Developer between a rock and hard place HARRISON RESIDENTS CHALLENGE PROPOSED SENIOR FACILITY

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

Maryland developer’s plan to build 160 units of senior housing on a former rock quarry in Harrison is being challenged in state court.

A group of at least 300 town residents called Save Harrison filed a lawsuit in state Supreme Court in White Plains challenging the project. Specifically, it questions the validity of a May decision by the Harrison Town Board that approved a zoning change necessary for the project.

The group said the project, planned for the Lake Street Granite Quarry Inc. site at 600 Lake St., represents a threat to the lifestyle

of the neighborhoods near Silver Lake in the town. In its lawsuit, the group states the facility would bring increased traffic, noise and potential flooding, plus possibly disrupt the ecological balance of a nearby wetland.

“We are talking about a project the size of two Home Depots going into a R-1 (residential) zone,” said Michael Levesque, a member of the Save Harrison group.

The 169,000-square-foot development is planned by Brightview Senior Living LLC, a subsidiary of The Shelter Group, based in Baltimore. Brightview manages a 95-apartment senior living facility in Tarrytown and 35 other similar » HARRISON, page 6

Comptroller blasts state agency over tax credits-for-jobs program

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

hen Muller Quaker Dairy began building a $200 million yogurt manufacturing plant in Batavia in western New York three years ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo cited it as an example of the state partnering effectively with the private sector to create jobs.

State support included more than $550,000 in tax credits approved by Empire State Development, the state’s chief economic development agency, from the Excelsior Jobs Program.

But the dairy, a joint venture of PepsiCo Inc. in Purchase and Theo Muller Group in Germany, closed operations in December. Now state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says Muller Quaker got at least $247,000 in excess tax credits.

That was one of several findings in the comptroller’s recently released audit of the Excelsior program. What’s more, DiNapoli accused Empire State Development of failing to exercise due diligence in running the program and of impeding auditors who reviewed it.

The agency responded tit for tat. The auditors don’t understand

the Excelsior program, Benson V. Martin, Empire State Development director of compliance, commented in the final audit, and all of the comptroller’s findings are “factually incorrect.”

“Auditors willfully chose to ignore key facts,” ESD spokesman

The Excelsior program was established in 2010 to spur industrial growth and replaced the state’s similar Empire Zone incentives program for companies.

Companies that create an agreedupon number of new jobs or that

make significant capital investments can receive credits to reduce their state taxes.

Crafty brothers on familiar ground in their startup business kitchen equipment.

For the brothers, working together is nothing new. The duo started a number of money-making enterprises together, from shoveling driveways as kids to selling snacks in elementary school.

“We both started working in restaurants, so it was just natural that was going to happen,” Louis said of their fraternal venture.

In choosing the restaurant industry for their first venture, the brothers are on familiar ground, coming from a family of

ouis and George Brindley weren’t looking to open a restaurant. Both in their early 20s, the brothers were content with their respective jobs within the industry: Louis in the back as a cook, George out front as a manager. In the future, sure.

Just not right now.

But when the opportunity presented itself in the form of a family friend looking to leave his gig as owner of sandwich shop Chubby’s at 33 Mill Road in Eastchester, the duo couldn’t say no.

“We just went with it,” younger brother Louis said. “We didn’t really plan it. We just signed the lease and then figured out what we were going to do.”

The Brindley brothers, who come from a family of restaurateurs, decided to stick with the spirit of the sandwich shop, though they weren’t content with simply offering your typical corner store fare.

“It’s a step up, something that you can’t really get at a deli,” Louis said of the offerings at their restaurant, Mason Sandwich Co. The brothers work side by side in the kitchen to create what they call craft sandwiches. Louis, who has worked in a number of posh eateries in the area, wanted

to bring that same fine-dining vibe to his new venture.

Priced at about $10, their “upscale sandwiches” include roasted pork paired with broccoli rabe, beets and fried goat cheese and beer-battered Chatham cod topped with a red cabbage slaw.

Inspiration for the diner’s menu comes from a variety of sources. Some items are updates to classics, like the BLT. or the shrimp po’ boy, while others are interpretations of Louis’ favorites, like the “53rd & 6th,” which boasts New York City cart-style chicken with a white yogurt sauce and harissa, a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste.

The latter dish was “inspired by nights out in the city, when the only thing that’s open is the halal carts,” Louis said. “It’s good, but it’s not good, so I wanted to make a different version of it.”

The brothers gutted the one-story building in Eastchester and completed the entire $75,000 renovation themselves with the help of their grandfather, an Italian immigrant and stonemason whom the grandsons honored in naming their restaurant.

Financing the buildout and startup costs in a three-way split with their father, the Brindleys also paid $15,000 upfront for expenses that included the shop’s inherited

restaurateurs and deli owners. Louis said his grandparents owned the former Lido Restaurant & Catering Center on City Island until the late 1990s and an uncle, owns Stanz Cafe in Larchmont.

Twenty-three-year old Louis said he got his start in the Brindley family business at 14 and began cooking at 17. He graduated to the kitchen of the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Square and The Cookery’s DoughNation pizza truck. He was also a sous chef at Fortina in Armonk.

“How I used to cook, the canvas would be a plate,” he said. “I look at the canvas as a piece of bread now.”

The eatery also offers milkshakes and an assortment of salads, soups and side dishes.

Soon, the brothers promise, customers will be able to enjoy a craft beer along with their craft sandwich.

Though the Eastchester sandwich shop only opened its doors in March, the Brindleys hope to eventually expand the business to Rye, Greenwich and even Manhattan.

“I have other concepts I would want to do with Mason,” Louis said with a smile. “I’m always thinking.”

BRIEFLY

JUDGE: MOUNT VERNON COUNCIL USURPED MAYOR’S AUTHORITY A JUDGE HAS RULED THAT Mount Vernon officials blatantly violated the city charter when they issued checks without the signature of Mayor Richard Thomas.

But the July 7 decision also dismissed several claims by Thomas and counterclaims by the elected officials. In essence, the judge said, everyone ought to start playing nice.

“The papers submitted by the parties in this matter reflect an unfortunate breakdown in the normal and necessary interaction between the executive and legislative branches of government,” acting Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Neary wrote.

“The type of interaction, which is essential for the proper and effective operation of city government is clearly lacking here. The court is being asked, in several instances, to assign blame and to direct procedures, which should properly be managed by the

parties themselves.”

Thomas sued in March, not long after he had become mayor, claiming that Maureen Walker, the comptroller, and Marcus Griffith, city council president, had been bypassing his authority to review and sign vendor checks.

Neary directed Griffith and Walker to stop issuing checks without the mayor’s signature.

Their actions, he said, reflect an “attempt to usurp the mayor’s authority and cannot be justified by any reasonable reading of the city charter.”

Thomas also made accusations against other city council members, the city clerk and a vendor, Creative Direction Construction & Design, owned by council member Andre Wallace.

Neary rejected all of these claims, as well as several counterclaims by the defendants.

For instance, Thomas singled out Wallace and his construction company, arguing that work had been performed improperly, a contract had expired and Wallace, as an elected official, had a conflict of interest in trying to extend the contract.

The city hired the construction company in 2014, before Wallace was elected to council, to build an emergency operations center in the Third Street Firehouse for $930,000 The project floundered and after Wallace was elected to council he sued the city for

$236,339 for breach of contract.

Neary ruled that Thomas failed to establish an impermissible conflict of interest.

The gist of the decision is that the city charter clearly defines the roles of everyone involved in the disputes and provides all the guidance required. Furthermore, certain issues are best determined by the political branches of government, not by the judicial branch.

Generally, the management and operation of municipal services “should not be preempted by the judiciary,” Neary wrote, “but left in control of duly elected officials.”

DANNON’S PARENT COMPANY BUYS SOY MILK PRODUCER DANONE, THE FRENCH FOOD COMPANY THAT controls brands such as Dannon, Activia and Evian, announced July 7 that it will purchase soy milk producer WhiteWave Foods in a merger worth $10 billion.

WhiteWave Foods is based in Denver and generated $4 billion in sales last year through brands such as the Silk Soy and Horizon Organic milk lines. The deal will double the size of Danone’s U.S. operations, the company said.

“We found in WhiteWave the perfect alliance as we both believe in a healthier future and are conscious of our power to lead society forward,” said Danone CEO Emmanuel Faber in a statement.

Danone will acquire WhiteWave for $56.25 per share in an all-cash transaction, the company said.

The Dannon Co. Inc., which has a line of more than 200 yogurt and other dairy products marketed in the U.S., is headquartered at 100 Hillside Ave. in Greenburgh. Dannon has 300 employees who work for Danone in the corporate office, according to a company spokesperson.

CLASSES START AT NEW TOURO DENTAL SCHOOL IN VALHALLA

TOURO COLLEGE OF DENTAL MEDICINE began classes on the New York Medical College campus in Valhalla in July with 110 students enrolled at the first new dental school to open in the state in nearly half a century The dental school, part of the Touro College and University System, received more than 2,100 applications for its inaugural class, according to Touro officials. It is the first dental school approved by the state Board of Regents since Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine opened in 1968.

The dental school’s classrooms and training facilities will occupy space being renovated at 19 Skyline Drive, a vacant, 248,000-square-foot former IBM office building in nearby Hawthorne that New York Medical College acquired for $17.5 million in 2013. A $2.075 million grant from the New York State Higher Education Capital Matching Grant program is being used in renovations to the 100,000-square-foot den-

tal school space.

Dr. Alan Kadish, president of Touro College and University System, in April said Touro would spend an estimated $25 million to $30 million for property acquisition and construction on Skyline Drive. He said Touro, in the third year of operation, plans to build a 132-chair community dental clinic occupying half of the dental school facility.

The founding dean of Touro College of Dental Medicine is Jay P. Goldsmith, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a former professor, program director and deputy chief in New York Medical College’s dental medicine department.

DURANTE RENTALS OPENS SECOND PUTNAM COUNTY LOCATION DURANTE RENTALS LLC, A 7-YEAR-OLD construction equipment and tools rental company based in Queens, has opened its second Putnam County location and seventh store in New York state at 11 Fields Lane in Brewster.

The facility, on a 13-acre property near the Brewster Ice Arena, opened seven months after Durante’s launch of its first Putnam County location in Carmel. Headquartered in Flushing, the rental company also operates stores in the Bronx, Mount Vernon, Elmsford and in West Nyack, where Durante launched in April.

John Durante, president of Durante Rentals, said in the announcement that the company found Brewster “an ideal location” for a northern hub to service Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties and “several other prospective, smaller stores in the Connecticut and Hudson Valley region. This opportunity allows us to expand our footprint greater than ever before.”

In addition to equipment and tool rentals, the Brewster location will also offer sales, parts and service for all makes and models of equipment. Durante Rentals Brewster is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays.

ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT GETS $6.8M IN FEDERAL FUNDING ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT WILL RECEIVE $6,866,280 in federal funding to build a new runway and taxiway and mitigate pollution.

The funds, granted through the Airport Improvement Program and administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration, will also allow the Montgomery-based airport to handle increased air traffic and enhance the local economy.

The Airport Improvement Program provides grants to public agencies for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Funds are drawn from the Airport and Airway Trust fund, which is supported by user fees, fuel taxes, and other revenue sources.

Macquesten plans $71M apartment tower near Mount Vernon West

BY BILL HELTZEL

bheltzel@westfairinc.com

s city officials move closer to rezoning a blighted area next to the Mount Vernon West train station, plans for a 20-story mixed-use apartment building are coming into focus.

Macquesten Development of Pelham recently presented drawings to the Mount Vernon architectural review board for 22 S. West Street Tower, a $71 million project that blends low- to medium-income housing, market-rate housing and retail space.

“It’s a very cool glass and concrete structure with insets on both wings,” said Joseph Apicella, Macquesten’s managing director of development. “So as you are heading up and down Metro North, you will have tremendous views of this magnificent building.”

The proposed building fits the city’s plan to transform a scruffy industrial zone into a residential and retail district centered at a mass transit hub. The way to do that, Apicella said, is to attract a critical mass of people.

The company has taken the first step with The Modern, an 11-story, 81-unit building at 13 Mount Vernon Ave. aimed at people with workforce incomes. Rents will range from $1,000 to $2,000.

Rendering of 22 S. West Street Tower.

It is nearing completion and it already has a waiting list for tenants. People could be moving in by the end of the year, Apicella said.

Macquesten’s strate�y for 22 S. West Street Tower is to blend workforce rates with

market-rate rents. Most of the 205 apartments will go to people who make less than the area’s median household income. The rest will be leased to people with greater incomes, whose higher disposable incomes can support more retail activity. Nearly 5,000 square feet will be set aside for retail use.

Rents would range from about $1,000 to $3,000.

Humphreys & Partners Urban Architecture of Dallas designed the building to be environmentally sound.

The site had been used for a gas station.

Since buying the property for $1.5 million last year, Macquesten has removed underground gas tanks and cleaned up contaminated soil.

For now, 22 S. West Street Tower can’t be built because city zoning does not allow tall buildings.

“Without 20 stories, we can’t build,” Apicella said. “We have to get 35 feet above the elevated train, for the view premiums.

Without the views, we can’t do this.”

The Mount Vernon City Council has been deliberating on a proposed 46-acre zone around the train station that would allow taller buildings and mixed-use projects. Apicella said the council could approve the plan soon.

Then Macquesten would submit site plans

for approval. Preliminary work could begin this fall.

The company has asked the city’s industrial development agency to approve a sales tax exemption on $1.6 million of materials and equipment bought for the project, as well as property tax abatement, offset by payments in lieu of taxes.

There is another crucial element. With Grand Central Terminal only 22 minutes away by express train, the location could be an attractive alternative for people priced out of Manhattan, Apicella said.

But the old Mount Vernon West train station is ugly and people avoid using it.

Macquesten would like to buy it, clean it up and develop the space for cafes and restaurants. The company is also looking to acquire and develop other properties near the station.

Apicella said the company has a winning formula: Design attractive apartments for a blend of income levels, make them environmentally sound, add retail space and locate at a commuter train station, allowing for greater mobility and encouraging pedestrian traffic on the local streets.

The 22 S. West Street Tower, he said, “will stand the test of time.”

facilities in eight states on the East Coast. The developer has entered into a contract with the owner of the granite quarry, Lawrence Barrego, to buy the 7.3-acre property.

The building would be four stories and contain 160 units. The units would include 84 for independent living, 50 for assisted living and 26 for memory care, according to a presentation the developer gave the town board.

The proposal for the quarry site has been met with heavy opposition from town residents since it was first proposed. The unanimous vote to approve the zoning change received boos and angry chants at the town board meeting on May 19. The zoning change allows for a special-use exemption for senior living facilities to be built on properties six acres or larger in residential zoned districts.

The Save Harrison group started a crowdfunding campaign on YouCaring.com in April to hire legal representation to challenge the development. The group has raised more than $57,000 since. Save Harrison also has a petition against the project that it said gathered more than 700 signatures.

Save Harrison attorney Albert J. Pirro Jr. of The Pirro Group filed the lawsuit on June 16.

“We think the town board and the plan-

Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Sullivan and Ulster counties. Companies have pledged to create 44,445 new jobs, retain 158,000 existing jobs and invest $4.2 billion.

Auditors sampled 25 companies that were authorized to receive $4.8 million in credits, including biotech firms Anellotech Inc. in Pearl River and ContraFect Corp. in Yonkers.

The audit concludes that Empire did not exercise due diligence in approving any of the 25 companies. It did not follow its own protocols. It couldn’t verify that companies had met all eligibility requirements. It didn’t support calculations for $4.6 million in credits.

The audit does not accuse the companies of wrongdoing or say that they didn’t earn credits. Rather, it says that Empire had insufficient documentation on which to select companies for the program and to accurately calculate credits.

According to the Empire State Development spokesman, “Auditors did not find a single instance where incentives were improperly provided.”

ning board acted improperly in the way they pushed this through,” Levesque said. “We feel that this our only recourse.”

The lawsuit challenges the project beyond is the traffic and noise concerns, questioning the thoroughness of its environmental review and the uniformity of the new zoning law.

The lawsuit claims the development was pushed through by concessions from a legal settlement between the Harrison Town Board and the quarry.

In the 2014 settlement, the town agreed to no longer pursue $825,000 it was owed in fines, dropped its pursuit of alleged code violations and agreed to “fast track” an application for a senior living facility. In exchange, the quarry agreed to sell existing inventory, not further its operations and end all litigation against the town. This deal, according to the Save Harrison lawsuit, was reached without public input.

“They basically gave away their legislative power to rezone before any public hearings or SEQR proceedings. They said, go ahead and apply for a senior housing facility, and if that is turned down, the town and you, the quarry, will agree on the change of use,” Pirro told the Business Journal. “How they possibly can do that is beyond me, but that is going to be certainly part of the litigation.”

The settlement stemmed from legal proceedings dating back to 2009, when the

town filed criminal and civil charges against the quarry for alleged violations of town code and issued stop-work orders, according to the lawsuit. Those were continually challenged in state courts until the two sides came to the 2014 settlement.

Attempts to build a commercial garden center in the early 1990s and a shopping center in 2014 at the quarry property were both rejected by the town.

The lawsuit also argues that the zoning change is not in accordance with the town’s 2013 Master Plan, which calls for senior housing to be developed in the “teardrop” region of the town between Interstate 684, I-287 and the Hutchinson River Parkway, and is instead improperly zoning a specific site. The Save Harrison group has said repeatedly that the zoning change represents illegal spot zoning — the zoning of a piece of land for the benefit of one owner.

The Harrison Planning Board gave the project a negative declaration for environmental impact, meaning the action will not have a significant impact on the environment, though that decision has also been challenged in the lawsuit.

Brightview Senior Living did not return requests for comment. It is being represented on the development by David Steinmetz of Zarin & Steinmetz in White Plains.

At a presentation before the Harrison Town Board in January, Steinmetz described

the project as a low-intensity use that could meet a need for senior housing in the town.

David Cooper, a partner at Zarin & Steinmetz, told the Business Journal that the Brightview project received a rigorous review from both the planning and town boards.

“The record shows not only did the town board and planning board take a hard look at these issues, but the record supports this decision,” he said.

Cooper said it’s not unusual for senior housing developments to receive opposition in communities, but he believes ultimately residents come to support them. He said for the quarry site, an industrial facility would be replaced by a very “mundane” use.

“I think there’s always a perception that these types of uses are going to create more traffic and noise,” Cooper said. “And then if you ask those same opponents that now are living next to a senior living facility, they turn around and realize these are the perfect neighbors.”

Town Supervisor Ron Belmont said he could not comment on pending litigation.

With its zoning amendment approved, the project is now in the site-planning phase with the planning board. There is a public hearing scheduled Sept. 27.

Levesque said Save Harrison will continue fundraising and is considering funding an independent traffic study of the project.

companies may have received too much.

For example, when three companies failed to hit their job creation targets, Empire Statre Development retroactively lowered their targets. That enabled the companies to receive credits worth $358,329 that they were not entitled to under their original deals.

Muller Quaker was one of those companies.

The dairy committed to creating 186 fulltime jobs in 2013. It had to achieve at least 75 percent of its benchmark, 140 jobs, to claim even a portion of the authorized credit.

Muller Quaker fell short, at 127 jobs.

Unforeseen circumstances, such as construction delays, could justify changes, the audit says. But auditors could find no request on file from Muller Quaker asking for a revision. Instead, Empire officials retroactively changed the job target to 127 and authorized a full credit of $247,082.

Empire responded that no law or regulation prevents it from retroactively changing job targets. The state auditors agreed, but added that to unilaterally reduce the target without documentation to justify the change “circumvents the intent of the law.”

ESD officials said the revision didn’t matter because the five-year job target remained the same and taxpayers incurred no finan-

cial risk.

But the audit says a company must fulfill at least 75 percent of its annual commitment to receive credit in any year. Muller Quaker failed to do so in 2013, and the company didn’t last five years.

“The public funded tax credits of more than $550,000 for a business that no longer employs any New Yorkers,” the audit says.

PepsiCo did not respond with a comment on the report.

Dairy Farmers of America, a milk cooperative based in Missouri, bought the Batavia facility and plans to reopen it soon, a Genesee County Economic Development Center official said.

Another case cited by the comptroller concerns Xerox Commercial Solutions LLC in Webster, near Rochester, which may have received an extra $360,000. Empire State Development calculated credits with different numbers than those submitted by the company, according to the audit, and did not have enough information to identify who could be counted as new employees.

Empire State Development responded that the agency discovered a mistake in Xerox’s information and corrected it with state employment and tax records.

Xerox did not respond to a request for comment.

The audit also says the state agency typically relied on self-reported information from businesses and did not corroborate the details. For example, the agency did not check whether jobs classified as new had actually been shifted from existing positions at affiliated companies.

The report has strong words about the agency’s conduct. Many of its responses are inaccurate, it claims, and in some cases include false statements. The agency repeatedly delayed the process, withheld information, limited access to staff and avoided addressing specific audit recommendations.

ESD administrators demonstrated “an intentional lack of transparency and accountability,” the comptroller says in the report.

ESD officials in response said the agency could use a more formulaic approach to running the program to insulate itself from charges by the comptroller. Instead, it uses discretion and sound decision-making and it makes better deals.

Empire State Development has 90 days to report to the governor, comptroller and state legislature on the steps it is taking as a result of the audit issued July 7.

The comptroller has no enforcement power but could review the Excelsior Jobs program in a year, said spokesman Mark Johnson in the comptroller’s office.

Every well-built business starts from a well-built relationship.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Summertime, and the working isn’t easy Last year, we should have maxed out August. Ended up being one of our lowest months because of vacations, one guy on light duty then didn’t come in, second guy struggling with shoulder problems. We were counting on this revenue, and now we don’t have it. Can’t let that happen again this year. What should we do?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make a plan for

what’s expected. It’s important to know how long each job will take. Weekly calendar adjustments are essential. Have a plan for making the last hour(s) of the day productive. Make time for downtime. Work with sales to maximize profits.

Map out each workday in 2-hour blocks.

Plan to rotate staff as they’re needed.

Schedule work in the same general location and try not to have people running from one end of the county to the other during a single day. Figure out who is likely to do the best work and who would be their backup. A central scheduler in the office that people report to throughout the day can keep an overall picture of how all work is proceeding.

Be realistic about the amount of time and resources needed to complete each job.

Overestimating what can be accomplished will only serve to put everyone behind when estimates fail to deliver. Keep records of how long jobs take. Know who works quickly and who needs more time. Plan accordingly.

Factor in the type of customer you’ll be dealing with. Someone who is going to micromanage the entire project will slow things down and it’s best to allow for that.

Rarely does everything go completely according to plan. If you add 10 to 15 percent extra time to a job, and you don’t need it, you can fill in by moving another job up. But if a job goes on too long, there’s a domino effect that disrupts everything else on the schedule.

Meet with the team each week to discuss current and upcoming assignments. Find out who has challenges and who has open

time. Keep an eye on jobs that are likely to run over, as those will cause disruption to projects that follow. At the same time, make sure that the right staff is going to each job, that is, the most qualified staff to quickly do the work needed that day.

Consider having a rotating team that travels from one project to another to help out. They can provide extra skills or just help boost the productivity of a team on any given day by adding extra hands to a job.

Ask people to hold off on vacations or limit the number of people who can be out when things are normally busiest. Put up a central planning calendar and allow people to pick days off on a first-come, first-served basis.

Keep a list of jobs that can be done in 1 to 2 hours as fillers for the end of each day, like routine maintenance. Often maintenance calls lead to additional work that needs to be scheduled; the person doing the work can put in some overtime to finish up or put it on the schedule for another day.

Don’t let people get in the habit of quitting early, especially if they’re on salary.

Make every minute of every hour productive,

teach people about the relationship between billable hours and affording payroll.

Whether it’s up-charging for the busiest days or discounting to fit in an extra piece of work on a slow day, sales can help with delivering profits if they know a bit more about what’s going on in the field.

Make sure that when things are busiest, sales is actively pursuing work for the next slow period. Don’t back off from bidding on work just because everyone is maxed out.

The best time to look for work is when no one has time to do just that.

CHALLENGING CAREERS

V

ictoria “Vicki” Ingrassia’s email address, wanderingpickle@yahoo. com, reflects her dual careers. In addition to catering under her own name, she offers hot air balloon rides from Randall Airport outside Middletown.

Raised as one of five children, upon graduation from Middletown High School, she enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park to become a chef, receiving an associate degree. The year 2010 saw a Bachelor of Arts degree from Fordham added to her credentials, with a license to teach.

While using her chef skills at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado, Ingrassia met up with hot air balloon enthusiasts who landed in the backyard of her rental cottage. She pleaded with them to teach her to operate a hot air balloon.

“I decided to buy my own balloon,” she said. “It is an expensive hobby,” she added, noting that is why she had to convert hobby to career, charging for rides.

“When I asked these men to teach me,

This chef can take the heat in the kitchen and in the air they said, ‘If God had wanted girls to fly, he would have painted the sky blue.’ I said, ‘Well, thank God we fly in the morning and evening when the sky is pink.’”

The balloon requires four people to get it into operation, involving 1,000 yards of fabric with rainbow design. It measures 60 feet tall and 40 feet wide.

“I have never actually viewed the design except in photos,” Ingrassia said.

“In addition to myself, I can only have four other people who occupy the basket with me,” she said. “Bigger baskets are made, but I enjoy the intimacy of a small basket.”

Her own tender memories are of the flights she took with her grandparents who helped her with the purchase of the balloon.

“There is no steering device on the balloon,” Ingrassia points out. “To change direction, we must drop or elevate the balloon to perhaps catch a wind from a different direction.

“One day an elderly couple approached me for a ride. He was wearing oxygen. When I told him that we could not allow oxygen

with a hot flame, he said he didn’t need it.

They had a very nice ride.”

Ingrassia said what she loves about balloons is “that they are so serene.”

She usually flies between 500 and 5,000 feet, but she has taken the balloon

up as high as 14,500 feet. For the uninitiated, that’s 2.16 miles high.

Landing can be bumpy, she warns passengers. There is no designated landing site — sometimes it’s the backyard of a private home.

She once cautioned a young passenger with a broken leg, “It’s all right,” came the reply. “I broke it skydiving.”

Another treasured memory is the flight she arranged for the man from another country who had been living with an American woman and planned to move with her outside of the U.S. During the ride he produced a beautiful engagement ring.

Two individuals whom she has not invited to fly with her are her Old English Sheep dog and her Burmese Mountain dog. They remain content to stay in the house at Cuddebackville and contemplate what their mistress has in store for them for their next meal.

SPECIAL REPORT

MID-YEAR REVIEW: BANKING & INVESTMENTS

Upbeat in Middletown about downtown STATE INVESTS $10M IN CITY

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

M

iddletown is $10 million richer after a visit from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo this month.

Cuomo stopped at the Paramount Theatre in the Orange County community on July 6 to announce that the city of about 28,000 residents was the winner of the new Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant for the region. The program called on cities statewide to submit applications for a $10 million state grant to help spur development and public and private investment.

Middletown’s application won for the state’s Mid-Hudson economic development region. It faced competition from other cities, towns and villages in the region, which includes Sullivan, Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.

Cuomo said Middletown was competing with hundreds of other downtowns.

A list of municipalities in the region that submitted applications could not be obtained from the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council as the Business Journal went to press.

“Cream rises to the top” in the case of Middletown, Cuomo said, announcing the city’s victory before a crowd that included Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano, state Sen. John J. Bonacic, Assemblywoman Aileen M. Gunther and Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus.

DeStefano told the Business Journal that recent developments within the city’s downtown made its application particularly attractive to the regional council, which reviewed all applications.

He pointed to the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine Middletown campus that opened in 2014, a planned $3 million private indoor soccer facility, the Fei Tian College of Fine Arts slated for the former Middletown Psychiatric Center and two new breweries — one recently opened and one on the way.

“We want to make our downtown — not like it was in the '50s and '60s, when it was a retail hub — but for commerce,” DeStefano said. “You’re going to see people here working, playing and living.”

Middletown wants to position itself as a player in regional development. DeStefano said the city has invested $16 million into its

water and sewer infrastructure to prepare for development and has rezoned downtown districts for mixed uses.

There is about 500,000 square feet of developed land and a total of about 1 million square feet available for development if the former Middletown Psychiatric Center is included, DeStefano said.

“We’re in a position to change the community and the $10 million is what we needed to really make it happen,” he said.

The state grant is not earmarked for any specific purpose. Instead of weighing project proposals, the Mid-Hudson REDC considered factors such as nearby investment, the existence of developable properties in the downtown, the ability of infrastructure to support new development and the application of smart growth principles, according to literature describing the application process.

Cuomo announced the program during his State of the State address in January. A total of $100 million was split among the 10 economic development councils in the state.

The governor also made stops in Geneva in Ontario County, Elmira in Chemung County, Westbury in Nassau County and Plattsburgh

in Clinton County to announce winners.

The other winners were not announced as of July 13.

While some of Cuomo’s economic development projects have come under criticism, including low job numbers for StartUp NY and a critical comptroller’s audit of the Excelsior jobs program, Cuomo in Middletown touted his economic initiatives and their role in the upstate economy.

While he said the state government has long neglected upstate New York in favor of New York City, the state is now investing billions to spur economic growth there. That investment is creating jobs, he said.

“We have more private-sector jobs in this state than have ever existed in history: 7.9 million jobs,” Cuomo said. “Unemployment is down all across the state. Unemployment is down as much in upstate and the Hudson Valley as it is in New York City, which has never happened before.”

Up next for Middletown: planning. The first of the $10 million will be disbursed by Empire State Development as a $300,000 grant to hire private-sector experts to work with local planners to draft a strategic investment plan.

KeyBank to close 15 Hudson Valley locations following First Niagara merger

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

K

eyCorp will close 106 branches in four states, including 15 in the Hudson Valley, as part of its $4.1 billion acquisition of Buffalo-based First Niagara Financial Group.

The merger between the two banks was approved by the Federal Reserve on July 12, KeyCorp announced, and should be complete by August.

The Cleveland-based KeyCorp announced the branch closings on July 11, but also noted that all employees in affected branches will be offered comparable jobs at other KeyBank locations. That offer won over U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who had publicly shared concerns with the acquisition costing New Yorkers jobs after it was first announced in November.

Schumer released a press release

Monday saying he and U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins (D-Buffalo) had worked with KeyBank to secure a commitment that, by 2021, KeyBank will have at least the same number of employees in New York as the two separate institutions have currently — 6,117.

“After months of discussions and tough negotiations with KeyBank, I am pleased that we were able to reach an agreement that ensures thousands of KeyBank and First Niagara jobs will remain in Western New York for years to come,” Schumer said in a statement.

KeyCorp has agreed to cut no more than 250 jobs and add at least 500 new jobs in New York over the next three years, Schumer said.

Seventy of the closing branches are First Niagara and 36 are KeyBank. For the majority of the closing branches, there is another First Niagara or KeyBank location within a mile, according to KeyCorp.

The closures will come in phases, starting

with 69 First Niagara locations in October and continuing through 2017.

KeyCorp said in a release that the merger will allow it to expand its network to more than 1,200 branches and more than 1,500 ATM locations in 15 states.

The deal increases KeyCorp’s assets by about $40 billion, to $133 billion, and places it among the top 20 U.S. banks by assets, Bloomberg reported.

The list of branch closures released by KeyCorp does not include any First Niagara Fairfield County locations.

Here are the planned closings in the Hudson Valley: • First Niagara, 600 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills. Closing in October.

• First Niagara, Erie Street and Route 303, Orangetown. Closing in October.

• First Niagara, 101 Kings Mall Court, Kingston. Closing in October.

• First Niagara, 117 E. Route 59, Nanuet.

• Key, 800 Westchester Ave. Floor 4, Rye Brook. Closing in November.

Working with your bank as a small-business owner

A

s a small-business owner, you are the chief financial officer, the human relations professional, the marketing manager and the IT guy of your own company. Managing your business’s finances and business accounts can feel, at best, like a nuisance. But effectively managing your company’s finances is one of the most

important indicators of success. Whether you’re a new small-business owner who just finished filing business documents or an experienced entrepreneur looking for a new bank, an effective relationship with your bank is essential to ensuring the financial health of your business.

Working with small businesses presents

unique opportunities for banks. Every small business is different and your banker is likely to ask you a few specific questions in order to understand your industry, financial history and business goals.

Preparing thoughtful answers to these questions will help your banker serve you and your business needs. Here are a few

questions to consider:

WHAT DOES YOUR BUSINESS DO?

A simple question that needs more than a simple answer. Be prepared to explain not only your product or service but also your industry, customer base and competitors.

When your banker understands the objective of the business, he or she will be able to provide you with the right tools for success.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE BUSINESS?

A business in its first year of life may have a different trajectory than one that’s been around for several years, and the best financial solutions can vary based on how a business plans to grow. Providing a snapshot of your business’s past will help your banker visualize its future and the best path for success.

HOW DO YOU GET PAID AND HOW DO YOU PAY OTHERS?

PCSB Bank Customer

True Local Means Taking A Personal Interest.

Banking that helps put people together.

“Almost 10 years ago I switched to PCSB Bank, because I was just not receiving the type of personal attention I expected from someone handling my business and my money. PCSB Bank keeps me in the loop with new products and services that I could benefit from but I also feel they have my back, because they know me as a person. Not only do they make my personal banking easier, but as a small business owner, they help me serve my customers better and continue to grow. And out in the community, PCSB Bank is well known, many people I meet bank there too. I like the feeling of being connected to something local and established that's there to help us all achieve more.”

The cash flow of your business is one of the key indicators of its health.

Understanding how money flows in and out of your account allows your bank to determine ways to improve your cash flow — ensuring you have the money you need when you need it.

WHAT WOULD HELP YOU RUN YOUR BUSINESS EFFICIENTLY?

Many banks have a suite of services and products, like online banking, remote check deposits and merchant services that help business owners simplify their finances.

For example, Bank of America offers credit cards specifically catered for small business owners and health savings accounts just for small-business employees. Before you meet with your bank, look online to see if any of their offerings jump out at you. Getting informed ahead of time will help you know what to ask for.

WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT REVENUES AND BUSINESS GOALS?

Are you planning to expand your business, buy equipment or increase inventory?

A deep understanding of your sales, projections, and goals will help your banker provide lending advice and options for future opportunities.

NYMC’s School of Health Sciences and Practice Takes New Approaches to Health Professionals Science

N

ew York Medical College’s (NYMC) School of Health Sciences and Practice (SHSP) brings health care to life by offering our students hands-on experiential training that complements our exceptional clinical and educational programs and allows students to see — first-hand — how they can impact and change lives. Upon graduation, this approach translates into health care professionals with the experience and confidence to hit the ground running in their work and careers. For example, our physical therapy and speech-language pathology graduates consistently achieve a 100 percent passing rate on their respective licensure examinations.

Located on a lush 54-acre campus in Valhalla, N.Y., in Westchester County, our beautiful suburban campus is convenient to New York City, the Hudson Valley, Connecticut

and New Jersey, offering a richness of culture and activity, as well as prime access to clinical sites and health care organizations for SHSP’s practical training elements. Since NYMC’s founding in 1860, our school has been committed not only to educational excellence, scholarship and professionalism, but also to diversity, inclusion, humanism and service.

Offering degrees in public health, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, biostatistics and epidemiology, as well as certificates in critical public health areas, SHSP’s focus is on educating and training our graduates so that they can change and improve health and health care in communities – locally, regionally and globally. “Opportunities abound for real-world experience and collaboration in all of our programs, along with the chance to do important research

S10 | COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES ADVERTORIAL RESOURCE GUIDE | JULY 18, 2016

that can lead to real change,” said SHSP Dean Robert W. Amler, M.D., M.B.A., in a recent welcome to new students.

The SHSP speech-language pathology (SLP) program is one of the few medically oriented SLP programs in the country. In a variety of clinical settings, students treat medically compromised and fragile patients, working as part of interdisciplinary medical teams. As department Chairperson Kathleen Franklin, Ph.D., CCC-SLP explains, the program goes “beyond words” to assess and assist patients and their families. “Going ‘beyond words’ means students will learn the broader context of health, disease and disability in addition to the requisite clinical skills. Additionally, SHSP’s uniquely strong focus on public health is how our students develop an appreciation for their role in ensuring the communicative health of the population.”

SHSP’s doctor of physical therapy (D.P.T.) program offers problem-based learning, an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the medical science curriculum with clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Students learn, from the outset, to consider patients from a variety of perspectives, to see the whole patient.

Department Chairman Michael Majsak, P.T., Ed.D., elaborates: “SHSP provides our students a perspective on physical therapy that does not occur in a traditional medical school environment. They learn state-of-the-art screening techniques for risk factors and early indicators of illness and how to design health and wellness programs. These skills complement those they learn for treating patients in acutecare settings, rehabilitation centers, home care and long-term care settings.”

SHSP’s master’s program in Public Health (M.P.H.) offers important opportunities for students to engage with real-world public health challenges through practicum and capstone projects.

SHSP, a pioneer in online learning, offers our traditional M.P.H. program (accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health) completely online as well. The online program features the same courses, taught by the same faculty, as our on-campus program. Supported by the school’s innovative e-Learning team, our online students love both the challenging coursework and the convenience of online learning.

The Doctor of Public Health (Dr.P.H.) program uses the extraordinary complexity of the New York metropolitan area to examine the socioeconomic determinants of health and teach the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend the relationships between policies, regulations, market forces and ethics of health care delivery. Graduates of the Dr.P.H. program have the skills required to oversee the financing and organization of resources; manage and improve delivery and access to health care services; conduct research to examine health care delivery; pinpoint information and data required to support change; and to analyze, develop and execute policy that will improve health care outcomes.

SHSP shares the NYMC campus with the School of Medicine, Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences and the Touro College of Dental Medicine, offering our students a lively and engaged health sciences community with vast extracurricular offerings that enhance our students’ education and interests. SHSP students also benefit by state-ofthe-art facilities and equipment, an extensive health sciences library as well as access to a breadth and depth of faculty experts.

LIU Graduate Degrees Key to Opportunity

T

he days of working for one company or even having one career for life are past. Equally long gone is the era when a successful career did not require higher education. Gearing up with a graduate degree before entering the workplace most often translates into a higher starting salary and increased opportunity. By the same token, shifting gears in mid-career is highly dependent upon the acquisition of new skills and credentials developed when pursuing a graduate degree.

LIU Hudson, a local campus of Long Island University, with locations, in Westchester and West Point, provides up-todate graduate study for those seeking an advantage upon entering the workforce, as well as those undertaking a career change.

Offering master’s degrees and advanced certificates leading to a variety of careers, LIU Hudson’s MBA and MPA degrees, for example, are paths to advancement in the corporate, not-for-profit and government spheres. The MPA is especially important for those interested in

driving policy decisions and improving communities. Both of these programs aim to endow candidates with vital skills for constantly evolving professional arenas. The MS. Ed. is required for state

employment in the burgeoning pharmaceutics and cosmetics fields.

LIU Hudson supports successful workforce entry and advancement through, for example: Chamber of Commerce

“LIU PLACES GREAT EMPHASIS ON PERSONAL ATTENTION SOMETHING THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE EXTOLLED CONSISTENTLY. OUR FACULTY DOES ALL OF THE ADVISING BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REAL WORLD BEYOND THE IVORY TOWER.”

— DR. SYLVIA BLAKE

credentialing of teachers, school counselors and school psychologists, with the M.S. a requisite for marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors.

Likewise, the MS in industrial pharmacy or cosmetic science provides the key to

Scholarships for MBA students (members of the Mahopac/Carmel Chamber of Commerce or the chambers of Orange County, New Rochelle, Yonkers and Mahwah, N. J.); through grants for students in the MPA, MBA or Mental Health Counseling

program who are employed by a not-forprofit organization in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Fairfield, Bronx, Bergen or Orange counties; and grants for students pursuing the MS. Ed. in teaching.

Graduates of LIU Hudson hold significant positions in school districts, businesses, clinics, hospitals and public agencies. Dean and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Sylvia Blake explains that, “LIU places great emphasis on personal attention something that our students have extolled consistently. Our faculty does all of the advising because they are in the best position to know what is happening in the real world beyond the ivory tower.

Whether the area of study is, business, health or public administration, the business of pharmaceutics and biotechnology, teaching, therapy or counseling with the CASAC track or crisis management, our faculty advise and guide, as well as teach. LIU Hudson is distinguished by those one-on-one relationships that can only flourish in the kind of nurturing environment that Long Island University has created in its regional campuses.”

DIAMOND PROPERTIES COLLECTS 8,000 POUNDS OF E-WASTE

Diamond Properties recently celebrated Earth Day with its annual collection drive of recyclable electronics from its tenants, an effort originally inspired by Diamond’s participation in the Westchester Green Busi-

PAGANI PR MARKS 4TH ANNIVERSARY Frank Pagani, founder and president of Pagani PR/Getting Your Story Right of Ardsley, has announced that he is celebrating his fourth anniversary in providing public relations and marketing communications services to clients throughout Westchester and Connecticut.

His career began in the U.S. Air Force where he served as editor-in-chief and feature writer for The Wingman, the base newspaper of the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing in RAF Wethersfield, Great Britain.

ness Challenge (WGBC).

In 2014, the WBGC, an initiative to move companies toward cost-effective environmental sustainability, motivated Diamond Properties to start the collection drive.

The requirements of one of the challenge’s categories, materials management/waste and recycling, were met by having employees bring in electronics from their homes to complement the office recycling program for tenants.

Because of the success of the program, the company decided to repeat the event for its tenants every year. In 2015, Diamond Properties collected and recycled 4,372 pounds of electronics. This year, the Diamond Properties team visited 15 properties throughout the week gathering recyclables and collected 7, 912 pounds of electronics.

The company has a focus on renewability, repurposing and especially recycling. In the past two years tenants’ participation has grown. Unlike other recycling products, which mostly consist of plastics and paper, most people don’t know where or how to safely discard their laptops, phones and other electronics.

Jim Diamond said his company plans on continuing its commitment to environmental sustainability by holding e-waste collection drives every year with the goal of collecting more recyclables than the previous year.

ST. JOHN’S RIVERSIDE LAUNCHES INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENCY

Following his military service, he co-founded and was senior creative writer and account executive for Miller & Pagani, a New York City graphic design firm specializing in creating and producing annual reports for publicly owned companies and organizations.

He has contributed bylined articles and feature stories to the Westchester County Business Journal, Fairfield County Business Journal and WAG magazine.

EREN CERTIFIED IN MCKENZIE METHOD 2016 class of internal medicine residents at St. John's Riverside Hospital.

Access Physical Therapy & Wellness is excited to announce the certification of physical therapist Cemre Eren in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy. Eren will be treating patients at the Armonk clinic at 530 Main St. “I became certified in McKenzie because I enjoy working with patients from all age groups, empowering patients to be independent and free from their back, neck, upper and lower extremity pains as soon as possible,” Eren said.

As a specialist in the McKenzie Method, she will teach patients how to treat themselves and manage their own pain using exercises and other strategies to restore normal functioning in daily activities, how to maintain improvements and avoid reoccurring pain.

The McKenzie Method is an assessment that is intended for all musculoskeletal problems to address pain and intermittent numbness/tingling in upper or lower extremities.

The first internal medicine residency program in the city of Yonkers officially launched on July 1 at St. John’s Riverside Hospital. The program was approved in February by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) after an 18-month approval process.

St. John’s is offering both three-year categorical and one-year preliminary pathways, designed to train knowledgeable, compassionate and efficient physicians. “There is significant demand for primary care physicians both nationally and locally, therefore, additional training programs are needed to ensure an adequate physician supply,” said Ronald J. Corti, president and CEO. “This program is good

for St. John’s and the community we serve.”

“The medical education program at St. John’s Riverside Hospital embodies our commitment to providing quality medical care to our community,” said Michael DiGiorno, designated institutional official for the residency and nephrologist on staff at St. John’s. “We began formally educating medical students nearly three years ago and with support from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, have continuously expanded and honed the program. Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on community-based health care and aligns with the hospital’s mission of service to our community.”

AIMEE NICHOLS NAMED YOUNG RETAILER OF THE YEAR

Aimee Nichols

When Aimee Nichols was 22 years old, her father, Mark Rubeo, bought Berger Hardware in Hawthorne. Soon after, Nichols started working at the store and within a year joined her father and brother, Chris Rubeo, as an owner.

Within her first year of ownership, Nichols implemented an automated ordering and inventory control process and added a special order system and trained her employees to start ordering items for customers that weren’t available in the store. Additionally, Nichols added several services, including screen repair, soil testing and propane refilling.

After owning the store for a year and a half, Nichols and her team worked with their cooperative, True Value Co., to come up with a new store layout and rearranged all departments.

In 2012, she bought a hardware store in Port Chester.

She found ways to improve operational efficiency and hired new staff and added a service center. Her goal was to increase profitability and within one year Nichols and her team accomplished that goal. Both sales volume and the number of customers coming into the store have increased significantly.

Nichols also implemented a marketing plan – which includes circulars, direct mail, an increased advertising budget, social media, store events and email marketing – that has also contributed to the company’s success.

In addition, Nichols keeps the store involved in the community. She holds an annual fundraising bake sale to benefit an organization called Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, and over the past five years the event has raised more than $10,000 for pediatric cancer research. She hosts several other instore fundraisers to benefit local organizations, provides scholarships to high school students and invites Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops into the store. Nichols is the president of Thornwood-Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce and is on the board of directors for Valhalla Ambulance. She also spent 10 years as a volunteer EMS worker and firefighter.

Additionally, she volunteers as a soccer coach for Mount Pleasant AYSO on the weekends.

The Young Retailer of the Year program identifies and promotes the next generation of aspiring independent home improvement retailers and recognizes individual achievement in the industry by retailers 35 years of age and younger throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Green Chimneys board of directors has announced the selection of Edward W. Placke to succeed Joseph A. Whalen as executive director.

Placke’s career spans 35 years and includes special education and vocational programming from the classroom environment to the highest levels of administration. Since 2009, Placke has served as superintendent of schools for Greenburgh-North Castle Union Free School District, which is composed of four alternative junior/high schools for students in grades 7 to 12 who have struggled in their

home school districts, BOCES or private schools. Under his leadership, the district has maintained the highest graduation rate for this type of school system with more than 50 percent of district graduates attending college, and the remainder of the student body attending vocational training programs or obtaining supportive or competitive employment.

Placke had earlier in his career spent five years as assistant commissioner of the New York State Education Department, Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities. As director of pupil services for the Colonie School District for 13 years, Placke had oversight of approximately 250 staffers.

Placke began his career as a BOCES special education teacher in the Finger Lakes region of New York and went on to teach college students with disabilities, as well as graduate students studying special education. He has served as school principal at the Center for the Disabled, and was a supervisor of special education for Capital Region BOCES.
