding) more peak capacity you need to ask, ‘Is the demand really going to be there?’” Demographics also will drive changing demand. A younger generation of commuters is expected to embrace transit more than its predecessors and will continue to push up ridership numbers, Rebecca Reyes-Alicea, program director for NEC Future, said. Finding the land to build out the rail network or even straighten parts of it out to allow for higher speeds would be difficult, but the political realities of such a massive investment may be the biggest obstacle as

Republicans now control the U.S. House and Senate and would be unlikely to fund major projects in notoriously Democratic strongholds throughout the Northeast. The FRA won’t complete estimates for a slew of new track, bridges and other potential improvements proposed under the Northeast Corridor Future plan until next year. In 2012, Amtrak estimated the needed upgrades between 2015 and 2040 to make higher speeds a reality would top $150 billion. The Northeast Corridor Future planning process comes as Congress and federal officials are also grappling with funding improvements just to maintain current service levels, a task Amtrak estimates would cost $10 billion. The current Northeast Corridor stretches 457 miles and carries more than 2,000 trains between Amtrak and eight commuter railroads, including Metro-North. “We definitely believe all the options are worth considering and are looking to the public and stakeholders to really define

what the role of rail should be and how much we are willing to support that,” ReyesAlicea said. The FRA’s proposed plan includes a range of options, from mega-projects to establish high-speed rail to less comprehensive changes that would maintain current service but not accommodate expected growth from region to region. Under the most expensive plan, a brand new Amtrak system would run through a hub in Nassau in Long Island before tunneling under the Long Island Sound to Stamford to connect north to Danbury and Waterbury, and even on to Hartford and Boston. A second option calls for a tunnel linking Ronkonkoma to New Haven en route to Boston. Fully built out, the system could cut travel times between Boston and New York from the current three and a half hours to 94 minutes, and from two hours and 40 minutes from New York to Washington to 94 minutes. The run from New York to Philadelphia, a trip that now takes an hour and 10 minutes via Amtrak Acela, could take 37 minutes. To do this, straightening out sharp curves and adding one or more tracks to expand capacity would be required on the 70-mile New Haven Line. The system also would furnish new direct connections to Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Philadelphia International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport and Worcester Airport for air travelers. Speaking from the perspective of the local economy, Joseph McGee, vice president of public policy for the The Business Council of Fairfield County, is pressing FRA staff to prioritize those upgrades to provide faster, more frequent service between Grand Central Terminal and major stops like Stamford, New Haven and Hartford, a goal he believes is within reach in the nearer term. “The really tough nut is Stamford to New York,” McGee said. “More frequent, safe and higher-speed commuter rail is a driver that would improve Connecticut’s economy dramatically.” McGee has advocated a “30-30-30” plan, which calls for 30-minute rail trips between Hartford and New Haven, New Haven and Stamford, and Stamford to Grand Central Terminal. The FRA plan assumes nearer term improvements in the Metro-North’s five-year capital plan will come to pass, including the just-beginning $428 million project to install an advanced collision avoidance positive train control on Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road trains and tracks and a » » RAIL page 4

Institutional investors bullish on hedge funds

nstitutional investors are favoring U.S. equities, private equity and hedge funds over fixed income and commodities. That and three additional findings highlighted the biannual study conducted by the Hamden-based Quinnipiac University School of Business’ Alternative Investments Institute and the 150-member Fairfield County-based Connecticut Hedge Fund Association. The survey shines a light on the plans of U.S.-based institutional investors, who together manage $1.12 trillion. Of those investors surveyed, more than 35 percent managed at least $20 billion and 80 percent managed at least $1 billion. Connecticut, according to multiple Web sources, is home to about one-third of all hedge fund activity globally. The other findings included: • Sixty percent of respondents said they chose to invest with hedge fund managers to reduce risk with a diverse portfolio; 40 percent made that choice for the absolute return it offered. That finding is consistent with increasing institutionalization of the hedge fund industry, according to the poll. • The most popular strategies in Quinnipiac’s results were event-driven, long/ short equity and global macro funds. • More than 50 percent of investors surveyed had additional liquidity restrictions during the financial crisis, which affected 5 percent or more of their hedge fund allocation. But 60 percent of the survey’s sample said they had seen no recent change in hedge fund liquidity restrictions, and one-third reported a decline. “Our survey results clearly show the current preference towards U.S. and Western European equity markets, as well as hedge funds and private equity,” said Osman Kilic, professor of finance at Quinnipiac and director of the AII, in a press release announcing the survey results. “It was interesting that the least amount of respondents favor increasing their allocation to commodities. Performance of U.S. equities, as well as commodities since the beginning of the summer, appear to support our findings. The S&P 500 is up by 5.96 percent at the same time the CRY commodity index is down by 11.87 percent.” Bruce McGuire, president of the Connecticut Hedge Fund Association, in the press release said the survey results show that investors remain bullish. “Despite the assertions of frequent industry critics,” he said, “recent data demonstrates institutional investor satisfaction with hedge funds is high and investors plan to maintain or increase existing allocations. In fact, the latest industry research found institutional investors are overwhelmingly satisfied with hedge fund performance in

their portfolios and the industry’s ability to meet investor objectives.” Asked for a general opinion of common investment types, the survey respondents proved bullish on private equity and generally favorable toward equity asset classes such as U.S. private equity and developed non-U.S. classes. They were split on emerging markets and relatively neutral toward hedge funds as an asset class. No bearish views on commodities were expressed, but 58.2 percent of respondents were negative on fixed income. Asked how they might see their allocations changing over the next year, investors, though bullish on U.S. equities, said they do not plan to assign additional capital to those managers in the near term, instead favoring hedge fund and private equity managers. Given that result, the alternative investment industry is likely to grow into the near future.

The investors also were asked if they were shifting their allocations to favor specific geographic locations. A clear trend emerged favoring Western Europe and lessening involvement in Russia. Forty percent remain bullish on U.S. equities, but as many favored reducing investment in the U.S. and Canada as favored increasing it. Two-thirds of Quinnipiac’s surveyed investors used a consultant to choose hedge funds and the same percentage used more than three years of performance data. Fifteen percent wanted to see one to three years of performance; less than 20 percent were willing to invest with what might be considered “emerging managers.” Respondents favored investing in large hedge funds, with 59 percent choosing those with more than more than $1 billion under management, 33 percent selecting funds

with $100 million to $1 billion, and 8 percent with funds in control of $100 million or less. The trend indicates the hedge fund industry is consolidating, and investment is flowing to the largest firms, which have a better performance record, according to Quinnipiac. During the financial crisis, a significant number of hedge fund investors reported losing access to at least some of their investments. Thirty-two percent of respondents said that they had more than 10 percent of their hedge funds under some kind of restriction (above and beyond the normal contracting environment). And 28 percent reported that 5 percent to 10 percent of their funds were restricted.

Business Council honors Bigelow

he Business Council of Fairfield County has been honoring members of the business community for their accomplishments and leadership service in the community for 38 years and did so again recently at a Stamford awards event. The Walter H. Wheeler Jr. Business Leadership Award is named after the former Pitney Bowes leader. “I am so pleased to accept this unbelievable honor, for all the employees of Bigelow Tea,” said company President and CEO Cindi Bigelow. Noting the average employee has been with the company for 18 years, she said, “I am accepting this award for our employees.” Under a business ethos that touches lives “one at a time,” Bigelow said, “We are moving mountains.”

$743 million proposal to provide direct access to Penn Station for New Haven Line runs. The state transportation department’s Redeker said one of the more utilitarian aspects of the FRA’s process is the creation of environmental impact analyses for megaprojects that will help expedite them when funding becomes available. Redeker served as chairman of Congress’ Northeast Corridor Infrastructure and Operations Advisory Commission, which has focused on the need to replace much of the corridor’s infrastructure that is more than 100 years old. Earlier this year, the group made a report

emphasizing the increasing fragility of the corridor’s aged infrastructure, while also warning that without major capacity expansions ridership demand on much of the corridor could be twice what available track space can provide by 2030. “All of our movable bridges, a new signal system, and positive train control are kind of a given but one of the messages I am trying to get across as part of this project is the basic investment we are programming across the Northeast Corridor is woefully underfunded,” Redeker said. “It is very clear there are needs for everyday commuters that really haven’t been invested at the federal level to bring the system to a state of good repair where it needs to be.” At the same time, Redeker said the pro-

cess is a historic opportunity for the government to establish a working plan to rebuild the region’s rail network to anticipate and accommodate economic growth for a century or more. “It’s ambitious but it should be, and it is hard to envision what it should be, and we need to think about things we don’t usually, like what do people 200 years from now need. For me this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we should do it right and do it well,” Redeker said.

Sikorsky to supply 102 helicopters to Army, Navy The U.S. Army and Navy will buy 102 new helicopters from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford. The Army will receive 65 helicopters — including 41 UH-60 Blackhawk models and 24 HH-60M models — at a cost of $771 million. The Navy has agreed to purchase 37 MH-60 helicopters for approximately $535 million. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., recently issued a statement praising the deal. “I am extremely pleased that the Army

and Navy have jointly continued their multiyear contract for 102 additional Sikorsky helicopters for this year,” Blumenthal said. That contract is valued at a total $8.4 billion. “I know that Sikorsky and its highly skilled Connecticut workforce will again deliver on time and on budget, providing our warfighters the most capable and modern equipment available.” The Navy had announced plans earlier this year to drop the purchase of 29 MH-60R helicopters for the fiscal year 2016

State gauges satisfaction QUEST FOR ‘A MORE ATTRACTIVE PLACE TO START AND GROW A BUSINESS’

ov. Dannel Malloy recently released the results of two surveys used to gauge the experience of small-business owners who applied for financial assistance under the Department of Economic and Community Development’s Small Business Express Program.

More than 70 percent of respondents in 2014 said they were very satisfied with their experiences. In the two surveys — one in 2013 and one this fall — the Connecticut Economic Resource Center polled a total 425 businesses that were funded and 77 businesses that were declined funding through the program. More than 70 percent of respondents in 2014 said they were very satisfied with their experiences, including professionalism of staff, how much knowledge staff had about a business and engagement with project managers — all increases from 2013. This year’s survey, conducted in September and October, received responses from 180 businesses that were funded and 19 that were denied. To date, 1,210 companies have received $171,632,484 in grants and loans through the Small Business Express Program, according to a press release from the governor’s office. “We created (the program) to ensure smaller companies have the support they need to expand, compete and create jobs and to make Connecticut a more attractive place to start and grow a business,” Malloy said in a statement. — Crystal Kang

Eigen cited a 2014 study conducted by Chicago-based global consultants A.T. Kearney, saying, “In total, 90 percent of all retail sales are transacted in stores. “It’s really not a question of bricks-and-mortar versus online shopping — shoppers today want both,” she said. “They want exceptional, in-person experiences in stores and at the mall and they also want digital access. The best retailers understand that real relationship-building happens at the store and they leverage this through great salespeople. A salesperson is something you don’t get online.” Eigen said yearly mall attendance is in the millions and that the customers are knowledgeable. “When they come, they know what they want,” she said. “They are pre-

pared, and this is a good place to be to satisfy those needs.” Black Friday still exists — mall doors opened at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving and did not close for 26 hours — but shopping early birds increasingly buy earlier in November. “That’s when we started seeing the holiday promotions,” Eigen said. “Black Friday has become an event. It’s exciting. Families come together and it becomes an outing. The Web helps with information on what stores have and their sales.” Danbury Fair now has its own app and its Santa HQ is both a techand nostalgia-driven experience. Santa HQ is at 10 Macerich malls across the country. In Danbury Fair’s setup, the oldfashioned New England holiday is recalled with a comfortable leather couch harking to Irving Berlin. Eigen called it “a totally immersive, digital experience that

of course features a real, live visit with Santa.” Eigen said Santa HQ is a big hit

with children, who begin with a naughty-or-nice computer assessment. Sotto voce, Eigen admitted all the kids receive “nice” readings. Macerich is partnering with HGTV for the setup. The mall has six large stores in its mix: Sears with 178,000 square feet, Macy’s with 220,000 square feet, Lord & Taylor with 80,000 square feet, J.C. Penney with 132,000 square feet, Dick’s Sporting Goods with 56,000 square feet and XXI Forever — often called Forever 21 — with 78,000 square feet. The mall for the holidays hosts seasonal stores, including national specialty purveyors Harry & David; the Westchester Broadway Theatre from Elmsford, N.Y.; and

go-cart company On Track Karting in Wallingford and Brookfield. As always, there are three tiers of eating: the food court, which recently picked up a Chick-fil-A franchise; a pair of so-called fast-casual restaurants in Chipotle Mexican Grill and BGR — The Burger Joint; and four full-sized restaurants: Kusulyn, Red Robin, The Cheesecake Factory and Brio Tuscan Grille. Besides dining options, Eigen highlighted another advantage to in-person retailing: the buy that leads to another buy. “The retailers are reporting their best discounts saw the customers coming and then purchasing the gifts they had come for, plus multiple items,” she said. “This year, so far, so good.”

Latex International rallies back from twin blows

175-employee Shelton manufacturer of latex foam used in the likes of mattresses and pillows has taken a major step back from bankruptcy and a fire and is no longer for sale. Latex Foam International Holdings Inc. on River Road, which bills itself as “the world’s largest Talalay Latex component producer and manufacturer of the Pure Latex BLISS bedding line,” said it has reached a consensual agreement with the committee representing its unsecured creditors and has filed a joint reorganization plan in its bankruptcy case.

The company said it will now focus its efforts on executing its growth plan. Management said it has ceased the process of selling the company. “This plan is the culmination of several months of reorganization and restructuring of our business, including the rebuilding of our primary production facility that had been severely damaged by fire,” Latex International President and CEO David Fisher said in a press release. The company filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut on May 30. It suffered a fire in

its principal dryer June 26. Company creditors include several multinational corporations, it said in a press release. “We are grateful to our loyal customers, vendors and employees whose support has been overwhelming during this process,” Fisher said. “We said at the time of our filing that this was a strategic decision to restructure a healthy business that was burdened by financial debt obligations from agreements put in place years ago. Relieving ourselves of those burdens puts our company in a position where it can

finance itself from operations. “The restructuring and post-fire rebuild of our state-of-the-art equipment has allowed us to reduce lead times, enhance customer service, and improve our first quality to 99 percent. This, coupled with over 99 percent on-time delivery, truly does enhance our customers’ experience.” Latex International products are made with the Talalay and Dunlop manufacturing processes, according to the company, which cites mattress cores, pillows and mattress toppers among its products. — Bill Fallon

Brown case reverberates

MISSOURI SHOOTING STIRS ACTIVISM AT UNIVERSITY BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

ustice was not served in the Michael Brown case when a Missouri county grand jury ruled to exonerate Darren Wilson, a white police officer, for the Aug. 9 shooting and killing of Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man, in Ferguson. Instead, it was locked up without a fair trial. That’s how Cordelia McKinney, a University of Bridgeport junior studying business, said she felt when she heard the Nov. 24 announcement that Wilson was not indicted for his actions. Earlier that morning, McKinney said she read about a 16-year-old black male in Florida who was sentenced to 23 years in jail for killing a retired police dog. As she compared the two cases, she said she felt a mixture of sadness, pain and righteous indignation. “My immediate reaction was to think the life of an animal is clearly more valuable than the life of a black man in America,” said McKinney. “I was very sad and it really hurt my heart. I felt like I had known this young man personally at that moment.”

On one occasion the club members rallied support and marched around campus with their mouths taped shut and signs that read “Don’t shoot.” The club plans to collaborate with the campus Black Student Association and to host a talk on empowering African-Americans and educating them

about police brutality and racial profiling. She said the Ferguson case has brought the black community together, especially in pockets of the country that have been deeply divided among one another. She said now is the time to speak up about the issues and empower young people to take education seriously. “This is the perfect time to start becom-

ing entrepreneurs in the black community and seek opportunities to use education as a way out,” McKinney said. “We can educate ourselves and become the change we want to see.

McKinney, who grew up fatherless, was raised by her mother and grandmother as a devout Christian. She has cousins and nephews in New York and Florida who are Michael Brown’s age and also African-American.

NEWS IN BRIEF AGENCIES PARTNER TO SERVE DANBURY’S HOMELESS The Greater Danbury Continuum of Care and the Danbury Housing Partnership will host the eighth annual Project Homeless Connect in the city Dec. 12. at Western Connecticut State University. Community members, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and corporations will provide services and information at the event, with the goal of lowering barriers, removing obstacles and increasing results for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Last year, services were provided to more than 200 individuals and families at the event. Organizers said they expect this year’s event to serve the same number of participants, who will receive a hot breakfast and lunch, winter coats and clothing, flu shots, dental care and eye exams. In addition, more than 60 area agencies will have information available for residents on mental

health services, housing, family and youth services, employment and more. The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in WCSU’s Bill Williams Gymnasium on Osborne Street. The first Project Homeless Connect was held in San Francisco in 2004 to welcome homeless neighbors into the community and change the way resources are accessed. The Danbury community hosted its first event in 2007. It is now joined by more than 300 cities in the U.S. in delivering services that lead to housing and self-sufficiency. – Crystal Kang

DEEP RECOGNIZES GREEN BUSINESSES

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on Tuesday recognized 16 businesses and individuals in the state for protecting the environment and natural resources at its GreenCircle awards ceremony in Hartford. Three Fairfield County businesses —

Cartus Corp., Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Aptar Stratford – were among the award recipients. Cartus, in Danbury, was recognized in part for its employee ridesharing program. More than 600 employees signed up for the program and more than 350 actively use the service every week, according to a DEEP press release. Cartus employees also participate in Danbury’s Adopt-A-Street program and are involved in a street-cleaning program. Boehringer Ingelheim in Ridgefield was honored for its BE Green program, which aims to conserve energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce the use of natural resources and increase the level of recycling at the company. Through the program, employees have thought of ways to improve environmental performance, including replacing paper towels with hand dryers, replacing water coolers with water bottle filling stations and using recovered solvents for

The warehouse features highefficiency lighting, occupancy sensors, highefficiency HVAC units, LED outdoor lighting, cool roofing and insulation, and a natural gas condensing furnace. Since DEEP launched the GreenCircle program 16 years ago, about 1,085 individuals, businesses, schools and organizations have been recognized for improving and protecting the state’s environment. According to the press release from the department, projects recognized by GreenCircle have each year reduced water use by more than 646 million gallons, air emissions by 13 million pounds, hazardous waste generation by more than 1 million pounds, spent solvents by more than 920,000 gallons and solid waste by more than 9,200 tons. – Crystal Kang

destroying our communities and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.” McKinney said once she earns her business degree, she wants to start a nonprofit geared toward educating and empowering young girls who face racial, economic and social inequities. She said she grew up experiencing the challenges of a young black girl and wants to provide ways to nurture and educate those like her not to let society hold them back. “In my generation, I feel like when people hit middle school, that’s the moment you realize you have potential or you decide you’re just going to live at home for the rest of your life,” McKinney said. “The mindset we form so early on is what affects the mindset we have now. So we have to catch them when they’re at that critical age between 12 and 14.” In the wake of the Brown case, President Barack Obama announced a funding package to equip local police forces with 50,000 body cameras nationwide. The Bridgeport Police Department does not have dashboard cameras in its 63 patrol cars, but Police Chief Joe Gaudett said it is worth discussing with the police union, according to OnlyinBridgeport.com. The East Haven Police Department, which is facing a federal investigation into racial profiling, including federal criminal charges against four officers, has installed dashboard cameras in 16 cars for $115,000.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of December 8, 2014

BY ANDI GRAY

ASK ANDI

Quality is worth paying for The work we do is complicated. And many buyers don’t know any better. They ask me for a lower price and when I don’t give them one, they move on to hire someone who doesn’t really know what they’re doing. When I walk into some buildings I’ve never been in before, I see a lot of bad work. I’m in it for the quality of the work and not about to lower my standards. How do I help buyers understand they get what they pay for? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make sure your quality is what you think it is. Teach your clients about what they’re getting from your company. Make sure your employees understand your standards – thinking about it before the client does. Build a community of satisfaction. Use customer retention as a competitive weapon. Make sure you’re looking for the right customers.

Before you launch on your soapbox about how your services are better, do some research to make sure you’re right. Go back and visit jobs done in the past couple years to see how they’re holding up. Find out if the customers are fully satisfied. Look for any errors your team might have made. Make sure your company is walking the talk. Assuming your company’s work quality is as high as you think, talk to your clients after the fact. Make sure they understand why they’re satisfied, and it wasn’t just an accident their job was installed well. Show them the little details that add up to a measurable difference. Make sure every employee understands how important it is to solve your clients’ problems by doing it right the first time. Take time to educate new employees before they go out on jobs about how to talk to clients, how to spot problems and what to do if they have questions or concerns. No matter how busy you are, don’t let a new employee out into the field until you’re sure they get it, and then make sure they have supervision until they’ve been fully tested out. Make a list of questions to ask customers before, during and after a job. Start with

“What are you looking to accomplish?” and “What special concerns do you have?” While the work is going on, ask: “Is there anything else you’d like us to attend to?” “How well are we doing in your book?” When finished, ask: “Are you 110 percent satisfied with the work?” “Would you be willing to give us a gold star?” and “Can we do anything additional for you?” Become a thought leader, talking and writing about what it takes to do your work. Write articles about work you’ve had to correct, showing examples of work done poorly. Show how it has cost more to repair the problems than it would have to do the job right the first time. Feature jobs you’ve done well. Use them as success examples. Get customers to promote you. Ask for quotes about how your company has helped them succeed by helping them avoid time and money problems. Once you get a contract to fix a problem, write up a case study explaining what was done improperly and how it was fixed. Ask the new prospect if they’d be interested in a discount if they’ll let you feature them in an ad. Ask the prospect if they’d be willing to be a reference – since they now know the

difference between bad work and what your company can do. Not all customers are created equal. Some want what you have, but just can’t afford it. Some can afford it but don’t care. And some are just right – want what your company provides and can pay for it. Those are the customers to focus on. It’s much easier to sell quality to someone who gets that quality is worth paying for. Early in the selling process ask potential clients to give examples of when they’ve had to choose between cost and quality. Pay attention to the story they tell. Just make sure the ones that are left have the budget necessary to close the deal. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK? Try “Marketing Services: Competing Through Quality” by Leonard L. Berry and A. Parasuraman.

Pedestrian bridge opens at Stamford train station BY MAGGIE GORDON Hearst Connecticut Media

he intersection near Stamford’s train station can pose problems for pedestrians searching for a safe way to leapfrog their way across four lanes. But the recent opening of a pedestrian bridge between the station and Building and Land Technology’s Gateway Garage is curbing that issue. “It’s nice because all the people from Harbor Point can walk up and walk to this side of the street,” BLT Chief Operating Officer Ted Ferrarone said recently as he walked across the blue bridge, which crosses Washington Boulevard near the on-ramp to Interstate 95 south. The bridge was financed in a partnership between BLT and the Connecticut Department of Transportation. “They don’t have to try to get across the street down there. It’s four lanes here … and at night there are cars everywhere. So this gets you up and off the street. It’s a better environment. It’s much safer,” he continued. “The access on this side of the tracks was never very good. Now, if you come down at night, you can see tons of people com-

ing off the train and walking down from their apartments.” While the bridge connects the station to BLT-owned Gateway Garage, which will hold 1,755 spots for cars when it fully opens in the coming months, Ferrarone said it’s not just about providing a convenience to the roughly 2,800 residents who call BLT’s Harbor Point home.

“If I lived at Harbor Point, honestly, I would never park here, because I would either walk or take the shuttle,” he said. Instead, the garage is intended to help alleviate parking concerns at the station’s main facility. And the addition of Zipcars, which were introduced to the garage last week, is another way of reaching out to commuters of all

types who might need cars on a temporary basis. The three Zipcars on the first level of the garage – a Jeep Compass, a Mitsubishi Lancer and a Cadillac ATS – are the first in Stamford, according to Ferrarone. For a membership fee, Zipcar provides automobile reservations to its members billable by the hour or day. If the program works out well, the fleet could be expanded. “It’s a perfect location, because you get off the train and they’re right here,” Ferrarone said. Rates for the Zipcars start at $12 per hour or $109 per day with gas, insurance and 180 miles included. “We’re trying to make this as convenient as possible for everyone,” Ferrarone said. That’s the motivation behind yet another addition that opened last week in the garage: A Juice Bar charging station for electric vehicles, which allows up to four cars to charge simultaneously.

oogle does it. Boeing does it. So do many small to midsized companies. All take advantage of a dollar-fordollar reduction in federal taxes called the research and development tax credit. Every year, companies big and small benefit from the $7.5 billion in credits available from the federal government for engaging in qualified R&D activities. Companies that experiment with and resolve technological or design challenges in the production of goods and services may be eligible for R&D credits. This could be you. The R&D credit was created in 1981 as part of the Economic Recovery Tax Act to encourage economic growth and increase research activities in the U.S. Manufacturing companies make up about 43 percent of all corporations filing for the R&D tax credit, but aerospace, biotechnology, engineering and numerous other sectors are benefiting from research credits for qualified activities.

Companies willing to analyze eligible expenses may benefit from tax credits that could reach into the millions of dollars. A startup software company with just more than $1 million in revenue could see $50,000 in R&D credits. A medical device company with $300 million in revenue may receive more than $1 million in research credits. As an added bonus, businesses claiming the credit may also see their tax bill reduced. In 2013, many companies on the S&P 500 reported significant drops in their effective tax rates due primarily to the R&D credit. R&D credits are not just for big enterprises. Roughly one-fourth of all businesses that claim research credits have assets of less than $1 million. Unfortunately, many small to midsize companies do not realize they qualify for the credit and it goes unclaimed. All but the smallest companies could reduce the cost of labor-intensive R&D investments by taking advantage of available research credits. The Internal Revenue Service has high standards for companies submitting claims for R&D credits, though. Consult a tax adviser to determine qualified expenses and guide your company in the critical collection of records that justify those expenses to the IRS.

Roughly one-fourth of all businesses that claim research credits have assets of less than $1 million.

Cross-border questions about pipeline expansion BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

he expansion of a natural gas pipeline through Westchester County, N.Y., and northern Fairfield County near Brookfield would have a “dramatic and negative impact” on Westchester County parkland in the town of Cortlandt, Westchester County lawmakers say. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, can rule in December on a proposal from Texas-based Spectra Energy Partners to expand the capacity of its Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline by replacing 26-inch diameter pipes with 42-inch pipes. But members of a county Board of Legislators subcommittee are asking FERC to hold off on giving the green light on the expansion over concerns of its impact to the Blue Mountain Reservation in Cortlandt. “Our county parks staff has not had adequate time to review, nor have they been presented with any technical drawings or surveys, regarding the scope of work presented by Spectra Energy in its recent meeting in order to properly assess how the proposed construct will impact Blue Mountain Reservation,” members of the board’s Labor, Parks, Planning and Housing committee said in a Nov. 13 letter to FERC. The letter came the day following two meetings held by the committee discussing the pipeline expansion, specifically its expansion in Blue Mountain. The entire pipeline runs 1,127 miles and its path goes through Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. Jim Muskay, Spectra’s regional director for the project, presented an overview at the Nov. 12 committee meeting, saying that work at Blue Mountain would affect roughly 1.25 miles of a 26-inch pipe and a 30-inch pipe installed in the 1950s and 1960s, respectively. The work would include removal of mature trees and expanded construction access on the park’s right of way. Construction would be phased in a two-part excavation and re-excavation process that would remove the old pipe, then install the new, larger pipes. Legislator Peter Harckham, a Democrat and chair of the board subcommittee, said that the two meetings aimed to answer questions. “The process has, indeed, generated even more concerns about the unfortunate results that may be caused by the project and how much county parkland will possibly be harmed during the course of construction,” he said. Spectra had met with representatives from the office of Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, in January and discussed the plans for Blue Mountain. According to Harckham, a letter of memorandum about that meeting was forwarded to FERC but not to county legisla-

tors until November. He also said that county parks officials did not meet with representatives until Spectra or walk the property until several weeks ago. In the letter, addressed to FERC Secretary Kimberly Bose, legislators said that testimony from Spectra representatives and others showed that a draft environmental impact statement filed by the company “contains significant inaccuracies and false information regarding the project impacts within Blue Mountain Reservation.”

The full Board of Legislators had formally voted in August to ask for stricter review of the overall expansion plan. In that vote, lawmakers asked state and federal agencies to require independent health assessments, safety reviews and environmental analyses on the company’s dime. In the U.S., someone is either injured or killed in a natural gas related accident every nine days, according to Harckham. The board’s calls come after heated backlash from some residents and the formation of a grass-

roots organization called Stop the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion, which collected 20,000 signatures on an anti-expansion petition. John Ravitz, executive vice president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, though, said in a recent interview that the council supported the expansion because it could create jobs and reduce energy costs. “Obviously the demand for natural gas is growing, so we want to have projects that make sense,” he said. “Just saying ‘no’ doesn’t get you there.”

Views from the Audit Trail — Accounting for Major Gifts By Robert Cordero, Partner at O’Connor Davies

s independent auditors, we have a unique vantage point to identify recurring accounting and financial reporting issues that continue to trouble our clients. One issue that deserves further thought and consideration is the accounting for contributions, including promises to give, specifically those with restrictions. Recently, we’ve noted several instances where a donor’s gift (or multi-year promise) triggered questions and confusion when it came time to record the transaction in the accounting records.

Is the gift restricted for a particular purpose? 3. Is the documentation of the donor’s wish clear? Once these questions have been addressed, we recommend that the organization document its conclusions on a standardized form or cover sheet for each major gift. The standardized form should identify the proper accounting classification for the gift (i.e., unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted), as well as the treatment of any investment income generated from unspent monies of the gift, (i.e., unrestricted or temporarily restricted).

SPECIAL REPORT

HEALTH CARE

Hospital — » From page 1

The hospital will include patient care units with private rooms and bathrooms and emergency departments with separate treatment centers for cardiac, trauma, behavioral health, adult and pediatric patients. The expansion calls for larger surgical suites to accommodate the latest technology and a bigger intensive care unit space with 24 beds. The intensive care unit will move from the Whittingham Pavillion on Shelburne Road to the new Stamford Hospital, and the vacant space will be filled by the Cohen Children’s Institute, a nautical-themed pediatric unit that will be built with a $20 million donation provided by the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation in October. With the new pediatric space, the hospital will begin hiring surgeons who have backgrounds in both emergency medicine and pediatric surgery.

Stamford Hospital is known to specialize in cardiology, with its treatment of irregular heartbeats and the only open-heart surgery program in lower Fairfield County. The new building will include a heart and vascular institute. “What we’re doing is positioning this organization to meet the health care needs of the future in terms of primary care in the community and then inpatient specialty care,” Silard said. “We wanted to provide sophisticated, high quality and safe care to the community and position ourselves to be the preferred provider for the community.” Stamford Hospital is known to specialize in cardiology, with its treatment of irregular heartbeats and the only open-heart surgery program in lower Fairfield County. The new building will include a heart and vascular institute. One of the growing trends in new hospitals is the creation of private patient rooms

with updated technology and systems that enable patients to feel comfortable during exams. “When you come into the patient room we wanted to make sure the sink was right there so that the caregivers would be forced to wash their hands immediately,” Silard said. “We looked at the placement of the TV and how many steps it is to the bathroom to avoid falls and create a safe environment for the patients.” Careful consideration was placed into the details of the fabric and flooring as Stamford Hospital’s management team researches ways to create a peaceful setting in the patient rooms. The hospital is exploring ways to improve communication from patient rooms to nurses. A computer communication system between patients and nurses is one solution that could be incorporated in the new hospital space. The main tower of the hospital will have

180 private rooms with private bathrooms, which is important for patients concerned about infection control, privacy and peaceful recovery, Silard said. A primary focus of the new design is providing family spaces on each floor. Green spaces will surround the campus with outdoor walking areas and gardens. “We will have a beautifully landscaped area outside the main hospital that’s going to use natural rain water and a retention pond to be able to recycle a lot of that water to use for watering the area and draining it appropriately for that purpose,” Silard said. With the national effort to make health insurance more affordable through the Affordable Care Act, Stamford Hospital is prepared to build out two more floors as administrators anticipate the number of patient visits multiplying each year, Silard said.

’Tis the season to shop for a medical plan

ow is the time for many businesses to renew their medical plans, and it’s safe to say many have not kept current with the health insurance landscape. Now, they’ll need Chris Peck to pay attention. In the world of health care, the private sector is constantly evolving due to everescalating costs and the intense regulatory environment. The common denominator for businesses of all sizes is they will be forced to explore solutions they may not have considered in the past in order to gain cost control while offering competitive benefits packages to employees. Here’s what your business can expect in the coming year.

BUSINESSES WITH FEWER THAN 100 ENROLLED EMPLOYEES

Aside from the individual marketplace, where the insured have experienced perhaps the most change in plans, rates, networks of providers and the overall shopping experience, the most change in group health insurance has been in the market of two to 100 enrolled employees. With most plans

increasing premiums by 10 to 20 percent, businesses will be forced to consider options that may have seemed too risky in past. One such option is level funding, and it’s worth considering for employers who hope to achieve financial predictability and gain control over future medical costs amid the dramatic escalation of employee health care costs. Level funding has similarities to a fully insured plan, but it offers these advantages of a self-insured plan: • Assurance of fixed monthly premium payments. • Transparency on claims to understand cost factors and justification of renewal rates. • Reduced state premium taxes. • Option to exclude state-mandated benefits. • Flexibility in plan designs. • Potential for return of excess premium, received as a credit in the following plan year. • No additional claims liability or cost if claims run poorly or if employer terminates the contract.

BUSINESSES WITH 100-1,000 ENROLLED EMPLOYEES

Employers in this size market must

decide the level at which they will engage their employees. With little or no engagement, businesses will be subject to whatever claims occur within their group. Thus, most companies are taking a proactive approach to controlling costs by engaging their employee populations; the most common way to do this is through a wellness program. While proving the return on investment is near impossible, most companies in this category simply choose to believe sustaining a healthier workforce will yield a more productive workforce. They focus on driving down risk factors, which cause the majority of claims costs, using base lines such as health risk assessments and biometric screenings. ROI ratios can range from 2-to-1 to 5-to-1. For example, if a company spends $10,000 on a wellness program, they will see a benefit of $20,000 to $50,000 inside of 36 to 60 months. Innovation in the 100 to 1,000 enrolled employees market is happening in the form of indemnity plans, which have the potential to make a slow comeback. Using a self-insured platform, this type of plan does not use a network but rather a third-party administrator to negotiate

The Bristal Assisted Living | Where Every Day Means More T M

payments with providers as claims are submitted. The standard reimbursement rate within this plan is Medicare plus 30 percent. The downside is businesses will not be able to offer name-brand carriers; the upside is they will be able to stretch the health care dollar further. This concept is fairly new to the market and it remains to be seen how receptive employers will be to adopting it.

BUSINESSES WITH MORE THAN 1,000 ENROLLED EMPLOYEES

Within this space, health insurance is essentially business as usual. Of course, businesses must act to ensure compliance with the Affordable Care Act; but in terms of shopping for and evaluating various medical plan solutions, not much has changed. However, larger firms have adopted or are planning to adopt newer strategies such as telemedicine and private exchanges.

CBP also maintains of�ices in Fair�ield and Plantsville in Connecticut and in New Jersey and New York. Peck can be reached at 203-487-0604 or cpeck@cbp.com.

The new quest for medical coverage

hristina Kazanas, founding partner of HK Consulting Group LLC in Bridgeport, credits the Affordable Care Act with helping her keep her firm afloat. “When you’re the owner of a microbusiness, your business and personal finances are very tightly tied together,” Kazanas said. “Before the ACA, my health care coverage was so expensive, I was at risk of having to give up my business.” In June 2013, Kazanas’ COBRA-sponsored coverage (under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) was set to expire. She was deemed uninsurable by major carriers and denied coverage. “I was facing a scary gap of six months between losing the plan I had and the ACA going live,” she said. “I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel, but what was I supposed to do until then?” One year later, with the new health plan she purchased through Access Health CT, her business is thriving to the point where she and her business partner are looking to hire for the first time. “What if this had happened in June of 2012, and not 2013?” Kazanas said. “There was no light at the end of the tunnel at

that point. I would have had to leave my business for a job that offered health insurance.” Kazanas realized her dream of entrepreneurship in 2010 when she established HK Consulting, the mission of which is to help nonprofit clients fundraise to support their organization. Before that, Kazanas was working for a municipal government in Fairfield County and had good health benefits. Upon her decision to leave and start her firm, she was able to extend her coverage through COBRA for two years. She paid a monthly premium of $575 for medical and dental benefits. “As the expiration date for my coverage approached, I began to research my options

on the individual market,” Kazanas said. The plans she found were not as affordable as her previous one. Still, she applied to one carrier for an acceptable plan. “When I got my denial notice, it was like they just cut and pasted from my application,” she said. “Every single thing I had written down was a pre-existing condition, including removal of a nasal polyp. How do you deny someone for a nasal polyp?” Two weeks later, as Kazanas was still figuring out what to do next, she got a call from her doctor about the results of her mammogram, which revealed a suspicious mass that needed immediate testing. “I was two weeks away from having no health insurance and now I’m facing the possibility of breast cancer,” Kazanas said. “I called up the Connecticut Insurance Department in tears. And they told me I could get coverage in the high-risk pool, which would cost nearly $1,200 per month and high out-of-pocket costs. I would in effect be tripling my health care expenses.” Kazanas took stock. She knew she could manage paying for the high-risk pool premium for six months, but with the sacrifice of exhausting her personal savings. When open enrollment under the ACA began, Kazanas

chose an Access Health CT plan. She now pays $440 as her monthly premium, and she encourages other would-be entrepreneurs to examine their options. “Not enough is being said about how the ACA can help entrepreneurs, in particular women,” Kazanas said. “Health insurance costs are a big reason why more people don’t take the leap, leave their 9-to-5 jobs and start their own businesses. The security you get from having affordable insurance that will always be there is invaluable — it allows you to accurately budget for health costs and can prevent personal and business financial ruin if you get sick.” HK Consulting Group has seen yearly growth since 2010, with nearly $250,000 in gross revenue last year.

More to Come at the Fairfield Theatre Company I’ve been at Fairfield Theatre Company (FTC) for almost three years and during this time we have produced more than 550 live music concerts, presented about 50 feature-length films and several film festivals, hosted two seasons of children’s theater and opened an art gallery. We also expanded our concert productions into a new venue — the 1000-seat Norwalk Concert Hall, which is in addition to the 1450-seat Klein Auditorium in Bridgeport and our own 225-seat StageOne in downtown Fairfield. We have welcomed approximately 140,000 patrons to our concerts, plays, films, gallery openings and other events. None of this would be have been possible without the talented FTC team, our generous and engaged board of directors, numerous donors, sponsors, members and volunteers, and literally thousands of artists and musicians. It has truly been a labor of love and it has occurred to me many times that I may actually have the best job in Fairfield County (and beyond). There’s more to come, though. We’ve listened carefully to our patrons and one theme that we hear over and over is that the community wants more. More music. More theater. More art. More film. More culture. In response, we have just started construction on a new 640-capacity venue — The Warehouse at FTC, which is being built next door to StageOne in downtown Fairfield. We are transforming an existing 8,000-square-foot raw warehouse into an open-seated venue with state-of-the art sound and lighting and all the necessary accouterments of a world-class performance space. From a programming perspective, this will allow us to present many great artists we can’t otherwise book because they are too large for StageOne and too small for the Klein and Norwalk Concert Hall. From a community perspective, the Warehouse will bring many more patrons to surrounding businesses in downtown Fairfield, which is already buzzing from the vibrant and growing arts scene that has become a hallmark of our town. We expect the Warehouse to be open for business by next September. Stay tuned; there is more to come. Much, much more. It’s going to be another busy year!

Vienna Boys Choir Performance at The Klein As a kickoﬀ to the 75th anniversary of The Klein in Bridgeport, the world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir, a musical institution for more than five centuries, will perform a special concert Saturday, Dec. 13, 7:30 p.m. The Vienna Boys Choir will oﬀer a rare and amazing experience. This performance will include a range of holiday and classical music from composers like Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert, among others. The new executive director of The Klein, Laurence Caso, emphasized, “No theater in Connecticut has better acoustics for live, unamplified music than The Klein.” The Vienna Boys choir is an organization of longstanding tradition. There are four subgroups or touring choirs, giving concerts worldwide and each choir has a choirmaster and two tutors or prefects that travel with them. The choirs are named after famous Austrian composers associated with the choir’s history. The choirs still perform much of the music of these composers. The Klein is a 1,400-seat historic American theater that has

played host to programs ranging from symphonies, operas, theater, folk, blues and rock concerts to local dance recitals and political debates. It also operates ASK, a tuition-free after-school program where up to 100 Bridgeport students receive instruction in music, dance and drama. The Klein has been the home of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony Orchestra for nearly 70 years and also to the New England Ballet. Tickets for the concert range from $28 to $68, and may be purchased by calling 800-424-0160 or online at theklein.org.

Successfully Navigating Environmental Compliance

ow do we define success? It’s a question every organization, and every department within it, must answer. In the field of environmental enforcement—where success seems to be measured by the number of violations recorded, total dollars collected from fines and penalties, and the number of civil and criminal prosecutions—the deck appears to be stacked against businesses. But Connecticut manufacturers heard some good news last month at a special meeting of CBIA’s Environmental Policies Council. The meeting, held at E.C. Goodwin Technical High School, included a panel of federal criminal enforcement agents as well as officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Their message to businesses was clear: We don’t expect perfection. What matters most is how seriously you take environmental compliance and how you respond to a mistake. “A successful year,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut Ray Miller, “would be one in which my office had no prosecutable cases. The closer we get to compliance, the better.” Deirdre Daly, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut [pictured above, right], explained that a company’s internal environment is often what undermines its environmental compliance program.

“In some cases, middle managers and boots-on-the-ground workers know about violations,” she said, “but a hierarchical corporate structure, a culture of intimidation, and fear of retribution keep those folks from reporting up the chain.”

“Some companies have a policy of zero tolerance. But zero tolerance isn’t always the best practice. It can force issues underground, so a company’s leaders may not hear about environmental violations. The news never makes it to the top. “ f Read more at gov.cbia.com

ill Connecticut continue adding jobs in 2015?

Is consumer confidence getting stronger?

Other traps, said Daly, are seemingly positive environmental policies that backfire.
