omentum, Belgian soccer player Simon Mignolet once said, is an amazing thing when it’s working in your favor — an opinion that the leadership at SoundWaters in Stamford certainly shares. While the Harbor Point

development has made plenty of headlines in recent years, SoundWaters — the 501(c)(3) nonprofit about 2½ miles away — is in the midst of making news as well. “Once this building and this park are open, Stamford Harbor is going to become a destination,” SoundWaters President Leigh Shemitz told the

Business Journal during a recent visit. The building in question is the 12,000-squarefoot Cohen SoundWaters Harbor Center, whose official groundbreaking will likely take place in early June; it is expected to open in mid-2022. Construction on the 12,100-square-foot build» ANCHORS AWEIGH

Panel weighs in on how Stamford and region can continue momentum BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

S

tamford may have long since dumped “The City That Works” as its motto, but the panelists at the Southern CT BOMA’s April 29 webinar about the city and the region insisted it still applies. “I believe strongly that Stamford Downtown is incredibly well positioned,” said that group’s president, David Kooris, touting the general pandemic-prompted shift away from “overheated gateway cities” like New York and San Francisco in favor of cities such as Stamford, which he said combines urban amenities with a suburban sensibility. Kooris noted that the city showed an unusual ability to retain businesses throughout the worst of Covid-19, including “all of our 95 or so restaurants.” In addition, he said, Stamford has grown its offerings in downtown by attracting several new retailers. He further noted that the city and the region both depend on New York City, with 90% of the region’s job growth over the last 20 years emanating from Manhattan and Brooklyn. “It doesn’t take a whole lot to move the needle in a community of our scale,” he said, estimating that Stamford’s residential units are now at 98% of occupancy. Still to be determined, Kooris

said, are whether companies will decamp from cities in a lasting way, as well as the still-evolving mindset about working from home in a postCovid environment. Stamford Partnership CEO Jon Winkel also said that the city, county and southwest Connecticut in general are “in the strongest position that its ever been in, at least in recent memory.” The pandemic magnified such attractions as greenspace, good schools and parks, and overall quality of life, he said. “We have a duty to do our best to retain these industries and businesses.” Creation of a strategy that encompasses branding, marketing and advertising and taking more ownership of the quality of life concept, are imperative, he said. Noting the recent news that Webster Bank would be relocating its headquarters to Stamford after its merger with Sterling Bancorp, Winkel promised “two or three more” major announcements in the coming weeks. Declining to identify the companies involved, he said, “There is some big news on the horizon.” Nick Simmons, former director of Strategic Initiatives for Connecticut and a policy adviser to Gov. Ned Lamont, reflected that in January 2019, when Lamont took office, “the big issue on our minds” was why Connecticut’s GDP had FCBJ

shrunk by 2% in the 2010s while New York’s and Boston’s had risen by about 30% and the nation’s by about 15%. The reason, the administration decided, was that areas such as Boston, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and the MiamiDade region had succeeded due to talent, the “vibrancy and culture” of those cities and social capital, infrastructure and capital long in place. Organizations like Stamford Partnership and Stamford Downtown thus have enormous potential for building similar ecosystems to bring together disparate stakeholders, Simmons said. Winkel said that roadblocks to continued progress include the poor state of Connecticut’s highways (“Driving north and/or east on a Friday in this area — it’s nightmarish”) and the relative unreliability of commuter trains. The availability of talent and a workforce in some key areas are also limiting the state’s growth, he said. “Computer science and data science … we need a lot more talent in that area in order to be more competitive long term.” Ubiquitous, reliable and affordable high-speed internet throughout the state is also critical, Winkel said. Notwithstanding the billions of dollars in economic relief coming from the federal government,

Ned Lamont; Jon Winkel, CEO of Stamford Partnership.

Simmons said a focus of the Lamont administration has been supporting organic growth and local innovation when it comes to economic development. “Instead of looking at somebody else’s garden and trying to steal the fruit and bring it over, we need to be planting seeds here — seeds of talent and investment that will grow themselves.” More locally, Kooris said that small-scale efforts like farmer’s markets and arts and crafts fairs will continue and be joined by “The Piano Project,” where over two dozen pianos will be painted and scattered around town to encourage music-making, as well as small concerts during the summer, and a return of the “Wednesday Nite Live” and Alive@Five” concert series in the fall. Regarding keeping the momentum going, “We’ve got the pieces of the puzzle,” Winkel said. “We’ve just gotta get it packaged up and in front of people.”

Wilton gallery browngrotta arts considers Covid’s impact on creativity BY PHIL HALL

While the pandemic is the foundation of the new exhibit, Brown said that artists often find their vision overhauled by personal joys and trauma. “One of our artists fell in love and suddenly started using color,” she said. “She never used color before — always natural materials. Another one got a divorce and everything was black for four years. And there was a woman who worked in wool and she developed an allergy to wool, so she had to move to organza and then she discovered that stainless steel mesh could give her the same

n some ways, the Covid-19 pandemic did not create a severe emotional burden on certain artists. “For some, it’s very easy to social distance as an artist because you’re really on your own,” said Tom Grotta, co-owner of the Wilton-based gallery browngrotta arts. “So, it’s not as much of a struggle.” Yet Grotta also admitted that other artists faced challenges during the pandemic that others may not have considered. “Some of them had a problem because they couldn’t get to their studios” he continued. “For instance, in the U.K. a lot of artists are in studios that the government controls. They couldn’t even get their supplies or stuff out of the studios, and that limited what they could do. They had to come up with new ways of creating or finding new materials.” The impact of the pandemic on the visual arts is the subject of this year’s browngrotta arts special exhibit “Adaptation: Artists Respond to Change,” which premiered on May 8 and runs through May 16. The exhibit presented under browngrotta arts’ “Art in the Barn” annual event — the name comes from the two-story barn built in 1895 that Grotta and his wife, Rhonda Brown, own and have converted into their exhibition and workspace. “Adaptation: Artists Respond to Change” offers the public a rare opportunity to view the browngrotta arts collection. “We’re only open to the public 10 days a year,” Brown said. “Even before the pandemic, we’re only open 10 days,” added Grotta. “We’re a niche market — we always tell people that we’re the biggest fish in the smallest pond in the world. We sell to museums all over the world. If you’re in this field, you know who we are.” Brown and Grotta began their business in 1987 and specialize in contemporary artists who are globally recognized as masters of fiber art techniques, working in sculpture and mixed media formats. The art represented by the gallery has gained in popularity among museums and collectors in recent years. “A lot of it had to do with the transitioning in museums where textiles, which is the bulk of what we show, used to be delegated to decorative arts,” Grotta said. “It used to be classified as just a woman’s craft, but it’s no longer the case. It’s in the major galleries and the major museums next to the major pieces, and some are among the works going for lots of money at auction.” Brown said the pandemic disrupted the gallery’s “Art in the Barn” schedule, forcing its relocation from May to September “between the two surges” in the Covid infection rates while limiting attendance to local art aficionados and collectors rather than the more

sensibility that organza gave her, but with more options.” After the exhibit closed, Brown and Grotta plan to launch online exhibitions via an updated website and to publish three art-related books they’ve been working on. A September exhibit might be staged at their space, provided the current exhibition is commercially successful. “We live with it,” Brown said about the art on display. “We hope it leaves and moves around, and then we are getting ready for the next one.”

diverse geographic audience that normally attends the event. “We had a lot of people who had to cancel plane flights,” Grotta said. “Normally, we have artists who were coming from all over the world and curators and clients from California who could not get here. So, it really became more of a tristate show compared to a multistate show.” But at least one group of attendees savored the experience. “We had a family who came from New York who brought up a picnic lunch with wine, and they were outside having lunch,” Grotta added, with a laugh. “It was the first time they’ve been out since March and they felt safe here.” With most of browngrotta arts’ sales coming from its online site, the gallery kept functioning through the pandemic. “The only thing that hurt us is that a big part of our customer base was the museum market,” Brown said. “And they’re sort of in retreat until Covid is over. Let’s face it, they’re more worried about getting people in the door and paying employees.” But as the pandemic starts to recede, Brown charted an increase in the gallery’s business, and interest in “Adaptation: Artists Respond to Change” has been percolating prior its opening. With new works by roughly 50 artists from around the world, the exhibit provides distinctive and provocative considerations of the pandemic’s emotional impacts. Among the most striking works on display are Ane Henriksen, whose “Urban Growth” is a massive collage from lost gloves and mittens she found along bicycle paths around Copenhagen; Lewis Knauss’ “Old Technology Landscape,” which creates a bird’s nest-style formation made from discarded photographic slides and twine; and Laura Foster Nicholson’s “Procuratorio Flooded,” a tapestry depiction of the climate change-fueled flooding in Venice’s central district.

Suite Talk: Peter Hubbell, CEO of Apply:you

A

s the Class of 2021 prepares to go out into the world, many of them will be challenged by the protocols of a job interview. Not everyone is comfortable being quizzed on why they could be the best candidate for a position. And many highly qualified graduates may fail to achieve positions they deserve due to an unsatisfactory interview. Peter Hubbell of Greenwich is seeking to rectify the problem with his company Apply:you, which offers a series of workshops to help recent college graduates ace their job interviews. Hubbell is a longtime advertising professional — having held executive positions at Saatchi & Saatchi before starting his own agency BoomAgers in 2011. With Apply:you, Hubbell promises to provide “Madison Avenue techniques” for neophyte job seekers. In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall speaks with Hubbell about his new endeavor.

What is the genesis of this new business? “I came up with this idea about 15 years ago. In the meantime, I started my own ad

agency focused on baby boomers called BoomAgers, wrote two books and became a leading global authority on marketing to people of age. “I had a couple of events recently that prompted me to take Apply:you and move it from the back burner to the front burner. One was right before Covid with the intergenerational strife that culminated in the ‘Okay, boomer’ expression. I’m 61 and accumulated incredible life experiences and I’d like to believe that young people would like to listen to what I have to offer. “The second was the virus itself — opening up the papers every day and seeing that this is the great job-eating virus. We’ve got another four-and-a-half million entering the workforce this May, so I said to myself, ‘If I want to make beneficial use of all of my years of advertising experience, now’s the time to lean into that.’” How does Apply:you work? “Apply:you is a series of practical workshops that help the participants understand their personal brand and how to articulate a personal brand story. This is based on the notion that most of these kids have; they

feel that if they simply go to a better university or get better internships, that they will get the better jobs just because there’s linearity in that. “What we’re doing differently is we’re leveraging Madison Avenue branding experience versus being human resources people. What advertising people do for a living isn’t to create ads — we create differentiation. At the core of our philosophy is teaching these kids not how to be better, but how to be different, because you need to have a strategy, you need to stand out and be remembered for being something different.” How do you tap into identifying what makes people different? “We start with a self-discovery workshop. Everybody has their thing that makes them great — you just have to discover it. Many of us, as adults, don’t even know what our differentiating thing is that makes us special and unique and attractive. “From self-discovery, then we determine how to craft a story that brings that to life. We work with them on the art of storytelling in a way that’s engaging. “Now, you’ve got a story of leadership or of creativity, agility or your ability to inspire other people. And, so, an employer hears that and suddenly you are a very different applicant than all the others who just came in and answered questions that they couldn’t anticipate.” Are you conducting group workshops or one-on-one coaching? “We offer one-on-ones for an individual who wants more hands-on attention, and we have group workshops. We are doing some virtual offerings, just because of the practical limitations of the pandemic, but now the vision is to be live.” “Imagine a bunch of college seniors who are home for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. And we get a hotel room at the Hartford Grand Hyatt with 100 kids in there and we run a program. It’s that type of a live program with workshop leaders who are former advertising and marketing professionals who understand branding — and they’re also inspirational-type people who are good on their feet.” What do you see as a potential challenge in reaching your young audience? “It’s interesting, because the jobs that all the kids want are going to require hard work. And what many of them don’t understand is you have to work hard to get those jobs. “We’re really trying to target the self-motivated kids who understand that it is important to have an advantage. It’s

Peter Hubbell not about data or having connections — it’s about you, really knowing what makes you different, special and unique and being able to articulate that in a persuasive way.” How much does it cost to participate in this workshop? “We want everybody to participate, so we’ve priced it along a continuum to allow people to engage at whatever level of extensiveness that they want. “We started on social media to offer a college graduation product that parents or grandparents can get — the perfect gift for the graduate who has everything except their first job. And that’s an hour-long introduction to our program at $395, which can be taken at any time over the course of a year. “We then have a group workshop (that’s) three hours long, so it’s a more robust curriculum, and that is $1,795. And then we have a one-on-one program that is five hours in total length that begins with a free consultation with the workshop attendee and or parents. That’s a no-obligation free one-hour consultation. “Then, there’s a three-hour hands-on workshop and a follow-up session where we help the workshop attendee with the work that they’ve done on their brand story, helping them polish it do a mock interview, and that is $4,995. “You might say, ‘Well, geez, $4,995 feels like a lot of money.’ It’s not a lot of money when there’s only one class standing between you and a job after your dad has spent $225,000 on your education.” What are your ultimate goals for the program? “Boomers are legacy driven and they want to help teach the next generation. What we’re saying is, ‘Let’s help Gen Z get off to the very best start that they can with their future careers by helping them discover what makes them great and then helping them to articulate that.”

ing, which also includes beach restoration and public access to the water, is underway and is slated to be completed in mid-2022. Recently the nonprofit, which is dedicated to creating broad access to the Long Island Sound, announced the receipt of a $3 million leadership gift from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation to support construction of the center. All told, it will cost about $8 million, with roughly 90% coming from grants and private donors. And, in keeping with the organization’s mission, its construction and operation will be as economically responsible as possible, Shemitz noted. The project is what she called the linchpin of the city’s revitalization of the surrounding Boccuzzi Park. While itself a destination for families, joggers and dogwalkers — and, yes, soccer players — Boccuzzi has long been in need of repair. When it isn’t flooding from the nearby waters, the sole parking lot can be an after-hours magnet for teens with nothing better to do, she said. Among other concerns are a deteriorating seawall, lack of sufficient public restrooms and the need to dredge the dock area. Public access to the sound itself has also been limited, something that

SoundWaters and the city are working together to improve. Stamford spent $86,000 in studying plans for the area, culminating in the creation of a Boccuzzi Park Master Plan by Stantec Consulting in 2018. As part of the master plan, SoundWaters received a $348,000 grant from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation to rebuild the dunes at the water’s edge once the city relocates the parking lot. At the time of the Cohen announcement, Mayor David Martin said the new Harbor Center “allows SoundWaters to expand this role and anchors the city’s revitalization of Boccuzzi Park, while increasing resources for education, maritime job training and recreational access to the Long Island Sound.” And education is very much a cornerstone of the nonprofit’s mission. Vice President of Development Bob Mazzone noted that SoundWaters began in 1990 when Len Miller, learning of the poor condition of the Long Island Sound, formed a group to buy a replica of an 80-foot, 18th century schooner. It was fitted with education stations, rechristened “SoundWaters” and is a popular attraction for students — some 6,000 annually — and families who can enjoy afternoon and sunset sails. Miller — who founded and chairs the board of the Discovering Amistad project

— remains in touch; “I just talked with him the other day,” Shemitz said. In 2000, then-Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy brokered a partnership that allowed the nonprofit to renovate the historic Holly House into office and additional education space; roughly 30,000 students make the trip there each year. Until Covid hit — or so one might think.

home, Commisso began to plan his strategy for Mediacom. “When he was looking at what was happening when Alan sold Cablevision Industries, he realized that a lot of these big companies were acquiring companies that were in metropolitan areas and then they would discard or sell very cheaply their rural assets, because they were really focused on serving the highly populated areas,” Larsen said. “And so Rocco’s philosophy was, ‘I can buy rural assets cheaply and then the money I save, I can then invest in upgrading those assets so that they have the same or better services as the larger cities.’ And that was day one, his belief.” Commisso took advantage of the existing talent in the area — individuals out of work from the acquisition of Cablevision Industries — and hired back his former coworkers, many of whom remain at Mediacom today. Commisso also delivered in many ways on his mission to make rural services as good or better than those offered in the city. For example, Larsen said that Mediacom was the first major cable company in the U.S. to take its entire network to 1-gigabit services, bringing them ahead of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago in that regard. “We were offering cities in Iowa that might have 300 or 400 people gigabit services before you could get that in Manhattan,”

Larsen said. Though others in the industry didn’t see the value at the time as Commisso did, his foresight has paid off. “The core of our business philosophy is to buy right, finance right and operate right,” Commisso said. “We did very well in the acquisition market in the late 1990s and early 2000s, paying very low per-subscriber costs compared to our peers.” “Now, oddly enough, rural assets are hot commodities,” Larsen said, acknowledging that this was a trend before the pandemic, but has only ramped up since. “If you have a good network in a rural area, you don’t have a lot of competition for the high speeds, so you’re the go-to source for high-speed internet. Now, you’re seeing a lot of companies pay top dollar for rural assets. So Rocco, in that regard, was the visionary, although obviously there’s some luck involved in that.”

Surviving Covid “We have a whole team of educators,” Mazzone said, “and they immediately set to work, because teachers need content. We ended up producing over 90 lessons which were uploaded and made available free of charge.” “We were also able to do virtual field trips,” Shemitz said, “which drew people from as far away as Egypt.” “Teachers Google ‘virtual field trips’ and we come up,” Mazzone said. SoundWaters also has three core educational programs for youth: Young Mariners, a local sailing and youth development group that it acquired through a merger in 2016 and draws about 100 students each year; Harbor Corps, which provides maritime job skills training for young adults; and Research Intensive, featuring college-level marine research opportunities for high school students. Shemitz said bottled-up demand

combined with increasing vaccinations has seen all of its warm-weather programs quickly filling up. “The cicadas have nothing on us when it comes to seeing these kids emerge,” she said. “It’s been joyous.” Shemitz credited the organization’s board and its array of donors for stepping up during the pandemic’s darkest days. Other fundraising events include the annual SoundWaters Flotilla. Patterned after charity walkathons and scheduled for July 10, that event has featured up to 200 people of all ages kayaking or paddle-boating through the sound; it typically raises about $20,000 each year. Even more popular is the annual HarborFest. Set for Aug. 28, it includes harbor tours, mini-golf and other activities — crowned by the self-explanatory Cardboard Kayak Race. Martin has participated in the past; in fact, the winner is presented with a Mayor’s Trophy. “Probably 97% of the entries end up sinking,” Mazzone said. “It draws thousands of people and it’s absolutely hilarious.” That both events expose the uninitiated to SoundWaters and the harbor is the icing on the cake, Shemitz said. “There is still so much potential here, which the Harbor Center will help us realize,” she said. “That makes our future even more exciting.”

began in the Hudson Valley. Mediacom’s founder and CEO, Rocco Commisso, traveled by ship to the United States from Calabria, Italy at age 12. After going to Columbia University on a soccer scholarship, he became a Wall Street banker, working for companies such as Chase and the Royal Bank of Canada. He lent money to several cable and telecommunications companies through his banking roles, and met Alan Gerry, the founder of Cablevision Industries in Sullivan County (not to be confused with the Cablevision company founded by Charles Dolan, now owned by Altice.) Gerry founded Cablevision Industries initially to provide cable service to his rural hometown of Liberty, where reception was poor. Gerry addressed the problem and eventually expanded down the East Coast. “Rocco, after lending money for years to Alan and to other cable people, took a job as chief financial officer at Alan’s company and from around 1985 to 1995 Rocco worked in Liberty and helped Alan grow from the 25th to the eighth biggest cable company,” said Thomas Larsen, senior vice president for government and public relations at Mediacom. “Then Alan sold to Time Warner and Rocco decided at that point in 1995 to start his own cable company.” AHEAD OF THE CURVE Working out of the basement of his

CUSTOMER CENTRIC Certainly there is some luck involved in building up a service that has essentially become a necessity in our current day, and Mediacom has seen the type of consistent financial growth that is quite rare in any company. “When we announce our results for the first quarter of 2021, it will mark the 97th straight quarter of year-over-year revenue growth for Mediacom, which is an incredi-

bly unique operational accomplishment in any industry,” Commisso said. The Covid-19 pandemic has also reinforced the urgent need for high-quality internet service, putting Mediacom in the fortunate spot of being in one of few industries for which business has been booming in the past year. The company signed on to the Federal Communications Commission’s Keep Americans Connected Pledge in March, which states that it would not terminate connectivity to any resident or small business unable to pay because of the effects of the pandemic, would waive any late fees incurred and would open its WiFi hotspots to anyone in the U.S. who needed them. The FCC cited Mediacom as one of the companies that went above and beyond for its efforts, including increasing broadband speeds, offering two months of free broadband service to new low-income customers, reducing prices for new customers and suspending all data usage limits for the first two months of the pandemic, which later extended to most of 2020. The company introduced low-cost programs in order to get more people online. “We signed on to (the Keep Americans Connected Pledge) and that pledge really meant do everything you can at the company to get people online and keep them online, stay connected to the world,” » MEDIACOM

Larsen said. “And I remember having this conversation early on and thinking that this was a historic moment and that we want to be on the right side of history, and that was kind of our mantra through it all. “It led to a record number of customers coming on the network, so behaving appropriately ultimately helped the company, but I think we would have done it either way.” STAYING COMPETITIVE The company gained just over 100,000 customers in 2020. More growth is likely in the future, too, especially with an uptick in federal and state grant funding for expanding broadband in rural areas — even, potentially, $100 billion for that purpose, through President Biden’s proposed American Jobs Plan. “The companies that have networks there are going to be beneficiaries of a lot of this government grant money,” Larsen said. “And that money is largely going into areas that have lagged in service. So if you own a small town that has fiber, you’re gonna be in the best position to expand that fiber into areas around that small town, rather than starting from scratch and building from the city out.” Fifteen of those grant projects are already underway for Mediacom. “The projects are in towns that were never connected to the internet before,” Larsen said. “They had largely relied on maybe cellular or satellite service to get internet.” While the work seems cut out for them lately, the industry still faces challenges, especially with an increase in calls for more regulations on internet service or for making the internet a public utility, a potential drawback for service providers, of the increase in government funding. Mediacom specifically also faces below-average consumer rankings for the TV and internet service industry, according to the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index rankings. Many local governments have received money to build up competing internet service options. “In the Biden infrastructure package, a big undercurrent is that this money needs to go to local governments to compete with private industry,” Larsen said. “There’s a lot of people that want us to become a utility, like electric, water or gas.” In communities that have implemented this type of system already, Mediacom has seen a drop-off in subscriber numbers, which may accelerate if government funding continues to build up public internet service. The company, however, continues to develop technology to stay competitive. Being privately owned by Commisso himself allows it to stay nimble and implement available new technology as quickly as they wish. “The big advantage of being privately held is the ability to control our own destiny,” Commisso said. “Instead of focusing on

creating shareholder returns, we have been able to make substantial reinvestments in our network to stay at the forefront of the cable industry’s technology transition to 1-Gig and now 10G.” TEAM EFFORT Wireless internet is its latest developmental project, which may be especially advantageous in rural areas, where the many miles of fiber necessary for wired service are costly. Last year, Mediacom bought more than $30 million worth of wireless internet in 178 counties for this purpose, which would make its services accessible to a half-million new households. Mediacom was also recently named as an honoree in Deloitte’s U.S. Best Managed Company program. Larsen attributes that success to the

company’s technology leadership in the industry, along with the level of experience of Mediacom’s management. Its top senior management leaders have, combined, roughly 270 years of experience. Being privately owned also allows them certain advantages when it comes to decision making. “We were doing things before and at a bigger, faster pace than our peers like Comcast or Charter,” Larsen said. “We launched gigabit across our footprint in 2017, and within a 12-month span we did the whole company. It took Comcast, Charter — I don’t even know if they’re done yet — years to catch up.” Commisso’s commitment to his team is shown through Mediacom’s high retention rate — some employees are still there from when the company first started. He’s kept the headquarters in the Hudson Valley for its entire 25-plus years and employs several

family members on his management team. Mediacom’s $35 million corporate headquarters in Blooming Grove was built almost a decade ago, in 2012, helped along by the cooperation of state and local government officials and a $7.5 million incentive package. “(Commisso) didn’t know really where he was gonna buy cable systems, so he had picked New York as his corporate headquarters first and jumped on opportunities as they presented themselves,” Larsen said. “He never bought anything in New York, but he never changed where he was located.” “From our company’s humble beginnings in the basement of my home, Mediacom has grown into one of Orange County’s biggest employers with nearly 400 local employees,” Commisso said. “We have proven that you don’t need to commute all the way to New York City to find a high-quality job in an exciting and growing industry.”

Fed exec sounds mostly positive notes at CBIA event; Pitney Bowes chief concerned about CT’s economic future BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

P

ositivity was the keyword at the CBIA’s “Connecticut Economic Update” event on April 30, though a Federal Reserve executive warned, “We still have a long way to go” and the head of Pitney Bowes said the state still needs to get its financial ship in order. CBIA President and CEO Chris DiPentima opened the proceedings with, “There is no doubt that this is a really exciting time,” with about two-thirds of adults having received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine — about 50% have been fully vaccinated; roughly 60% of the jobs lost during the pandemic now recovered; 7% GDP growth in the state during the fourth quarter of 2020, which he said was the fourth highest growth during that period; and an influx of some 17,000 people and the creation of over 40,000 jobs over the past year. Also of note are the over $3 billion rainy day fund and the projected $800 million surplus by the end of this year, he said. And with the scheduled lifting of all Covid-related restrictions (except for indoor mask-wearing) on May 19, “We’ll be the first state in the Northeast to fully reopen,” DiPentima said. “How great is that?” The CBIA chief further noted that the state will likely make a nine-figure payment on its pension liabilities for the second consecutive year, and that its workforce development initiatives and reformation of its unemployment compensation system all prove that “Momentum is clearly on our side.” “What is the biggest threat to our recovery? Ourselves,” he continued. Imperatives include continuing vaccinations, safety measures and wise spending of the billions of dollars of federal aid that is coming to the state. DiPentima also reiterated opposition to the “package of costly new workforce mandates being pushed by the Labor Committee” — a reference to bills under consideration that were the subject of a letter sent to the General Assembly earlier this month by the CBIA and 43 other employer organizations. Andrew Haughwout, senior vice president and policy leader at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — whose second district includes New York state, Fairfield County, northern New Jersey and Puerto Rico — repeatedly expressed pleasant surprise at how well the region and the country as a whole have rebounded from the economic slump caused by the pandemic. He warned, however, that there are still plenty of potential pitfalls remaining — including the specter of what could hap-

pen should there be a widespread end to the loan, rent and other forbearances that have been put in place to help during the Covid era. Nevertheless, he presented plenty of reasons for cheer. U.S. GDP, which plunged by almost 10% during the second quarter of 2020, grew at an annualized rate of 6.4% in the first three months of the year, according to data released by the Commerce Department. Most economists had predicted growth of 4.3%. Further, Haughwout noted that Real GDP stood at $19.1 trillion in the first quarter, close to the $19.3 trillion reported during the pre-Covid fourth quarter of 2019. He also noted that the Fed is now predicting Real GDP for 2021 to grow by 6.5%, up from the 4.2% it forecast in December. Haughwout said good news is also being seen in unemployment. The national unemployment rate, which skyrocketed to 14.8% in April of last year, now stands at about 6%. He noted that while it took eight years for the country to recover jobs lost during the Great Recession, it has taken only 18 to 24 months to do the same post-Covid. The Fed is expecting a 4.5% unemployment rate by the end of this year. Real disposable income and real personal consumption spiked in nearly perfect opposition to each other during the worst of the pandemic, he said, as “People actually had money but they couldn’t spend it” due to store closings and other Covid concerns — a highly unusual development during such a severe economic downturn. WCBJ

“Getting involved and trying

to ensure the state has the right set of economic policies going forward is important,”

— Marc Lautenbach

Haughwout also noted that government spending, which was about 21% of the nation’s GDP before the pandemic, now stands at over 33%, largely thanks to the multiple trillion-dollar-plus relief bills being passed by Congress and signed into law. Earlier this month it was reported that the country’s budget deficit grew to a record $1.7 trillion in the first half of this fiscal year. On a year-over-year basis, as of March private sector jobs have increased only in Idaho and Utah; Connecticut and New York have, like many other states, are still down 5% to 10%.

The Nutmeg State’s state and local government employment, which was down by 8% before the pandemic, has continued to swoon; it currently is down by 15% from December 2007. As for the residents moving into Connecticut, and a slow uptick in house prices — still below both New York and the U.S. as a whole — Haughwout said that they could represent “some silver linings” for Connecticut, but added that questions remain over whether those residents have moved here permanently. » CBIA EVENT

Dutchess bankruptcy attorney sanctioned for ‘bad faith’ billing blunder BY BILL HELTZEL

She acted in bad faith and abused the process. If Miszko had not noticed the discrepancy, Morris found, the claim “would have amounted to a double payment.” Malin “has refused to acknowledge the opaque way in which she was paid her fees and expenses,” Morris said. “She has instead continued with irrelevant arguments about how a debtor can be paid.” Morris stated in a footnote that she had inadvertently signed the altered order submitted by Malin, but that does not excuse Malin’s behavior. She ordered Malin to pay back her fees to the bankruptcy estate. Miszko fired Malin and now represents himself in the bankruptcy case.

A

bankruptcy judge has sanctioned a Dutchess County attorney for charging her client twice for the same services. Andrea B. Malin of Wappingers Falls was ordered to pay back $15,146 she had collected from the client in an April 22 decision by Judge Cecelia G. Morris in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Poughkeepsie. “She willfully misled this court, the Chapter 13 trustee, the debtor and the creditors,” Morris said in the decision. “This is an abuse of the prescribed process and undermines the confidence that parties have in the court and the integrity of the attorneys.” Malin insisted in her response to a motion for sanctions that the double billing was an inadvertent mistake that happened during a time of personal stress. She had corrected the error and had not received an extra payment. For 30 years, she said, she has represented her clients “zealously and with integrity,” and she is devastated that the court would believe that she would “intentionally file a fraudulent claim or seek to engage in any type of scheme to defraud this court, a debtor or the Chapter 13 trustee.” The Chapter 13 petition was filed in 2018 by Michael Miszko Jr., a retired state trooper from Accord, Ulster County. The bankruptcy was linked to a 10-year, contentious matrimonial dispute, according to Malin’s response. She was hired in March 2019 to replace Miszko’s original bankruptcy attorney. There is no dispute about the reasonableness of Malin’s fees and expenses, Morris ruled. The problem is how she got paid. First, she proposed that she would be paid as an administrative expense in Miszko’s Chapter 13 plan, and Morris approved that method at a hearing. But the proposed order that Malin submitted to the judge to sign stated that the payment would be taken out of Miszko’s escrow funds. Then Malin filed a claim for the same fees and expenses. Miszko noticed the discrepancy and asked the bankruptcy trustee, Krista M. Preuss, why Malin was filing a claim when she had already been paid from the escrow account. The judge ruled on three issues: whether Malin had abused the bankruptcy process, violated disclosure requirements and took possession of funds without court approval. “Maybe I wasn’t as careful as I should have been,” Malin said at a March 23 hearing. “I signed it with other documents and I just didn’t catch the error.” Morris ruled that Malin acted improperly on all three issues.

Need something a little different to snack on? BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

I

f you’re not quite satisfied with the array of packaged foods offered in the United States, a new store in White Plains is upping the choices — with unique flavors of drinks, candy and snacks curated though the global travels of the owner himself. Philip Quiroz, founder of Hudson Valley Exotics, started his business in Poughkeepsie, where he now has two locations selling snacks and drinks imported from across the world. His latest shop, opened with partner Yashaas Bhagwanani, is 914 Exotics at 152 E. Post Road in White Plains. “I was born and raised in White Plains,” Quiroz said. “I first started out with one of my other partners up in Poughkeepsie. But I said to myself, I have to bring this back home, cause I’m from White Plains and Westchester, so I wanted to bring something different here to the community and

Philip Quiroz, left, and Yashaas Bhagwanani. being that I was from here, that was one of my goals. So along with the help of my teammates, we were able to do that and eventually open up.” “Initially, I always wanted to run my own business,” he said. “I went to school for international business and along with going to school I also really developed a passion for traveling. I started visiting different countries and when

I would go out to just walk around and explore, I would go to these different supermarkets, and see so many varieties of snacks and drinks that just kind of like a light bulb went off in my head.” After starting out selling to friends, family and a circle of others through an Instagram account, @914exotics, he knew he had to find a way to keep selling these items and reaching new

customers in the U.S. “I started posting online, I started taking pictures of stuff, putting on prices and people would start writing me to ask if it was for sale,” he said. “Friends and family, they really just wanted to taste all these different drinks. They wanted to buy it.” He started out bringing back rare sodas and eventually expanded his model to include the variety of snacks and candy his customers enjoy today. He also added two more members to his team, in addition to Bhagwanani: Alex Vitonera and Robin Kube, the latter of whom helps operate the company from Germany. They have contacts in each country they import from, who put the shipments together and send them to be sold to customers at locations in Poughkeepsie, the Poughkeepsie Galleria and White Plains. Eventually, the company could see a big expansion. “My plan is to expand nationwide, hit all major cities,” Quiroz

said. “But I think for right now, we’re more focused on Dutchess County and Westchester County, and developing an established business in both places, and then slowly expanding to different cities around the states.” For now, customers can visit one of the three locations, where Quiroz, Bhagwanani or their staff will help them navigate the unique offerings. “People are very intrigued,” Quiroz said. “Sometimes they get a little overwhelmed, but in a good way, because they see so many picks that they can choose from.” If you’re overwhelmed, try out some of Quiroz’s personal favorites: Honey Chili Doritos from Korea or Maynard’s Cherry Blasters gummies from Canada. If you’re looking for a real rarity, the White Peach Fanta from Japan — Quiroz’s top pick — was recently discontinued, and he will be receiving its last shipments in the next few weeks. Delivery from 914 Exotics is also available through UberEats.

HUDSON VALLEY

GREETINGS

Welcome to our new Hudson Valley section. We’ve always written about the happenings — big and small — in the valley. We tripped over gopher holes on farmland along Route 44 as developer Joseph Kirchhoff outlined his plans to create what would become Eastdale Village Town Center. We also walked on a blustery day on a hill above the Hudson River as developer Martin Berger explained his vision for turning the Hudson River State Hospital property into a live-work-play campus. We trudged in borrowed boots through the rich black earth of Cheryl Rogowski’s farm in Pine Island to see that root vegetables can grow all winter long in plastic sheathed Quonset huts. We enjoyed the solitude of the Chuang Yen Monastery in Kent and the statue of Buddha — reportedly the largest in the Western Hemisphere at 37 feet in height. We were even on the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge with Fred Schaeffer, walking gingerly over rusted, steel mesh plates and looking (happily without vertigo) below into the maw of the Hudson 212 feet below. Schaeffer had the foresight and fortitude to envision a great linear park that would be trod upon by thousands and known as the Walkway Over the Hudson. We know the Hudson Valley. We will continue to serve as a trustworthy source of news for small business as well as the booming construction industry and to let readers know of how the Hudson Valley is undergoing momentous changes. Now with this new dedicated section, we want readers — longtime and new — to join us in our weekly journey covering the impactful changes leading to a new future. Please, read on. — Bob Rozycki

HUDSON VALLEY HVEDC leader Michael Oates sees bright regional prospects BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

ny long-lasting economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Hudson Valley may not be as devastating nor as long-lasting as some have feared, based on what Michael Oates, president and CEO of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation (HVEDC) has been hearing and observing. “There’s an absolute explosion of interest in the valley and there’s been a huge exodus of people out of New York City and a great deal have moved into the Hudson Valley region,” Oates told the Business Journal when asked about various signs of recovery from Covid, such as trends in real estate. “This is all great on the residential side. We still as a region need to have a vibrant New York City and it’s critically important to the long-term benefit of the Hudson Valley. We can’t be incredibly strong and have a weak New York City so there has to be a balance and stabilization,” Oates said. “On the commercial side we are seeing a tremendous amount of activity. I think there are investors that have been on the sidelines for the last year looking for opportunities and now that they see a pathway to the end of the pandemic, obviously it’s still going to take some time, they’re starting to make those investments.” Oates said the more people are vaccinated as quickly as possible the sooner and faster the rebound from Covid can move forward. He described the Hudson Valley housing market as being “on fire,” a lot of activity in the product distribution sector, strong activity in health care, a picking up of activity in the hospitality sector, growing interest in film production and anticipation of renewed tourism activity this summer in addition to the phased opening of Legoland. Oates said the companies that have weathered the storm are going to find themselves in good financial positions in the coming months and they’ll want to grow and the Hudson Valley is one of the places they’ll be looking to do it. Oates said that a lot of real estate developers who have previously overlooked the Hudson Valley or whose interest in the region ended at Westchester now are looking farther north and west. “That trend has been happening even before Covid hit. I was on a call earlier

today talking about a major 800-acre property in Ulster County, a major development project that would have tens of millions of dollars of investment and hundreds of jobs created,” Oates said. “It’s a group that is outside of the region and has done work in New York state and now they’re looking at a great opportunity that’s presenting itself in the Hudson Valley.” Oates noted that Simone Development Cos., well known in Westchester real estate circles, has made investments in the area of New York Stewart International Airport just outside of Newburgh. “We’re starting to see major players finding smart opportunities,” Oates said. “A lot of that started with our health care sector. Groups like Montefiore, Westchester Medical, have all looked at the Hudson Valley and northern Hudson Valley as growth opportunities.” Oates expects to see more distribution center warehousing developed in the Hudson Valley following in Amazon’s footsteps with its new facility near Stewart Airport and another planned for Dutchess County. “As we start to see that investment from Amazon into the Hudson Valley I think it’s going to spur additional distribution opportunities and warehousing as well. The world has become a home delivery mindset and a lot of retail has moved to companies like Amazon and there’s a need to get those products delivered. This corridor is a very important corridor for their growth in this part of the country.” Oates lauded the Port Authority’s latest plan to try to attract new airline traffic to Stewart and promote its use by passengers, saying that the time has come for the airport to become what so many people had hoped it could become. “We’ve had some starts and stops over the years. When numbers started rising, 9/11 hit. When numbers started rising again at the airport we had the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009 and now, obviously, the pandemic has impacted air travel,” Oates said. Oates said that as an organization the HVEDC has been successful in creating programming that served its members during the pandemic by utilizing online technology. “The reality is that people do want to get together in person. I think over the coming months we’re going to see a WCBJ

hybrid model of smaller in-person participation with some sort of online presence as well. The market will dictate what the future holds,” Oates said. “If people are comfortable and the market has moved back to fully in-person presentations we’ll be there along with those trends. If people want a hybrid model I think we can provide that to them in a very effective way.” Oates said that some of the online events produced by HVEDC during the pandemic brought in from 10,000 to 40,000 participants. “You can’t get those numbers in an in-person presentation so if we can provide meaningful content to a larger audience by having a hybrid model I think that’s what we’ll continue to look to do,” Oates said. He pointed out that as an organization, HVEDC works on both sides of the political aisle and delves into serious issues such as housing, economics and

jobs. “We talk about investments; we talk about jobs. We work with county executives down to town supervisors, mayors, planning board, all the way up through state government from our assembly members, our senate members, our governor’s office and, obviously, on the federal side,” Oates said. “So, our job is to find people, elected officials, that are thinking about the economics, that are trying to educate themselves, that are trying to be proactive in finding solutions and I think we’ve got a good mix on both sides of the aisle that are committed to trying to provide opportunities for people. Ultimately, that’s the name of the game.”

those recommendations are included in the comprehensive plan and later adopted in some fashion in the zoning.” Amazon’s warehouse is positioned to make the most of its proximity to New York Stewart International Airport, which has been short on passenger flights but saw an average of 3 million to 5 million tons of cargo a month being shipped out of the airport last year.

preparation of a Generic Environmental Impact Statement that would: • establish environmental thresholds for future projects; • amend the town’s zoning code to include “visionary zoning” for the corridor to secure federal and state infrastructure funding; • develop site marketing materials to help build and enhance relationships with site selectors and commercial Realtors; and • tidentify companies in New York City and other regional locations in the Northeast that could potentially connect to the targeted sectors in the town. The study does not include any parcels within the village of Montgomery’s boundary. Maureen Halahan, president and CEO of the Orange County Partnership, recommended that the town of Montgomery maintain and protect its rural/agricultural areas and to create two economic development zones — one around the airport and another on 17K — which will permit commercial development. “We did recommend that warehousing is allowed around the airport as of right and in meeting performance standards on the 17K corridor … we recommended they do away with their spot, strip and split zoning, and to list the business types in favor of full parcel zoning and a simplified list of permitted land uses,” Halahan said. “It’s up to the town board to ensure

ocation, location, location is the mantra of Amazon, which is building its newest fulfillment center a stone’s throw from the entrance to New York Stewart International Airport. The 1 million-plus-square-foot facility, the largest warehouse in Orange County, is scheduled to be completed and open in time for the 2021 holiday shopping season. The $85 million project is on 190 acres at the intersection of Routes 17K and 747 in the town of Montgomery. (Route 747 was built in 2007 to connect the airport to Interstate 84.) Across the river in East Fishkill, Amazon was approved to build a 631,000-squarefoot warehouse on the former IBM West Campus on Route 52. For the Montgomery warehouse, the town signed a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement of $20.5 million over the next 15 years with Amazon. Initially, the company’s tax incentive called for zero dollars in the PILOT’s first five years, raising a hue and cry from some elected officials and residents; it was subsequently renegotiated to a $2.7 million payment during the first five years. Montgomery expects to see about $25 million in payments over that 15-year period. Orange County’s Office of Economic Development expects to see an exponential return of $475 million on its investment, according to OCED director Bill Fioravanti. The PILOT agreement also calls for 85 percent of labor used on the job to be local. Laborers Local 17 in Newburgh has nearly 1,000 members living in the vicinity of the construction site. The windowless giant, also one of Amazon’s largest warehouses, joins at least 75 other fulfillment centers around the country. Its Montgomery location expects to employ 800 to 1,000 workers once construction is completed. Originally dubbed Project Sailfish, Montgomery residents learned in July 2020 that the project was, in fact, an Amazon fulfillment center. With the facility to be open 24/7 and a parking lot for 1,200 cars and tractor-trailers, residents say the noise and dust from the construction is having a negative effect on Montgomery’s way of life. In January, Montgomery’s Industrial Development Agency unveiled a comprehensive study of the Route 17K corridor, a six-month project geared toward engaging the public to help strike a balance between the town’s economic development while preserving its quality of life.

HUDSON VALLEY Amy’s Kitchen expects to ramp up construction by June BY KATHY KAHN

A

my’s Kitchen, the organic food company that was on track to open a $95 million manufacturing facility on Route 17M in Goshen, is one Hudson Valley business that was temporarily derailed by the pandemic. The proposed 389,000-square-foot frozen food processing plant had its official groundbreaking ceremony two years ago and was expected to open next month. “Amy’s Kitchen, New York state and Orange County are a recipe for success. It’s clear that Amy’s Kitchen recognizes that Goshen is the perfect kitchen to start cooking up their top-notch products and major economic development in the Hudson Valley, and I’m so thrilled to see years of planning and hard work come together here with the groundbreaking of this new plant,” U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) told officials that attended the 2018 ceremony. “I’ve fiercely supported Amy’s Kitchen throughout this process because I knew the company and Goshen were a microwavable match made in heaven and the perfect serving of meaningful economic development in the Hudson Valley. With shovels officially in the ground on the company’s brand-new facility in Goshen, we’re one major step closer to serving up hundreds of good-paying jobs in the region.” Andy Berliner, CEO and co-founder of Amy’s Kitchen, said: “From the very beginning, Senator Schumer has been very supportive of Amy’s coming to Goshen. Not only has he helped us navigate the complex regulatory environment locally, but even went to the trouble of arranging the opportunity for us to meet local farmers in the area to discuss how we can source organic ingredients for our new facility and chaired the meeting personally. We are so excited that, with Senator Schumer’s help, we now have the necessary approvals to begin building our kitchen in Goshen.” To date, much of the infrastructure, including roadwork, has already been accomplished. Water for the project is being supplied by the city of Middletown. The town of Goshen expects Amy’s Kitchen to start construction next month and be ready to open its doors by mid2022, if not sooner. New York state cooked up some tasty subsidies for Amy’s to locate its frozen food distribution center in the town, offering up to $6.8 million in performance-based incentives. Empire State

New York state cooked up some tasty subsidies for Amy’s to locate its frozen food distribution center in the town, offering up to $6.8 million in performance-based incentives. Empire State Development allowed up to $5.8 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for job creation and a $1 million JOBS NOW grant.”

Development allowed up to $5.8 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for job creation and a $1 million JOBS NOW grant. In addition, the New York State Power Authority will kick in 1.2 megawatts of low-cost power under the ReCharge New York program, as well as giving a low-cost power application to the new facility. Amy’s Kitchen was founded by Andy and Rachel Berliner, who began baking their gluten-free vegetable pot pies in 1986 when their daughter, Amy, who bears the company’s signature name, was born. Both Berliners had a background in the food industry — Rachel in organic farming and Andy in marketing. Their vegetable pies went over so well with family members and friends that it inspired the couple to expand on the idea of creating take-out organic food in their Petaluma, California community. In 1988, the Berliners opened their first take-out kitchen. Today, the privately held company produces more than 240 different selections of frozen, non-GMO organic foods and is estimated to earn more than $500 million a year in sales.

The company had two food processing plants, one in Santa Rosa, California, and another in Medford, Oregon. The company provides free health care for its workers in both locations. The insular family doesn’t grant many interviews, but the couple had one with CBS back in 2017 and spoke about how they met while both were on a spiritual retreat in India. Perhaps that is what inspired the couple to set aside 60 acres of the 200-acre parcel in Goshen to build an outdoor gathering space for members for Science of the Soul, a group that hails from India. The Berliners’ desire to build a gathering place for the faith-based movement reportedly held up final approval plans for several months. The organic food industry has grown into a $47 billion a year business, but most credit that niche market’s rise in popularity to Amy’s Kitchen, which boasts more than 250 all-organic, 100 percent GMOfree frozen food offerings. The company employs more than 2,600 workers in the United States and is expected to produce more than 650 jobs when its manufacturing facility opens in Goshen.

City Winery Hudson Valley is the first “countrified” destination that music producer Michael Dorf has chosen to locate one of his city-centric wine/music entertainment venues. This most recent venture in Orange County’s Montgomery is attracting visitors from across the tristate area. The music producer, who discovered a love for turning grapes into wine while visiting California, turned his love of the art into a successful

multiuse entertainment destination. On the banks of the Wallkill River, City Winery Hudson Valley hosted its first Kentucky Derby Day on May 1. Those who came dressed for the event brought the fashion-charged atmosphere of Churchill Downs to the county’s horse country. Women took the opportunity to celebrate in the derby’s signature style and all racing lovers toasted the day with the requisite mint juleps. The 18th century factory found the ultimate patron in Dorf, who fell in love with the building, its grounds and its his-

tory, as well as the array of possibilities and gorgeous views of the Wallkill offered. Located along the path of the Hudson Valley Wine Trail, it has given wine and music lovers ample reason to find their way to City Winery Hudson Valley’s historic gates on Factory Street. Opening in June 2020 – which caused a kerfuffle for all who were already on board and preparing for a March 2020 opening – it nonetheless defied the pandemic and welcomed those starved for wine, music and fresh country air. – Kathy Kahn

HUDSON VALLEY Building Legoland in Goshen brick by brick BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he Legoland New York Resort in Goshen plans to open this summer, although it has not yet set a firm opening date. The resort originally had intended to open on July 4, 2020, but that had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Goshen attraction will be the ninth Legoland worldwide and the third in the U.S. to invite visitors to suspend reality and enter a world where everything is made from tiny interlocking plastic bricks. Owned by British-based Merlin Entertainments, the Goshen resort will be joining Legolands in California, Florida, Denmark, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. Legoland theme parks and resorts also are under development in Korea and China. Last November, the Goshen Planning Board gave approval for a phased opening to take place in view of the pandemic’s delays and added safety requirements. Certificates of occupancy were to be issued to allow certain sections of the resort to begin public operations before others. The Legoland New York Resort is a $500 million project on a 523-acre parcel off

Route 17. The theme park itself is to occupy about 150 acres of the site. Another 150 acres is due to be preserved as a permanent buffer around the resort. Merlin Entertainments, which operates more than 130 entertainment sites, 19 hotels and six holiday villages in 25 countries across four continents, had estimated that it hosted 67 million people a year and employed 28,000 people. Merlin had said the Legoland New York Resort could attract 10,000 to 20,000 daily visitors during peak season and create 500 full-time jobs and 800 part-time jobs once it opens. The hotel at the site will have 250 rooms. Legoland recently invited news media representatives to visit the construction site. Rides such as the Dragon, which is the park’s roller coaster designed to be welcoming for younger children, were sent on test runs without passengers. When completed, the Legoland New York Resort will have seven themed lands: • Brick Street, leading to the Legoland New York Experience where miniatures of iconic buildings have been created in Lego brick style; • Bricktopia, where guests can work with experienced Lego builders and also go

CEO Marc Lautenbach Pitney chief: ‘Stay flexible’ DiPentima interviewed Pitney Bowes President and CEO Marc Lautenbach about not just the Stamford company’s challenges pre- and post-pandemic, but also about the current and future state of Connecticut’s business economy. Noting that Pitney was declared an essential business by the Lamont administration last spring, Lautenbach said that once his firm had initial issues such as employee safety and how the day-to-day would change in place, “the orientation changed to coming out of this terrible, terrible period of time a stronger company.”

Pitney turned 100 last year, Lautenbach said, pointing out the “certain symmetry” involved: The company essentially began at the end of the 1918-1920 Spanish flu pandemic and marked its anniversary in the midst of another. “Months of dislocation are always opportunities,” he said. To that end, Pitney shored up its corporate citizenship efforts by making what he called “a small contribution” to Stamford Hospital when it was running short of PPE. In addition, when last summer’s series of riots broke out around the country, Pitney organized a group of companies, including WCBJ

Xerox and Synchrony, to provide support for a number of organizations devoted to making changes for those with disadvantaged backgrounds; those included the Fairfield County Community Foundation. Lautenbach said the Stamford company has long believed that in order to successfully enjoy a long future, they must understand why their investors, customers and employees are drawn to them, as well as why a given populace “allows you the license to operate in their various communities. “You have to earn and re-earn their business,” he said. Such efforts, he added, create long-term value for shareholders and, “It’s just the right thing to do.” Shortly after Lautenbach was named head of the company in 2012, he said, a decision needed to be made as to whether it would remain in Stamford. “The war for companies to domicile themselves in particular states, and even countries, is a pretty intense war,” he said, saying that New York, Ohio and Florida had all made overtures to Pitney. Ultimately, he said, once the economics of one place versus another are assessed, it comes down to talent, where Connecticut and Stamford proved themselves. “The talent dynamic was the one that weighed most heavily” in the decision to remain here, he said. The company currently expects

to record its fifth straight year of profit, Lautenbach said, having successfully pivoted into e-commerce logistics and shipping, which he said now makes up over 50% of its revenues. He noted that the percentage of total retail purchases made over the internet was 17% before the pandemic, with that number rising to 27% last year. Challenges to Connecticut’s economy remain much the same, even with the mostly buoyant outlook most observers have, Lautenbach said. He cited the state’s ongoing problems with pension debt — “I give the current governor credit for trying to step into it” — and that the administration, General Assembly, and business at large all had a role to play. “Getting involved and trying to ensure the state has the right set of economic policies going forward is important,” Lautenbach said, pointing out the large number of businesses — including Oracle, Palantir and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise — that have left California over the past few years “because of fiscal policy,” among other factors. “State government and local government make a big difference,” he added. As for the future of working at home, in an office, or both, Lautenbach said: “It’s a good time to open our imaginations. Those companies and those states that are most facile take advantage of these opportunities. My advice is to stay flexible.”

Yonkers sees the bright side of citywide solar projects

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

C

ommunity Solar has come to Yonkers with the April 29 launch of five projects to create electric generation facilities on buildings in Robert Martin Co.’s South Westchester Executive Park. The city, nonprofits Sustainable Westchester and Groundwork Hudson Valley, G&S Solar and Robert Martin have joined to bring the installations to fruition. The effort also will open up the availability of solar-generated electricity to residents of the city’s Municipal Housing Authority. The initiative involves creating five solar panel installations by G&S Solar on buildings owned by Robert Martin in the

Executive Boulevard area. The installations are to be part of the Community Solar program, which offers electric users who participate up to 10% off their monthly bills. “Renewable energy sources like solar continue to be on the rise in Yonkers and this Community Solar project leverages the city’s commitment to further greening our energy supply,” Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said during an event at the site of the first installations. “We all know that solar is a great renewal energy option for many homeowners. But for those who live in apartments or in homes that are shaded, solar panels might not be an option for them. Community Solar provides access to solar without having to install panels on your property.

“Instead what we are doing is we will provide solar panels that will be installed here on Executive Boulevard thanks to G&S Solar and, of course, Robert Martin Company. Any residents who pay their own electricity bill can now subscribe to a solar farm ... and receive credits on their electric bill every month for this clean energy that is produced here. This includes renters and co-op owners.” Yonkers City Councilman John Rubbo said, “This is a great way to reduce the electrical cost to our residents, it’s a great way to continue to move toward sustainable energy.” “Community Solar makes the benefits of solar available to everyone, not just to homeowners who can afford solar installations on their own homes,” explained Nina Orville, executive director FCBJ

Tech tips for adapting your business in a hybrid era BY MICHAEL LEBLANC

M

ost companies discovered something during Covid, namely that many of us can be quite productive working from home (WFH). As things get back to normal (whatever that means), what remote options will your company allow and what are the technology implications? A survey by the Pew Research Center (“How the Coronavirus Outbreak Has — and Hasn’t — Changed the Way Americans Work” Pew Research Center, Washington D.C., Dec. 9, 2020) showed some very interesting facts about working from home: • 89% of respondents said they preferred to work from home instead of the office. • 81% use video conferencing tools at least some of the time, and they reported less “Zoom fatigue” than expected. • 57% use an instant messaging platform like Slack or Google Chat.

What is your strategy/policy for deciding where workers should do their jobs? Given that most offices are back open (at least partially and often fully), you must have had to ponder your options. The following are some technology tips to ensure your workers are productive no matter where they (and you) end up working. Don’t Send Customers to Voicemail! It’s critical to keep in mind your customers’ needs, so they don’t suffer because of choices you make on behalf of your staff. As the pandemic unfolded, we came across dozens of companies where incoming calls for sales and customer service were being sent to a voicemail box, to be returned later. This is a sure way to let your customers (and prospective customers) know you don’t care. Rather, consider setting up physical desk phones at home, or computer- or cellphone-based “softphones” (an extension on your computer or in your pocket). It allows staff to answer and make calls from anywhere,

using the office phone system and main number. Most cloud-based service providers offer this, and usually for free, for each office extension user. For example, we serve a call center that takes all of the billing calls for a hospital. During Covid, the agents have been able to work seamlessly from home, answering thousands of patient calls per day. The most textbook example of softphone use is a pediatrician who gets a call at 8 p.m. from a worried mom who selected the “emergency” option from the office menu. If the doctor uses his cellphone app, the mom is never interacting with him via his personal cellphone number. And when he calls her back, she will see the office number, not his personal number. Then the next time she calls, she will still be calling the office. Find-Me, Follow-Me Most of today’s better phone systems offer a way to ensure calls gracefully find you, no matter where you are. Customers won’t know where you are, only that you

answer when they call. Methods we use are “Simultaneous Ring” (ringing several extensions and a cellphone at the same time) and “Call Cascading” (ringing the first extension, then the second one, then a cellphone, if needed). You can usually also schedule these follow-me methods based on your status (“available”, “away”, “working from home”) or by the time of day (business hours vs. after hours). It’s convenient and avoids bothering you when you don’t want calls. Video Calling/Screen Sharing We at CCi Voice have allowed (and even encouraged) working from home since 2005. It’s helped us find and retain better employees. However, we recently discovered the wonder of video calling like everyone else and it’s become an indispensable part of our business day. Be sure you have an easy-to-use tool available to your staff that allows faceto-face communication with only a click or two, so you don’t become socially disconnected (one of the biggest work» TECH TIPS

SMARTER BUILDINGS REENERGIZE TENANT EXPERIENCES IF YOU DON’T OWN THE CONNECTIVITY, YOUR BUILDING IS NOT AS SMART AS YOU THINK! As buildings across the region prepare to reopen, building operators and facility managers are deploying technology, giving them the opportunity to streamline systems, which also serves as an opportunity to address the new connectivity needs of their tenants. With increased working from home and heavy use of video conferencing, fiber-based connections with symmetrical upload speeds are more important than ever to ensure everyone is able to connect and communicate. As the Internet of Things (IoT) increasingly works its way into the CRE market, it is essential to review the systems that will ensue everything within the building is truly connected and efficiently utilizing the available infrastructure, so companies and their employees can return to their workplaces with confidence, and eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks, whether they are performance or budgets.

need them the most. Abe Naparstek, chief operating officer of G&S Solar, said his company in cooperation with other organizations intends to execute a number of solar projects across Westchester. “We have a portfolio of about 50 projects that are ready to build and to move forward, which represents about 25 megawatts of deals,” Naparstek said. “Beyond that, there’s another 25 megawatts of projects in the pipeline that if the Community Solar credit is extended, will also move forward.” In his remarks, Greg Berger, president of Robert Martin Co., referred to comments attributed to famed inventor Thomas Alva Edison in 1931. “I put my money on the sun and solar energy,” Berger quoted Edison as telling his friends automobile magnate Henry Ford and tire manufacturer Harvey Firestone. “What a great source of power,” Berger quoted Edison as saying. Berger noted that 90 years later the collective partnership in Yonkers is realizing Edison’s dream to harness the sun’s limitless, clean power. “Robert Martin is excited and proud to be part of this venture and we look forward to help light the way towards 18

Yonkers’ continuing economic revitalization with more critical solar installations in Yonkers and all over Westchester County,” Berger said. “Without this affordable green energy, our tenants would be at a loss,” said Wilson Kimball, president and CEO of the Municipal Housing Authority of the City of Yonkers. “Having a green sustainable energy alternative is incredibly valuable to families and seniors who are literally concerned about the next dollar and the next five dollars that they spend.” Groundwork Hudson Valley will be working to educate residents about the Community Solar program and help them enroll to receive its benefits. Teenager Julian Ortiz, who is part of Groundwork Hudson Valley’s Green Team and will be working on the enrollment effort, said, “It’s great to see this change for the future. I think Community Solar is great. It provides what you need. It provides energy for the grid and savings.” The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) awarded nearly $695,000 in incentives through its NY-Sun program for the five new Yonkers installations.

from-home complaints). Another key component of collaboration is screen sharing. “Hey, come look at my screen,” is natural when two workers sit within 10 feet of each other. It can be similarly quick and easy using a video-screen-sharing app like Zoom or LogMeIn. We use Sangoma Meet (meet. sangoma.com), which is currently free and allows users to share individual applications or their entire screen with a single coworker or a team of employees and customers on a call. This will encourage faster buy-in among team members if they can see a shared image. But it has to be quick and easy or employees won’t use it! A Good Quality Laptop One issue we faced early on was the variability and often poor quality of our employees’ home computers. Audio and video apps can be affected by old or outdated computers. Newer processors, with more and faster RAM can greatly enhance the sound and video quality. Most folks at home didn’t even have a camera and microphone before Covid. A nice Lenovo or Dell can be priced from $450 on the lower end, to $750 for a higher-end model, making all the difference for your customers’ experience. Consider a Text-Chat App for Staff (and Customers) If your staff is relatively younger,

they are probably anti-telephone when it comes to day-to-day communications. They have been texting friends since they were kids. The same thing applies to email. Many companies have a distribution email for staff to email each other as a group, or for customers to reach them (e.g., support@MyCompany.com or staff@ABC.com). The use of a texting app like Slack, Microsoft Teams or our tools from Sangoma are better at reducing clutter. You’ll only get messages about the project you are working on, and not ALL messages hitting your company. Let us know if you need help sorting through your options and making hybrid (WFH or in the office) work for your business. This will help you be the most flexible and keep attracting the best talent, while maintaining high-quality customer service.

Good Things MARKETING AGENCY NAMED FINALIST IN PRSA SILVER ANVIL AWARDS Adams & Knight in Avon, an integrated marketing agency in New England, was recently named a finalist in the Public Relations Society of America’s (PRSA) 2021 Silver Anvil Awards, honoring outstanding strategic public relations programs that meet the highest standards of performance in the profession. The agency was recognized for its results-generating marketing campaign, “So Good To See You, Connecticut,” together with its client the Connecticut Office of Tourism (COT). The “So Good To See You, Connecticut” campaign was developed to promote safe travel experiences in Connecticut and drive revenue to state tourism businesses amid the state’s “reopening” in summer/fall 2020. In less than two months, Adams & Knight and COT planned and executed an over $1 million research-based, integrated marketing campaign. Focused on messages about safety and proximity — two key traveler priorities—the campaign featured more than 1,500 Connecticut tourism businesses and experiences and welcomed targeted Northeast consumers to see the state from a fresh perspective. The campaign garnered more than 41.4 million TV/video views, 87 million social media impressions and over 500 earned media placements, as well as generating more than 795,000 clicks to CTvisit.com—helping the site greatly exceed the performance of all other New England state tourism websites during the campaign period. Most importantly, the latest post-campaign research revealed that those who saw the campaign showed a 90% increase in interest in visiting Connecticut in the next two years and a 122% increase in intent to visit in the next 12 months. According to GPS tracking, 10% of those who saw the digital videos or visited the website actually visited Connecticut tourism businesses within the campaign period. “We are honored to be recognized by the PRSA for a research-based, results-generating campaign that not only exceeded marketing goals, but also drove immediate visitation to Connecticut tourism businesses during a challenging time,” said Jill Adams, CEO/principal, Adams & Knight.

PARTNERSHIP TO HELP VACCINATE MEMBERS OF HISPANIC COMMUNITY Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains has stepped up to help ensure that all eligible people in the community who want the Covid-19 vaccine can receive it, including those who are medically underserved. To enhance accessibility, Burke and El Centro Hispano, a White Plains not-for-profit organization serving the needs of the Hispanic population in Westchester County, have teamed up to provide a steady source of vaccines to clients of the organization. To facilitate vaccine distribution, Burke set aside appointment times, which staff at El Centro Hispano filled for their community members who do not have access to a computer for registration or who do not speak proficient English. The program to date has resulted in 166 clients of El Centro Hispano receiving vaccinations through Burke.

Good Things GREYSTONE PROGRAMS FINISHES CHALLENGING YEAR It’s been a long harrowing year for health care professionals like Greystone Programs’ Director of Nursing Kim Mulpeter, who heads a team charged with keeping more than 300 staff and 102 residents of Greystone’s 16 community residences safe from Covid-19. Greystone Programs provides services and life-enriching opportunities for children, adults and families living with autism and other developmental disabilities in a five-county region of the Hudson Valley. “We’re very pleased with the outcomes so far,” said Mulpeter. “Although we’ve had incidences of both staff and residents contracting the disease, we’ve

had no serious complications and, thankfully, no deaths.” Greystone Programs CEO Skip Pryce praised the work of Mulpeter and the team of dedicated professionals, “Their work has been nothing short of draining and difficult over this past year. I’m proud of the work they’ve done,” he said of the challenges faced in staffing and caring for autistic and developmentally disabled individuals in residences located throughout Dutchess, Ulster and Orange counties. He also thanked the community philanthropic institutions for donating funds to the Hopewell Junction-based nonprofit to help offset costs.

NATIONAL LAW FIRM OPENS OFFICE IN WESTCHESTER Headquartered in Woodbury, New York, Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck LLP (KDV), a national law firm serving insurance and business communities in a number of key practice areas, recently announced that it is expanding its presence in the New York metropolitan area with the opening of an office in Westchester, its fourth office in the Northeast. The move strengthens KDV’s ability to represent the robust business and insurance community in Westchester County and Connecticut and respond to an evolving office environment stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic. With 12 offices nationwide and on Long Island and in the metro-New York City and New Jersey area, KDV has numerous clients located in Westchester and Connecticut and attorneys who live in the region. Michael L. Zigelman and

Mary Jo Barry, co-managing partners of the New York City office, will co-manage the Westchester County office as well. Attorneys and staff from New York will utilize the Westchester office for client meetings and case preparation. Martin Flannery, senior counsel, will be based in Westchester. “With all the talk of reducing office space for a post-pandemic hybrid workforce, while this may seem counterintuitive, we believe the pandemic has demonstrated the need to be closer to where our clients and attorneys reside,” said Zigelman. “An office in Westchester allows us to better serve our clients who live and work in Westchester County and Connecticut who are more comfortable with shorter commuting times….” KDV’s new office is located at 1025 Westchester Ave., Suite 315, White Plains.

17 Students, including six incarcerated men, earned college credit.

Pace University’s Criminal Justice Department in Pleasantville and Valhalla joined with the Westchester County Department of Correction (WCDOC) to complete an Inside-Out course where Pace students learned in tandem with incarcerated students. This was one of the very few Inside-Out programs able to operate nationally during the pandemic. Students participated virtually in a criminal justice course earning all participants three college credits for their successful completion. Six inside students from the county jail and 11 outside students from Pace University graduated April 27. The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, based at Temple University, brings

together incarcerated students and campus-based students for a semester-long learning experience. There are more than 150 colleges and universities that participate in the program around the world. Kimberly Collica-Cox, Ph.D., a criminal justice professor at Pace University, became an Inside-Out instructor last year for courses that maintain a focus on theories of crime and crime typologies, as well as criminal justice policy. Typically, Pace students take this course at the jail alongside incarcerated men and women. This year, however, the pandemic necessitated the use of innovate tools to maintain course integrity, while preserving the safety and health of all students.

While the majority of correctional institutions do not allow for the use of internet-based services, the WCDOC continues to be a leader in correctional programming and creative learning practices by allowing for the use of technology, according to Collica-Cox. “The impact of education goes beyond the walls of incarceration,” said Nory Padilla, irst deputy commissioner, Westchester County Department of Correction. “Education has profound life-changing benefits particularly for the incarcerated population. WCDOC is committed to rehabilitation and we welcome the opportunity to partner with Pace University and Dr. Collica-Cox….”

inspirational words layered on top are there to bring a smile to those that pass by.

WESTCHESTER’S WORKFORCE: EYES ON THE FUTURE As COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the country’s business landscape, Westchester County faced its own challenges. With thousands losing their jobs, and businesses of all sizes struggling to stay afloat, the Westchester County Office of Economic Development worked diligently to identify the greatest needs and create a strategy to help its businesses and nonprofits. Westchester County is home to almost 50,000 businesses and historically has been known for its larger businesses: IBM, Pepsi, Heineken, Regeneron, Danone and Mastercard.

Harrison-based Sapience Therapeutics, Inc., develops therapeutics to address difficult-to-treat cancers.

But Westchester’s smaller businesses are a significant source of strength and promise for the future. Many have shown resilience during the pandemic, continuing to grow and expand. MediSprout, a telehealth company in White Plains, Sapience Therapeutics, an oncology startup based in Harrison, and Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI), an advanced manufacturing company in Hawthorne call Westchester home. PTI recently increased its footprint in the County and now occupies 28,000 square feet at 8 Skyline Drive, nearly four times the size of its original offices in Tuckahoe. Last fall, Clarapath, a medical robotics company, relocated from New York City to Hawthorne, signing a lease for 7,000 square feet, and in 2019, Bantam Tools, which manufactures desktop milling machines used to make printed circuit boards and aluminum parts, relocated to Peekskill from Berkeley, CA, because Westchester offered an affordable alternative. In order for companies such as these to succeed, they need a diverse, well-trained workforce. And that’s where the Office of Economic Development comes in.

SETTING THE STRATEGY

PROVIDING THE TOOLS

Throughout the pandemic, as the County found ways to support area businesses through grants, educational webinars, unique program offerings and the like, Westchester County Executive George Latimer was already looking ahead and putting into motion the Westchester County Economic Development Strategy, Recovery and Implementation plan. This strategy focuses on promoting the fastest growing sectors in our County and spurring workforce development.

As part of the sector-based strategy, the Office of Economic Development has created Industry Desks to support businesses in these key industries. These one-stop interfaces will identify trends and address the needs of the existing businesses in the County, as well as promote Westchester as an optimal location for businesses looking to relocate here.

Prior to 2020, it had been years since the County had a real, planned strategy supporting workforce development. After researching the matter, the Office of Economic Development identified where our human and capital resources should be directed in order to expand our workforce, and found four critical areas to prioritize: biotech, advanced manufacturing, financial technology (more commonly known as fintech) and clean energy.

Each Industry Desk is staffed by the Office of Economic Development and supported by a dedicated Task Force comprised of local professionals and other stakeholders that have experience and expertise in that specific sector, and will serve as a resource providing support, mentorship as well as insight into workforce needs, real estate issues, financing advice and more. The Biosciences and Advanced Manufacturing Industry Desks are already up and running, with FinTech and Clean Energy to follow in the coming months. These Desks, and their corresponding Task Forces, are helping the Office of Economic Development identify the biggest issues impacting these various sectors.

This year the County has been pushing to grow these sectors, which have two key elements that will positively impact Westchester’s corporate landscape: good paying jobs and resiliency. Businesses in these sectors not only survived, but thrived, during the health crisis.

For example, when recently speaking with established advanced manufacturers in our County, we quickly discovered a workforce development issue: there is a strong need for engineers and machinists, our team jumped into action and we are working on a solution to address this issue alongside our partners throughout the County to help build out the ecosystem.

The Office of Economic Development’s sector-focused strategy makes us better positioned to help our existing companies continue to grow and expand, while also attracting new businesses to the County. George Latimer Westchester County Executive

SUPPORTING THE FUTURE Element 46, the County’s official business incubator, recently closed the call for applications for its third cohort. For the first time, priority consideration was given to businesses in these four key sectors. Over the coming months, startups chosen to participate in the Element 46 program will be matched with hand-picked mentors who are leaders in technology, finance, business strategy, venture capital, marketing or other key areas. Participants will also gain access to a group of dedicated professional service providers, including accountants and IP attorneys, who provide pro bono services to cohort members. This year the program will also include its first ever “Pitch Day” which will enable participants to present their businesses to investors from across the tri-state region. In February of this year, the Westchester County Biosciences Accelerator (WCBA) announced its second cohort of emerging biosciences ventures invited to participate in the annual program. Twelve ventures were chosen to participate in the six-monthlong program that features entrepreneurship education, coaching and mentoring, to develop fundable business plans and expand the biosciences community in Westchester. Ventures are supported by experienced entrepreneur coaches and receive customized business networking introductions to business professionals to help advance their early-stage ventures. Members of the WCBA’s third cohort will join the Accelerator for Biosciences in Connecticut cohort for virtual pitch days on June 2 and 3 to share their exceptional ventures.

SUPPORTING OUR BUSINESS & NONPROFIT COMMUNITY As “The Catalyst” for economic growth and vitality, Westchester County’s Office of Economic Development has created a suite of innovative programs and resources to help our business and nonprofit communities recover from the health crisis. Westchester County Business FIRST: Financial Investments for Recovery and a Sustainable Tomorrow is an initiative that provides immediate support and financial assistance to entrepreneurs, businesses and nonprofits in the County that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some examples of these programs include: Catalyst Volunteer Program:

Ellen Prior and Mark Morganelli from Jazz Forum Arts (center), recipients of a Business FIRST Grant with Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Bridget Gibbons, Westchester County’s Director of Economic Development

The County has recruited a team of seasoned professionals who serve as volunteer mentors to provide free business advice to small businesses affected by the pandemic. The County then matches the small business with a volunteer mentor whose skill set matches the small business owner’s needs. This program is provided by the County in partnership with RXR Realty’s RXR Volunteer Program, which similarly connects local small businesses affected by COVID-19 with volunteers who have expertise in various business disciplines.

Business FIRST Grant Program:

In September 2020, the County announced a $10 million funding initiative to support small businesses and nonprofits facing challenges due to COVID-19. The Westchester County Business FIRST Grant Program was designed to offer immediate financial relief to organizations that employed 99 or fewer people. Eligible businesses and nonprofits were able to apply for grants of up to $49,000. In December, the Office of Economic Development announced an additional $4 million in grants, and is exploring additional opportunities in 2021. Westchester RISES:

Focused on supporting local businesses struggling during the pandemic, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Office of Economic Development unveiled Westchester RISES in November 2020. This free program, in association with Accel7, a business and startup accelerator based in New Rochelle, was designed to support existing businesses that were looking to pivot or rebuild in response to the health crisis, or build resilience to prepare for the future. The six-month, virtual program featured workshops, roundtables, collaboration sessions and Strategy Deep Dives, which allow business owners and nonprofit leaders to meet 1:1 with a strategist or operator to work through a specific pain point.

Launch1000:

Announced in October 2020, Launch1000 is an innovative, fully remote, self-paced program designed to turn concepts and ideas into business plans and startups. The program’s goal is to give 1,000 Westchester residents the opportunity to create home-based income streams or launch new businesses and nonprofits. Led by entrepreneurial expert Pam Hoelzle, who has coached tens of thousands of early-stage entrepreneurs, Launch1000 requires a commitment of 10 hours per week and is designed to help businesses launch within the next six months. Applications will be reviewed, and participants admitted, on a rolling basis until the 1,000 slots have been filled. The next cohort will be admitted to the program in midMay. Since launch, more than 500 Westchester residents have begun the program.
