In Yonkers, a move to landmark a city mural BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ooking to preserve and protect a prominent public mural from future redevelopment in downtown Yonkers, a group of Yonkers residents and the muralist himself are pushing city officials to grant landmark status to the massive work of outdoor art and three buildings that display it as a historic district. The city’s Landmarks Preservation Board in May voted to recommend the creation of a Richard Haas Mural District at 35 and 36 Main St. and 5 Riverdale Ave. The Yonkers City Council can accept or reject the board’s recommendation. Artist Richard Haas, a Yonkers resident who works from a studio in Manhattan, in 1997 was commissioned by the city’s Office of Downtown Waterfront Development to create “Gateway to the Waterfront,” a three-panel, 14,000-square-foot

mural depicting Yonkers history from its early Native American inhabitants through its 19th-century industrial heyday. The trompe l’oeil panels, which incorporate architectural elements of the buildings they grace and former buildings important to the community, are frescoed onto three separately owned buildings on the northwest and southwest corners of Main Street and Riverdale Avenue. The City Council’s Real Estate Committee, which will advise the full council on the landmark designation, at its June 2 meeting postponed any decision until it meets with owners of the affected properties. None attended the committee meeting. At the center of the mural triptych and the focus of concern for landmarking advocates is 36 Main St., a vacant commercial building owned by downtown Yonkers developer Nick Sprayregen and his Rising Development Yonkers LLC.

Taxi companies object to Uber’s inroads in market BY DANIELLE BRODY and EVAN FALLOR dbrody@westfairinc.com, evan@westfairinc.com

s Uber expands its fleet into metropolitan areas across the country, traditional cab companies in Westchester and Fairfield counties are doing all they can to push back on the tech giant that is taking business from them in an unprecedented way. Yet Uber said its growing user base enjoys the affordable, tech-savvy service and drivers appreciate its flexible work model. Buddy Boskello, owner of Greenwich Taxi for several decades, is on the front lines of resistance to the private company, recently valued at $40 billion. His company and 14 other Connecticut cab and livery companies — usual competitors for passengers — banded together

in May 2014 to sue Uber and fellow app-based ride-hailing company Lyft Inc. in U.S. District Court, citing unfair competition and economic harm to their businesses. San Francisco-based Lyft, citing an “uncertain regulatory environment” in an email to employees, suspended its Fairfield County service in February. Uber, on the other hand, continues to thrive in Connecticut despite the pending lawsuit. In its first year, Uber Technologies Inc. said its 4,000 driver partners in Fairfield and New Haven counties made $8 million after introducing the service there in April 2014. Uber launched its New York City service, which includes trips to and from Westchester, in 2011. “What is clear is that Uber has grown very rapidly, which really does show that there was

maybe a gap in the service and the reliability that people were looking for in transportation,” Matt Powers, general manager of Uber Connecticut, said. Uber’s independent contractors drive their personal cars to pick up passengers who request rides and pay for them through their credit card connected to the company’s free smartphone app. On the app, customers can track the driver in real time and see fare estimates as well as the driver’s picture, car and phone number. Riders and drivers can rate each other after the trip, giving drivers an incentive to make it a positive experience, Powers said. Some drivers offer riders cellphone chargers, bottled water and the option to change the car’s music on Spotify, which has a partnership with Uber. » UBER, page 2

A trip from the Greenwich train station to an address in downtown White Plains would cost $48 in Boskello’s taxi. The same route in an Uber would cost $25 to $33 in uberX, the economy car, or $65 to $85 in the standard Uber black car. Uber fares vary due to traffic, weather and other factors. Boskello said train pickups account for half of his business, and Powers said onethird of rides in the county occur within a quarter-mile of Metro-North stations. Powers said more residents are seeing Uber’s uses for other types of trips, including grocery store runs and meetings. Unlike traditional taxi companies, Uber does not have a dispatch service, own cars or operate local offices. The livery and taxi companies in the lawsuit say they have invested significant capital and resources to develop systems and infrastructure and comply with regulations. Boskello said it is hard for companies with history in the community to compete with Uber because of its technology and current exemption from strict regulations taxi companies face. “Potentially what they’re gonna do is cause an uneven playing field,” he said. “To see another company come in and just take over a lot of the business that we have is very disheartening and economically hurtful.” Because Uber is classified as a transportation network company, or TNC, and not a taxi company, it does not have to comply with the varying state regulations that require extensive background checks, frequent car inspections and jurisdiction limits. That could change in Connecticut. Earlier this year, Central Connecticut State University completed a study with recommendations for the General Assembly to improve TNC safety through statewide regulation. A proposal to require TNCs to perform background checks on drivers, buy insurance and perform vehicle safety inspections passed in a House of Representatives vote May 30 and went to the Senate for a final vote June 3, after the Business Journal went to press. “We felt as though we needed to regulate them in some shape or form to make sure that the people who are using it are safe,” Rep. Antonio Guerrera, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said in a June 2 press release. “This bill does do that.” Powers said he has had positive conversations with politicians who mostly support the company. He said he approves of the legislation and that if accepted, it will codify standards for this new type of technology. While cab company owners claim Uber drivers are generally not as safe as cab drivers, Powers said the company has a thorough background check system run by a third party that is deemed more than sufficient in 20 states. The tech company also offers train-

ing to drivers online and in person. Across the border in Westchester, cab owners have voiced concerns but haven’t seen the same progress as their Connecticut cohorts because of multiple regulators. Taxi rules are determined by each municipality, and the Westchester County Taxi and Limousine Commission handles regulation on county-owned property, including Westchester County Airport. Barbara Monohan, CEO of the TLC, said only taxi drivers licensed with the commission can make pickups at the county airport and bring passengers to New York City. She said she has received numerous complaints from cab company owners and drivers that Uber drivers have been violating that rule. “If there’s a problem, then at some point we will have to address it,” Monohan said, calling Uber’s actions “illegal.” “I think that as the world changes so will TLC regulations.” Boskello said in Connecticut, taxi drivers must either start or end trips in the town in which they are based, limiting service options. Boskello, along with other owners, said they would have preferred Uber to offer their technology to cab companies rather than bringing more cars into the market. “Their idea is unique and it’s beautiful,” Boskello said. “I just think it’s a hell of an idea.” Powers said Uber runs a completely different business model than that of traditional taxis. Uber drivers keep 80 percent of the ride fare and get paid weekly, Powers said. Traditional companies charge drivers a daily or weekly fee to lease the car, while Uber drivers use their own. “By allowing (driver) partners to operate assets that they already own, that minimizes the cost to them,” Powers said. “That also gives them the flexibility to work when and how they want.” Some traditional companies have invested in developing Web- and phone-based apps similar to Uber’s to keep up with their tech-savvy competitor. Andy Stoppelman, CEO of Red Oak

Transportation in Port Chester, said he was initially hesitant to pay to develop an app but said it has proved phenomenal for business. Yet his mainly corporate clientele is no longer as willing to wait the 20 minutes if no car is available right away. He said his company is usually the first call made for a ride. “We’ll still be the first line of defense,” he said. Swapnil Pandya said he takes an Uber from his job at a Manhattan accounting firm home to Dobbs Ferry most nights. Pandya, 22, said he likes the convenience of booking from his phone and added that Uber cars are often cleaner and provide a smoother ride than a cab. “When leaving the office late at night, the last thing I want to be worried about is if I will be able to find a yellow cab to get home,” he said. “With Uber, my car is always waiting there when I walk outside.” Marc Necatera, co-owner of Stamford Taxi, said it is difficult to compete with Uber because the drivers can make pickups statewide and they charge lower rates. He believes the state should do more to regulate Uber. Necatera said Uber is also making it harder to retain drivers but that some who have left for Uber are coming back to the company. Stoppleman, of Red Oak, also said some Uber drivers have come to work for him because they couldn’t make enough money. Powers said the average Uber driver is part time. Some are transplants from taxi and limousine companies looking for more flexibility; others use Uber to make extra income. Boskello, whose company is part of the pending lawsuit, has also seen drivers leave for Uber and come back. He said his cab company and others in the state receive a certain number of permits for cabs based on need and population. He said he worries if Uber takes even a small amount of business, it will hurt his company. “It’s splitting up a piece of pie,” he said. “There’s only so many pieces in that pie. It barely lets the companies that are here now stay healthy. If they even get a quarter, everything will start to fall apart.”

NY puts $30M toward youth employment

MKMG cuts 109 office jobs

ount Kisco Medical Group will eliminate 109 jobs in its billing department this summer as the multispecialty group practice turns over parts of its billing process to an outside revenue cycle management company. Dr. Scott D. Hayworth, president and CEO of MKMG, said the workforce reduction affects less than half of the positions in the billing department. Affected workers on June 1 were given 90 days’ advance notice that their jobs will be terminated. Hayworth said although those employees will remain employed by MKMG for the next 90 days, June 1 was expected to be the last day they will report for duty. The company will offer six weeks’ severance pay after the 90-day period and continued medical, dental and vision insurance during the severance period. Eligible employees will also receive an additional week of pay for each full year of service at MKMG, up to an additional six weeks. Hayworth said the employer is also offering assistance to workers in finding jobs

both within MKMG and externally. According to a filing with the state Labor Department, the largest number of cuts — 71 — will be made at the Chappaqua office on North Bedford Road. The remaining cuts will be six at the Rhinebeck office, 27 in Fishkill, four in Mount Kisco and one in Poughkeepsie. MKMG partners chose to contract for billing services with IKS Health, the business name of New York City-based Inventurus Knowledge Solutions Inc. “The depth of knowledge and state-of-the-art technologies offered by IKS will enhance the MKMG patient experience and make the billing process more efficient,” Hayworth said in the announcement. Hayworth called this “a difficult day for everyone at MKMG. We thank these impacted employees for their contributions and hope that the financial support and services will help each of them to find new opportunities either within MKMG or at other organizations that will benefit from their talents.” — John Golden

ov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced $30 million will go to New York communities to support summer jobs for youths from low-income families. “Landing that first summer job has a positive effect on young people that spans well into adulthood,” Cuomo said in the announcement of the funding for the Summer Youth Employment Program. “By funding these positions we are giving businesses the summer help they need, as well as creating opportunity for youth to both earn a paycheck and learn valuable skills that will last a lifetime.” The funding is expected to support summer jobs for 18,000 young New Yorkers. To be eligible, young people must be ages 14 to 20 and have a family income below 200 percent of the federal poverty level (or $39,850 for a family of three). Employers can use the funds to subsidize wages, support education and training activities, as well as offer counseling and employment-related

services, such as transportation to and from work. Young people interested in participating can contact their local department of social services. Funding amounts vary widely by county: • Dutchess — $367,264 • Orange — $458,847 • Putnam — $58,264 • Rockland — $331,224 • Sullivan — $126,644 • Ulster — $244,631 • Westchester — $825,540 In addition to the Summer Youth Employment program, $20 million in tax credits is available to businesses through the Urban Youth Jobs Program, formerly called New York Youth Works. The program encourages businesses to hire disadvantaged young people who are age 16 to 24 in communities that include Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers. — Reece Alvarez

Make your content marketing more visual

id you know that Forrester Research reports one minute of video is equal in value to 1.8 million words? That YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine? Or, that Instagram is the fastestgrowing social network, according to the Pew Research Internet Project? Simply put, we live in a visual world, and businesses’ marketing needs to adapt to seize the opportunities available in this new world.

Building a bank of video assets

Think about video in two buckets — the grassroots footage you can shoot on a smartphone and professionally produced assets. Grassroots footage — so long as the camera isn’t wobbling nonstop and the footage isn’t overpowered by background noise — is great for capturing unplanned moments, a 30-second snippet from the CEO to drop in a blog post and, in some instances, crowdsourced content. Two instances where investing in a professionally produced video makes sense: when you want to weave together a number of highlights from one event into a seamless end product or when you are looking to produce a company profile that will have long-lasting value. The key is to proactively think about the ways you will use and distribute this footage and, in turn, how you can maximize the value of your investment. For example, if you decide to invest in a company profile video and happen to work in three vertical markets, work with the videographer to identify how shorter, verticalspecific video clips can be extracted from the end product. For event synthesis videos, think about the speeches and other milestone moments that would make compelling stand-alone video assets. Where can you use these video assets? Embed them in your blog posts and email marketing, show them at the opening of key client and prospect events and disseminate them across your social media channels, to name a few.

Creating custom images

While not every business has a graphic designer on staff, custom visuals are a great opportunity for companies to create visual marketing that stands out from the crowd. If you find yourself and your colleagues consistently saying ‘What if we could show …’ or ‘If only that image had …’ it’s typically a leading indicator that there is a void custom imagery can help to fill. If custom imagery isn’t an option, focus on:

Leveraging authentic photography

Stock photography can shore up gaps in a pinch, but photos of the people who define your brand and culture are far more relatable, not to mention compelling. Whether your company regularly hosts professional

development programs for clients and prospects, is a staple of your industry’s tradeshow speaking circuit or has unique office space known for piquing prospects’ attention, there are a wealth of assets to promote at companies’ fingertips. The key is knowing what makes a good photo — and I don’t just mean one that’s in focus and where everyone’s eyes are open — one that will engage online audiences and foster engagement. Whether your company is sharing your photos on Facebook or Instagram, or in a website photo gallery, focus on cultivating high-quality images that are both eye-catching and clearly enhance the value of your message and overall marketing.

The power of infographics

Some topics are more complex than others. Take solar energy tax credits, compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and, oftentimes, proposed or new legislation. While one could certainly take to their blog, craft an e-blast or resort to a long-format piece of premium content such as a white paper or e-book to explain what their audiences need to know about the topic at hand, 600 words can feel like a novel when the topic at hand is overly dense or complex. This is where infographics come in. Through one carefully crafted visual and high-level supporting copy, processes, procedures and other lengthy topics can be gracefully distilled into an easily digestible piece of content for prospects and clients. It’s also a sharable piece of content that can help to bolster social media engagement and foster audience growth. You can embed infographics in your blog posts, share them with media as an asset to include in their online news story, push them out through social media and more. While creating the right visual requires a custom blend of strategy and creativity — not to mention having one’s antennae up at all times to capture “the moment” — it is a great opportunity to diversify a company’s marketing and find new mediums through which to engage online audiences. Whether you decide that a Facebook advertising campaign rich with custom imagery is the right visual tactic for your business or are eager to begin using infographics to simplify complex processes, focus on developing visual marketing assets that are on-brand, perfectly clear, stand out from the competition and will resonate with your target audiences. Danielle M. Cyr is vice president of integrated marketing for Co-Communications, a marketing and public relations agency with offices in Mount Kisco, Manhattan and Farmington, Conn.

Yonkers — From page 1

Joshi, one of three residents who applied for the landmark designation and collected 450 signatures on a petition in support of the mural district, told council committee members the threat that the building and its mural panel, depicting the city’s 17th-century history of Dutch exploration and settlement, will be demolished for a redevelopment project prompted them to act. Rising Development, which has branded the downtown area near the Hudson River as SOYO, on its soyo.com website envisions 36 Main St. and an adjacent Sprayregenowned building at 38 Main as Lofts on Main. The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency two years ago approved financial incentives for Rising Development for a mixed-use development that would include 15 live-work lofts and 4,000 square feet of café and retail space on the ground floor. In a related project, Rising Development this year is redeveloping three nearby properties on Main Street and Mill Street as livework lofts and restaurant and retail space. Both Rising Development’s website and an online real estate site that lists 36 Main St. show a rendering of the redeveloped property with a restaurant and outdoor terrace and the Haas mural replaced by windows. “The mural is more important than putting some windows in,” said Barrymore Scherer, an art and music critic for The Wall Street Journal and one of the landmarking

applicants for the mural district. He called Haas’ triptych “a great secular altarpiece to Yonkers history.” Another landmarking advocate, Susan Hoeltzel, an artist and art professor and director of the Lehman College Art Gallery, called the 78-year-old Haas “a very important part of contemporary art” and his murals “part of the contemporary art canon.” “Our city has a major Haas mural,” Hoeltzel told the Real Estate Committee. “It’s already in place; the hard part is done.” The Yonkers community should work to keep it here, she said. Joshi and Scherer several years ago led a similar move to have a 19th-century commercial block on Warburton Avenue landmarked as a historic district ahead of its demolition for a workforce housing development planned by the nonprofit Greyston Foundation. The project was delayed by the City Council’s approval of the Philipse Manor Historic District in 2008 and was redesigned by Greyston to incorporate facades and elements of the existing buildings. “Those Philipse Manor buildings were in much worse shape than 36 Main St. is today,” Joshi said. “These buildings that seem to be eyesores,” said Scherer, “are really possibilities, and their possibilities have already been enhanced by Mr. Haas’ work.” Joshi noted Mayor Mike Spano’s effort to build a thriving arts community in the city. “We have a mayor trying to use visual arts as an economic driver,” she said. “The Haas

murals are a standard-bearer for that vision.” At Rising Development Yonkers, director Tim Rutledge said the developer is “confident we’ll come to a compromise” with the landmark advocates. Sprayregen and his development team have met with city planning officials and Joshi and Scherer several times in the last six months. “Any time any building is landmarked, it’s not ideal,’ Rutledge said. “It makes the process longer. The process to get anything approved is more onerous and it does make the cost more expensive.” “We hope that we don’t have to get them (City Council) involved” and can avoid a vote on the landmark designation, Rutledge said. “We hope we can come to a compromise before we have to come before them.” At City Hall, the Spano administration hopes for the same, although a compromise that leaves both sides feeling like winners might not be reached soon, Yonkers Planning Commissioner Wilson Kimball said. Among the compromises discussed, she said, Rising Development could commission Haas to paint a new mural on the developer’s nearby Mill Street courtyard project under construction this year or on another Sprayregen property and demolish 36 Main St. Kimball and Joshi both noted the owner is concerned that the wall of the building behind the Haas mural might have been damaged by water seepage. Kimball said city officials are trying to balance an owner’s right to “self-determination” on a property with the recognition

“that Richard Haas is an internationally known muralist.” “I think we can get a compromise without the landmark designation,” she said. But the muralist and landmark applicants were less confident that a compromise would be reached. “All it’s been is six months of conversations,” Joshi said. Haas, who painted his first mural in Soho in 1973 and has done numerous largescale mural projects around the country, expressed his frustration with Sprayregen. “I call it a duck and cover, duck and run,” he said. “I don’t know the situation because the owner is so evasive in a sense.” Haas cited the redevelopment of onceblighted downtown Fort Worth, Texas, as an example of what public art and private development together can do for a city. Haas in 1985 was commissioned by investor and philanthropist Sid Bass to create “Homage to Chisholm Trail,” a 4,500-squarefoot trompe l’oeil depiction of an 1860s cattle drive in Fort Worth’s downtown Sundance Square. The artist said he worked with Bass and his brothers for about 10 years as they revitalized the Texas city’s downtown. It is now a popular regional and even national destination for visitors, he said. Haas said most of the development initiative in downtown Yonkers has come from public officials rather than the private sector. “I think the city needs a much more assertive, aggressive, and enlightened development by private developers,” he said.

Second act for Bedford Playhouse BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

he up-and-down saga of the Bedford Playhouse is starting to take the form of a success story with the signing of a long-term lease with a property owner confident in a new vision for the theater. “For the first time we can really say this is going to happen,” said John Farr, founder of the playhouse. It didn’t look that rosy in February when Friends of the Bedford Playhouse issued a desperate plea to the community to help save the playhouse, which since 1947 had entertained the community in various forms up until January 2015 when Bowtie Cinemas gave up on the location. With less than a month before a March 1 deadline, Farr and his team needed to raise $2 million or Alchemy Properties would act on plans to convert the location to suit retail tenants — as the two parties had agreed in advance of the fundraising effort. The community support was overwhelming as more than 850 donors rallied to pledge $2 million — coming down to the wire as the final $35,000 was received only hours before the deadline. “Basically we are banking on a venture that raised money from hundreds of people; yes, it is risky,” said Kenneth Horn, president of Alchemy Properties. “But we believe the team John put together is a strong team. The community is very much behind the endeavor and we think it is going to succeed.” From providing seed capital at the start of the project to an option for the playhouse to buy the property in the future as part of the long-term lease, Alchemy has shown an earnest desire to see the project through. “We took a little bit less rent than we could have gotten from other potential residents by keeping the theater going, which again we think is important to the community,” Horn said. “We believed in the long run this would truly benefit the community.” While the dream of a state-of-the-art movie theater featuring curated films is rapidly becoming a reality, Farr remains cautious as a contract with an architect still needs to be signed and the not-so-small matter of breaking ground on what is expected to be a year long renovation has yet to begin. “What I am learning about a renovation process is stuff happens that you can’t foresee,” he said. “When I say a year it means we could be lucky and it could be a month or two sooner or we could be less lucky and it could be three or four months later.” The renovation process will involve building a large theater of approximately 280 seats that will retain the charm and grandeur of movie houses from the golden age of film, but will also incorporate cutting-

edge technology, screens and sound, according to Farr. A second, 90-seat theater will focus on creating an “intimate and modern feel and will be designed for maximum comfort and an unsurpassed viewing and listening experience.” The theater will include a small café with prepared foods, wine and beer available to the public as well as for movie goers. “The idea is to create a hub — a place where people can come even if they are not going to see a movie.” Farr envisions the space as a gathering place for poetry readings, small musical performances, theatrical presentations TWB Mosiello and even celebrity interviews, which he sucWCBJ 7.375” x 7.125” h into Stamford’s Avon ceed in w incorporating 6/1/15 when he led its relaunch in 2003. Theatre Yet more hurdles remain for the Bedford Playhouse; Farr stated that the funds raised

to-date are insufficient to cover all costs over the next year. The goal of $2.5 million was an “informed but still preliminary projection,” he said, and the organization currently lacks reserve funds for unforeseen renovation costs as well as staffing and is again looking

to the community to help. “A lot of people understandably didn’t think it was going to happen,” Farr said. “The reason it did happen is because the citizenry and surrounding residents rose up and expressed their support.”

Keeping proper perspective on Indian Point BY ARTHUR “JERRY” KREMER

ransformer difficulties, such as the recent malfunction at Indian Point Energy Center, are unfortunate but need to be kept in perspective. Such difficulties are a part of operating power plants. Every power plant, be it coal, natural gas or nuclear, has a transformer and they occasionally fail. There have been more than a dozen transformer malfunctions in recent years in New York. The reality is that sometimes mechanical problems occur, but periodic operational difficulties do not make a plant unsafe, nor do they mean a plant should be closed. The transformer that failed at Indian Point was a piece of mechanical equipment

JUNE 8, 2015

WCBJ | HV Biz

not related to the nuclear side of the plant. While any malfunction must be addressed, Indian Point had safety measures in place to swiftly respond to the issue. The plant immediately shut down, as it was designed to do, and the response was prompt and effective. Entergy, the owner and operator of Indian Point, has been and will continue to work with the Department of Environmental Conservation and independent contractors to ensure any remaining effects of the malfunction are cleaned up and mitigated. The transformer situation and the prompt return of Indian Point to service less than three weeks after the malfunction shows just how thoroughly equipped

and prepared Indian Point personnel are to handle any contingency. Their professional response shows us that Indian Point is absolutely and unequivocally safe. The plant has operated securely for decades. There are inspectors from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to continually monitor plant operations. The NRC is also overseeing Indian Point’s license renewal, and that exhaustive process has taken more than eight years and includes evaluating every aspect of the plant. This review process is rigorous, but Indian Point is up to the scrutiny. Year after year, the plant has received the NRC’s highest safety rating,

GUEST VIEW

and the agency has recommended license renewal. Even with the NRC’s highest safety rating in hand, Indian Point continues to go above and beyond. Entergy has invested $1 billion in upgrades and improvements since purchasing the plants. That includes all components of the plant, from the containment structures to the sprinkler systems. There are multiple levels of backup systems in place, such as a metal layer that surrounds the nuclear fuel, adding in extra protection. A four-inch thick, steel-reinforced concrete wall forms part of the containment structure. Many of these features may seem redundant or overkill, but they are all part of Indian Point’s ongoing commitment to provide safe and clean power to New Yorkers. It is not just the physical aspects of the plant that Entergy invests in; it is the employees as well. Indian Point is staffed by highly skilled workers, all of whom undergo extensive training. Before a new employee can even step foot in a nuclear power plant, he or she must complete some of the most rigorous safety training of any industry. Training continues throughout an Indian Point’s employee’s career. For instance, reactor operators receive a week’s worth of training for every six weeks on the job. This is to ensure their safety skills are always top-notch. The cause of the transformer failure needs to be determined, but it does not negate the fact that nuclear power in general, and Indian Point in particular, is one of the safest methods of producing electricity that man has ever known. The real danger lies in what will happen to New York if Indian Point were to close. There is no way to replace Indian Point’s energy generation without building new fossil fuel plants or bringing old ones back online. The increased fossil fuel usage would include increased toxic emissions, leading to poor air quality. These emissions are a direct threat to the health and wellbeing of many New Yorkers from greater asthma and respiratory problems. The bottom line is that Indian Point is safe and important for the economy and the environment. Arthur “Jerry” Kremer is chairman of the New York Affordable Reliable Electricity Alliance (New York AREA), an organization of more than 150 business, labor and community groups, including Entergy, the owner of Indian Point. Founded in 2003, New York AREA’s stated mission and purpose is to ensure that the New York metropolitan area has an ample and reliable electricity supply, and economic prosperity, for years to come.

INBRIEF DRUG DISTRIBUTOR PLANS $39M FACILITY AmerisourceBergen Corp., an international pharmaceutical sourcing and distribution services company with more than $120 billion in annual revenue, expects to start construction this summer of a $39.3 million distribution center in the town of Newburgh that will create 121 jobs. Gov. Andrew Cuomo in announcing the project June 2 said the pharmaceutical company, headquartered in Valley Forge, Pa., “will bring jobs, private investment and a new economic energy to Newburgh and the entire region.” Empire State Development, the state economic development agency, has approved up to $1 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for AmerisourceBergen in Newburgh, where the company has agreed to hire 121 new employees in the next two years and maintain those staffing levels through at least 2025. The company will be required to annually submit evidence that it satisfied all requirements for receiving the tax credits, state officials said. Howard Zemsky, commissioner, president and CEO of Empire State Development, in the announcement said AmerisourceBergen “further diversifies the economy of the mid-Hudson Valley and will help assure the region’s long-term stability.” AmerisourceBergen in a separate announcement said the Newburgh facility is one of three new distribution centers the company plans to add to its existing network to improve its access to manufacturers’ drug products, increase supply chain efficiency and enhance patient care. The other two planned centers are in Olive Branch, Miss., and Shakopee, Minn. All three developments are slated to begin this summer and will be completed in 18 to 24 months, according to the company. Amerisource Bergen officials said the construction projects are part of the company’s ongoing investments in its distribution network and information technology systems that handle nearly 35 percent of all of the pharmaceuticals sold and distributed in the U.S.

PUBLIC HEARING SET ON RENT INCREASES The Apartment Owners Advisory Council is urging apartment building owners to speak out about the challenges they are

facing as property owners at a public hearing and meetings to be held throughout June. The group is preparing to present its case for what it believes are justified rent increases before the Westchester County Rent Guidelines Board, which sets rent adjustments for renewal and vacancy leases in apartments covered by the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974. Carmelo Milio, chairman of the apartment owners council and an owner and

manager of buildings in Westchester, is calling for building owners to show up and speak out with personal stories of the challenges the county’s aging rental housing supply has posed. “Everything has become more costly and complicated in the ownership and management of apartment buildings in Westchester,” Milio said. “Leases used to be simple and straightforward, water rates used to be low, major capital improvements — once approved and properly made

— were never subject to retroactive scrutiny and challenge. These are among a litany of other concerns. Coupled with annual rent guidelines that often do not even meet the increases in the consumer price index, you have a recurring crisis in housing, year after year.” Milio said it has been an uphill battle for rental owners over the years as the board tends to base the decision of how much to raise rents on “emotional and political” grounds rather than on financial data.

“Unfortunately on an annual basis the decision tends to be made on an emotional basis as opposed to looking at the figures and the consumer price index and really giving us a rental increases based on what the numbers say,” he said. A public hearing before the board will take place at 7 p.m. June 8 at the White Plains City Hall, 225 Main St. Public meetings will take place June 16, 7 p.m., at the White Plains Public Library meeting room at 100 Martine Ave., and June 22, 7 p.m., at White Plains City Hall.

GROUND BROKEN FOR SOLAR INSTALLATION A groundbreaking was held May 29 in

Middletown to mark the beginning of construction on one of the largest privately owned solar installations in the state. President Container Group Inc., a New Jersey-based corrugated box company with a manufacturing facility in Orange County, partnered with Fairfield, Conn.based General Electric Co. to design and build a 2-megawatt solar array. According to a press release, the companies expect the ground-mounted installation to generate about a quarter of the energy used by President Container. “As part of the agreement, GE is providing PCG a solar solution consisting of equipment, site engineering, construction and installation, commissioning, spare parts, and operations and maintenance support for seven years,” the release stated.

President Container also took advantage of the state’s NY-Sun Incentive Program, which is designed to provide financial help in order to minimize the costs of installing solar systems. “The GE team worked with us through every part of the process, from the incentive applications and zoning approvals, to the equipment and site engineering, all the way to today’s installation,” said Larry Grossbard, general manager of President Container, in a statement. President Container expects commercial operation to begin this fall.

WHITE PLAINS NAMES NEW PLANNING CHIEF Christopher Gomez was appointed White Plains planning commissioner at a recent

meeting of the White Plains Common Council. Previous to the appointment, Gomez served as the director of planning and development for Port Chester, where he played a role in the waterfront revitalization plan that was adopted to redevelop the area of the village adjacent to the Long Island Sound. Gomez replaces Elizabeth Cheteny, who held the planning commissioner’s post for just more than two years and was fired in January for reasons not disclosed to the public. Gomez has also served as a co-manager in the Westchester County planning department and as the county’s historic preservation planner. He was also a transportation planner with the New York City Department of Transportation. Gomez will take his post July 7, and his salary will be $145,000.

THRUWAY WORKER ACCUSED OF STEALING A state Thruway Authority employee was arrested last month after being accused of stealing nearly $2,000 from a toll booth. Morris Fraser, 53, was a part-time toll collector assigned to the Interstate 87 barrier in Tarrytown. Fraser, who lives in the Bronx, altered toll tickets on two days in a two-month period and forged a paper ledger report, according to allegations made by the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The criminal investigation bureau was contacted by the Thruway Authority Toll Audit Department in May after finding that $1,783 was stolen. Fraser was charged with grand larceny and falsifying business records. His first court appearance is set for June 10.

Four pillars to a successful retirement, part two friendships bloom are home, places of worship and volunteer activities, to name a few. Where people meet people are also places where intellectual stimulation and growth can be nurtured. Having a plan and activities that will transition over time is crucial for long-term emotional happiness. Make sure these pursuits are of genuine interest, are challenging and provide a sense of accomplishment. It’s also important that it provides a sense of self-development and

that it doesn’t cost too much. So if taking a course at a local university is more in the cards than playing cards — do it! If an artistic indulgence is a passion as opposed to passing the time, sign up. And if joining a board of a charity is more of a personal reward than a personal donation, get active. This holistic approach to retirement creates interests, maintains health and doesn’t drain monetary or emotional assets. One of the most challenging things to do in life is T:7.375”

to retire. So make a plan to replace the old routine and schedule with a new one. Stay vibrant, not just busy. Let the third act be your finest performance. Joe M.

etirement is about how to spend time after the career is over, the kids are grown and the third act of the stage play called “My Life” begins. When planning for retirement, envision the big picture. It’s not just about the quantity of money saved; it is about the quality of the time over which it is spent. Part one outlined the four pillars to a successful retirement: finances, health, community and intellectual growth. It’s important to balance all four of these areas and have an understanding how they will change with age. • Financial considerations: Create a written financial plan that tests your cash budget based on certain scenarios. • Health and medical issues: Write a plan that discusses the proximity and quality of health care. Also include an activity and exercise plan that grows and changes with age. • Community and support: Devise a plan that includes friends, family and emotional support without the difficulty of distance or formal get-togethers. • Intellectual stimulation and growth: The “me time” that is craved for while working is now more important than ever to generate intellectual stimulation and long-term mental growth. Financial and health issues were discussed last time. Now let’s focus on points three and four. Staying connected to friends and family enriches retirement. Being involved with others is critical to success. In general terms, women have a tendency to do better in this area than men. But life can imitate art. For example, in the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” George Bailey is called “the richest man in town” because he has so many friends. Wealth is not just where the dollars are; it’s where the friends are. Two or three real friends are worth more than 100 acquaintances.

Last public hearing on Playland breaks no new ground BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

n a Rye City Hall room filled with more than 100 Rye and Westchester County residents, a legislative panel held its final public hearing on a plan to privatize management of Playland park. Resident Russell Gold said he was concerned not so much about what was included in the contract, but what was not. “There is no talk of seasonal employment for the county youth and no talk of expanding year-round use of the park,” he said. He was one of 15 who spoke of concerns to the county Board of Legislators’ Labor, Parks, Planning and Housing Committee June 2 over the proposed plan to hand over management of the park to Standard Amusements, a privately held company run by Harrison native Nicholas Singer. Some residents felt the plan was not in the best interest of the city of 16,000, citing environmental impact, noise or issues with the financial intricacies of the deal. Committee member Catherine Parker, a Democrat who represents Rye, said that traffic and noise have been two of the main concerns she has heard from constituents. Rye resident Harold Buchholz said he supported Standard Amusements’ plan because it has not tried to do too much, as he felt a previous plan by nonprofit Sustainable Playland Inc. that fell through last year did. “Standard has taken the most modest approach,” Buchholz said. “They’re injecting funds the county cannot provide and I believe Standard is here to improve the process for everyone.” In the proposed 15-year contract, Standard will invest $25 million to improve the park, which is currently managed by Westchester County. Standard’s current capital plan for the Rye amusement park calls for $5 million on new rides, $4.5 million on the pool and new water attractions, $2 million for the restoration of historic rides, $2.5 million for food stands and $1 million to renovate bathrooms in the bathhouse. The Board of Legislators is scheduled to vote on the proposed contract June 15. Rye Playland Advisory Committee Chairman Steve Vasko spoke in support of Standard because of what he felt was the county’s inability to serve as the landlord of the 85-year-old park without private investors. Vasko also said that if the plan were to be passed, then he hoped the youth workers who helped at Playland would be retained. “If we do the deal, we’re going to have

a great park by the end,” Vasko said, admitting there were tweaks that still could be made before it goes to a vote. The first public hearing on the Playland plan was held May 20 at the Board of Legislators’ chambers in White Plains. Before Tuesday’s meeting, Rye Mayor Joseph Sack said Singer and Standard have “said all the right things” so far in the proposal process. “We are very much concerned with protecting the quality of life in our city,” Sack said. It was announced during the hearing that Legislator Peter Harckham, D-North Salem, chairman of the Parks and Planning Committee, had resigned from his position. Legislator MaryJane Shimsky, D-Hastings-on-Hudson, was named the

JUNE SPOTLIGHT ORGANIZATION VOLUNTEERS ARE DISRUPTORS . . . AND THAT’S A GOOD THING IF YOU’RE ONE TOO. Volunteer New York! is the largest volunteer connector agency serving Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. For the past 65 years, it has been at the forefront to make it easy for anyone of any age or stage to support nonprofits. Last year, our communities grew stronger because Volunteer New York! helped connect 15,000 individuals, families, businesses and civic groups to service opportunities at more than 500 agencies, for a total of 240,000 service hours. Every single volunteer and each hour has the potential to make a difference. Volunteer New York! is continuously evolving to create effective ways to direct volunteer power — an innovative, disruptive force. The website, www.volunteernewyork.org, is a fine place to begin.

Volunteer New York! helps companies of any size integrate volunteer programs into their strategic planning. Volunteer New York! organizes community action days on 9/11 and MLK Day, creates customized company days of service and offers Leadership Westchester for professional development for those ready to intensify their level of commitment. “Volunteers are disruptors . . . and that’s a GOOD THING,” said Alisa H. Kesten, Executive Director of Volunteer New York!, during last month’s sold-out 35th annual Volunteer Spirit Awards event. Disruptors are needed to innovate. Disruptors are able to work together and bring change where others cannot. Disruptors strengthen our community by leaving us with something transformed — something that bears their unique mark — of someone who cares more than a little about a cause or a challenge.

WHY GIVE? “Businesses will benefit in many ways by offering an employee volunteer service program. Their employees will become more engaged, employee retention and recruitment will improve and ultimately the business will grow, become more efficient and profitable. As a result our nonprofit community partners will benefit as well. Our experience over the past four years shows us that the success rate of implementing this kind of program increases dramatically when we are involved.”

This month Westchester bids a fond farewell to Catherine Marsh, who is retiring as executive director of the Westchester Community Foundation. After a 30-year career in the field, she understands well the strengths and challenges of the nonprofit sector. Throughout her tenure, she has worked tirelessly to support the sector’s efforts of using the highest standards to deliver quality programs and services to better our communities. In addition to overseeing the distribution of $45 million in grants to area nonprofits and growing charitable funds that will continue to benefit our communities for years to come, Catherine has been a staunch advocate for the nonprofit sector in Westchester. Catherine was instrumental in the founding of Nonprofit Westchester (NPW), which was formed with the belief that the nonprofit sector must join together and advocate for its common interests in order to reach its full potential. As the saying goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. With her help, NPW has grown to nearly 100 nonprofit member organizations that are striving to build the capacity, raise the visibility and increase the impact of the nonprofit sector in order to create a more just and caring community. We’re on our way. Catherine, we wish you well in your retirement -Joanna Straub and hope we do you proud.

Decorators, A-listers among clients of Early Electrics in Peekskill BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

mong the older buildings on Peekskill’s waterfront is one that blends in with the rest of the other structures on North Water Street. “Early Electrics” is discreetly inscribed on the front window. While the outside might not be eye-catching or memorable, what lies inside is certainly hard to forget. Magnificent handcrafted lights, some more than a century old, hang from the ceiling, while antiques occupy nearly all corners of the twostory store and warehouse. The shop, owned by Steve Erenberg and his son, Daniel, offers customers what very few in the world can — turn-of-the-20th-century industrial lighting and other rare finds. To your left might be an early-1900s red velvet dentist chair. To your right a vintage

lager promotional sign. Behind you is a bicycle that’s twice the size of a person. And in front of you is a collection of World War I and II gas masks meant to protect soldiers, children and even dogs. (The latter, Steve Erenberg said, is among his most prized collections.) Built in 1881, the former print shop has a rustic feel, from its rugged brick exterior to its high ceilings, providing an appropriate home for Early Electrics’ retro inventory. As evinced by an A-list clientele that includes such celebrities as David Copperfield and John Legend (a recent buyer of a set of lamps), Early Electrics has a track record for niche, often hard-to-find products. “Seventy-five percent of our business goes to decorators,” Steve Erenberg said, his fingers covered in dust from a morning’s worth of work. “We’re their secret weapon.” He and his son sell antiques and design and restore lighting, which can often be time-con-

suming for them but especially rewarding for decorators hoping to avoid cookie-cutter models from a chain store. All inventory is stocked in Peekskill, and many items sell for $10,000 or more. Even while working as an executive in the Manhattan advertising industry — from which he retired three years ago — Erenberg was an avid antique buyer and seller. Father and son have been around the world to buy their products, including countries in Daniel Erenberg and his father Steve inside their North Water Street shop. Europe and Asia. During one week in May, the store is closed so the pair ing was an anatomical horse model Erenberg could go on a business trip to the Brimfield recently bought from a Parisian owner. He thinks he can eventually sell it for $75,000. Antique Show in Massachusetts. One of the shop’s biggest fans — and cusOccupying the workshop on a recent morntomers — is chef and restaurant owner Louie Lanza, who is at the forefront of the Peekskill revitalization effort. Lanza, an owner of the Hudson Room on South Division Street, had Early Electrics design the restaurant’s sushi bar. His soon-to-be opened Eagle Saloon will feature lights by Early Electrics, while Taco Dive Bar, another Peekskill restaurant that will be opening soon, will have antique benches and custom tequila bottle lights from the company. Lanza said working with Steve Erenberg has been a delight since the day he first walked into Early Electrics. “He’s creative and he’s a great guy,” Lanza said. “He’s been in the business a long time. I consider him a big asset to Peekskill.” Right now, it’s just Steve and Daniel manning the shop. It means long hours, often six days a week. Eventually, Steve said, they hope to hire a bookkeeper or two to lighten the load and let them focus on the designs. For now, they are consumed with acquiring the rarest, but also most useful products, which means traveling to find them. Erenberg said he didn’t buy the building for its location. A resident of Croton-on-Hudson since he was 28, he said Peekskill was simply convenient for him. Plus, most of his business is done online. Walk-ins are rare and account for just a fraction of his total sales. Those who do come in the store often treat it as a museum to look at but not buy in, he said. He takes it as a nod to the impressive collection the shop boasts, but he also needs to run a business. “We don’t have a lot of customers,” Erenberg said. “But we have ones that keep coming back with orders. There’s always repeat customers.” This article was first published in WAG magazine, the Business Journal’s sister publication.

DEALS &DEEDS BANK WILL MOVE HQ TO YORKTOWN

Northern Westchester Executive Park.

The recently expanded Putnam County Savings Bank this fall will relocate its corporate headquarters from Brewster to 2651 Strang Blvd. in Yorktown, the company’s new Westchester landlord, GHP Office Realty, announced. The bank has signed a long-term lease for 25,352 square feet of space in the Class A office building in the Northern Westchester Executive Park. GHP Office Realty has embarked on a $6 million capital renovation project since purchasing the 220,000-square-foot office complex, the former Taconic Corporate Park, in 2014.

Putnam County Savings Bank in April completed its $25.4 million acquisition of CMS Bancorp Inc., the White Plains-based holding company for CMS Bank, and five CMS branch offices in Westchester County. PCSB now operates 15 retail branches in Putnam, Westchester, Rockland and Dutchess counties. Joseph D. Roberto, president and CEO of Putnam County Savings Bank, in a press release said the time was right to upgrade the bank’s administrative facilities as it continues its “measured expansion.” The relocation and build-to-suit construction will allow Putnam County Savings “to not only centralize its location but to also centralize all of its key departments under one roof with new state of the art technology,” he said. The new headquarters will have approximately 65 bank employees. Kevin Dwyer, of The Dwyer Agency in Mahopac, represented the tenant in the deal.

May relocated its Westchester headquarters to the Sanborn Map Building at 629 Fifth Ave. in Pelham. The move was announced by Eric S. Goldschmidt, senior partner at Goldschmidt & Associates in Scarsdale, who brokered the deal for the 76-year-old publishing company. Archie Comics for many years occupied an approximately 7,000-square-foot office and warehouse building at 325 Fayette Ave. in a Mamaroneck industrial area. “But being in the digital age there was minimal need for a warehouse and a requirement for more office space,” Goldschmidt said. The lease for the brick-walled, high-ceilinged, 10,300-square-foot space in Pelham followed a lengthy search, he said. Representing the building owner and manger, an affiliate of Caspi Development Co. in Purchase, was Michael McCall, vice president at CBRE.

INDUSTRIAL BROKERS CLOSE FIVE DEALS Brokers at Friedland Realty Advisors in Harrison have closed on five industrial property sales and leases in southern Westchester County that totaled more than $5.9 million for more than 183,000 square feet of space. Friedland industrial broker Andy Grossman was the lead broker for both the buyers and sellers of two properties in Mount Vernon and Ardsley. Those deals were: • 200 S. 14th Ave. in Mount Vernon, a 26,748-square-foot property, was sold by Palmbrite Realty Corp. for $1,825,000 to 200 S. 14th Ave. LLC. • 642 Saw Mill River Road in Ardsley, a 12,500-square-foot warehouse space, was purchased by BRB Development Co. for $1,325,000 from 642 Saw Mill Properties Inc. Grossman also brokered the $900,000 sale of 0.52 acres of land at 229 Saw Mill River Road in Elmsford for both the property’s former owner, Corporate Car RE, and the new owner, MTS Realty Corp. In White Plains, Troop Realty Corp. leased 14,400 square feet of industrial space at 201 Ferris Ave. to Thriftland USA. Friedland Realty broker Steve Kornspun was the senior managing broker renting the property in a long-term lease. In Yonkers, Gezco Realty Co. LLC sold 252-C Lake Ave., a 43,000-square-foot building on 26,000 square feet of land, for $1,170,000. Friedand brokers Tony Lembeck and Peter Cokin represented the seller and the buyer, 716 Columbus LLC.

RETAIL BUILDING SOLD IN MOUNT KISCO An affiliate of A.C. Development Corp. in New Rochelle paid $3,225,000 for 200 E. Main St., a two-story, 15,000-square-foot retail build-

ing in downtown Mount Kisco, according to brokers at Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. in Bronxville. John Barrett, head of investment sales at Admiral, and Joan Simon, Admiral’s senior director of leasing and sales, represented the undisclosed seller, described as a longtime investor in both New York City and Westchester. Deed documents filed with Westchester County list David Gold as managing member of the selling parties. Simon spent three years leasing up the property to prepare it for sale. In a press release, she said the mid-block building “has a huge upside due to its very strong location and the pending lease up of a large nearby retail store that formerly housed national book retailer Borders.” Bankrupt Borders Books and Music in 2011 vacated its 21,500-square-foot space at 162 E. Main St. in Mount Kisco. The property reverted to a lender in 2014 after the building’s Connecticut owner defaulted on a $6.3 million mortgage. The buyer of 200 E. Main acquired it in a 1031 exchange, Admiral brokers said. Barrett said there was “substantial interest” in and multiple offers on the retail property. The sale and other recent deals show that buyers are leery of “ultra-low cap rates” on multifamily properties outside the New York City boroughs and are “diversifying their real estate holdings by asset class and location,” he said.

HGAR NAMES GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS DIRECTOR The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors has appointed Philip Weiden as its new government affairs director. Weiden, a Brooklyn resident, joins the four-county Realtors group in White Plains from the Long Island Board of Realtors, where he served seven years as legislative liaison to Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties. HGAR officials in announcing his hiring said Weiden will help to develop HGAR’s policies and objectives involving local, state and federal government affairs, as well as analyze proposed legislative actions and their potential impact on the association. He also will monitor legislative and regulatory activities, recommending positions to be taken by HGAR and coordinating initiatives for the Realtors’ Political Action Committee. The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors is a nonprofit trade group covering more than 9,500 real estate professionals who do business in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties. It is the second largest Realtor association in New York and one of the largest in the country. — John Golden
