Towns served by Aquarion Water still a hard ‘no’ on changing ownership

This story has been updated to correct the title of Rochelle Kowalski and the names of the authors of the letter sent to area towns regarding the Aquarion Water Co. PURA case.

The CFO of South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (RWA) and the president of Aquarion Water Co. have reached out to communities served by Aquarion Water Co. to persuade PURA to change its mind and approve a change in control application from RWA and its parent Eversource Energy after a court remanded an earlier October 2025 denial back to the regulator.

Eversource was seeking the change in control following its $2.4 billion purchase of Aquarion Water in a deal that came about after the state legislature approved the creation of the nonprofit Aquarion Water Authority last year.

On Jan. 22 a Superior Court judge ruled that PURA acted “illegally” in denying the change in control application submitted by Aquarion Water Authority, RWA and Eversource and remanded the application back to the regulator.

The RWA letter sent to municipal government officials in Fairfield, New Canaan, Ridgefield and Westport (intervenors in the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority case) reiterates the water utility’s reasons for PURA to change its earlier decision to deny the change in control application.

“We understand and respect the concerns that have been raised about the transaction framework,” said Lucy Teixeira, Aquarion Water Co. President, and Rochelle Kowalski, CFO of RWA. “A decision of this magnitude warrants scrutiny and thoughtful discussion. At the same time, it is important to evaluate not only the mechanics of the transition, but the concrete protections, oversight and benefits that will accompany it.”

Attorneys for the Aquarion Water Authority, Regional Water Authority and Eversource filed a joint remand brief Tuesday ahead of PURA’s March 25 deadline to issue a final remand decision. Attorneys for the intervenor towns, the state Attorney General’s office and the Office of Consumer Counsel also filed remand briefs on Tuesday.

“A decision of this magnitude warrants scrutiny — but so do the protections and benefits that come with it.”

In the remand brief and RWA community letter, Eversource and its water utility made its case for PURA and the intervenor towns to accept its modified offer of compromise. That includes the following commitments from Aquarion Water Authority:

• Municipal revenue protection: Payments in Lieu of Taxes that will never be less than Aquarion’s current property tax payments at closing, ensuring that no community is financially disadvantaged by the transition.

• Rate stability for customers: a $10 million Rate Stabilization Fund, enforceable by PURA, to help offset future rate impacts and provide an added layer of customer protection.

• Permanent preservation of existing rate credits: the $16.8 million in annual rate credits already embedded in Aquarion rates will remain in place in perpetuity, continuing to benefit customers year after year.

• Structured governance and oversight: a Special Transition Committee to oversee the transition process, followed by bifurcated voting for the AWA and RWA boards with separately defined accountability, once steady state operations are achieved.”

In their own briefs, the intervenors, Attorney General William Tong and the Office of Consumer Counsel stood fast against PURA changing its decision to deny the application.

“The Towns urge PURA to balance all such factors and to deny the Application,” the intervenors brief stated. “The evidence at the hearings before PURA demonstrated that this transaction would not be in the public interest for a multitude of reasons, including:

— Lucy Teixeira, President, Aquarion Water Co., and Rochelle Kowalski, CFO, South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority

• The fact that all 26 municipalities participating in this docket are opposed to the transaction, and not one municipality in the Aquarion region is supportive.

• The fact that rates are guaranteed to increase if the transaction is approved

• The fact that applicants intend to pass on to ratepayers as part of the rate base a $500 million acquisition premium, contrary to what PURA has ever permitted.

PURA is due to take up the remand application sometime next month following the March 25 deadline.

Fan Duel Sports Network parent company

YOUR PARTNER

folding it up April 14 IN GROWTH

This story has been updated to include a comment from the Main Street Sports Group CEO David Preschlack.

SOUTHPORT – By the end of the 2025-2026 NBA and NHL seasons and two weeks into the 2026 MLB season sports fans will know the name of Fan Duel Sports Network’s parent company … for all the wrong reasons.

That’s because on April 14 Main Street Sports Group of Southport plans to shutter its operation and lay off its 44 employees from the CEO on down. The company, which takes up most of the space at the 27,392-square-foot Pequot Plaza office building, started off the year with broadcast rights to 29 NBA, NHL and MLB teams. Its demise has left nine MLB teams scurrying for flagship regional TV coverage just about a month before Opening Day.

The NBA season ends April 12 and the NHL season ends April 16.

“FanDuel Sports Network is continuing to broadcast NBA and NHL games as we engage in discussions with our partners about our go-forward plans," said Main Street Sports Group CEO David Preschlack.

"While final decisions have not been made, we have issued WARN notices to employees, as required by law, in connection with potential workforce impacts that could occur in the coming months. Any and all aspects of the WARN notices can be revoked at any time. We remain committed to transparency and fair treatment of our employees.”

In a federal WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice to Fairfield First Selectperson Christine Vitale and the state Department of Labor, the company’s Chief Human

Resources Officer Meredith Powers announced the news.

“This action is expected to be permanent,” Powers wrote in a Feb. 13 WARN notice about the layoffs and office closing. “While we do not meet the threshold to trigger WARN, we wanted to make you aware of our Company’s circumstances.”

Only two weeks prior to the WARN notice, a spokesperson for Main Street Sports said it was going to continue broadcasting NBA and NHL games.

"FanDuel Sports Network is continuing to broadcast NBA and NHL games, and we appreciate the leagues' engagement in ongoing discussions on our go-forward plans," a spokesperson for

Main Street Sports wrote in a statement to ESPN on Feb. 2. "We appreciate the relationships we have had with these MLB partners and their fans over many years, and we wish them the best."

MLB is producing games for at least 13 teams, including the Cardinals, Reds, Royals, Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Tigers, and others, as they move away from the bankrupt FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports).

Main Street Sports owns local rights for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs, LA Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies. In the NHL, the Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues.

Main Street Sports wound up with the broadcast rights for the sports teams after it took over Fox Sports and Bally regional sports channels.

Trump caves: all withheld funds for Gateway Tunnel project released

The Trump administration has done an about face and released all of the funding it was withholding for the Gateway Tunnel project. The administration's action reflects its decision to stop defying a court order requiring it to release the funding.

The Gateway Development Commission said on Feb. 18 that it "has received the full reimbursement owed to us from the federal government and now has more than $205 million available to fund work on the Hudson Tunnel Project."

The commission said it is working with its contractors and will resume work on the $16 billion project as soon as possible.

"Letters will be sent to contractors today, and construction activities are expected to resume next week," the commission said, meaning Feb. 23 or thereafter. "We continue to pursue all avenues to secure access to the full amount of federal funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, including our lawsuit.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Feb. 18 reacted by saying, “For months, Donald Trump illegally suspended funding for the Gateway Tunnel, putting the most important infrastructure project in the nation in jeopardy. Today — after our preliminary court victories and repeated conversations with the President about the need to keep funds flowing — we secured a major result: The

federal government released the remaining $98 million in overdue funding to Gateway and provided an additional $30 million in reimbursements for work completed in January.

“I have told the President repeatedly that when he targets New York, we will fight back and we will not back down. Today’s progress is significant, but we need certainty that Gateway funding will remain in place for the duration of the project. The federal government has a legal obligation to fully fund Gateway, and New York will accept nothing less,” Hochul said.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport had filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration that resulted in a federal judge's order for the funding to be released. The administration had stopped mak-

ing payments in October and when the money on hand ran out construction was stopped.

“This funding freeze was unlawful from the start. We took swift action in court, and now every dollar that was illegally withheld has been released," James said. "This morning, New York and New Jersey received the remaining nearly $130 million owed for the Gateway Project, finally unlocking all the funding that had been frozen. These funds should never have been withheld in the first place. I am thrilled that hardworking New Yorkers can now get back on the job and move forward with the most important infrastructure project in the country."

James said her office would remain vigilant to ensure this funding continues uninterrupted.

“My office will keep fighting in court to save Gateway permanently, on behalf of the millions of workers and riders who depend on it.”

“The federal government has a legal obligation to fully fund Gateway, and New York will accept nothing less.”

As a result of the New York/New Jersey lawsuit, on Feb. 6 a temporary restraining order was issued requiring the federal government to release more than $200 million in overdue funds, which took effect on Feb. 12. In compliance with the court’s order, the administration released $30 million on Feb. 13, followed by an additional $77 million. The Feb. 18 payment completed unfreezing of all of the money that had been frozen.

On Feb. 17, Hochul told a rally of idled workers at a Gateway construction site in New York City that she had talked to President Trump four times in the previous few days, the latest time on the night of Feb. 16.

— Kathy Hochul

Hochul said that she told Trump, “Mr. President, I know for a fact a lot of these guys might have supported you. How can you throw them out of their jobs? How can you tell them to go home? How do they go back to their families and tell their kids, ‘I’m sorry … the president who promised to create more jobs in this country has laid me off.’”

Hochul also emphasized that the Gateway Tunnel program cannot keep starting and stopping construction activity.

“The workers need to know that their job is going to be there, the one they signed up for, the one they trained for, the one they’re so proud of,” Hochul said. “It has to be there year after year until this project is done, and this project has to be done. We cannot compromise the safety of the Northeast Corridor.”

Truck dealership looking to convert property, open in Cortlandt Manor

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Leal Peterbilt, a commercial Peterbilt truck dealership and service company based in Maspeth, Queens in New York City, wants to convert a partially-built car wash that never opened in Cortlandt Manor into a facility for Leal Peterbilt of Westchester.

According to attorney Brad Schwartz of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz LLP, in Nov. 2017, Cortlandt’s Planning Board issued site plan and other approvals for the Crystal Clean Car Wash at the property. The building was mostly constructed, but a certificate of occupancy was not issued because certain items needed to be completed. The car wash project eventually stalled.

The entity 70 Roa Hook Realty LLC has purchased the property at 70 Roa Hook Road and is seeking

site plan approval to make changes to the existing structure to accommodate parts sales and truck servicing.

“Some of these modifications include increasing the size of the service bays to accommodate trucks, adding bays and removing a portion of the existing building, an addition to the building, and new parking configuration to facilitate truck turning movements,” Schwartz said.

Among many changes proposed would be converting three existing car wash bays to be used as service bays. Two existing wash bays would be demolished and four new service bays would be created. One existing car wash bay would be converted for storage of parts.

Leal Peterbilt says that its business centers on supporting customers in

buying, servicing, and maintaining Peterbilt brand trucks and related equipment. The dealership sells new Peterbilt commercial trucks, which are heavy-duty vehicles primarily used in freight hauling, construction, and other industrial transport sectors, as well as pre-owned trucks.

Leal Peterbilt stocks and sells genuine Peterbilt parts and accessories as

well as providing truck servicing and repair work, often including routine maintenance, diagnostics, and warranty or post-warranty repairs to keep fleets running efficiently.

It expects that its Westchester outlet would operate Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

The company said it does not keep stock trucks for retail sales and that most of the vehicles come in from the factory, get prepared and are picked up by the final user within a week. The company said that it could potentially keep one or two dump trucks on the site for display. It said it expects that about 14 trucks would be brought in for servicing each month. The company said it expects that only dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, garbage trucks, oil and fuel trucks, roll offs, box trucks, conventional sleeper tractors and day cab tractors less than 30 feet in length would be at the location.

Ex-Darien resident and mortgage company owner gets 90 months in prison

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

NEW HAVEN – A former Darien mortgage company owner and investment adviser has been sentenced by a U.S. District judge to more than 7 years in prison and three years of supervised release for perpetrating an investment fraud scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut David Sullivan.

John Masanotti, 71, of Bonita Springs, Florida, and formerly of Darien, also agreed to pay $4,361,632 in restitution to the victims of his crime, and to cooperate with the IRS to pay all back taxes, penalties, and interest.

According to court documents and

statements made in court, Masanott was the owner and managing member of Darien-based Middlesex Mortgage Group LLC, also known as Middlesex Group LLC.

Through Middlesex and while acting as an investment advisor, Masanotti purported to manage a pooled investment vehicle on behalf of investors. Masanotti claimed to clients and potential clients that invested funds were going to be, and were in fact, pooled together and invested in foreign currency and other investments.

Between approximately 2016 and 2023, Masanotti defrauded 14 clients of a total of more than $4 million

by using their money for personal expenses, and to pay returns to other clients. Masanotti provided clients with fraudulent monthly account statements from Middlesex that showed fake investment profits.

In addition, for the 2016, 2017, and 2019 through 2022 tax years, Masanotti failed to report to the IRS more than $3 million in income, resulting in a tax loss of nearly $1 million. Masanotti also made false statements to the FBI during the investigation and filed false records in an attempt to obstruct the investigation. Masanotti was arrested on May 9, 2024, and pleaded guilty he pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax evasion on Oct. 1, 2025. Released on a $100,000 bond, he is required to report to prison on March 19.

ICE says it has not purchased Chester warehouse, retracting previous statement

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

“Let me be clear: the Hudson Valley does not support ICE expansion in our community.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told Westfair's Westchester County Business Journal that as of Feb. 19 it had not purchased the warehouse at 29 Elizabeth Drive in Chester, New York, in Orange County that has been the subject of enormous controversy recently. ICE had developed a plan to buy the former PepBoys warehouse from an entity related to businessman and investor Carl Ichan and convert it into a detention facility for people arrested by its agents.

— Pat Ryan

ICE previously had released a statement saying that it had purchased the warehouse. On Feb. 13, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said that no deed had been filed with the county indicating that a sale had taken place.

ICE as of Feb. 19 told the Business Journal, “ICE has NOT purchased a facility in Chester, New York. That statement was sent without proper approval, and this mistake has since been rectified."

When word got out about ICE’s plan for the Chester warehouse, a groundswell of public and official opposition arose. ICE has been creating a national network of detention centers capable of holding

an estimated 100,000 people. Some of the most vocal critics of ICE have called the planned detention centers "concentration camps." ICE already has a long-standing arrangement with Orange County to use part of the county jail to hold people arrested as part of its immigration enforcement activities. ICE did not immediately respond to a question from the Business Journal on whether a new detention center would result in cancellation of its arrangement to use the county jail.

The statement from ICE sent to the Business Journal also restated what ICE describes as its mission.

“DHS is conducting law enforcement activities across the country to keep Americans safe. It should not come as news that ICE will be making arrests in states across the U.S. and is actively working to expand detention space," ICE said. “ICE is targeting criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, criminals, gang members and more. 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.”

The warehouse encompasses 401,000 square feet with parking for 194 cars. ICE had tried to prevent

the public and local officials from finding out about its interest in converting the warehouse into a detention facility. However, when it filed required government paperwork disclosing that its project would impact a flood area on the property, word of its plan for the warehouse got out.

Neuhaus said that he had not heard anything from federal officials from the time ICE first became interested in the warehouse. Neuhaus said that the sewage system in Chester already is at capacity and could not accommodate what ICE wants to do.

“You’re going to have a facility where you’re going to have thousands of protesters coming here at the same time they’re operating here in an industrial park,” Neuhaus said. “There are businesses all around the industrial park. There’s a commuter parking lot that is very actively used by people commuting to New York City on bus.”

Neuhaus noted that large protests have taken place outside of ICE detention facilities elsewhere in the U.S. He said that he talked with Gov. Kathy Hochul on Feb. 13 about the situation and asked her to have the New York State Police available to help local police with crowd control should ICE actually convert the warehouse into a detention facility. He also asked for the National Guard to be on standby.

“I have not had one elected official

in New York state, in the Hudson Valley, in Orange County, call me and say they’re for this,” Neuhaus said. He is a Republican and pointed out that his Republican-controlled County Legislature voted unanimously against the project.

Congressman Pat Ryan whose district includes Chester has been among those rallying the Hudson Valley community to stop ICE’s Chester plan. Ryan has now voiced an added concern about ICE leasing office space at 843 Union Ave., in New Windsor, close to New York’s New York Stewart International Airport.

Ryan demanded answers to what ICE is doing in New Windsor from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting ICE Administrator Todd Lyons.

“Let me be clear: the Hudson Valley does not support ICE expansion in our community,” Ryan told them. “More than 20,000 people have signed my petition opposing the proposed Chester detention facility. Bipartisan local leaders have condemned your plans. Our community has spoken with one voice: ICE's terror campaign has no place here. Now ICE is quietly expanding its footprint in Orange County without consulting the people who live here. This is not how agencies operate in a democracy. The Hudson Valley will not stand for it.”

CT United FC preps for inaugural season with no place to call home

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

BRIDGEPORT – As the CT United FC prepares to unveil its team to the media next week, there is still one nagging question left unanswered. Where will the MLS Next Pro soccer team play home games in its inaugural season this year?

For Ridgefield resident André Swanston, co-owner of Connecticut Sports Group and the CT United FC franchise, the answer still is Connecticut. But whether or not that will be in Bridgeport remains to be seen following the Gov. Ned Lamont’s rejection of $100 million in state funds earlier this month.

“Let me be clear: this does not deter the ambitions of Connecticut Sports Group or CT United FC,” Swanston said in a statement released to the Fairfield County Business Journal. “We remain committed to delivering a permanent stadium and building a professional soccer club at the highest levels.

“We will soon announce match locations across the state for CT United FC’s 2026 inaugural MLS Next Pro season. We are evaluating our alternative stadium development plans. Unfortunately, due to the governor’s lack of support, our updated stadium plans may not include affordable housing or be able to remain in Bridgeport.”

For the record, the state did approve $16 million in funds to cover the remediation and demolition of the Brownfield site at 255 Kossuth Street, where the $1 billion East Side stadium and affordable housing mixed-use project was supposed to be built. However, those funds were not released since they were contingent

on the stadium being built.

The governor’s spokesman Rob Blanchard and state Economic Development Commissioner Daniel O’Keefe confirmed in a published report that after a few years of leaving the possibility open, the administration will not help finance the proposed lower East Side sports venue.

“Governor Lamont has worked alongside elected officials, community leaders and economic partners to make transformative investments in education, infrastructure, housing and arts and culture, helping to build in Bridgeport’s continued growth and long-term success,” Blanchard said.

Swanston said he is disappointed in the governor’s decision and what it means to Bridgeport development.

“The decision by the governor to provide zero state support toward our stadium and mixed-use development project the governor to provide zero state support toward our stadium and mixed-use development project in Bridgeport is deeply disappointing,” he said. “Not just for Connecticut Sports Group, but for the hundreds of Connecticut families who would have access to affordable housing, the thousands of workers who would have gained employment, and residents throughout the state who stood to benefit from hundreds of millions in incremental tax revenue and billions in new economic activity.”

Swanston criticized the Lamont administration for not being consistent with the state’s history of public financing when it comes to sports stadiums and arenas.

“Under this administration, Connecticut has funded numerous projects with significantly less economic

“Let me be clear: this does not deter the ambitions of Connecticut Sports Group or CT United FC.” — André Swanston

impact, less permanent job creation, less or no housing, and lower private capital commitments,” he said. “In contrast, CTSG would have combined more than $500 million in private investment with one of the most ambitious affordable housing commitments tied to a stadium project anywhere in the country.”

The CTSG team released a chart showing the details of projects backed by state public financing. Dating back several administrations to 2000, the chart shows the state supported Rentschler Field (UConn football), Dunkin Donuts Park (Minor League Baseball’s Hartford Yard Goats), Total Mortgage Arena (renovations for the minor league hockey Bridgeport Islanders’ home) and the former XL Center (renovations of the renamed PeoplesBank Arena and home to the Hartford Wolf Pack minor league hockey).

“Over the past two years, Connecticut Sports Group has spent millions of private dollars and worked directly

with the Department of Economic and Community Development to meet and exceed the moving goal posts set before us,” Swanston said.

“State participation would have represented less than 20% of the total project costs (including housing), and only 49% of the stadium cost (mostly infrastructure related), well below the Connecticut average of over 90%.”

IMPACT ON WOMEN’S TEAM

It is not clear how the state’s decision not to provide the $100 million in funding will impact Connecticut Sports Group’s agreement with WPSL PRO to establish a women’s professional soccer club in Connecticut. However, the final award of the team is contingent on the delivery of the proposed Bridgeport waterfront stadium, which will serve as the club’s home venue.

WPSL Pro will launch in 2027 as a new professional women’s soccer league that will serve as the second division of U.S. Soccer.

Meanwhile, CTSG and CT United FC will host a media day Wednesday, Feb. 25 at Chelsea Piers Stamford where they will introduce the team that will start its inaugural season March 1 against FC Cincinnati 2 on the road. Also in attendance at the Media Day will be Swanston, MLS Next Pro President Ali Curtis, Sporting Director of CT United FC Denis Hamlett and Head Coach Shavar Thomas.

CT United FC is the fifth independent professional men’s soccer club in MLS Next Pro. The team is expected to play its home games at various locations throughout the state before a permanent home is found.

Alperin emphasized the importance of intention and authenticity on digital channels.“You have to know your audience, know what you want to say and when you want to say it…The one thing I would say is, be true to who you are,” said Alperin, underscoring the ongoing necessity for consistency in brand messaging.

Front row are the panelists: Kevin Bruckner, Owner & Creative Director, Bruck Studios; Lauren Alperin, Integrated Advertising and Content Partnerships Manager, New York Family Media; Daniel Sieger, Chief Storyteller, Stories for Good; Jennefer Witter, CEO & Founder, The Boreland Group Inc.; and Matt Sullivan, Executive Director, LMC Media.

Standing, Matt Farrell, Vice President, Commercial Banking Relationship Manager, Tompkins Community Bank; Lawrence Gore, Wealth Management Executive, Tompkins Financial Advisors; Karen Cammann, Branch Manager, Tompkins Mahopac Bank; BCW Senior Vice President of Events and Development Amanda DePalma; Derick Ansah, Assistant Vice President, Wealth Advisor, Tompkins Community Bank; Gary Grandstaff, Commercial Banking Regional Manager, Tompkins Community Bank

The panel touched on actionable tactics, including auditing company perceptions, leveraging collaborations on social media, setting a consistent content cadence, and applying AI for efficiency—always with an eye toward preserving authenticity and purpose. The lively discussion underscored a collective message: successful branding demands clarity, consistency, and deliberate storytelling at every touchpoint.

Moderator Amanda DePalma, the BCW’s Senior Vice President of Events & Development, began the discussion by asking the panelists how organizations can reveal their true stories.

Sieger said that leaders should listen to employees and customers. ”Very often, organizations think that the company’s leaders, the executive team, are the owners of

Sullivan noted the importance of studying metrics to determine which messages are working. “Make sure that you are testing things out and understanding how many likes you are getting, how much engagement, how many comments,” said Sullivan, who also urged business leaders to go offline for feedback. “Word of mouth also goes a huge way. Check in with your customers and with your staff to make sure that people are receiving the message and it is being heard.”

Bruckner emphasized focused storytelling. “Being intentional about the content that you’re creating is really important,” said Bruckner. “Define who it is that you are, who it is that you serve, and tell stories around that, as opposed to just posting random photos to stay active,” said Bruckner.

Witter offered candid wisdom on the self-reflective reality checks needed for effective branding. “You have to make sure that the perception meets the reality. Because if you’re going out there telling your story, telling your brand, and it’s not aligning with what people are thinking, then you’re going to have to take a step back, and you may lose opportunities,” Witter warned.

Goshen lawyer disbarred for professional misconduct

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

An Orange County lawyer who failed to cooperate with a judicial investigation has been disbarred.

The Second Appellate Court concluded on Feb. 4 that Jamie T. Ferrara, of Goshen, engaged in professional misconduct and must desist from practicing law in any form.

Ferrara has practiced law in New York since 2007. He worked as an assistant district attorney in Orange County, and in 2018 he incorporated Ferrara Law P.C. in Goshen. He handled criminal cases, such as white collar crime, drugs, assaults and drunk driving, according to his web site, as well as business and real estate matters.

Last year, the regional lawyers grievance committee accused Ferrara of conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, for failure to cooperate with a disciplinary investigation, and conduct that adversely reflects his fitness as a lawyer, for failure to produce subpoenaed documents.

Ferrara was given 20 days to respond, according to the appellate court decision, but neither answered the charges nor asked for more time to do so.

The grievance committee asked the court to deem the charges established and to impose discipline. Ferrara did not respond to the motion, the appellate court decision states, and a panel of five appellate court judges ruled that the charges had been established.

The appellate court does not say why Ferrara was investigated.

According to court records, he was sued twice last year.

Thomas Kincade, a client who claimed police officers injured him in a 2024 incident, accused Ferrara of legal malpractice and negligence. Kincade alleged that Ferrara failed to pursue claims, the time to do so expired, and the opportunity to win monetary damages was lost.

Ferrara did not answer the lawsuit.

A nonprofit organization that manages The Paddock townhous -

es and condominiums in Goshen accused Ferrara of failing to pay monthly assessments and fees for a townhouse he owns. The association

is demanding nearly $12,000. Ferrara did not reply to an email asking for his side of the story in the disbarment proceeding.

Yonkers company buys Wappingers Falls retail site

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Hampshire Management Company, based on Midland Avenue in Yonkers, has bought Staples Plaza at 1849 South Road in Wappingers Falls. The 24,365-square-feet commercial building includes a staples store as well as a Sherwin Williams outlet.

The sale was brokered by Houlihan Lawrence Commercial, a division of Houlihan Lawrence. The property sold for $4.8 million.

Steven Salomone and Thomas Laperch, of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial, represented the seller,

Redl Real Estate, LLC. Houlihan Lawrence said that Hampshire was referred to it by Martin Deitch of the Westchester-based real estate firm Aries, Deitch and Endelson.

This property is situated on Route 9 with frontage on both Route 9 and Route 9D. Both Staples and Sherwin Williams are reported to have long-term leases with both having been at the site for more than 20 years.

A listing showed that the site covers 2.41 acres. The building was constructed in 1985.

Five ways to prepare for early retirement

by BEN SOCCODATO AND CHRIS KAMPITSIS

The idea of retiring early is appealing, as it offers more time for travel, family or simply living life on your own terms. However, early retirement also means a longer retirement, which creates unique planning challenges. If you’re thinking about stepping away from work before the traditional age of 65, here are five things to keep in mind:

01 02 03 04 05

Be mindful about guaranteed income decisions. Health insurance – covering the gap before Medicare

When you retire early, it can be tempting to start income streams, such as pensions or Social Security, right away. But turning them on too soon may reduce your lifetime benefit.

Your strategy should plan for those “gap years,” which are the years between when you stop

One of the biggest challenges for early retirees is health insurance. Once you leave your employer’s group plan, you’ll need coverage until you qualify for Medicare at age 65.

Many early retirees explore plans available through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). ACA premiums are based on income, not assets, which means strategic planning around income sources

The Rule of 55

If you leave your job in or after the year you turn 55, the Rule of 55 allows you to withdraw funds from your 401(k) from your most recent employer without paying the usual 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Building up brokerage dollars

You’ll need more because you’re planning for more

Early retirement sounds like “more freedom,” but financially, it means more years without income. That requires a bigger nest egg.

This can be a helpful bridge for early retirees, but remember, it only applies to your current employer’s plan and not old 401(k) s that have been rolled over into IRAs.

draw on those dollars to manage qualify for ACA subsidies during

If you want more flexibility before age 59½, it helps to build up taxable brokerage accounts. These accounts don’t have early withdrawal penalties and can serve as another bridge to access funds while letting your retirement accounts continue to grow tax-deferred.

For many early retirees, a combination of brokerage assets, Roth funds and the Rule of 55 provides an effective income strategy during the pre-Medicare and pre-Social Security years.

If you retire at 55 instead of 65, your portfolio needs to last a decade longer. That means saving more aggressively while you’re working and planning for market volatility. If the market declines early in your retirement, it can affect your long-term sustainability. That’s known as sequence of returns risk.

Building in flexibility, perhaps part-time income, a phased retirement or holding extra cash reserves, can help smooth out those years.

The bottom line

Retiring early can be a dream realized, but it requires careful preparation. From bridging health coverage to balancing income sources and timing your guaranteed benefits, there’s more to early retirement than simply walking away from work. With the right strategy in place, those extra years of freedom can be financially sustainable and truly rewarding. The SKG Team can help you build a plan designed to make early retirement possible and sustainable.

“The Hudson River fishery was virtually extinct because of lack of attention to pollution in the river.”

Former Congressman Richard Ottinger dies at age 97

— Richard L. Ottinger

Former Westchester Congressman Richard L. Ottinger has died at age 97. He has been living at his home in Mamaroneck. Ottinger represented Westchester on\Capitol Hill between 1965 and 1971 and again from 1975 to 1985.

Congressman George Latimer, whose 16th Congressional District covers part of the Bronx and Westchester said, “The passing of Richard L. Ottinger marks yet another profound loss in Westches -

ter’s political history. A distinguished member of Congress for eight terms, he was a steadfast champion of environmental causes, a brilliant legal educator, and a role model to all who followed in his path. We mourn his loss and place him alongside Ogden Reid and Nita Lowey among the very finest leaders Westchester has sent to our Nation’s Capitol to represent our community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends as we honor his life and legacy.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered state flags to be flown at half-staff on Feb. 18 in Ottinger's memory and said, “Representative Ottinger was a prolific public servant who believed in making New York a better state for all. A prominent environmental advocate throughout his time in Congress and into retirement, Representative Ottinger led by example, fighting for a more sustainable and environmentally sound New York. I send my deepest condolences to the Ottinger family and all his loved ones.”

State Sen. Pete Harckham said, “We lost a giant of the environmental movement. Richard Ottinger served Westchester for 16 years in Congress, championing conservation and the clean-up of the Hudson River; he later taught environmental law professor at Pace University. My heartfelt condolences to his family.”

In Congress, Ottinger played a key role in developing landmark legislation such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act. Ottinger was appointed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and chaired the Energy Conservation and Power Subcommittee for his final four years in Congress.

Ottinger was originally inspired to run for federal office because of the pollution in the Hudson River. “The Hudson River fishery was virtually extinct because of lack of attention to pollution in the river,” Ottinger had told the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (ESSI), which he was instrumental in founding. “My Congressional district ran along the river, so it was an important issue

from the suburbs to Yonkers. When I got to Congress, I wrote legislation to establish an interstate commission to address pollution in the Hudson, and in my first year, we got that legislation passed.”

After retiring from Congress, Ottinger founded the Pace Energy and Climate Center in 1987 at Pace University in White Plains. Ottinger was the Dean Emeritus and a professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, which is consistently ranked number one in the nation for environmental law. In 2013, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law dedicated an energy-efficient classroom building to Ottinger.

“The country has lost a brilliant and dedicated public servant whose impact has extended far beyond his former role as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives,” said EESI Board Chair Jared Blum. “He was a visionary co-founder of EESI and a pillar of the environmental community who galvanized us all. His legacy will live on, through EESI and through all the many individuals who believe, like Dick, that a lifetime commitment to protecting the environment can indeed make a difference. My fellow board members and our staff join me in expressing our deepest condolences to his family.”

Ottinger never lost hope that the climate crisis could be overcome. “If you want to make a difference in the future of the world, there is nothing more significant you can do than to become an advocate for the environment,” said Ottinger in 2024.

Eye on Small Business –Inspiria Outdoor Advertising, White Plains

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

In 2007, marketing solutions specialist Ronnie Ram co-founded a publishing company that became Inspiria Media two years later.

Fast forward to 2017 and Inspiria Outdoor Advertising, which Ram created to address the difficulty local clients were having in navigating the process of planning and buying outdoor advertising space. Today he serves as president and CEO of Inspiria, a recipient of a 2026 Business Council of Westchester Hall of Fame Award.

In a recent interview with the Westfair Business Journal, Ram related how the company’s first “buy” was for a local restaurant that wanted its presence seen on a Metro-North platform, but didn’t know how to start the process. He went on to explain how outdoor (or out-of-home) advertising is gaining strength in different categories and why – eight years on and with Inspiria’s clients now spanning the country – Inspiria is staying local in White Plains.

Ronnie, thank you for speaking with the Journal. In a space that we assume is dominated by big national players, how does Inspiria differentiate itself?

“(We’re) a media buying and planning agency specializing exclusively in outdoor advertising. What this means is that we’re 100% aligned with our clients and agency partners as we do not represent any specific piece of inventory. Rather, we work with all of the public and independent companies and landlords nationwide to offer the best media mix possible.”

And your most consistent channels for attracting new advertisers?

“We love agency relationships and, in fact, our decision to exclusively work in outdoor advertising stemmed heavily from our knowledge that if we don’t offer (competing) services, agencies will love to work with us as partners. We also believe strongly that you need to be everywhere your clients are. We advertise on Google, we network heavily with organizations like the Business Council of Westchester, we send e-blasts to our clients and we are very active on social media.”

How have your clients changed over, say, the past three to five years, and which categories are growing fastest?

“By far, the largest category growth we’ve seen is in health care. However, there’s been significant growth in education and real estate, as both charter schools emerge and more and more people move from the cities to more suburban areas. (Another) category we’re excited about is the nonprofit space.”

Outdoor advertising used to be seen as hard to measure. What metrics do you employ and how do you prove return on investment (ROI) to skeptical clients?

“The top measurement is and always has been impressions. Almost every outdoor advertising unit is audited so we can tell you how many cars and sometimes even people – based on cell phone data – walk or pass by your ad. ROI is a more complicated question as it is highly determined by your goals. For example, one of the largest advertisers in the world is McDon-

“We’re 100% aligned with our clients and agency partners — we don’t represent inventory; we represent the best media mix possible.”

— Ronnie Ram

ald’s. Their most common message is a directional ad such as “Next Stop Turn Left” or a product message like “Coffee and Sandwich for x $.” They know their ROI is reaching the potential customers with directions or a promotion, but they don’t ask you what made you come in when you order.”

With clients nationwide, White Plains is still your base. What are the advantages?

“In today’s world, we find that quality of life is much more important for so

many people and our ability to offer a hybrid work environment in a thriving city along with our ability to head into Manhattan easily, really sets us apart in terms of culture and satisfaction. Our location in White Plains also provides a great opportunity to know our backyard. As many of our clients and advertisers are in the New York tristate area, our ability to be physically present has made a great impact on our credibility.”

Lastly, what are the biggest challenges you’re navigating right now (regulation/permitting, real estate, technology costs, competition, economic cycles), and what bets are you making to stay ahead over the next two to three years?

“The biggest challenge right now is the political and economic landscape and how it affects many of our clients. For example, tariffs affect costs which affect sales and budgets. Political shifts may affect grants for nonprofits. Cyber security issues affect overhead costs. There are so many factors that affect our business, but our job is to be aware of what is happening and shift accordingly.”

Travel Talk — no substitutes, but alternatives

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

Last year’s protests against mass tourism in European cities like Venice, Barcelona and Lisbon look likely to be repeated in 2026. Locals are aggrieved and with good reasons, saying “over-tourism” is raising the cost of living, forcing them out of affordable housing and making their city centers dirty and unappealing.

So while there will never be any substitutes for cities like Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and those three above, there are always alternatives.

Nice, France Syracuse, Italy

Sitting on the jaw-droppingly lovely Baie des Anges (Bay of the Angels), the capital of the Cóte d’Azur – which in recent years had been a bit, how shall we say, in the doldrums – is on a roll. Typified by Parisian chic but a notable absence of Gallic curtness or Proustian angst, France’s seventh largest city offers the best of all possible worlds. Culturally it’s unbeatable, with museums galore (the Matisse Museum; the Musée National Marc Chagall; Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Nice (MAMAC), reopening in 2027 after a four-year refit; and the Villa Masséna museum, to name but four), while the city also boasts its own symphony orchestra and a world-class opera house. Sure, the city fills up in July and August but somehow Nice never feels overcrowded.

With five miles of fully-serviced (pebbly) beaches, you can get your cultural shots before lunch and spend the afternoon swimming and sunbathing. As for the food, it’s Provençal with a heavy Italian influence (Nice was an Italian territory until 1860), and this winning combination marks it out as one of the best food cities in France. Look out for local soca flatbread, made with chickpea flour; squeaky fresh shellfish; sophisticated bouillabaisse (fish soup) and exceptional pizzas – or pinsas, as they are known locally – not that you’ll easily miss them.

Getting there: Delta Airlines resumes its seasonal daily nonstop between John F. Kennedy International Airport and Nice in May.

You saw the second season of “White Lotus” and loved it, but you’re far too sensible to consider even visiting Taormina during the summer season. Should you need reminding, Taormina is the dreamy hilltop Sicilian town in the shadow of Mount Etna, where three generations of the Di Grasso family discovered things about one another they’d probably have preferred not to know and where, in the ocean below the hotel, the Tanya McQuoid-Hunt character, played by Jennifer Coolidge, met her unfortunate end. Overrun with tourists in high season, as long-suffering locals bemoan acute water shortage, the smart money heads an hour south instead, to Syracuse and its beating historic heart, Ortigia. Actually an island reached via two short bridges from the mainland by car or on foot and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005, Ortigia is crammed with vast palaces and ancient temples, like the Temple of Apollo and the Cathedral of Syracuse, (itself a former Greek Temple), as well as being home to the Fountain of Arethusa, a natural spring in the center of the island. And Ortigia’s small harbor is so picturesque it could make the Terminator weep.

Another advantage to Ortigia is its proximity to the towns of Noto, Ragusa and Modica, stunning UNESCO-listed Baroque towns all rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake. Apart from its dramatic, inherent beauty, Modica is known for its chocolate – it’s Sicily’s chocolate capital – while Noto is home to what many have called the best gelato shop in all Italy, Dolceria Costanzo.

Getting there: Delta Airlines resumes its seasonal nonstop service between John F. Kennedy International Airport and Catania, Sicily on April 14.

Porto, Portugal

Over-tourism was said by locals to have been at least partly responsible for the 2025 funicular crash that killed 16 people in Lisbon. The 160-year-old Elevador de Gloria funicular was originally built to help the elderly navigate the Portuguese capital’s impossibly steep hills and locals get to work – not to cope with upwards of three million tourists a year that Lisbon is doing its best to play host to.

So while Lisbon will always beckon, if you’re hell-bent on Portugal, you might want to consider a visit to Porto instead.

Built on hills abutting the impressive Douro River just two miles inland from its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean, 2,000-year-old Porto is Portugal’s second largest city and a humdinger of an urban vacation spot. With architectural wonders including the Sé (Porto Cathedral); the 18th century Clérigos Church and its tower; the 19th-centuryPalacío de Bolsa, or Stock Exchange; and the São Bento station, with its ravishing blue azulejo tiles – one of the world’s most beautiful railway stations – Porto also features dramatic rivers views and is close to some stunning Atlantic beaches. And if you’re fearless and sound of heart, don’t miss crossing the Luis I Bridge, which crosses the Douro in the center of town on foot, an experience for which the word “vertigo” seems barely adequate.

But at the end of the day – or even the start of it, if you’re one of those locals who starts his or her day with a brandy-laced café com cheirinho – Porto means wine, especially the “Port” wine, to which it gives its name.

The city’s historic wine cellars and lodges are situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, across the river from the main city, and visiting them is a thrilling – not to say deliciously bibulous –experience.

Getting there: TAP Portuguese Airlines and United Airlines both fly nonstop from Newark Liberty International Airport to Porto.

Málaga, Spain

When Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé sung “Barcelona,” which became the anthem of the 1992 Olympics – a landmark Olympic Games that led to the complete revitalization of Catalonia’s capital and Spain’s second largest city – they could little have imagined that 30 years on, Barcelona would be begging tourists to stay away. Trust me, you don’t want to go to Barcelona in July or August, at least not if you value your sanity. Turn your thoughts instead to Málaga, Andalusia’s second largest city and one you should almost certainly have on your summer radar.

One of the oldest continuous inhabited cities in the world, magnificent Málaga had long played second or even third fiddle to the resort towns of the Costa del Sol, its name as a city only really known at all because it was the airport getaway to those sunny beaches of the south. Now though, that’s all changed, as the city has slowly been rediscovering its past glories, restoring its palaces, upgrading its museums and building new ones (there are now more than 30 of them in total) and, equally important, beefing up its luxury hotel inventory.

Yes, Málaga’s a gem, with wide boulevards and intimate, winding streets of honey-colored old stone. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso (the city has its own Museo Picasso) ,and increasingly recognized as a tech and financial hub, the city blends its rich cultural heritage with a new 21st century can-do attitude. Long gone are the days of Andalusian mañana. And one more important point in its favor: In Spain’s deep south, with Morocco just a hop, skip and ferry ride away across the Strait of Gibraltar, Málaga enjoys 320 days of sunshine a year, with an average 190 hours of daily sunshine in February. Indeed, it’s one Europe’s top five sunniest cities, as perfect for a winter vacation as a summer one. Who needs Barcelona?

Getting there: Delta and KLM fly from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Málaga Costa del Sol Airport daily via Paris or Amsterdam. American Airlines and British Airways fly from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Málaga Costa del Sol Airport daily via London

Former Westchester Broadway Theatre building becoming home to Jonard Tools

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

What had for many years been home to the Westchester Broadway Theatre (WBT) in Elmsford is now being transformed into the new home of Jonard Tools, which manufactures more than 900 unique products and services customers in all 50 states and more than 100 countries around the world.

WBT, a dinner theater that for 46 years staged Broadway-caliber shows, in 1991 had moved into its building at 1 Broadway Plaza in the Robert Martin Company’s Cross Westchester Executive Park. The theater closed in the state-mandated shutdown of public assembly places during the Covid-19 pandemic and never reopened. The building that was custom-built for WBT now has been redesigned for Jonard by Peter F. Gaito & Associates, the White Plains-based architecture, engineering and planning firm. Jonard was founded in 1958. It began in the Bronx, moved to Tuckahoe, and in 2019 moved to 200 Clearbrook Road in Elmsford, also in the Cross Westchester Executive Park. Products the company provides include tools for working on fiber op -

tic cables as well as coaxial cables, tool kits for electricians, various hand tools and gauges for measuring different pressures.

“It’s a unique space and we want to celebrate the fact that it’s the headquarters for a 58-year-old tool company,” Peter Gaito told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal. “We try to make it familiar but yet different from what was there and unique to the company that’s going to occupy it.”

Gaito said they they looked at what would make sense to save from the layout that existed and would be useful for the building’s new user. When it functioned as a dinner theater, there was seating for more than 450 in the main audience area along with elevated luxury suites in the rear. The stage and backstage area had dressing rooms and spaces for musicians. There was a professional kitchen, a souvenir shop, a ticket booth, service bars, large restrooms and production offices.

“In this case, there was seating along with level changes that we had to remove,” Gaito said. “We kept the footprint of the building, we kept the

first floor and mezzanine levels as starting points, and we kept the delivery doors they had for the theater. We isolated the main points we wanted to save and then designed the interior around those elements. We did not touch existing solar panels. We put in all new low-flow devices for toilets and sinks. All lighting is LED now.”

that the contractors conform to the drawings and the (materials) samples we thought about six months ago are the ones we’re looking at today,” Gaito said. “Our office has been around for 50 years or so and we’ve done a variety of projects.”

— Peter F. Gaito

Gaito said that this is the third project his firm has done with Jonard. He described the joy evidenced by Jonard’s CEO Rich Gerszberg for the new facility during the creative process to move Jonard into a 14,000-square-foot office area and 19,000-square-foot warehouse section.

“We had a complete understanding of the methodology of the workflow between the office area and the warehouse area,” Gaito said. “A lot goes into the project behind the scenes before we put pencil to paper. A lot happens in the design process. A lot happens during construction. We’re there every step of the way.”

Gaito said that the process included submitting initial drawings, discussing refinements and then adjusting the plans.

“When construction happens we’re there all the time as well to make sure

BUSINESS

Gaito described working on projects as varied as townhouses, 10 and 20 story buildings, hotels and restaurants.

“The products that are available to us to put into buildings and help clients enjoy their environments certainly have improved over the years,” Gaito said. “They’re healthier, they’re better, they’re long-lasting. In the computer world, we can represent that more accurately in terms of scale, with material visualization to help clients understand what they’re getting. The computer accuracy comes through into construction documents and helps contractors as well.”

Gaito said that in a project, whether repurposing a former dinner theater building or something else, it’s important to bring in the architect very early to work with principals, engineers, consultants and contractors in a collaborative environment.

“It’s not as simple as drawing a box and keeping the rain out,” Gaito said.

Cloudbound opens in New Rochelle

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Cloudbound, an indoor playspace designed for children up through age six, has opened an 18,000-squarefoot facility at Simone Development Companies’ 80 Nardozzi Place in New Rochelle.

The New Rochelle location is the first for Cloudbound, which says another site in Washington, D.C., is expected soon. It also said it plans to begin offering franchises to expand the number of Cloudbound outlets. “We are very proud that Cloudbound

chose 80 Nardozzi Place for its first location in the nation,” said Joanna Simone, president of leasing and property management operations for Simone. “The addition of this family-focused recreational space further strengthens our complex at Nardozzi Place as a prime experiential and service-oriented destination for the local community.”

The company behind Cloudbound is Sky Zone, based in Provo, Utah. Sky Zone was founded in 2004 as Sky Zone Trampoline Park, offering indoor trampoline setups. It says it

now owns, operates and franchises more than 265 parks that have more than 800,000 members using the trampolines.

Cloudbound said that it relied on the expertise of Dr. Jennifer Jipson, an expert in early childhood development who has worked with Nickelodeon Jr., Mattel's Fisher-Price, and other companies in developing its operation.

"Young children learn best through hands-on play that sparks their curiosity, challenges their thinking, and invites meaningful connection with other children and with caregivers," the company quoted Jipson as saying.

"Cloudbound parks are intentionally designed to support this kind of play ful learning."

Cloudbound says it is offering the excitement of a playground coupled with the learning qualities of a chil dren’s museum.

According to Josh Rathweg, president of Cloudbound. “The early years of parenting are a critical time not only for children’s development, but for the formation of long-lasting family friendships. Cloudbound was designed to support both individu alized play for kids and intentional community-building opportunities for parents.”

Carolyn Vermont, Habitat for Humanity leader and Mayor Ganim aide dies at 65

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

Carolyn Vermont, the “unofficial mayor” of Bridgeport and executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County, has died while visiting family in Jamaica. She was 65.

Dr. Camelia Lawrence, a breast surgeon with Hartford Healthcare, made the announcement on her Facebook page Wednesday.

Vermont, a Bridgeport resident, was a former aide to Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim, the former local NAACP president and a volunteer with many local organizations.

“Carolyn Vermont was known to many as a proud daughter of Bridgeport, an advocate, a builder, and a steady voice of reason and calm. She was always willing to support, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need,” Dr. Lawrence wrote on her Facebook page Thursday morning.

“She was a voice for the voiceless, never afraid to dive deep into complex issues in pursuit of thoughtful, lasting solutions. Her generosity of spirit and boundless kindness touched countless lives. When I returned to the Bridgeport area in 2015, she was one of the very first to reach out and welcome me home. Her absence will be deeply felt across this community she loved so fiercely. May we honor her not only in words, but by continuing her good work of lifting others, building community, and standing courageously

for what is right.”

Many other condolences and memories were about Vermont were shared on social media over the past 24 hours.

“It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Carolyn Vermont, a devoted Bridgeport resident and dedicated advocate for our city and region,”

Mayor Ganim said. “Carolyn served in the Mayor’s Office and committed her life to strengthening our community through public service and civic leadership, including her work with the NAACP and Habitat for Humanity. Her impact was felt across Bridgeport, from supporting young people and prevention efforts to standing with families during difficult times.”

Bishop John R. Thompson of Calvary Temple Christian Center shared his thoughts.

“Carolyn was always present in moments that mattered,” he wrote on Facebook. “When my wife and I received the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, she stood faithfully with us. When I was honored with citations from the state, the city and the mayor, she was there again. And when I shared that my son Justin was releasing two nationwide movies, she didn’t just encourage him — she showed tangible support by purchasing posters.

She was simply a good person and a wonderful human being.”

and state leaders mourn her loss with heartfelt tributes

Tong, who knew Vermont well, also paid tribute.

“She was a beautiful soul and a true champion for Bridgeport and the state of Connecticut,” he wrote on Facebook. “She dedicated her life to making our streets safer and our communities stronger. Her legacy of love and service will live on.”

Vermont also served on Fairfield University’s Board of Trustees and was a 1982 and 1984 graduate receiving her bachelors and master’s degrees there.

while visiting family in Jamaica,” the university wrote on social media. “Carolyn was a devoted member of the Fairfield community, and her passing is a profound loss for all who knew her and were touched by her leadership and generosity.”

In addition to her work with Habitat of Humanity, Vermont ran Urban Family Development for nearly 24 years as a consultant and president. Prior to that, she was vice president of operations for National Black MBA Association for Westchester and Greater Connecticut. She received her Ed.D in educational leadership from the University of Bridgeport.

Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County names executive director

By Pamela Brown

Stamford’s Laustsen was former operations head at INTEMPO

The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County (CAFC) recently named Stamford resident Douglas Laustsen executive director to help guide the nonprofit forward by providing strategic and operational leadership during a period of both new opportunities and ongoing challenges for the arts and culture sector.

"Douglas’ creativity, commitment to community, and experience make him exceptionally qualified to lead the Cultural Alliance at this critical time,” said CAFC board President Cheryl Williams. “We are confident that his vision and leadership will strengthen the organization and advance arts and culture in Fairfield County."

Established in 2008, CAFC is a network of artists, arts, and cultural organizations, and creative businesses in coastal Fairfield County, and serves as a designated regional service organization of the Connecticut Office of the Arts. The nonprofit serves a 15-town region, including Bridgeport, Darien,

Easton, Greenwich, Fairfield, Monroe, New Canaan, Norwalk, Shelton, Stamford, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston, Westport, and Wilton.

The CAFC Board of Directors also announced the addition of new board members, including Whitney Isola of Stamford, Jen Wastrom and Pam Robey of Redding and Ann Lydecker of Darien.

“One of my first goals is to make sure everyone in lower Fairfield County knows that the Cultural Alliance is the go-to source for information about arts and culture in their community,” Laustsen said. “Additionally, we are going to create opportunities for connection and learning, not just among the members, but also with local business and civic leaders.”

A big part of his professional work has been to find ways to connect organizations, artists, and communities, Laustsen said. “Building partnerships that are additive for everyone involved brings me a lot of joy. I'm also a huge fan of cultural and civic spaces, and

I'm excited to advocate not just for how great they are, but their importance in our society.”

Laustsen has experience with nonprofit and creative organizations and is a seasoned arts administrator whose career has focused on using the arts to build stronger and more engaged communities. As an artist and musician, Laustsen has completed several projects that involve community engagement, audience interaction, and music technology.

Most recently, he served as the director of operations for INTEMPO, a nationally recognized creative youth development organization that provides music education to children in Stamford. Currently, he serves as treasurer on the board of El Sistema USA, a national network of organizations committed to providing high quality music education for every child.

As executive director of CAFC, Laustsen is looking forward to working closely with artists.

“I’m thinking about my role with local artists as a pollinator and advocate,” he said. “As I travel the

community, I want to find ideas in one place that could also thrive in another. I am also going to be their biggest fan and speak up for them whenever possible.”

He said he is excited to advocate for and support the work being done by the arts and culture sector in Fairfield County. Also, Lausten will support CAFC’s mission to provide marketing, capacity building, professional development, and advocacy services for its members.

“I want to make sure people acknowledge and celebrate the great cultural offerings in our region,” he said. “The Gold Coast is an incredible place to live for a lot of reasons. Among them are our arts and culture, but it's not mentioned often enough.”
