Proposal being considered for 28-story mixed-use building at 570 Main St., New Rochelle
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Developer Crossroads Centre LLC has gone before the New Rochelle Planning Board seeking approval to construct a 28-story mixed-use building at 570 Main St. in the city’s downtown. The developer had some dealings about the project with city sta beginning last fall including answering specific questions that were raised prior to the plans going before the Planning Board.
According to Attorney Mark Weingarten of the White Plains-based law frm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP, the building would have 547 apartments, approximately 12,060 square feet of retail space and 446 parking spaces. The building would be constructed on parcels at 570 Main St., and 102 and 106 Centre Ave.
Weingarten said that the applicant is a related entity of Allstate Ventures that previously has built projects in New Rochelle.
"Allstate in my opinion is to be commended for its successful execution in which they converted a back
alley into a beautiful downtown location," Weingarten said. "Allstate has also enjoyed much greater success in its retail spaces than some of its competitors. In fact, they have rejected service retailers and have held out for unique tenants ofering attractive deals to lure them to the downtown and make New Rochelle their home. Allstate is willing to make attractive deals to improve the quality of life for its residents and their neighbors. They understand that these are important long-term investments."
Weingarten said that the property is 30,546 square feet and is "very underutilized for this downtown." He said that there are one- and two-story restaurant buildings that will be demolished to make way for the new building. He said that the developer is asking for a four-story height bonus and will pay a required amount to the city in order to build the additional stories.
Weingarten said that with the existing afordable housing crisis, New Rochelle is ahead of its neighbors by
“This is somebody who understands responsibility. He's your neighbor already... he's committed to the investment in this area and he understands that there's work to be done.”
virtue of the development that has taken place so far and includes market-rate housing as well as afordable apartments.
Weingarten said that because a generic environmental impact statement was previously prepared for the downtown and subsequently updated extensive environmental studies are not required for the 570 Main St. proposal. He did point out that the developer is providing various studies related to the proposal such as a study showing the shadows the building would cast, a wind study and study of trafc impacts.
Architect John Zimmer of the frm Fogarty Finger said there would be three stories of below-grade parking, which would be self-park. The ground foor would be a combination of retail and building entrances. There would be three foors of parking above the retail that would be valet parking.
Zimmer explained that the upper levels of parking would be wrapped on all sides by apartments so that the building when viewed from the street would have a residential appearance. Above the upper parking levels would be an amenity level that also would have some building mechanicals. He said there would be a residential lounge on the top foor.
A number of residents spoke at the Planning Board meeting and expressed opposition to the project, largely based on concerns about traffc, the number of parking spaces to be provided and the level of development that already has taken place in New Rochelle's downtown. Questions were raised about where deliveries to the building would be made and the handling of garbage pickups.
— Attorney Mark Weingarten
Weingarten thanked the residents for their comments and noted that he has been working on projects for more than 40 years in Westchester. "We're not in a rush. This is a good developer," Weingarten said. "This is somebody who understands responsibility. He's your neighbor already. He owns three buildings right down the block and he's committed to the investment in this area and he understands ... that there's work to be done."
The Planning Board was expected to continue its review of the proposal at its scheduled April 15 meeting.

Westchester's inclusiveness highlighted at Jenkins' public inauguration
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
“Together, we will build a future that refects the values we hold dear.”
— Ken Jenkins
A sharp contrast was drawn by a number of speakers between the Trump Administration’s e orts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and Westchester County government’s e orts to provide seats at the table for a full range of people during the public inauguration ceremony for Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins on March 30.
The event took place at Westchester Community College in Valhalla. The oath of ofce was administered by Hon. Kathie E. Davidson, dean of the NYS Judicial Institute as Jenkins' wife Deborah held the Bible on which Jenkins had placed his left hand. Two of their three children were present. Jenkins, who was elected to serve the remainder of the term of George Latimer who was elected to Congress, has become the tenth Westchester County executive and the frst Black person to hold the ofce.
Dr. Belinda Miles, president of WCC, made a welcoming speech and noted that the college and Jenkins think alike when it comes to promoting the value of education and provid-
ing opportunities.
New York State Sen. Shelley Mayer served as MC for the event, which featured bagpipers from the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums as well as fags brought in for display by the Westchester County Police Department Color Guard. Westchester County Clerk Tim Idoni led the Pledge of Allegiance. Invocations were delivered by Bishop Troy P. DeCohen and Imam Shafeq Chace.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was a featured speaker, and recalled that election night 2024 was a difcult night for Democrats but having Jenkins as county executive and George Latimer representing New York's 16th Congressional District gives her important allies in her fghts against the Trump Administration.
Hochul pointed to the Social Security Administration's plan to close the White Plains Hearing Ofce as a sign that the Trump Administration doesn't care about seniors in Westchester. Hochul said that the administration takes the attitude "we don't care about your seniors. They can go miles, and miles, and miles to get help from Social Secu-
rity because we really don't care about them and we don't care about the 40 or 50 people who work there either.”
Hochul noted that Jenkins and Latimer ofered Social Security alternative space for the ofce in White Plains but the ofer was quickly rejected. "They wanted to infict pain on our people and that's the only thing I can conclude," Hochul said. "This era calls for strong leaders that people can believe in again, and that's what we have to deliver with leaders like Ken Jenkins and George Latimer and everyone else because we have the backs of our people. We know who we're fghting for, and we'll never, ever surrender to anyone — not here, not now, not ever."
Hochul said that Westchester County is known for exceptional teachers in schools. She pledged to continue to fght for childcare, downtown revitalization, and investments in Metro-North.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the ceremony and having Jenkins as county executive marked a great day for Westchester and for the country's democracy. "This democracy is an amazing thing," Schumer said. "Someone's trying to take it away right now and we're gonna keep it, we're gonna keep it."
Schumer reminded people of the tradition in the U.S. that people " stand in quiet dignity, go inside the polling place, and do our duty. Until Trump came along, everyone abided by the decision. Everyone. And that's an amazing thing. We're going to get that back."
Latimer said, "Anyone can say what they want about DEI. We live it every day." He then recognized Republican Congressman Mike Lawler of the 17th Congressional District who was in the audience.
Latimer praised Jenkins for being a good partner when Latimer was county executive and Jenkins was deputy county executive. He pointed out that Jenkins worked in promoting afordable housing in the county, helped bring in a new family court facility, and helped bring about successful negotiations of union contracts.
"The great part about Westchester County, we'd love to say it was true everywhere, is that if you were Black, Latino, Asian, Muslim, if you're male or female, or you have an identifcation in the LGBTQ community, whatever your religion is, in this county you've got a seat at the table," Latimer said. Jenkins, who has said he will run for a full four-year term in November, looked to the future in his remarks.
"The work is just beginning. But we will not falter. We will rise to the challenge because, here in Westchester, we vote with our hearts, we vote with our heads, and we vote to enact laws that protect, defend, and uplift one another. We will not be divided. In Westchester, we respond and not react. Together, we will build a future that refects the values we hold dear. The road ahead is long, but the strength and determination of this community will guide us every step of the way."
The program included video messages from U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, New York State Attorney General Letitia James and New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, and Westchester County Democratic Committee Chair Suzanne Berger spoke. There was a poetry reading by Westchester County Poet Laureate Phylisha Villanueva, as well as a performance by the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir. Benedictions were delivered by Arun Bhagirath from the Hindu Temple of Tri-State and Rabbi Leora Frankel of Larchmont Temple.

SCSU EARNS PRESTIGIOUS CARNEGIE R2 RESEARCH DESIGNATION
Southern Connecticut State University has achieved a major milestone in its commitment to academic excellence, earning national recognition for the strength of its faculty and research output. The Carnegie Foundation has awarded Southern a 2025 Research 2 (R2) designation in its Carnegie Classi cation of Institutions of Higher Education—a distinction given to universities with high research spending and signi cant production of doctoral degrees. This recognition places Southern among an elite group of research-focused institutions nationwide.
Southern is now the rst and only R2-designated university in Connecticut and one of just 139 across the country. The only institutions in Connecticut with a higher classi cation—Research 1 (R1)—are Yale University and the University of Connecticut. This advancement holds
particular signi cance for prospective students interested in STEM and other research-driven careers.
“Southern started as a teacher’s college, and we have remained a hub for learning, teaching, and community resources ever since,” said SCSU Interim President Dwayne Smith. “Our faculty are leaders in their elds, and because of our scale, undergraduates bene t from direct access to graduatelevel research opportunities—an often-overlooked advantage of our commitment to academic access.”
The Carnegie Classi cations serve as the nation’s leading framework for assessing research activity at higher education institutions and are widely used by policymakers, funders, and researchers to evaluate institutional impact and potential.
To qualify for R2 status, institutions must award a minimum of 20 research doctorates and invest at
least $5 million annually in research. By comparison, R1 institutions must award 70 research doctorates and spend $50 million on research annually. In scal year 2023, Southern surpassed the R2 threshold with $8 million in research expenditures and 29 research doctorates awarded.
While a signi cant portion of Southern’s research and development expenditures are institutionally funded, the university also receives substantial support from federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Departments of Defense, Agriculture, Energy, and Education.
“With R2 status, Southern is strategically positioned to attract additional research funding and form new partnerships,” said Marty Guay, Chairman of the Connecticut Board of Regents.
Southern is home to several research centers that support faculty scholarship, student research experiences, and community collaboration in areas such as autism spectrum disorders, educational and assistive technology, nanotechnology, coastal and marine studies, mathematics and the sciences, research and emerging technology ethics, and teaching and learning.
“As the state’s only R2 university, Southern is no longer a hidden gem,” said Dr. Julia Irwin, interim provost and professor of psychology. “Our students receive hands-on, experiential learning across a wide range of disciplines, mentored by faculty who are deeply committed to both teaching and research. This level of direct engagement is among our university’s greatest strengths.”

GOVERNOR LAMONT PROCLAIMS APRIL 2025 AS COMMUNITY
Celebrating the pivotal role Connecticut State Community College (CT State) has in shaping the state’s workforce and providing a ordable, high-quality education to thousands of students, Governor Ned Lamont has proclaimed April 2025 as Community College Month in Connecticut. This proclamation underscores the signi cant contributions of CT State and its campuses in fostering academic excellence and economic development across the state.
According to a recent study conducted by Lightcast, a global leader in labor market analytics, CT State has signi cantly bolstered the state’s economy, adding $3 billion in income during the 2022-2023 scal year. The report also highlighted that through its economic contributions, CT State supports an estimated 29,777 jobs statewide.
The proclamation aligns with the national observance of Community College
COLLEGE MONTH IN CONNECTICUT
Month, celebrated across the country throughout April. This year’s theme, “Best Decision Ever,” highlights the vital role of community colleges in o ering accessible pathways to higher education, economic mobility, and career advancement.
“The strength of a state’s economy is only as good as the strength of its education system, and that is why in Connecticut we’ve made our schools a priority,” said Governor Ned Lamont. “Connecticut has among the most talented workers of any state in the nation, and that is due in large part to our state’s excellent community college, which is training the next generation with the high-quality skills they need to obtain jobs that lead to successful careers. Connecticut’s community college is at the forefront of building up our economy.”
“We are honored to have Governor Lamont join us in recognizing the vital
role CT State Community College plays in transforming lives and strengthening our communities,” said CT State President O. John Maduko, M.D. “Community colleges o er accessible, a ordable, and high-quality education that empowers students to reach their goals—whether by transferring to a four-year university, gaining in-demand workforce skills, or pursuing lifelong learning. As we celebrate Community College Month, we take pride in being a gateway to opportunity and economic growth for our students and the communities we serve.”
“For so many students, CT State Community College is the rocket ship they need to propel toward success and achieving their dreams – both personally and professionally,” said Connecticut State Colleges & Universities Chancellor Terrence Cheng. “CT State is an important part of the fabric of our state. Connecticut’s only community college not only cultivates the next generation of talent but supports
nearly 30,000 jobs across the state, enhancing Connecticut’s overall vibrancy.”
As the largest college in Connecticut, the largest community college in the Northeast, and the sixth-largest degree-granting two-year college in the nation, CT State o ers accessible and inclusive education to a diverse student population of more than 65,000 credit and noncredit students annually. Additionally, more than 98 percent of CT State students are Connecticut residents, and over 90 percent remain in Connecticut after graduating—contributing to the success and growth of the state.
A ordable Pathways to Higher Education
• Renowned as the most a ordable higher education option in Connecticut, 89 percent of CT State students receive some form of nancial aid.

• In the 2024-2025 academic year, close to 20,000 students have received debt-free tuition and, during the ve years of the Mary Ann Handley Award’s existence, over $91 million has been paid for student’s education, enhancing access to education.
• With the help of seamless transfer pathway programs, more than 30% of students transfer to four-year colleges and universities after CT State.
• Compared to the average annual tuition excluding housing fees of $14,315 at Connecticut public colleges and more than $60,000 at private colleges, CT State’s annual tuition of $5,218 is less than half the price of public and 87 percent less than private colleges, making it Connecticut’s cost-e ective choice.
Psycholog y major Sam Chandler shared how CT State helped him re ne his academic and career path. “With two older siblings who attended private colleges, I started at Tunxis to save money,” said Chandler, who receives free tuition. “I knew I wanted to study psycholo$ y,
but I wasn’t sure which specialization to pursue or the best path to get there. My psycholo$ y professors, many with real-world experience, helped me explore my options within the eld and understand how to reach my goals. Now, I have a clear plan—earning my associate degree in psycholo$ y, transferring to UConn where I have been accepted, and continuing my education toward master’s and doctoral degrees.” He will also pursue a certi cation in social work so that he can gain hands-on experience while working toward his long-term career.
Enrollment Growth and Workforce Development
CT State has experienced steady enrollment growth, with a 6 percent increase in spring 2025 enrollment (34,399 credit students) and a 4 percent increase in fall 2024 enrollment (36,315 credit students), marking the largest increase in students and highest yearover-year growth in 15 years.
With more than 300 degree and certi cate programs, CT State provides

Yonkers flooring contractor charged with tax evasion
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A Yonkers flooring contractor who was relieved of paying $636,000 in taxes eight years ago has been charged with tax evasion for not paying more than $700,000 since then.
Brian K. Murray pleaded guilty to tax evasion on March 27 in U.S. District Court in White Plains, and he was released from custody on posting a $100,000 personal appearance bond.
The charge is based on personal taxes Murray owes on income from a Yonkers fooring company that is not identifed in the charging papers.
High Rise Flooring & Construction, of Yonkers, has been associated with a Brian K. Murray, according to property records and state and federal tax liens.
As of June 2016, Murray owed more than $2.5 million, including interest and penalties, for taxes incurred since 2001.
But in 2017, "after largely unsuccessful collection eforts," the govern-
ment says, the IRS wrote of $636,000 because the statute of limitations had expired. In 2018, the IRS focused on the 2011 to 2013 tax years, for which Murray owed nearly $958,000, including interest and penalties, according to the charging papers, and on 2018 to 2022 when he concealed pass-through income from his business.
Murray's business was organized as an S-Corporation, where corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits fow to the business owner's personal income tax returns.
Acting U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky says in the charging papers that Murray concealed his income by cashing business income checks totaling about $2.9 million instead of depositing them in the company's bank account; using the proceeds to pay $751,038 in personal expenses; paying workers of the books; and failing to fle correct tax forms.
From 2018 to 2022, according to the
government, Murray reported a total of $446 in wage income for two years and no wage income for two years.
Now, the government says, Murray owes more $700,609: including $590,270 for tax years 2011 to 2013 and $110,339 for tax years 2018 to 2021.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 2.
25 YEARS OF TURNING
NEVER BEEN BETTER
CONNECTICUT
By Georgette Gouvei a /
“I
must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
"And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…." – John Masefeld, “Sea-Fever”
On March 26, the Delamar Hotel Collection held a press event to introduce its newest hotel, the Delamar Mystic, which opened Feb. 19 and marries modern amenities with the maritime heritage of the village and Charles Mallory, Delamar founder, owner and CEO.
The Delamar Mystic joins Delamar hotels in Greenwich, Southport, West Hartford and Traverse City, Michigan, as the collection celebrates its 25th anniversary in a big way: This spring will see the opening of the Delamar Westport while a sister property in Westport, The Inn at Longshore, undergoes an $8 million renovation and expansion, now slated for fall.
MYSTIC AND THE MALLORYS
The three-foor, 27,000-square-foot hotel – which has 31 rooms and suites, a 2,600-square-foot ballroom, meeting and event spaces, a guest-only heated swimming pool and an outdoor patio and event lawn, along with La Plage Restaurant & Oyster Bar and wellness oferings through Cure Med Spa and Advantage Personal Training – has been designed to evoke the marine history of Mystic and Mallory’s family in less conventional ways by suggesting the home of a 19th-century shipbuilder. The present Charles Mallory comes
from a long line of such shipbuilders, beginning with the Charles Mallory who arrived on Mystic’s shores in 1816, using a sailmaking apprenticeship as a springboard for building and investing in merchant ships; and his son, Charles Henry, who blended the expanding family business with a passion for yachts, which he raced in the 1850s.
The founding Mallorys' august portraits greet you on your arrival, as does a sinuous, reef-llike Timorous Beasties wallpaper with a bespoke crab and lobster motif. Oil paintings and watercolors of 19th-century ships and other nautical scenes from Mallory’s art collection grace guest rooms and corridors, which also feature Schumacher wallpapers in blues and emerald green. Other touches, nodding to Mystic’s and the Mallorys’ global trade routes, are more unusual. An archival world map adorns the lobby ceiling while the elevator's mosaic foor reproduces the face of a compass.
Custom, Victorian-tiered chandeliers of shimmering blue-green prisms in the lobby as well as the sconces in La Plage Restaurant & Oyster Bar hark back to a time when prisms refracted daylight on ships to illuminate life below deck. A trumeau mirror, crowned with a maritime painting, hangs above the freplace in the lobby, which also displays the Juniper Books installation, whose spines form a whaling ship and a map of Mystic Seaport.
“My grandfather, great-uncle and father were all presidents of Mystic Seaport Museum, so this is particularly personal for me,” Mallory said in a statement. “I wanted the hotel to feel like it belonged to both the past and the present. Think of it as a respectful handshake between centuries.”
JACQUES PEPIN COMES TO THE DELAMAR GREENWICH HARBOR
On Sunday, April 27th at 5:30 p.m., Mallory, Delamar Corporate Chef and Partner Frederic Kiefer and Franco-American chef – and longtime Madison, Connecticut, resident
“Delamar Mystic is a respectful handshake between centuries — a modern tribute to the town’s shipbuilding past.” — Charles Mallory, Founder & CEO, Delamar Hotels
— Jacques Pépin will host a fvecourse seated dinner to honor Pépin’s contributions to French, American and Connecticut cuisine in his 90th year. (His actual birthday is Dec. 18.)
The personal chef of former French President Charles de Gaulle, who had led the Free French Forces against the Nazis in World War II, Pépin made a name for himself in the United States as both a food executive (directing research and development for Howard Johnson's group of restaurants) and chef (the Manhattan soup and lunch counter La Potagerie) before a near-fatal car accident that permanently damaged his left arm led him to reinvent himself as a restaurant consultant (Windows on the World atop the former World Trade Center), cookbook author ("La Technique," "La Methode") and, above all, PBS chef-educator, often appearing with Julia Child or daughter Claudine Pépin. The Pépins, along with her husband, Rollie Wesen, created the Jacques Pepin Foundation
in 2016 to provide grants, materials and instruction to community culinary programs that serve youths and adults who might have few opportunities to employment due to little education or training, homelessness, substance abuse or prior incarceration.
A portion of the dinner's proceeds will support the Jacques Pépin Foundation. The cost is $550 per person. For reservations, call 203-661-4600.
IN THE WINGS — THE DELAMAR WESTPORT
The Pépin’s dinner is not the only Delamar-celebrity collaboration. The Delamar Westport, which opens in June, will feature the work of fashion and interior designer – and Westport resident – Christian Siriano, who brings his creativity to the hotel’s lobby and the “Siriano Suites’’ – three suites that include the 3,000-square-foot presidential suite.
Among those greeting you at the front desk is the original Charles Mallory. An archival map crowns the ceiling.

Amended site plan approval sought for the way Yonkers building was built
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The developer of a seven-story 125 unit apartment building at 56 Prospect St. in Yonkers is back before the city’s Planning Board seeking amended site plan approval for changes that were made during construction without prior city approvals. The applicant 56 Prospect Holdings LLC had received an initial site plan approval for the building in 2017. The project did not proceed at that time as had been planned. In 2020, a new site plan approval was received.
Attorney Steven Accinelli of the Yonkers-based law frm Veneruso, Curto, Schwartz & Curto LLP told the Planning Board, "During the construction phase a number of issues were encountered by the developer and builder that resulted in changes to the exterior and the facade elements of the building. The building is essen-
tially complete. It's already constructed. The applicant is working with the Building Department towards obtaining a Temporary Certifcate of Occupancy."
Accinelli said that there had been a number of meetings with city ofcials regarding the circumstances surrounding the construction that led to elements not conforming to the approved site plans. He said that some changes are being proposed that would help mitigate some of the concerns about what was done.
The building ofers a mix of studio, one and two bedroom apartments, a ground level entrance lobby, mail room, laundry facilities and indoor and underground parking for 133 cars.
The building has two separate entrances, one on Prospect Street and a second on Buena Vista Avenue. There
is a private internal landscaped courtyard located on the frst foor residential level for residents. This courtyard is equipped with benches, picnic tables and landscaping. Security for the area will be provided by a decorative fence around the perimeter.
Accinelli outlined changes that were made as including changes to the color of the upper portion of the building and windows, the geometry of the parking structure grills and diferent material used for the courtyard instead of the pavers originally specifed in the plans.
The Planning Board Chair Pauline Galvin reminded the applicant that every Planning Board Approval Resolution says that any modifcations to the approved site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Board for a site plan review. The board is expected to continue reviewing the as-built condition and proposed mitigation measures during the process leading to a vote on whether to approve the amended site plan.

State Dems: We are ready to use ‘emergency powers’ to address lost funds
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
HARTFORD – The Connecticut Democratic leadership announced late last week it is prepared to “exercise emergency powers” to counter President Trump’s revocation of more than $150 million in health care grants.
“No state can restore every cut that comes from Washington or ignore the efects, especially on public health,” according to a statement Friday from Gov. Ned Lamont, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney, and Speaker of the House Matt Ritter. “However, sound fscal practices have positioned us better than most states in the nation. If this pattern of devastating cuts continues, we will be prepared to exercise emergency powers.
“Although we hope that Washington reverses course, we must plan for the inevitable or unpredictable. Over the coming weeks, we will be meeting to collaboratively plan how to best protect our state’s values during this chaotic period in Washington.”
The state Republican leadership response to the Trump administration’s pulling back of the more than $150 million in health care funds?
“CT Democrats say we must ‘plan for the unpredictable’” said state GOP Senate Leaders Stephen Harding. “CT Democrats talk about creating ‘emergency powers’. Yet CT Democrats do absolutely nothing to address the waste, fraud and abuse happening throughout CT government. CT Democrats oppose any spending restraint. They are steering CT toward a tax hike train wreck.”
On Thursday, March 27 Gov. Lamont reported that his administration was notifed by the Trump administration through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that it is immediately terminating a number of grants estimated to total more than $150 million that had been allocated to Connecticut for a wide range of essential public health, mental health, and addiction services, such as disease outbreak surveillance, newborn screenings, childhood immunizations, and testing for viruses and other pathogens.
“Drastic reductions were always going to impact our own state budget and now we’re beginning to see the unfortunate efects,” Lamont said Thursday. “Since the beginning of this
new administration, we have been modeling out potential outcomes and monitoring funding for critical programs. We will review these on a case-by-case basis to understand the impact and protect our most essential programs.”
The grants were largely committed to the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). The agencies are analyzing the impact of these cuts and as more information becomes available will notify providers in Connecticut that were expecting this funding.
These cuts are part of more than $11.4 billion in public health grants that the Trump administration announced this week it is rescinding from states nationwide. Congress has long recognized that public health begins at the state and local level and appropriated these funds to strengthen the nation’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.
The revocation of grants to Connecticut are part of a reorganization of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that calls for eliminating 10,000 positions, closing ofces and clawing back about $11.4 billion in that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had awarded states following the Covid pandemic.
"The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and HHS will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a non-existent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago," HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement.
"HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump's mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again."
Some of the hardest impacts will be felt by DPH’s Infectious Disease Branch and the Connecticut State Public Health Laboratory. On Wednesday, March 26 dozens of projects and all work being done by vendors and consultants funded by these grants were ordered to stop. Grants are also being eliminated that fund immunization activities and address health disparities. DPH is also being forced to cancel 48 contracts with local health departments and other providers for immunization services.
“We must plan for the inevitable or unpredictable. Over the coming weeks, we will be meeting to collaboratively plan how to best protect our state’s values during this chaotic period in Washington.”

“This is a dark day for public health,” said DPH Commissioner Dr. Manisha Juthani. “These grants fund many of our core public health functions. While we are still assessing the impact to our agency, we know that these cuts will severely hamper our ability to respond to any future infectious disease outbreaks, childhood immunization programs that we fund must now end, and critical work we have done to strengthen and increase our capacity to protect the public health of Connecticut’s residents must stop.”
Dr. Juthani admitted COVID-19 may have been the catalyst for those grants but, as Congress intended, these funds were being used to modernize systems, strengthen the workforce, educate the public, protect children all to prevent or mitigate the damage to human lives caused by future disease outbreaks.
DMHAS, which oversees Connecticut’s behavioral health needs in the areas of mental health treatment and substance abuse prevention and treatment, cautions that the cuts could
impact services related to housing and employment supports and many others.
“Let there be no doubt that this unanticipated and sudden cessation of these block grants will be immediately and consequentially disruptive to the behavioral health system in Connecticut,” said DMHAS Commissioner Nancy Navarretta said. “Now, our clients and providers are put at risk due to an unwarranted and uninformed decision. The services at risk include housing and employment supports, regional suicide advisory boards, harm reduction, perinatal screening, early-stage treatments, and increased access to medication assisted treatment.
Funding cuts will also extend beyond DPH and DMHAS. Funding is being eliminated for the Family Bridge Program, which is administered by the Connecticut Ofce of Early Childhood and provides up to three at-home visits from registered nurses and community health workers for families of newborns to help with the transition from hospital to home.

The Loukoumi Make a Di erence Foundation's di erent take on philanthropy
By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
It was while Nick Katsoris was general counsel of the Red Apple Group Inc. -- a Manhattan-based conglomerate that owns and operates assets in the energy, real estate, finance, insurance and supermarket industries – that he had an epiphany. A friend who had left a major hedge fund to pursue a personal dream, said, “You know, Nick, if you’re lucky you have one good act left.”
By then Katsoris – a graduate of Fordham Preparatory School, University and Law School who loved to write – had begun to self-publish a series of children’s books about a lamb named Loukoumi (after the Greek powdered, jellied candies) and various life lessons. (The frst, published in April 2005, hit No. 4 on the Barnes and Noble best-seller list and led to a New York Times story. The third of the 10 books to date, which have sold more than 100,000 copies, was titled “Loukoumi’s Good Deeds” and narrated in audio form by actress Jennifer Aniston. It would inspire an organization that works with children to do good as well.
Once the number of children grew
to 40,000, resulting in a 2014 Make a Diference Award from USA Today Weekend and Points of Light, established by President George H.W. Bush, Katsoris knew that organization would require full-time attention.
Today he is the founder, president and executive director of the 11-year-old, Eastchester-based Loukoumi Make a Diference Foundation, in which business and children’s development intersect with a diferent take on charities.
“We’re changing the landscape of philanthropy,” said, Katsoris, an Eastchester resident who continues his legal work with the American Arbitration Association. “Before, kids were told what to do . Now we ask what their passion is.”
The foundation – which works on philanthropic projects with 150,000 middle and high school students in 300 schools in 30 countries -- will hold its frst in-person Loukoumi Good Deed Summit April 23 through 28, bringing 200 children to the metro area, half of whom are from foreign countries. They’ll stay at the SpringHill Suites in Tuckahoe and a hotel in Times Square – two to three
“We’re in the business of doing good. When you do good, you help the giver as much as the recipient.”
— Nick Katsoris, Founder, Loukoumi Make a Diference Foundation
chaperones for every 10 children, Katsoris said – for a group of events that will include a Global Impact Forum at Eastchester High School, tours of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the United Nations; a visit to the September 11 Memorial & Museum, where they will present 1,000 open letters on the theme of “Never Forget” to families of victims of the 9/11 terrorists attacks; and the release of “Inspiring Stories That Make a Diference 2,” with more than 125 student essays, 75 written by summit attendees. Riding the Loukoumi Good Deed Bus, the students will also be bagging groceries for the homeless.
“These kids are leaders,” Katsoris said. “They’re going to inspire each other and go help others. It’s a ripple efect.”
Another highlight of the summit will be the 11th annual Loukoumi Make a Diference Awards, which will be held April 24 at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester. The event is a fundraiser for the foundation, which has an operating budget of roughly $250,000, a staf of two and “thousands of volunteers.” To raise additional funds, Herde de Ferme -- owned by Dee DelBello, publisher of the Westfair Business Journal -- will be creating a line of alpaca scarves, designed by Peruvian children and handmade in Peru, for the organization, which has beneftted its young participants as much as the recipients of their good deeds, Katsoris said:
“A research study of 1,000 students showed that 90% of them said doing good makes them happy, improves their self-esteem and mental health and gives them purpose.”
That’s particularly apt for those who have known adversity. One child wanted to help the homeless, Katsoris said, because her mother had been homeless. To empower a child to empower others, he added, ofers a boost that can be translated to the wider community and the corporate world. The Loukoumi Make a Diference Foundation has sponsored a reading library and book nook at the Westchester Children’s Museum at Playland in Rye, a treatment room at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and a teaching kitchen in The Floating Hospital, Long Island City, Queens, where children cook for the homeless. Another project enables you to send pre-addressed, prestamped kindness postcards into space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket that will then be mailed upon reentry to the person or charity of your choice, with its otherworldly path to the receiver noted.
At the same time, Katsoris said, “there seems to be a growing need for corporate events" that address the same concerns the foundation is exploring with the students. And that’s fne with him.
“We’re in the business of doing good. When you do good, you help the giver as much as the recipient.”

State awards Fairfield coveted Section 8-30g a ordable housing moratorium
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
“The moratorium gives us greater control over development as we continue expanding afordable housing and diversifying Fairfeld’s housing options.”
— First Selectman Bill Gerber
FAIRFIELD— The state Department of Housing has issued the town of Fairfield a long-awaited moratorium of applicability under Section 8-30g of state general statutes. The action means the town has received a certificate of a ordable housing project completion that gives it more control over approval of such projects for the next four years.
“During the upcoming moratorium, Fairfeld can leverage greater control over the size and design of developments,” said First Selectman Bill Gerber. “We have been making steady progress in increasing our afordable housing inventory, mostly by increasing the number of units that are deed restricted. Our goal is to continue to diversity Fairfeld’s housing stock as we recognize the need for more housing choices for Fairfeld’s residents.”
The moratorium, which went into efect on April 1, was issued after Gerber’s administration applied for it on Dec. 18, 2024. The application required proof that at least 2% of Fairfeld’s 21,982 housing units, as reported in the 2020 Census, be documented as afordable housing unit equivalents.
Town Director of Community & Economic Development Mark Barnhart said the town submitted an application that spanned some 600 pages and included documentation for about two dozen afordable housing projects.
“Today’s announcement has been a long time in coming and is the culmination of many years of work,” Barnhart said. “While the moratorium represents a signifcant milestone, we know that it is only temporary, and that our work continues.”
He added that since the town has a number of projects already already in the pipeline that will allow the administration to continue making progress on meeting housing needs and qualify for a subsequent moratorium.
In the last decade, the town has:
• Adopted an inclusionary zoning regulation that requires all developments resulting in 10 or more dwelling units to set aside not less than 10% of those units as afordable to persons or households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income.
• Established a dedicated Housing Trust Fund, which the Afordable Housing Committee has used to purchase property and make it available for new afordable housing developments enacted an inclusionary zoning fee of 0.005% on all new construction and building additions that don’t otherwise contribute to the Town’s afordable housing supply.
• Passed new zoning regulations making it easier to create
accessory dwelling units in all residential districts but the Beach District.
The town has the following housing projects that include afordable housing units, according to the frst selectman’s ofce:
Under consideration
4480 Black Rock Turnpike (96 units)
168 Kings Drive (10 units)
441 Post Road (478 units) only if their mixed-use project (Circle Diner, 110-bed hotel, 250 units) is not approved and/or also not appealed.
2179, 2199 Post and 29 Fairfeld Place (60 units) only if their mixeduse project (40 units with ground foor 9,400 SF commercial) is not approved and/or also not appealed.
108 Biro St. (100 Units)
812, 820 Reef Road and Forest Avenue (45 units)
430 & 452 Stillson Road (68 units)
1477 Congress St, (39 units)
105 Biro St. (40 units)
4221 Black Rock Turnpike (204 units)
Under construction
131 Beach Road (40 units)
140 Bronson Road (91 Units)
Recently completed
5454 Park Avenue (100 units)
Approved/not yet under construction
980 High Street (40 units)
Under appeal
15 Unquowa (63 units)
Berkeley Road (40 units)
Fairfeld’s most recent Afordable Housing Plan calls for the Town to explore ways to create “middle housing,” or multi-family developments built on a more modest scale, such as duplexes or triplexes, instead of multi-story apartment buildings.
The Town’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity will add more middle housing with two new elevated duplexes at 385 Quincy and 402 Quincy St. This will be the second Habitat project in Fairfeld. The frst is located at 244 Greenfeld St. and is expected to be ready for occupancy in June 2025.
Barnhart noted that a number of pending development applications are considered “grandfathered,” and must be considered by Town Plan and Zoning, as they were submitted before the moratorium took efect.
The town has ten pending applications fled under the State’s Afordable Housing Act. Should any of these applications be constructed, 30% of all units would be deed-restricted and available to income-eligible households.
Since the 8-30g statute became law, Fairfeld’s Plan & Zoning Commission has considered and rendered judgement on 26-six set aside development projects, half of which have occurred in the last four years, according to the town’s website. Of the 26 applications considered, the commission approved seventeen projects either outright or with conditions.

Eye on Small Business: Singular by Tainara Cruvinel
By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
After moving to the United States from her native Brazil in 2014 and completing an MBA at Columbia Business School, Tainara Cruvinel said her goal was to switch careers from finance to her original passion – fashion.
By the time she graduated in 2018, she and her husband had settled in Connecticut, with a 1-year-old in tow and another baby on the way. And it was then, “after nearly 30 years of living in heels” – shoes being her frst love – that “the honeymoon was over” and motherhood informed her new approach to fashion.
Tired of choosing between comfort and style, Cruvinel founded Singular by Tainara Cruvinel (https://be-singular.com), an online brand showcasing shoes and accessories from Brazil that combined both.
“I needed shoes that were beautiful, functional and ftted seamlessly into my everyday life.”
Getting started, she told the Westfair Business Journal, was defnitely the hardest part. “Once I found my fow, things started to come together. I began with a business plan and made it a point to reach out to local brands I admired, to learn about their journeys.
She also received help and guidance along the way, “from business counseling to the support of my angel investor, my husband, and the kindness of everyone who shared their time and knowledge with me,” for which she is grateful. “That said, the day-to-day hustle – negotiating, planning, selling and even hauling heavy boxes in and out of shows – is all me. It’s been intense, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding.”
Working initally with Brazilian designer Luiza Perea, Cruvinel said that shoes were “just the beginning” as she searched for “incredible” designers crafting unique, high-quality fashion.
The result is a curated frst collection, in which every piece “sparked happiness” in a highly-personalized shopping experience infused with Brazilian hospitality. While the “singular” style and quality of the merchandise – including handbags and jewelry – speaks for itself, Cruvinel said, she is also heavily invested in ofering products which she describes as “authorial” and “authentic,” terms she uses liberally on her website. Playing devil’s advocate, we asked whether these were simply buzzwords or whether they held real signifcance.
“They are absolutely not buzzwords,” Cruvinel told us. “When I say ‘authorial’ and ‘authentic,’ I mean it in the truest sense. I only work with brands where (designers) envision, design and develop each piece themselves. Nothing is mass-produced or outsourced.” She further explained that every item is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans with dedication and care.
Customers can choose to shop the Singular collection online, make an appointment to meet with Cruvinel or attend one of her pop-ups to see and feel the pieces for themselves – something she highly encourages. While she keeps some stock in Connecticut, the diference from a traditional business, she said, is that with most items she has just one of each — “they’re truly one-of-a-kind.” Depending on where the item is going, delivery usually takes between two and seven days.
In terms of proftability, Cruvinel said her business model was based on healthy contribution margins for each item, combined with carefully managed costs and strategic consideration of exchange rates. “It’s a lean, intentional approach that allows me to keep the business sustainable while staying true to the brand’s values,” she said.
She added that her biggest challenge right now was building a more consistent demand fow. With that, Cruvinel said, she would be able to scale. “Ofer a broader product assortment, plan further ahead, and set the foundation for long-term growth: That’s where I’m headed, and I’m excited for the next steps.”
When we solicited Cruvinel’s take on the idea that famous shoe designers – Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, came immediately to mind – tended to be men, she was right back at us.
“Famous designers, of anything, really – tend to be men, and that’s no coincidence. Our society is biased in ways that give men more access to capital, exposure and opportunities to rise to fame.”
She also mentioned – diplomatically – that many “famous” designers’ shoes were fashioned for the male gaze, rather than women’s comfort.
Last words? “It’s a lot easier to shatter glass ceilings and climb the ladder of gender bias when your feet don’t hurt.”

Matt Scott is the weekday morning meteorologist, part of the “Fox61 Morning News.” He joined FOX61 in 2013 and brings more than 20 years of broadcasting experience to the FOX61 weather team. Originally from New York City, Scott attended the University of Maryland and Mississippi State University. He has spent the last 15 years working as a meteorologist in Connecticut. In addition, he has worked in West Virginia, Mississippi, Charlotte and Boston. His work has been nominated for Emmy Awards many times. When he’s not on air, he’s online. Scott has won awards from the New Haven Advocate, the Hartford Advocate and New Haven Living magazine for his social media influence. But his two biggest accomplishments are at home – his two children. When he has a little spare time and is not sleeping, Scott loves to cook, play golf, play poker and read. He would probably be a better chef, a stronger golfer, a smarter poker player and a more accomplished reader if he could pry himself away from Facebook once in a while.

Michael Avallon Senior project manager Viking Construction Inc.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
My most humbling experience was working on my first commercial construction project, Rudolph Hall, the art and architecture building at Yale University. I was blown away by the level of detail and coordination required and felt truly inspired watching the project come to life.
What would your past self think of you now?
My past self would be thrilled to meet my children and would be amazed by how cool they are. I think my younger self would be glad to see that hard work truly pays of and would encourage me to keep pushing boundaries and exploring the world.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
What is the secret to landing a backroll on a wakeboard? I’ve watched the videos and given it my best shot, but I’ve yet to get the answer. (And it’s not been helping my back, either.)
Sarah Bollert Vice
president
of brand strategy and northeast business development Bristol Global Mobility
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I’m so proud of you for beginning to believe in yourself again.
What would your past self think of you now?
My past self would think, “That is someone I want to know and emulate.” She would be proud of how I have learned from my life experiences to better myself and those I meet along my journey.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
How did we all get here?
Jennifer Chiarella Deputy general counsel and adjunct professor Valitana LLC & Uconn Stamford
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I take pride in leading with empathy in both my workplace and classroom. Empathy builds strong relationships, fosters meaningful connections, and aids in resolving conflicts. By understanding the perspectives of employees, customers, students, and stakeholders, I create an environment where everyone feels valued. Learning to see others’ viewpoints helps find common ground and leads to mutually beneficial solutions.
What would your past self think of you now?
My past self would be proud of my growth through embracing change. I once feared uncertainty, but I’ve learned that adaptability is a strength. This mindset has allowed me to anticipate trends, pivot strategies, and seize opportunities. I would remind my past self that the unknown is not to be feared but embraced as a chance for innovation.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
“Always trust your instincts.” This advice has been crucial in my life and career. Trusting my gut has often led to better outcomes, reinforcing my confidence in my judgment. I’ve learned that instincts come from experience and a deep understanding of situations. My advice: trust yourself, stand by your decisions, and don’t hesitate to take a diferent route if it feels right.
Keishara Colby
Senior registered client service associate Morgan Stanley
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I’m a strong, hardworking, independent woman who embraces life to the fullest, whether it’s skydiving, swimming with sharks, or overcoming challenges. I refuse to let adversity define me and strive to be a kind, energetic person dedicated to helping others, both humans and animals.
What would your past self think of you now?
She would be proud of my accomplishments, from being the first in my family to graduate college while working three jobs, to moving from a small Vermont town to build a successful finance career. My work has allowed me to positively impact my community, assist families in reaching their financial goals, and support nonprofits. I also extend my passion to caring for rescued dogs while their owners are away.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
As kids, we can’t wait to grow up, thinking it means freedom. But my mother was right—adulthood comes with immense responsibilities and no one has all the answers. It often feels like we’re navigating without a map, but as long as we keep trying, we can learn and grow from our experiences, regardless of setbacks.
Casarra Cover President Whitaker’s
Garage Door Store
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
When I first got into the business, we had three employees. My husband who was helping build custom doors, one repair tech and one installer. I was only 18 and to get everyone to show up to work at 8 a.m. was a challenge. I look back now and we have 21 members of our Whitaker Family and literally do 10-times the amount in yearly revenue. Nothing is more humbling to know your hard work really does pay of and dreams do come true.
What would your past self think of you now?
She would be so proud. There were so many hard times. I had four kids in five years by the age of 24 and I was left in charge of our family’s business that wasn’t doing well. My husband and I struggled and everyone around us thought we were crazy. I knew then, and I can proudly say now, there is no easy route to fulfill your dreams. It just takes time and a lot of hard work. Past Casarra would be so proud that we never gave up.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
That having four kids before the age of 25 was a great idea. That my life would be what I make it, not dictated or determined by the people who judge and talk around me. When you are young you are very impressionable and sometimes people’s comments or judgments about you can deter you from your full potential. I wish I knew that more confidently back then.
Rishi Jaggernauth Director, EVKEEZA HCP Marketing Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I would describe myself as embodying kindness, curiosity and resourcefulness. I strive to be helpful and supportive, always eager to learn and provide a deep level of understanding in my interpersonal interactions. My goal is to create a positive and enriching experience for those around me, while also supporting their personal and professional dreams and aspirations.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
One of the most humbling experiences I’ve faced was having a loved one in the ICU in a coma while simultaneously being responsible for launching a new drug for an ultra-rare disease. This situation highlighted the need to balance personal and professional priorities and taught me resilience, the value of time with loved ones and the importance of presence, empathy and understanding.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to? Will the New York Jets ever win a Super Bowl in my lifetime?
Stephanie Joyce CEO and Founder Attune Med Spa
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
In college, my world changed when my dad lost his eyesight, pushing me into adult responsibilities earlier than expected. That Christmas, we celebrated with takeout instead of traditional joy, deepening our sense of loss. I cried, feeling the urge to “fix” everything, but my dad reminded me, “What truly matters is that our family is together.” Since then, I’ve embraced adult challenges and dedicated myself to supporting my family and becoming my best self.
What would your past self think of you now?
My shy small-town Texas self would be amazed at who I’ve become. I’ve faced challenges with grit, turning obstacles into growth opportunities. That kid would be proud of my strength and clarity, and she’d remind me to keep my fiery determination.
What’s something your parents warned you about that ended up being true?
My parents cautioned me that, as a Hispanic woman, breaking into leadership would be tough. Their warning proved true during scholarship applications and my business career. Instead of being held back, I worked harder to let my achievements speak for themselves. I surrounded myself with companies that value talent, allowing me to build a brand that celebrates diversity and champions women.
Jarad Kleinberg Principal MKDA
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
The most humbling experience I have had was witnessing my wife give birth to our three children while battling a life-threatening medical condition known as Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). During this time, she lost more than half of her blood supply, received 14 blood transfusions, and eight bags of platelets. Despite these overwhelming challenges, she exhibited extraordinary strength and resilience, persevering through the ordeal.
What would your past self think of you now?
Growing up with learning disabilities and dyslexia, coupled with frequent school transitions and a lack of educational stability, my past self would be astonished by the journey I have undertaken and the numerous challenges I have overcome to reach where I am today.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
My parents instilled in me the valuable lesson that success in life is not attained efortlessly; it requires dedication and hard work to achieve one’s goals.
Stephen Marcellino, Jr. Vice president, Sales Lippolis Electric
Tanya Mendoza Walk-in clinic paralegal Pace Women’s Justice Center
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I’m a hardworking individual that applies discipline, consistency and meticulous thought into everything I do. My main objective is to be a successful entrepreneur and take care of my family. My natural ability to be a leader drives me to nourish those around me to ensure success. My fast-paced mind may seem abrupt, but I think and make decisions the way I do in order to guarantee success for myself, my family, and those around me.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
I’ve had plenty of humbling experiences in my life. I would say the failure of my first business endeavor, which was a talent management agency set the tone for what it takes to be successful and I learned many great lessons from that experience, which has molded me into the businessman I’m today.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
Don’t trust just anybody. People have their own personal objective and sometimes they may seem they want to help when in fact they just want to derail your success for their own benefit.
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I’d compliment myself on being open-minded and always eager to learn. I believe this helps me understand diferent perspectives and grow as a person.
What would your past self think of you now?
I believe my past self would be proud of how much I’ve grown. They’d cheer me on and remind me of the joyful moments that can inspire me today. My past self would also ground me, reminding me of what truly matters and the things that have remained constant in my journey.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
I guess this isn’t just one question, but many. I’m often amazed by how many people there are in the world, and how each person lives their own unique life. Everyone experiences the world in their own way and I wonder what it’s like for others. But I also realize that since everyone’s experience is diferent, no one’s answer would ever be the same.

What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
What will our society look like when my children (currently ages 7 and 3) are coming out of college into the workforce?
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
My parents always preached to me that having a strong work ethic will lay a good foundation for future success. I began working a full-time summer job at the age of 13. Their message was if you work hard, stay motivated and remain humble then you can succeed in anything.
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
No matter what career path I’ve taken, making an impact has always been my focus.

What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
They always warned me that life doesn’t always go as planned, but you must make the best of it.

Looking back, I realize that their advice was right. I may have taken an unexpected path, but I’ve truly landed in my dream career.

That nothing in life will come free. If you want something, you must put in the time and efort to earn it and achieve it. And that hard work will pay of in one way or another.

What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
My parents always warned me that life has two paths and doors to open. Within those paths lie good and evil and behind those doors are the fruits of the decisions you make. They encouraged me to always choose the path of goodness and follow the rules, believing this would lead to a life filled with success and happiness. My parents’ wisdom is truly valuable.
Molly Rivers
Ryan Town
Grants
and Constituent services manager, municipal veterans representative Town of Stratford
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
I would compliment my capacity for empathy and understanding. This skill enhances my personal and professional experiences, making it one of my greatest strengths. To genuinely help others, you must understand them, and empathy drives my work and the human connections I value.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
Graduating in 2021 from Fairfield University right after Covid was humbling. As the job market adjusted to new work models, I resisted the pressure to rush into a career. I felt the weight of this decision when I struggled to find the right fit while many peers secured jobs. This patience ultimately led to my current confidence and rewarding roles with the town of Stratford.
What would your past self think of you now?
My past self would be proud of my diverse interests and the work I’m doing. As this is my first career post-college, I’m amazed by what I’ve learned about local government, collaboration, and project management.

Clark Rudd
Audit and assurance senior manager
Deloitte & Touche LLP
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
Early in my career, my wife and I welcomed triplets, which quickly outnumbered us and forced us to ask for help. Although we pride ourselves on independence, opening our home to friends and family for support was humbling. This experience taught us that everyone needs help at some point in their journey.
What would your past self think of you now?
My awkward teenage self, who preferred the background and struggled with confidence, would cheer me on. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone into client service, helping companies tackle challenges. This transformation inspires me to overcome insecurities and lead with confidence and passion.
What’s something your parents warned you about that ended up being true?
My parents often said, “There is no substitute for hard work,” and this has been true throughout my life. From doing Saturday chores to taking on challenging assignments as a young professional, I sought out tough opportunities. While these experiences demanded hard work, I approached them with energy and drive, leading to incredible opportunities with major companies.
Elisabeth Toth Marketing coordinator Robison
What would your past self think of you now?

One question I wish I knew the answer to is what life will look like in the coming years. I enjoy the ride of life, but I am a naturally curious person and would love to know what the future has in store. I know it is a question I will never know the answer to, but it would be cool to know.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
That you must work hard to get what you want. This helped me learn perseverance and discipline. Throughout life I kept that in mind and it helped me not get discouraged when things didn’t go my way or how I imagined them. I feel that lesson can fit almost every where.
Jorge L. Ulloa Design consultant
Remodeling Consultants Inc.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
Boot camp/Infantry school in Fort Benning, Georgia. I’ve always taken pride in the work I put into being a top-performing athlete for most of my life. In boot camp, you get completely broken down and must prove yourself from scratch.... I was surrounded by some of the toughest men I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. That was one of the most humbling experiences I will forever be grateful for.
What would your past self think of you now?
My past self would be very proud for all I’ve accomplished. I’ve always been a firm believer that hard work pays of and receiving awards like this proves just that. Although I wouldn’t have imagined winning any awards, I’m truly grateful for the recognition and journey that has gotten me to this point. I’m hoping I can say this again 10 and 20 years from now.
What’s something your parents warned you about, that ended up being true?
Not all people you consider friends are truly your friends. As I continue to mature and succeed in my field, I’m learning more and more that not all people I surround myself with are there to help me progress and do better.
Ryan Wright Financial advisor Barnum Financial Group
If you could compliment yourself, what would you say?
Continue to work hard and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
Not a specific experience but rather knowing that learning never stops. There is always someone with more experience and knowledge to learn from. Always ask questions and be eager to learn from those who have already achieved what you are looking toward.
What would your past self think of you now?
My younger self would be proud of the professional and personal progress I have made and excited for what the future holds.
Tatenda Zenega Director
Camp Morty
Westchester Parks Foundation
What is the most humbling experience you’ve had?
One of the most humbling experiences of my life was my college service trip to Colombia. There, I had the privilege of meeting a woman who traveled over two hours each day to a community center, where she provided free daycare services to families in need. She had been doing this selflessly for years, dedicating her life to others without expecting anything in return. It really helped put life into perspective and helped me understand the power of selflessness and the impact of putting others first.
What would your past self think of you now?
I think my past self would be proud of the person I’ve become today. I aim to be someone who sets ambitious goals and follows through no matter how challenging the chase becomes. I’m grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been aforded thus far and look forward to setting and achieving more goals in the future.
What’s a question you wish you knew the answer to?
I guess one question I think about is: “What could I have accomplished if I wasn’t afraid of failure or judgment?”

After a disabling car accident left her mom unable to commute, she turned to making chocolate in her kitchen to bring home the bacon. Elyissia would load up her shopping cart and venture through her Queens, New York, neighborhood, going door to door to sell her treats—until one day when some neighborhood bullies stole her candy and money. That experience taught her that the risks of owning a business were greater than she thought, but she was already bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and well-launched in the chocolate industry. Following her mom’s advice to “never take no for an answer,” Elyissia realized she needed to follow her heart. Despite having a lucrative telecom job while managing her chocolate business, she decided to take the plunge and get serious about the chocolate world. Once she left her telecom career, she immersed herself in the business, determined to bring inspiration through chocolate and create a brand that would become a household name. The other “Chick” is Elyissia’s mom, Barbara—afectionately known as “Chick 2.” She set a high standard for chocolate from an early age, and Elyissia fondly remembers urging her to turn their passion into a true business. Together, they built a legacy that continues to grow, blending creativity and determination into every chocolate creation.
