Stamford Health proposes $275M transformation of its campus
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
STAMFORD
– As part of a $275 million comprehensive plan to transform its Bennett Medical Center campus where Stamford Hospital is located, Stamford Health plans to build a 73,000-squarefoot, free standing Carl & Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center on the southwest corner of the campus.
Stamford Health cited the growing number of cancer diagnoses and the increasing number of effective treatments as a reason for the expansion. The health care company said it needed to evolve alongside the excellence of its clinical care, which is delivered as part of a collaboration with Dana Farber Brigham Cancer Center.
It also plans to expand the existing Bennett Cancer Center space into a two-floor behavioral health facility that will increase capacity and introduce a Partial Hospitalization Program along with outpatient psychiatric services. Two other facets of the expansion include relocating the Van Munching Inpatient Rehabilitation
unit to the fourth floor of Stamford Hospital from its location in the oldest building on the campus. The new unit will feature 20 private rooms, specialized spaces for brain injury care, advanced physical therapy and rehabilitation equipment and enhanced recreational areas.
Preceding this new plan, Stamford Health expanded inpatient behavioral health capacity and opened an outpatient behavioral health practice, serving adults and offering special programs for geriatric, prenatal & postpartum and oncology patients, with pediatric services coming soon. These initiatives, and additional investments in behavioral health services including a soon-to-come pediatric crisis program, have been supported by philanthropy and a $750,000 grant from the federal government.
Additionally, to support the campus expansion, Stamford Health will improve parking for patients, staff and visitors.

and investing in our facilities and staff,” said Kathleen Silard, Stamford Health president and CEO.
“That, coupled with our outstanding quality and patient experience recognitions, sets us apart from any other health system in Connecticut.
We are incredibly grateful to our donors and the state, who recognize the quality of care we provide by supporting our work.”
Construction is expected to begin in 2027, with phased-in openings of the new facilities over the next several years.
The Stamford Hospital Foundation will conduct a major philanthropic campaign to fund a significant portion of the project.
“This plan represents a transformational step for Stamford Health and the patients and families we serve,” said Liz Longmore, Stamford Health executive vice president and COO. “It reflects our commitment to delivering world-class care across oncology, behavioral health, and rehabilitation, while creating modern, state-of-the-art spaces that ensure our patients continue to receive the highest-quality care, close to home.”

Northwell opens $2.36M facility in White Plains
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Northwell Health, which describes itself as the largest not-for-profit health system in the Northeast and serving residents of New York and Connecticut with 28 hospitals, more than 1,000 outpatient facilities, 22,000 nurses and over 20,000 physicians, has opened a new $2.36 million Northwell Orthopedics center at 244 Westchester Ave. In White Plains.
The 4,630-square-foot facility is Northwell’s third dedicated orthopedic practice in Westchester, adding to the system’s existing locations in Tarrytown and Purchase.
The new practice features nine exam rooms, on-site imaging, and offers specialized surgical and non-surgical services for adults and adolescents. Focused on musculoskeletal health, the new medical practice offers various treatments across a wide range of subspecialties, including: back, neck
and spine; hand and wrist; hip and knee; shoulder and elbow; sports medicine; foot and ankle; and podiatry.
One of the treatments offered in White Plains is the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection. In that therapy, a patient’s own blood is used to accelerate healing. A blood sample is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets, and then the platelets are injected often using ultrasound guidance into damaged tissues to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
The PRP therapy is designed to harness the capabilities of a patient’s own body to heal and regenerate tissue, and is described as being useful in helping to treat a range of conditions from tennis elbow to arthritis.
“This new White Plains location allows us to deliver easily accessible, comprehensive orthopedic care right here in lower Westchester,” said Brandon Erickson, chief of orthope-

Northwell says that patients requiring surgery will have streamlined access to its Phelps and Northern Westchester hospitals, as well as the
Surgical Specialty Center of Westchester in Harrison.
David Seligman, executive vice president and president Hudson Valley and Connecticut and chief integration officer for Northwell Health said, “Northwell Orthopedics in Westchester is now the fastest growing orthopedic service in this region. What we’re seeing come to life here is a beautiful space. It’s the set-up that we need to support an orthopedic practice.”

Topping off for $156M Elizabeth Seton center
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The steel structure has been completed with the final beam being hoisted into place recently for the Elizabeth Seton Children’s young adult center at the site of the former St. Agnes Hospital on North Street in White Plains. The new center will serve young adults ages 18 to 35 with complex medical needs.
“Our young adult center is revolutionary. It will change the landscape of health care and set the bar for all that will follow,” said Pat Tursi, CEO of Elizabeth Seton Children’s.
Elizabeth Seton Children’s has facilities in Yonkers as well as White Plains. Elizabeth Seton Children’s School provides education in both Seton’s residential center and in community settings for children with medically complex conditions. Its Rehabilitation Center offers physical,
occupational and speech therapies along with medical specialties and care coordination services.
Elizabeth Seton explains that medical advances now enable more individuals with complex medical issues to thrive past their childhood and teenage years and into adulthood. Pediatric placement for young people with complex medical issues ends
at age 21 and many people who live into adulthood face being placed in a geriatric nursing home that may be unsuited to provide the specialized medical and emotional care that they need. Seton’s new facility is designed to change that.
Elizabeth Seton anticipates that the new center will open in early 2028. The new five-story building would
“Our young adult center is revolutionary. It will change the landscape of health care and set the bar for all that will follow”
— Pat Tursi, CEO of Elizabeth Seton Children’s
include 111,000 square feet and would have a courtyard and rooftop gardens. It would hold 96 patient beds. When it applied to the City of White Plains for the necessary approvals to construct the new facility Elizabeth Seton said that the center would generate 300 full-time jobs, including more than 150 in nursing. The construction is being handled by EW Howell Construction Group and the architect is E4H Environments for Health Architecture.
Tursi had told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal that Elizabeth Seton cares for young people “with some of the most severe medically complex conditions and diagnoses, many from birth, and many can be genetic disorders. Most of our kids are in wheelchairs, strollers if very young, and graduate and continue to have their independence through their mobility devices.”
She described the new facility as one that will have national attention as a pilot that would set a standard of excellence and care and develop protocols to meet the young adults’ needs.
Thornwood carnivore promoter ordered to pay $234,000
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A Thornwood man who advocates a carnivore diet for treating medical conditions has been ordered to pay nearly $234,000 for defaming a competitor.
U.S. District Judge Nelson S. Román issued a default judgment against Frank Tufano and Frankie’s Free-Range Meat LLC, on May 21 in White Plains federal court. The award is based on recommendations by U.S. Magistrate Judge Judith McCarthy who determined from an inquest that Tufano “willfully and maliciously” defamed Dr. Paul Saladino, of San Diego.
Tufano has appealed Judge Román’s decision, claiming, in part, that the court violated his constitutional rights.
Saladino operates the Institute for Functional Medicine in San Diego, and promotes a carnivore diet for treating medical conditions such as autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, and mental health issues.
In 2019, Tufano began spreading defamatory comments about Saladino on a YouTube page and on paulsaladino. com, an internet domain he registered, according to McCarthy. Tufano accused Saladino of plagiarizing his carnivore diet research and tarnished the doctor’s reputation by posting sexually graphic and homophobic imagery.
Saladino sued Tufano for cyberpiracy, defamation and deceptive business practices, in 2020. He added Tufano’s New York City business, Frankie’s Free-Range Meat, in an amended complaint filed in 2021.
Tufano did not answer the amended complaint, and last year Judge Román granted a default judgment against Tu-
fano and Frankie’s Free-Range Meat. Judge McCarthy stated in her inquest report that there is a “high need for deterrence” in this case.
She found that Tufano willfully created the domain to tarnish Saladino’s reputation and drive sales for his own business; failed to promptly remove defamatory content when Judge Román ordered him to do so; posted videos and comments “full of hatred and spite and falsely accused (Saladino) of heinous conduct;” and has continued to disparage Saladino.
Tufano, who also lists an address in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, near Scranton, accused Judge McCarthy of “ridiculous bias,” and asked the court to reject her findings. He said he did not answer the amended complaint because it was not properly served.
He stated that he is the victim. While Saladino made millions of dollars by promoting products based
“Saladino sued Tufano for cyberpiracy, defamation and deceptive business practices, in 2020”
on his research and used the wealth to harass him, Tufano claimed, he has had to shut down Frankie’s Free Range Meat.
Tufano argued that Saladino and the court have infringed on his Freedom of Speech, and that there is no explanation for a ruling in favor of Saladino.
“Why else would Paul Saladino be allowed to make millions of dollars off of Frank Tufano’s life’s work,” he stated, “and then further ruin his life by getting his Freemason buddy judge to silence the victim?”
Judge Román found that Tufano’s objections to Judge McCarthy’s report “lack substance, are meritless, and largely repeat arguments previously raised.” He decreed that Tufano defamed Saladino and ordered him to pay the doctor $233,883 in punitive damages, statutory damages attorney fees and legal costs.

Centennial new property manager of The SoNo Collection
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
NORWALK – Centennial, a national retail real estate owner and operator, has replaced Brookfield Properties as the property manager for The SoNo Collection, a premier luxury and lifestyle shopping center.
Under the agreement, effective immediately, Centennial will assume responsibility for day-to-day operations at the property, including property management, marketing, and accounting.
The announcement comes two months after the mall’s investors announced they were seeking a new owner as they had retained Chicago-based JLL Capital Markets as an exclusive advisor for a sale of the loan documents granting a first mortgage.
“We are proud to have been selected and entrusted to lead The SoNo Collection into its next chapter,” said Centennial President Paul Kurzawa.
“This is a truly exceptional asset that has redefined the retail experience in Connecticut. Our focus will be on building upon the center’s strong foundation, driving sustained traffic growth, and deepening its role as a community anchor.”
Spanning more than 700,000 square feet, The SoNo Collection is New England’s newest large-scale retail destination and a cornerstone of the South Norwalk neighborhood. Since its opening in 2019, the center has emerged as a premier destination for the region’s “Gold Coast” market, offering a curated mix of premium, contemporary, and lifestyle brands.
The property is anchored by southern Connecticut’s only Nordstrom and the state’s only Bloomingdale’s, and features a strong lineup of globally recognized retailers, including Apple, Zara, H&M, Sephora, and Arhaus.
The SoNo Collection will remain open and fully operational throughout the transition, continuing to deliver a seamless experience for guests and retail partners alike.
Centennial brings a comprehensive third-party management platform to the assignment, combining strategic merchandising, experiential marketing, customized placemaking, and data-driven leasing.
JLL was hired by investors of GGP, a subsidiary of Brookfield Properties that fully acquired GGP (formerly General Growth Properties) in 2018 for $9.25 billion.
The mall property, located at 100
N. Water St., is worth $157.5 million, according to Norwalk’s 2025 Grand List. The property serves approximately 385,000 residents within a 10mile radius earning average household incomes exceeding $235,000.
Centennial operates more than 25 million square feet of retail destinations across 18 states. In the Northeast, the firm also manages Connecticut Post Mall in Milford, Trumbull Mall and Providence Place in Rhode Island.

VS and Lennar move forward with planning for Cortlandt townhomes
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
VS Construction Corporation and Lennar Homes are moving ahead with plans to develop 96 townhomes on land at 2003 Crompond Road in the Town of Cortlandt. After a presentation on an application seeking approval to create a 99-lot subdivision on the site, the Cortlandt Planning Board voted to refer the matter for review by the town’s planning staff.
The development would include 10% affordable units and would be built on a portion of the Evergreen Manor project site. The proposal involves creating three more lots than the number of townhomes. They would be a common lot, a commercial lot, and an open space lot with wetlands.
Lennar Homes is the contract vendee for the property. The town requires that the units be sold through fee simple ownership rather than as condominiums. The way the subdivision would be set up allows for each owner of a unit to also own the associated
driveway, patio and green space, which under condominium ownership typically would not be individually owned. When the town adopted the Medical Oriented District (MOD) in which the property is located it mandated that developments in the MOD use fee simple lots.
Attorney David Steinmetz of the White Plains-based law firm Zarin & Steinmetz, representing applicant VS Construction, told the Planning Board, “Lennar Homes, a division of U.S. Homes, is one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. We are extremely
“The development would include 10% affordable units and would be built on a portion of the Evergreen Manor project site”
pleased that they are the contract vendee to implement and develop the 96 proposed residential townhouses and they are here and have been coordinating with our team as we’re now ready to advance this.”
Steinmetz said that there would be a homeowners’ association at the development that would be responsible for the exterior and open space maintenance along with snowplowing and other items that are specified.
“This is not Lennar’s first rodeo,” Steinmetz said. “If you’re not aware and you look into it you’ll see that Lennar is building residences throughout the nation, throughout the region. They have some rather large projects not far away and they’re very excited to be coming into New York, and coming into Westchester in particular, coming into the Town of Cortlandt.”
Steinmetz said that the main road for Evergreen Manor would be a public road feeding into a cul-de-sac. Off the cul-de-sac would be two private roads that service different units. He said that the townhouses would be developed in different groupings with four, five and six units in a building.
He said that the exact locations of the 10% affordable units had not yet been determined but it was likely that they would be distributed along the main artery along the eastern side of the property.
Steinmetz said there is sufficient driveway space at each unit to take care of guest parking. Some units would have two-car garages while others would have one-car garages. He said that the units vary in size from 2,000 square feet to 2,700 square feet.
“There are no amenities; there is no clubhouse or pool,” Steinmetz said. “There has been a fair amount of discussion about that. Lennar’s position is a development of this size is really not large enough to warrant some larger public amenity or community amenities.”
Steinmetz explained that Lennar has determined that if a developer has “a community that is a little bit on the smaller side it saddles residents with a rather sizable common area maintenance charge for something that they may not actually make sufficient use of. There would be recreation fees paid to the town in connection with this development.”
Great Rock Capital leads trio of new long-term leases on Riverside Ave. in Westport
WESTPORT – Three financial services firms have signed long-term leases totaling 14,000 square feet on Riverside Avenue, according to The Feil Organization, a national real estate investment firm that brokered the deals.
The companies signing the leases include Great Rock Capital, an asset-focused private credit lender, which has signed a lease for 8,700 square feet at 285 Riverside Ave.; Steward Partners, a full-service independent wealth management firm based in Stamford, which has leased
2,800 square feet at 355 Riverside Ave.; and Carbon Reduction Capital, a renewable energy-focused investment banking firm based in New York City, which has leased 2,400 square feet at 33 Riverside Ave.
“Tenants today are being more deliberate about where they choose to locate, and Westport continues to attract companies seeking Class-A office environments that help them recruit talent and strengthen operations,” said Randall Briskin, vice president of retail leasing at The Feil Organization. “These leases reflect Feil’s
ability to provide businesses with the space they need to succeed.”
In 2022, Feil acquired 285 Riverside Ave, 355 Riverside Ave and 33 Riverside Ave, three Class-A office buildings totaling 137,079 square feet. Situated along the Saugatuck River, each of these properties boasts waterfront views and contemporary design. In January, The Feil Organization announced its acquisition of 2–14 Post Road East in Westport from State & Main Streets LLC. The mixed-use property currently offers 3,200 square feet of available retail space.
The Feil Organization was represented in-house by Randall Briskin.

Health care under scrutiny at Nonprofit Westchester event
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Nonprofit Westchester (NPW) held a June 4 event at Manhattanville University in Purchase that was the first in a three-part series, “Inside the Nonprofit Sector.”
The morning conference, “Advancing Community Health: Aligning Cross-Sector Action”, convened high-level experts from across the nonprofit, health care, business, government, and higher education sectors to tackle complex socio-economic issues affecting Westchester County.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, who opened the program, emphasized the county’s dedication to shared responsibility.
“The fact that we have so many folks here from so many different sectors in one room speaks to how important this topic is,” Jenkins said. “When we talk about community health, we’re talking about much more than health care. It includes housing, nutrition, quality education, and economic opportunity. Government clearly can’t do this alone, health care providers cannot
do it alone, business can’t do it alone, and the nonprofits can’t do it alone. The most successful solutions emerge when we work together, share resources, and align our efforts around common goals.”
Among the aspects of health care under discussion were the shifting landscape, moving away from hospital-centric care toward community-based outpatient models, dealing with workforce shortages, and the role of artificial intelligence in health care delivery. Also discussed were planned cuts to Medicaid that could leave an estimated 400,000 New Yorkers without health insurance over time starting July 1.
“Too often we approach our greatest challenges through the lens of our own sectors, rather than recognizing the opportunity and necessity of working across sectors to solve problems,” said Jan Fisher, executive director of Nonprofit Westchester. “Today is an opportunity to start doing something different. In order to have healthy communities, we need to address more global issues like income dis-
parity, housing, education and other socio-economic factors. Meaningful progress does not always begin with large-scale, audacious initiatives. Sometimes the most impactful change starts with practical ideas, listening to each other, and small collaborative steps forward.”
The keynote address was by Dr. Lyndon J. Mitnaul, executive director at the Regeneron Genetics Center. He highlighted Regeneron’s partnership with historically Black colleges and universities.
“Regeneron supports global and local communities because we believe community plays a vital role in addressing health disparities, removing barriers, addressing root causes, and creating equitable opportunities for residents.,” Mitnaul said. “Our approach as scientists is to keep you out of the hospital. With science and tools like AI, we can understand how human genetics interact with social determinants of health to transition toward a future of equitable, precision health care.”
Manhattanville University President Frank Sánchez spoke and
“Also discussed were planned cuts to Medicaid that could leave an estimated 400,000 New Yorkers without health insurance over time starting July 1.”
noted, “Community health cannot be solved in a vacuum. It requires an intersection of policy, corporate responsibility, grassroots advocacy, and higher education. From a higher education perspective, I think about how we fuel this ecosystem. We recently started the Westchester Public Health Network, comprised of 32 different organizations, to build interdisciplinary career pathways.”
He said hosting the gathering aligned with Manhattanville University’s commitment to health care education.
Other participants included: Megan Baldwin, New York state’s deputy secretary for health; Amie Parikh, CEO of Hudson Valley Care Coalition; Joe Simone, president of Simone Development Companies; and Monica Hidalgo, senior director of community relations for New York-Presbyterian. Following the main presentation, attendees moved into breakout discussion groups focusing on seven core health areas: food access; economic stability; health care; arts and culture; housing stability; education; and technology.

Westfair’s Natalie Holland welcomed the attendees and was followed by the guest speaker for the event, Tami Wilson, COO of the nonprofit Feeding Westchester.
Wilson recalled the mixture of joy and humility she felt when she was honored with a C-Suite Award at the 2025 ceremonies.
“It’s about more than titles; it’s more than budgets; it’s more than strategies or outcomes,” Wilson said. “The true measure of leadership is not how far we go, but how many people will be bring along with us. It’s about developing others, creating opportunities, opening doors and leaving people stronger than when we found them.”
Wilson noted that she often tells her staff that she wants to take them along on the journey with her.
“No matter what sector we serve, we all have the ability to make an impact that extends far beyond our organizations,” Wilson said. “We shape culture, we inspire growth, we help others believe in what is possible for themselves.”

attorney he represents national developers, retailers, religious institutions, and individuals before municipal and state land use, zoning, and environmental agencies across the region. Gioffre said that his firm’s commitment to values strengthens its competitiveness and enhances its reputation. He emphasized that while a reputation takes an entire career to build, it can be undone by a single careless mistake.
Award recipient Tim Kane is president and CEO of Goodway Technologies, a manufacturer of industrial maintenance solutions serving the HVAC, facility management, food and beverage, manufacturing, energy, utilities and maritime industries. He pointed out that younger employees want more responsibility earlier and a stronger investment in development, building a connection between the company’s growth and their personal growth. He said if young employees can see a future at the company and feel like they’re helping shape it they’re far more likely to stay.

connected to their work, their growth, and the community the hospital serves. He said the hospital has been creating real opportunities for employee advancement and skill development.
According to honoree Glen LeBlanc, executive vice president and chief lending officer at the Fairfield County Bank, community banking extends far beyond banking, and strives to build deep, meaningful partnerships within the communities. He said that it is important to redefine loyalty as mutual and not one sided. Employees, especially younger ones, must know that their growth is important to management.
Honoree Corine Lurry-Mabin is president and CEO of Andrus, a non-profit organization located in Westchester with a campus in Yonkers that is dedicated to providing mental health, educational, and other services.

Honoree Martin G. Morgado has been president and CEO of Ives Bank since 2016.

Another recipient of a Westfair C-Suite award was Anthony Pili, senor vice president and chief innovation officer at Orange Bank & Trust Company. When he served in the role of the bank’s director of cash management, he helped lead Orange Bank & Trust to be a tech-
nology leader in digital banking and payments. He said that loyalty, especially when dealing with younger employees, is a two-way street built on transparency. He said that he provides his team with direct insight into C-Suite decision-making and the obstacles being faced. He said that having employees help draw the roadmap a company is following develops a level of ownership that makes the cost of leaving far higher than the cost of staying.

She doesn’t believe values have to be compromised to remain competitive and leans on creativity as her greatest asset.
A C-Suite Award went to Marissa Weidner, executive vice president and chief corporate responsibility officer for Webster Bank, which has more than $85 billion in assets. Weidner says that integrity, collaboration, accountability, agility, respect, and excellence are not slogans for Webster Bank. Rather, they are the standards that guide the bank’s decisions, especially when the pressure is on. She explains that her role is to ensure those values don’t bend when the stakes rise. Weidner says that if an opportunity requires the bank to compromise values, it’s not the right opportunity.
Supporters of the 2026 C-Suite Awards were: Action Entertainment; Andrus; The Building & Realty Institute of the Hudson Valley; Cuddy & Feder LLP; Sharc Creative; and Webster Bank. Christina Dufour and Michael Crystal attended and offered advice on creating clear and engaging presentations.

“When good Americans die, they go to Paris,” Oscar Wilde famously quipped, although over the summer months he might have reworked it: “When especially good Americans die, they go to the Riviera.”
Because, come the summer, the French Riviera, made fashionable by the British aristocracy toward the end of the 19th century – a popularity consolidated by well-heeled, well-connected and occasionally charmingly dissolute Americans in the Roaring ’20s – really is heaven.
But with around 150 miles of beaches and coastline, the next question is where to go – or perhaps, where to base yourself?
My answer to that is Antibes, which lies between Nice, capital of the Côte d’Azur and Cannes. Neither as urban as the former nor as flash as the latter, it’s the perfect size resort. And it’s a gem.
Antibes has a 16th-century fort and a magnificent port, a beautiful Promenade du Soleil and graceful public gardens. And culturally, Antibes punches well above its weight, with a rich offering that includes superb musical events, artist trails and splendid museums – one of which is the town’s highly regarded Picasso Museum.
Antibes also has villas and mansions galore, many of them (or their gardens)
open to the public, like the Villa Eilenroc – once owned by American businessman Louis-Dudley Beaumont. Or the sienna-colored castle, Villa la Vigie, once owned by the American gas magnate and philanthropist Frank Jay Gould and his wife, Florence.
(His local claim to fame was that he and his siblings inherited Lyndhurst in Tarrytown from their father, railroad tycoon Jay Gould.) And then there’s the glorious, all-white Château des Juan-les-Pins, built around 1860, once the residence of Queen Emilie of Saxony and later the home of Rudolf Valentino.
Yes, you may well sigh.
Antibes–Juan–Les–Pins, as the town is correctly styled, incorporating its smaller but busier neighbor “Juan,” also has excellent restaurants and stores – from big name fashion houses to charming independents – as well as one of the best outdoor food markets on the Riviera, and yet it improbably retains an almost village-y vibe.
And as if all of this were not enough, Antibes has a beautiful new hotel, Villa Miraé, open just a year and a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux association. It’s located in Cap d’Antibes, an essentially calm, excusive promontory, which has a kind of discreet, King’s Point, Long Island,
feel to it, but with palm trees, bougainvillea, plumbago and agapanthus replacing Long Island’s, maples, ferns and black-eyed Susans.
The hotel was celebrating its first birthday on the evening I arrived, and so was en fête, which is to say gently partying. This came as a surprise to me, but a delightful one. A jazz band played Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran numbers in a kind of slow-tempo smooch, while waiters circulated among the well-dressed guests, making figures of eight with their trays of mini croque monsieurs and strips of pissaladière, the classic Niçois preparation of tomato and anchovy on flatbread. Bartenders poured glasses of Laurent-Perrier Brut Champagne from magnums, and celebrity chef Mauro Colagreco, whose 3-Michelin star restaurant Mirazur is along the coast in Menton, and who is taking over the restaurants at Villa Miraé, introduced his kitchen brigade. It was a night to remember and a great start to my stay.
Next morning, breakfast in the Villa Miraé’s courtyard was quite the sensory experience, with buttery baby croissants, superb jams, yogurt from cows which I was told grazed nearby, omelettes made to order on the terrace with eggs from happy hens – and beautiful fruit, all just coming to season. Almost everything was local because, in the South of France, “local” tends to
“Antibes also has villas and mansions galore, many of them (or their gardens) open to the public, like the Villa Eilenroc – once owned by American businessman Louis-Dudley Beaumont.”
mean the best there is.
But breakfast was only a prelude to what was to come. At lunch at the hotel’s Miraé terrace restaurant, carpaccio of gamberoni, spotlighting raw prawns, followed by a slow cooked shoulder of lamb, perfumed with the herbs of Provence, were the standouts, while at dinner at Amarines, the hotel’s “gastronomic” restaurant, wonderful local fish and shellfish, along with Colagreco’s signature “tiger” veal – from a rare breed of Corsican cattle – took center stage.
Villa Miraé’s swimming pool isn’t huge, and therein lies its beauty – just the right amount of space you need between your own luxurious chaise longue and your neighbor’s but still an intimate, all-pervading pool ambiance. And for beach lovers, there is a private deck across the street, with beach access, (although it should be noted that the area behind the beach is currently undergoing a major redevelopment). The hotel also has a small wellness center, located in a cabin in the grounds.
Did I mention the guest rooms? There are 35 of them, each with its own private terrace. I was hardly ever in my mine, which was a pity, because it was beautifully appointed, with its own dressing room, sitting area and, yes, a generously-sized terrace. Using frescoes and mosaics inspired by the Azurean heritage and motifs paying homage to Jean Cocteau and Henri Matisse, French-born designer Oscar Lucien Ono has done a wonderful job, not only in the guest rooms and suites but throughout the entire property. I found Villa Miraé to be thoroughly friendly, sophisticated certainly but subtle and restrained. But, of course, if it’s high-octane glamour you’re after (and if you’re happy to pay an arm and a leg for a glass of Provençal wine or a gin and tonic, in contrast to Villa Miraé’s relatively modest prices), you can always visit the nearby world-famous Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, which was the inspiration for Gausse’s Hotel des Étrangers in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Tender is the Night.”
Then again, no matter where you stay, or dine, or simply hang out, what really survives in Antibes is not glamour exactly but the memory of people who once believed in it completely. And that is certainly good enough for me.

Early retirement: It’s not just for the rich
By CHRIS KAMPITSIS AND BEN SOCCODATO
It’s the dream of many — retire early so you can live the life you really want to live. But is it feasible? With careful planning, you can work around those important milestones like age 59 ½ for penalty-free withdrawals from your 401(k) and/or Roth IRA, and age 65 for Medicare eligibility. Here’s what to consider if retiring early is on your radar:
Start with a real plan — The first step is sitting down with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and getting clear on two things: Do you have enough money, and where will the money come from? That second question is where strategy really matters. Where will you access funds?
Non-retirement accounts are often
the first place to look. Brokerage accounts, life insurance cash value, savings and certificates of deposit (CDs) can all provide liquidity without penalty at any age. Building these assets as part of your overall plan is one of the smartest things you can do if early retirement is the goal. Rule 72(t), or penalty-free withdrawals from retirement accounts at any age — Most people don’t know this exists. Rule 72(t) allows you to take early withdrawals from retirement accounts such as IRAs, old 401(k)s and 403(b)s without the 10% Internal Revenue Service (IRS) penalty, regardless of your age.
The catch is that payments must follow what’s called a Series of Substantially Equal Periodic Payments
“The tradeoffs are that it only applies to your most recent employer plan, and you must be at least 55 when you separate from service.”
(SEPP). Once you start, you can’t stop or change the payments until you reach 59½ or the account is depleted. It requires commitment, but it’s a powerful tool.
Rule of 55: More flexibility, but with conditions — If you retire at 55 or older, the Rule of 55 may give you more flexibility than 72(t). It allows penalty-free distributions from your most recent employer’s 401(k) and, unlike SEPP, you can take funds on an as-needed basis without locking into a fixed schedule. The trade-offs are that it only applies to your most recent employer plan, and you must be at least 55 when you separate from service.
Don’t overlook your Roth IRA Contributions to a Roth IRA can be withdrawn at any time, tax-free and penalty-free, for any reason. That makes it one of the most flexible assets in an early retirement plan. Just keep in mind that earnings are only acces-
sible penalty-free once you’re 59½ and the account has been open for at least five years.
Plan for health care — This is one of the most overlooked costs in early retirement. Without employer coverage, health-care expenses can be significant. Factor this in early. It can make or break an otherwise solid plan. Use low-income years strategically — Early retirement often means lower taxable income, and that’s actually an opportunity. It may be the ideal time to execute Roth conversions, moving money from pretax accounts into a Roth at a lower tax rate, setting yourself up for tax-free income down the road.
Early retirement isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. It’s for anyone who plans with intention.

For a special Fourth, try easy-care patriotic container gardens
Add some red, white and blue to your gardens and containers in celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States. When designing your plantings, be sure to select plants suitable for the growing conditions and those that will look great not only on the Fourth but throughout the growing season.
White petunias, alyssum and dusty millers are traditional favorites. These along with red geraniums and zinnias and blue salvia, ageratum and petunias are often used to complete a patriotic combination.
Consider trying something new for this special celebration. Suntory Flowers Soiree Kawaii vincas (Catharanthus) retain their beautiful compact shape and impressive floral display all season long and with minimal care. The Lady Liberty Mix features Red Shades, White Peppermint and Blueberry Kiss Soiree Kawaii varieties. You may also know these and other Catharanthus as annual, rose and Madagascar vinca. The Soiree Kawai varieties like the other vincas are heat
and drought tolerant once established. Grow them in full sun or dappled shade with well-drained soil in garden beds and containers filled with a quality potting mix. Plant somewhere you can enjoy their flowers and the visiting butterflies and other pollinators. You’ll appreciate their easy-care nature, pollinator appeal and resistance to deer and rabbits.
Let your red, white and blue arrangement shine in a simple black, green or terra-cotta pot. Or fill containers with all white, red or blue flowers set in a red, white and blue pot. Purchase one or create your own from a plain terra-cotta pot or upcycled items like coffee cans, buckets, food tins and crates. Select a paint appropriate for the container’s surface and the outdoors. Add drainage holes if necessary and possible. If you can’t provide needed drainage, grow the plants in a basic nursery pot. Set this container in your patriotic pot and use stones to elevate the inner container to the proper height and above any water that collects in the bottom. Dress it up a bit by covering

the surface with decorative moss or mulch.
Give your containers of herbs and tropical plants a festive touch with some additional color. Place red, white and blue bandanas or placemats under these pots and your place settings.
Welcome guests with a few stars painted on the lawn with grass safe marking chalk spray. Just create cardboard stencils and head out to the lawn. Check the label of the paint you select to make sure it is safe to use on grass plants.
As you gather with friends and family, take some time to celebrate the contributions by individuals and organizations that have been instrumental in the creation and preservation of our democracy. It is also a chance to look forward to the future we want to create.

John Ravitz retiring from BCW; Noam Bramson joining organization
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
John Ravitz, executive vice president and COO of the Business Council of Westchester (BCW) plans to retire effective Dec. 31, after fifteen years with the organization. The BCW has named Noam Bramson, the former mayor of New Rochelle, as executive vice president for government affairs and economic development. Bramson will join the BCW effective July 1.
Prior to joining the BCW, Ravitz served six terms as a New York state assemblyman representing the East Side of Manhattan. During his twelve years in the legislature, he served as assistant minority leader and assistant minority whip, was the ranking member of the Health Committee, and served on the Higher Education, Education, Mental Health, and Children and Families committees.
Ravitz also served as CEO of the American Red Cross in Westchester
County and COO of the American Red Cross’ Greater New York Region.
Bramson served as mayor of New Rochelle from Jan. 2006 through Dec. 2023.
During his tenure, the city experienced dramatic changes through extensive downtown development. He also was at the helm when New Rochelle experienced the first Covid outbreak in the eastern U. S.
From Jan. 2024 through March 2026, Bramson served as executive director of Sustainable Westchester, a nonprofit intermunicipal consortium focused on providing clean energy. In this capacity, he worked closely with BCW’s Clean Energy Action Coalition and with state, county, and local leaders across the region.
“We will all miss John deeply,” said Dr. Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of the BCW. “He has been a role model not only for our organization but for business associations through-
out the state and beyond, setting the gold standard for how to represent members effectively at every level of government. He has developed countless initiatives that have defined the BCW and made us what we are today. He will be greatly missed. At the same time, we could not be more enthusiastic about welcoming Noam Bramson to our team. His experience as mayor of one of Westchester County’s most dynamic cities, and his first-hand role in overseeing its extraordinary economic transformation, makes him an outstanding choice to fill John’s very big shoes. We are so proud and pleased to have him join us.”
According to Jamie Schutzer, chairman of BCW’s Board of Directors, “Under John’s leadership, the BCW emerged as the region’s most effective advocate for business. We are confident that Noam’s distinguished record of leadership, strategic acumen, and government expertise will build meaningfully upon this strong foundation and further elevate the BCW to new heights.”
Tompkins Community Bank changing its name
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Tompkins Financial Corporation, headquartered in Ithaca, says it is rebranding its bank Tompkins Community Bank as Tompkins Bank & Trust. Tompkins reports having more than 54 banking offices serving New York and Pennsylvania. Founded in 1836, Tompkins Community Bank serves the Western, Central and Hudson Valley regions of New York and the Southeastern region of Pennsylvania. Branches include those in Yonkers, Sleepy Hollow, Pleasantville, Mount Kisco, Putnam Valley, Mahopac, Brewster, and Hopewell Junction.
“The new name better reflects who we are today and the strength of the relationships we have built over generations,” said Stephen Romaine, president and CEO of Tompkins Financial Corporation. “While our name is evolving, our purpose remains the same: to serve as a trusted financial partner and to help our customers, businesses and communities thrive. We are proud of our history, excited about this next chapter, and deeply committed to continuing to meet the needs of the communities we serve.”
Charles J. Guarino, senior vice president and chief banking operations officer, told Westfair’s Westchester County Business
Journal, “While there will be subtle changes to our logo to reflect the new name, we are not planning any major revisions to our branding.”
Guarino said that an updated bank logo will be released at an appropriate time after regulatory approval.
“We are following the required New York state requirements for a name change,” Guarino said. “Initially, this requires an application to be submitted to the Department of Financial Services. After a commentary period, they will approve or deny the request at which point (assuming approval) the bank will move forward with updating its name across documents and materials used by the bank as soon as feasible. As of the effective date of our change, Tompkins plans to operate under the new name immediately with updates to signage and advertising materials made over the course of 2026.”

CT health insurers file for double digit premium increases
Four Connecticut-based health insurers have filed for premium rate increases from nearly 13% to 23% in 2027, according to the Connecticut Insurance Department. There are five filings made by four health insurers for plans that currently cover approximately 220,000 people (157,000 individual and 63,000 small group).
“These filings reflect a broader challenge facing Connecticut’s healthcare system,” Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Josh Hershman. “Connecticut families are under increasing pressure from rising healthcare costs, and the current trajectory is unsustainable.”
Anthem Health Plans and ConnectiCare Benefits Inc. (CBI) have filed rates for both individual and small group plans that will be marketed on and off Access Health CT, the state-sponsored health insurance exchange. ConnectiCare Insurance Company Inc. (CICI) filed individual rates for OFF the exchange and UnitedHealthcare filed small group rates OFF the exchange. This year there is a decrease in the number of rate filings because UnitedHealthcare and ConnectiCare have each notified the state of

planned internal insurer consolidations. Both companies will remain active in Connecticut’s health insurance market, and consumers will continue to have coverage options available from these companies for the 2027 plan year. Consumers affected by these changes will receive information from their insurer prior to renewal explaining any impacts and available coverage options.
The 2027 rate proposals for the individual and small group market are on average lower than last year for individual and higher than last year for small group:
The proposed average individual rate request is a 16.2% increase, ranging from –3.4% to 25.2% by plan. This compares to 23.3% percent request for 2026.
The proposed average small group rate request is a 17.8% increase, ranging from 11% to 23.3% by plan. This compares to 13.1% average request for 2026.
Specifically, Anthem has filed for a 12.8% rate increase for individual and 17.4% rate increase for small group.
ConnectiCare Benefits filed for a 22.7% increase for individual. UnitedHealthcare filed for a 18.9% increase for small group.
“The state insurance department will conduct actuarial reviews on each filing to determine if they are justified and will either approve, reject or modify the request.”
According to the insurance department, insurance carriers listed the following reasons for the proposed increases:
Trend: Trend is a factor that accounts for rising health care costs, including the cost of prescription drugs and the increased demand for medical services.
Experience: Experience adjustment necessary to reflect deteriorating experience from the prior rating period to the current rating period.
Expiration of the Enhanced federal subsidies (Individual only): Adjustment needed to experience year to reflect the increased morbidity with a market contraction as more healthy
lives will lapse with significant increases in premium.
The state insurance department will conduct actuarial reviews on each filing to determine if they are justified and will either approve, reject or modify the request. The minimum 30-day public comment period on all filings began June 5. Comments can be filed online through the link that accompanies every filing or can be delivered to CID at P.O. 816, Hartford, CT 06142-0816.
The department expects to make final rulings on the proposals in early September. Open enrollment for the 2027 coverage year is expected to begin on Nov. 1, 2026.

Connecticut Enacts Sweeping Workforce and Employment Reforms Under HB 5003
By Marc T.. Finer, Principal, Cummings & Lockwood LLC
Overview
Governor Ned Lamont signed House Bill 5003, An Act Concerning Workforce Development and Working Conditions in Connecticut, into law on May 11, 2026. The Act introduces broad changes affecting wage transparency, workplace accom modations, contractor liability, and employee protections across multiple industries. Below is a concise overview of the provisions most relevant to employers.
Mandatory Wage Transparency in Job Postings
HB 5003 significantly expands Connecticut’s wage transparency requirements. Connecticut law currently requires employers to disclose a wage range upon the request of a job applicant, or when tendering an offer of employment. The bill now requires that employers include the wage range and a general description of benefits in all public and internal job advertisements. The law also strengthens anti‑retaliation protections, extending the statute of limitations for claims to two years.
Ban on Stay- or-Pay Training Repayment Agreements
The Act prohibits most training‑repayment promissory notes, expanding an existing ban that previously applied only to large employers. Agree
ments requiring repayment of advances, property costs, or sabbatical leave remain permissible.
Mandatory Lactation Accommodations
Employers must now provide reasonable break time for employees to express breast milk, in addition to standard breaks. Employers must also make reasonable efforts to provide a private, intrusion‑free room with access to refrigeration or permit an employee provided portable cold storage device in which the employee can store the employee’s breast milk, including access to an electrical outlet.
New ADA Accommodation Notice Requirements
All employers must provide written notice of employees’ rights to reasonable accommoda tion under the ADA:
• To new hires at the start of employment;
• To existing employees within 120 days of October 1, 2026; and
• To any employee who notifies the employ er of a disability, within 10 days.
Posting a compliant Labor Commission notice satisfies this requirement.
Changes to Teacher Termination Procedures
HB 5003 aligns the standard for reviewing
termination of tenured teachers with the standard used for other disciplinary actions under collective bargaining agreements. Hearings must now be conducted before a mutually selected impartial hearing officer or through the American Arbitration Association using its expedited selection process.
Joint and Several Liability for Wage Theft in Construction
Beginning January 1, 2027, general contractors will be jointly and severally liable for unpaid wag es owed by subcontractors. Employees may sue the subcontractor, the contractor, or both, after providing 30 days’ notice. Any contractual waiver of this liability is unenforceable.
Job Security for Service Contract Workers
Entities taking over service contracts at covered locations must retain the existing workforce for 90 days. As the document states, covered locations include multifamily residential buildings with 50 or more units; commercial centers occupying more than 75,000 square feet; municipal office buildings; public or nonpublic schools; cultural centers; shopping malls or bank branches; industrial sites; pharmaceutical labs; airports; train stations; warehouses, distribution centers, or other facilities with the primary pur pose of storage and distribution; and indepen
dent institutions of higher education. Workers may not be terminated during this 90 day period absent just cause, and employers must conduct a performance evaluation at the end of the 90 days. Following the 90 day period, employers must continue to employ workers whose performance is deemed satisfactory.
Enhanced Workers’ Compensation for Assaulted Education and Healthcare Workers
Educators and healthcare providers assaulted in the course of their duties are entitled to 100% of their average weekly earnings, plus reimburse ment for medical expenses and lost wages related to court appearances. Time away from work due to the assault related injury or court appearanc es cannot be charged to sick leave, vacation, or personal time off.
