Ronald Hicks, archbishop of New York, presides over Sacred Heart Church in Hartsdale’s centennial

Ronald Hicks, the recently installed archbishop of New York, officiated at the Mass celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Church of the Sacred Heart in Hartsdale Sunday, June 14.

“Besides a substantial number of Spanish-speaking parishioners, the church has a strong Korean community, which treated Hicks and the congregation to some Koreanstyle drumming after the service.”

The gracious, personable Hicks, who addressed some 400 congregants in English and fluent Spanish, spoke not only of the church's past accomplishments and remembrances but of a present filled with love and a future guided by hope.

He also noted that on June 11, he and brother bishops of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops gathered in Orlando, Florida, to consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion that stems from the revelations of a 17th-century French nun, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Parishes nationwide are encouraged to join the consecration, part of the celebration of America's 250th birthday. For Sacred Heart Church, the consecration dovetailed with its own feast day and centennial.

Besides a substantial number of Spanish-speaking parishioners, the church has a strong Korean community, which treated Hicks and the congregation to some Korean-style drumming after the service. There was also a buffet of international fare that reflected the multicultural parish.

Cohen Veterans Network starts PTSD public awareness campaign

STAMFORD – Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) has launched a public awareness campaign for PTSD victims.

The Stamford-based nonprofit, which is a global not-for-profit integrated network of mental health clinics for post-9/11 veterans, service members and their families, announced Monday, June 1, its “Retrain Your Brain: PTSD Treatment Works.” The campaign aims to reduce stigma surrounding posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and raise awareness of effective, evidence-based treatments as June marks PTSD Awareness Month.

PTSD is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault. According to the U.S.

Department of Veterans Affairs, about 7 out of every 100 veterans will experience the condition at some point in their lives.

“PTSD can feel like being stuck in patterns or memories that are difficult to change,” said Dr. Anthony Hassan, president and CEO of Cohen Veterans Network. “We’re challenging that sense of hopelessness by emphasizing effective, evidence-based treatments and the real outcomes they deliver. With the right care, the brain can learn new ways of responding, and people can see real improvement.”

Research shows that evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for PTSD are effective, with up to two-thirds of military members and veterans experiencing clinically meaningful improvement in symptoms. Such treatments include

four gold-standard, trauma-focused therapies:

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps individuals identify and challenge trauma-related thoughts that keep them stuck; Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), which supports healing through gradual, guided engagement with trauma memories and avoided situations;

Written Exposure Therapy (WET), a structured, short-term approach centered on written exercises; and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which helps people process traumatic memories through guided eye movements.

These evidence-based treatment options are available across CVN’s Cohen Clinics.

In addition to PTSD, the network treats a wide variety of mental

health concerns, including depression, anxiety, military transition challenges, anger, grief and loss, family issues, relationship problems, and children’s behavioral problems.

Care is available in-person and via CVN Telehealth, face-to-face video therapy. There are currently 23 Cohen Clinics serving 22 states and the District of Columbia, and five clinics on US military bases in Asia opening soon. Since its inception in 2016, CVN has treated more than 102,000 clients and delivered nearly 923,000 clinical sessions.

Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) is a 501(c)(3) global not-for-profit philanthropic organization that was philanthropist and billionaire Steven A. Cohen of Greenwich who owns the Point72 hedge fund with a commitment of $275 million to build the network.

PEHT nonprofit buys The Pantry

FAIRFIELD – The Pantry will add benefactor to its mission as one of a handful of family-owned markets and food supply businesses that operate downtown. Through a unique transaction with a Cos Cob-based nonprofit that helps victims of human trafficking, The Pantry is now a subsidiary of the Partnership to End Human Trafficking (PEHT), according to Katie Rolleri, CFO and COO of the organization as well as part of the family that owned the market for 23 years.

The acquisition gives PEHT its second social enterprise subsidiary. It began operating the PEHT Shop gift shop at nearby 1630 Post Road in December 2024. The Pantry is located at 1580 Post Road.

“I’m so excited,” Rolleri, who oversees PEHT’s social enterprise program, told Westfair Business Journal. “On a daily basis, we see the impact that employment has on the survivors. To be able to step into a larger business and offer more employment opportunities and put funding back into our larger employment program is so significant to PEHT.”

She reiterated that PEHT plans to keep The Pantry operating as it always has. But now it will have another pool of employees to choose from thanks to PEHT.

“We recognize this business is a staple for the community,” she said. “The first thing people are asking us is, ‘Oh my gosh, are you changing this or are you doing that?’ We are going to keep The Pantry the way it is. The way should think about it is instead of the proceeds going to individual owners, it’s going into a nonprofit that is doing some really awesome things in the community.”

Rolleri described what it took to pull off the deal. “We did have to work through some of the legal barriers,” she said. “This is still a for-profit business that is run by a nonprofit.”

In order to sort through those machinations, Rolleri and her uncle worked with her father, John, who is a CPA. Another Rolleri brother was responsible for The Pantry accounting throughout the years.

According to GrantStation, when a nonprofit purchases a for-profit, the for-profit then exists as a subsidiary of the nonprofit organization. This

“On a daily basis, we see the impact that employment has on the survivors. To be able to step into a larger business and offer more employment opportunities and put funding back into our larger employment program is so significant to PEHT.”

means that they are separate legal entities, though the for-profit may distribute its profits to the parent nonprofit. The important takeaway here is that since they are separate, the nonprofit business itself retains its tax-exempt purposes.

For Rolleri, who grew up around The Pantry when her uncle Andy Rolleri started it in 2003, the “marriage” of her uncle’s business with her organization that serves victims of commercial sexual labor trafficking was a labor of love.

“I had the inside information that he was looking to move outside the country,” Rolleri said. “He’s retiring. We had a conversation about what it would be like for PEHT to acquire The Pantry. We spent a very long time vetting this.”

One of the key reasons for the acquisitions is that it will give the survivors a chance to work at a more established local business in addition to the gift shop.

“We employ the women in our program,” she said. “That includes financial literacy classes that happen over a number of weeks. We do things like conflict in a workplace, soft skills for being in a workplace.”

While Katie Rolleri was never directly involved in The Pantry business, she does have substantial financial expertise as a business and operations

leader with more than 16 years of experience driving growth and sustainability across nonprofit organizations and small-to-midsize businesses.

The Pantry will continue to employ Kirsten Guldbrandsen as director of Culinary Operations.

“As we move forward, our priority is simple: The Pantry you know and love is here to stay — from the recipes and traditions to the quality, team, and welcoming atmosphere that have made it such a special part of Fairfield for generations,” she and Katie wrote in a recent Facebook post. “Our focus is on honoring that legacy while continuing to thoughtfully invest in its future.”

Gov. Lamont proposes sweeping utility reforms

HARTFORD – Gov. Ned Lamont has unveiled a comprehensive package of utility accountability reforms designed to lower energy costs, increase competition, and put ratepayers first. This comes less than two months before the governor faces a primary for the Democratic nomination for his seat from state Deputy Speaker Josh Elliott of Hamden.

Joined by legislators and advocates, the proposal builds on years of action by the Lamont administration to address Connecticut’s persistently high electricity costs. These efforts include the 2020 “Take Back Our Grid Act,” negotiations that secured the Millstone nuclear power contract, which is saving ratepayers an estimated $450 million this year, and reductions in public benefits charges that are already lowering monthly bills for Eversource and United Illuminating customers.

“People are angry when they look at skyrocketing electric bills,” Lamont said. “The 20th century utility model is no longer built for Connecticut families; it’s built to serve utility shareholders. For too long, ratepayers have been treated as a captive source of revenue while profits climbed and bills followed.”

Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz interjected that lobbyists bills and other utility expenses are being paid by ratepayers.

“When Connecticut residents are struggling with high electric bills, they should not be paying for corporate lobbyists or other utility expenses that have nothing to do with delivering reliable service,” she said. “Governor

Lamont and I believe utilities must be held accountable for every dollar they ask ratepayers to spend. These reforms put consumers first and make it clear that utilities must earn the public’s trust, not take Connecticut families for granted.”

The proposals include the following proposed reforms:

• Require the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to consider ratepayer affordability, including household energy burden, when setting utility rates, rate of return, and authorized capital structure. This ensures that utility profits are checked against what Connecticut families can actually afford to pay.

• Require electric distribution companies (EDCs) to have their franchise agreements, which grant utilities the

exclusive right to serve customers, renewed by PURA on a regular basis, and establish an orderly transition process if a franchise is not renewed. Utilities must continually earn their right to operate as a monopoly.

• Require EDCs to file cost-effectiveness analyses before undertaking large grid upgrades that would ultimately be recovered through rates.

• Grant the Office of Consumer Counsel (OCC) subpoena authority when it suspects utilities have violated the law, and update OCC’s statute to allow for expanded use of independent experts to counter utility applications, giving Connecticut’s utility watchdog the tools it needs to effectively advocate for ratepayers.

• Allow new utilities to compete with existing EDCs by permitting them to

build fuel cells or solar installations, upgrade grid infrastructure, and connect directly to residences, an expansion of existing microgrid policy that would drive down costs through competition. Encourage regional grid operators to ensure robust competition for transmission infrastructure projects.

• Impose penalties for failure to deploy cost-effective technology and establish that EDCs act imprudently when they fail to timely deploy cost-effective technologies that would help lower individual customer bills or reduce costs across the grid, and align utility performance incentives accordingly.

• Impose caps on authorized return on equity so that it does not exceed the cost of capital.

• Reinforce PURA’s performance-based tools by incentivizing utility cost controls and aligning profits with performance.

“Rates are coming down, the Millstone nuclear contract is delivering hundreds of millions of dollars in savings for ratepayers, and we’ve taken steps to reduce monthly bills through cuts to public benefits charges,” Lamont said. “These are concrete results that are already putting money back in people’s pockets. If utilities want to raise rates, they’ll have to prove they’ve earned it and Connecticut families will have a watchdog with real teeth to make sure they do.”

Westchester launches new $25M affordable housing fund

Westchester County will begin on June 17 to accept applications from developers and others involved in building affordable housing for funding through the program Housing Flex Fund II, County Executive Ken Jenkins and Planning Commissioner Blanca Lopez announced on June 15.

Flex Fund II follows on the heels of the first Flex Fund program, which committed $90 million to create 1,250 affordable homes across the county. The application period for Flex Fund II opens on June 17 and will remain open through Aug. 21. Funds are anticipated to begin being paid early in 2027.

The funding was added to the county’s budget by Jenkins and approved by the Board of Legislators, according to Lopez.

Through Housing Flex Fund II amounts of up to $200,000 can be used to complete financing needed to begin construction of new units. The county expects that the program will signifi-

Apartment project proposed for Hastings-on-Hudson

The firm Continental American RE on behalf of 16 Villard Avenue LLC is seeking approval from the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson for an apartment project that would be for active adults age 55 and up. Continental America’s founder and CEO is real estate advisor and project manager Anup Misra.

16 Villard Avenue LLC is the contract vendee to buy the 2.03-acre property at 16 Villard Ave. that currently is owned by Roman Catholic Church of Saint Matthew. The site previously was the location of the St. Matthew’s School, which has been closed since June of 2005. The approximately 15,900-squarefoot school building has remained vacant and would be demolished to make way for the apartment development. According to Attorneys Kory Salomone and Brian T. Sinsabaugh

of the White Plains-based law firm

Zarin & Steinmetz LLP, the plans call for a three-story, 60-unit rental apartment building that would be age-limited to people 55 years old and up. There also would be a clubhouse, which would be two stories.

The property has frontage on both Villard Avenue and Christie Terrace, with current access to the site from Villard Avenue. There would be a mix of 18 one-bedroom units and 42 two-bedroom units. Fifteen percent or nine of the apartments would be priced as affordable housing.

There would be 20 parking spaces provided at grade level and 67 spaces underground. Traffic circulation would be modified so that entering vehicles would use the site’s current

cantly increase affordable housing production while prioritizing developments in transit-oriented locations and areas with limited affordable housing options.

“Every family deserves access to a safe and affordable place to live,” Jenkins said.

“Housing Flex Fund II is another example of Westchester County’s commitment to investing in solutions that create housing opportunities and support long-term economic growth.”

Lopez described Housing Flex Fund II as providing developers with “an important financing tool that will help close funding gaps and bring more affordable housing projects to completion. With our support of projects that are ready to move forward and located in communities with access to transportation, jobs and amenities, this program will have a lasting impact on housing availability throughout Westchester County.”

Applicants must submit a complete funding package that includes a development proposal, project narra-

tive, financial pro forma and project budget. Eligible rental developments must provide housing for households earning 65% of the Area Median Income or below, while affordable homeownership developments may serve households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income.

“The county’s housing need is urgent and well-documented,” Lopez said. “The Housing Flex Fund II is designed to cut through one of the most persistent barriers to production; funding gaps that stall projects that are otherwise ready to go. Nonprofit and for-profit developers are both eligible to apply. We especially encourage joint ventures between experienced developers and MWBEs (Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises) as we see this as an opportunity to build new partnerships.”

Lopez said that funding will be structured as subordinate loans. Projects that will be prioritized for funding include: shovel ready; transit oriented locations; those that serve the lowest incomes possible; supportive housing; and those in places where affordable housing opportunities are scarce.

Villard Avenue driveway and vehicles would leave via Christie Terrace and Whitman Avenue.

The clubhouse would have a lounge and a community kitchen, a game room, fitness center, pet spa, bike storage, sky lounge and card room, mail and package room, management office space and maintenance storage. Outdoor amenities would include grills, a pickleball court and a bocce court.

“The target market for the project consists of active adults who are seeking to downsize while remaining close to their children and grandchildren,” Salomone and Sinsabaugh said in an application document.

“The residents will likely be retired or semi-retired, but socially and physically active without need for assistance in their daily living.”

They pointed out that the property has been owned by the Roman Catholic Church for more than a century and has been tax exempt for that entire time. They said that if the project becomes a reality the property will be put back on the tax assessment rolls. They also point out that

because of the target age for residents it is unlikely that additional children would be added to the public school system. They also say that the village will see additional shopping activity and, therefore, additional sales tax revenue.

“Importantly, the project has been designed to deliver these benefits while preserving, to the maximum extent practicable, views of the Hudson River and Palisades from neighboring properties,” Salamone and Sinsabaugh said.

The project needs some variances from Hastings-on-Hudson's zoning requirements. A 60-unit project requires a lot size of 90,000 square feet, while the proposed site has 88,617 square feet. The maximum development coverage permitted is 50% while the proposal has a total development coverage of 62.2%. The plan proposes retaining walls exceeding 6.5 feet in height within both the side and rear yard setbacks and requires a variance for that.

The applicant anticipates the project would take 14 months to construct.

Thruway bridge opened in Orange County

A $7.8 million project to replace a road bridge in the Orange County Town of Newburgh has been completed and the roadway opened to traffic.

The bridge is the Meadow Hill Road bridge that goes over I-87. The modern structure replaces a 72-yearold bridge and represents the second major Thruway bridge completed in the Hudson Valley this spring.

The Meadow Hill Road bridge, which is wider than its predecessor, adds a sidewalk and provides increased vertical clearance to improve safety.

“New York State is focused on modernizing its transportation infrastructure,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “The reopening of the Meadow Hill Road bridge by the Thruway

Authority is another example of ensuring that the roads and bridges connecting our communities remain strong and reliable.”

New York Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare made reference to a recently completed project in New Rochelle.

“In just over six weeks, we have opened two new bridges in the Hudson Valley, the North Avenue bridge over I-95 in New Rochelle and now the Meadow Hill Road bridge over I-87 in Newburgh,” Hoare said. “Both represent important investments in the future and your toll dollars at work.”

With an anticipated service life of 75 years, the new bridge (located at Thruway milepost 60.95) features an 11-foot-wide travel lane in each direction, a 6-foot-wide shoulder on the

Eye on Small Business

south side and a 5-foot-wide shoulder with a sidewalk on the north side. The project increased the vertical clearance over the Thruway from 14 feet 3 inches to 16 feet 10 inches, which the Thruway says will enhance safety and reducing the risk of bridge hits.

The new bridge is comprised of two spans and 14 steel girder sections, ranging from 86 to 120 feet in length. Safety improvements include guiderail and pavement striping.

Harrison & Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc. of Glenmont, N.Y., was the project contractor.

Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said, “Completion of the Meadow Hill Road Bridge over I-87 is great news. The addition of a sidewalk is a welcome improvement allowing for safe pedestrian passage across the new span.”

Tom’s Driving School, Greenwich

school’s instruction is built around the IPDE method — Identify, Predict, Decide and Execute — a framework designed to help drivers anticipate and respond to road hazards.

Founded in 1951 in Greenwich by Tom Ferraro Sr. and wife Frances, Tom’s Driving School was recently recognized with a Guinness World Record as Connecticut’s longest-revving driving school.

Three-quarters of a century later, the family-owned business remains firmly rooted in the community that helped shape it, teaching more than 50,000 students how to drive.

Today, the school is owned and operated by the founders’ children, Tom Ferraro Jr. and Linda Muccio, who attended Greenwich public schools and live in the town’s Riverside neighborhood. Ferraro spent years serving in the armed forces, volunteering as a firefighter and working as an auxiliary police officer before joining the family business in the early 1970s. Muccio joined the driving school in the early 1980s.

Over the decades, Ferraro has witnessed significant changes in both driver education and the licensing

process, he told the Westfair Business Journal in a recent interview. Connecticut’s requirements for obtaining a driver’s license have become more structured and comprehensive, he said, particularly for teenage drivers.

Today’s students must complete either a full driver’s education course or an eight-hour safety program after obtaining a learner’s permit. They are also required to complete at least 40 hours of driving practice before taking a road test. Parent-teen education sessions are now a mandatory component of the process, covering topics ranging from road rules and organ donation to Connecticut’s “move over” laws. Adult learners face similar requirements, with permit acquisition and safety instruction now standard steps before they can take a driving test.

While licensing regulations have evolved, Ferraro said the school’s core mission has remained unchanged — teaching safe, defensive driving. The

That emphasis on safety, coupled with decades of community trust, is what Ferraro believes has kept the school relevant in an increasingly competitive market.

“Being in business for 75 years, there are many families we have trained for three or more generations,” he said. “It is an honor to have our customers put their trust in us to teach their children how to drive safely and defensively.”

The school’s services extend well beyond traditional driver’s education. Tom’s Driving School also evaluates au pairs and provides employers with assessments of their driving abilities, particularly when the safe transportation of children is involved. The company also offers a variety of specialized instruction programs, reflecting its broad approach to driver education.

Most lessons are conducted in the Greenwich and Stamford areas, with a team of three road instructors providing behind-the-wheel training. The school’s most popular offering remains its Teen Full Course, underscoring the continued demand for comprehensive driver’s education among young motorists and their families.

Like many experienced driving professionals, Ferraro has mixed views

“Like many experienced driving professionals, Ferraro has mixed views on the increasing use of technology in vehicles”

on the increasing use of technology in vehicles. While he believes advanced driver-assistance systems can be beneficial, he cautions that drivers should not become overly dependent on them.

“The safety features can be helpful as long as drivers realize the new features are only there to help in driving safely,” he added.

One area in which Ferraro leaves little room for ambiguity is distracted driving. Instructors consistently stress the dangers associated with cellphone use behind the wheel.

“No text message or phone call is worth getting into an accident,” he said.

SPECIAL REPORT

Burke cuts ribbon for scanner suite

Burke Rehabilitation in White Plains held a ribbon-cutting on June 17 to inaugurate its new CT Scanner Suite, for which state funding of $1 million was provided.

Burke says that the on-site CT scanner will strengthen the organization’s ability to diagnose and treat patients’ illnesses and injuries, save time, improve outcomes and create a more seamless patient care experience without having to refer patients to another facility for imaging. The equipment produces digital images that can be read quickly, easily transmitted and shared by medical personnel.

The new CT Scanner Suite equipped with a modern 128-slice scanning machine was made possible through $1 million in state capital funding, including: $500,000

secured by State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins; $250,000 secured by State Sen. Shelley Mayer; and $250,000 secured by Assemblywoman Amy Paulin. The funding is part of New York’s Community Resiliency, Economic Sustainability and Technology Program.

Scott Edelman, executive director of Burke Rehabilitation said, “This investment allows our care teams to faster diagnose brain injuries on-site without patients leaving our intensive inpatient rehabilitation environment, thus further improving patient experience and clinical outcomes.”

According to Stewart-Cousins, “The opening marks an exciting advancement in the ability to diagnose and treat patients recovering from traumatic illnesses and injuries at Burke. This is exactly the kind

of targeted investment we should be making to ensure enhanced access to world-class rehabilitative care right here in Westchester.”

The 2,600-square-feet imaging suite was designed by Lothrop Associates and constructed by MACC Contracting. Burke anticipates that the suite will serve up to 350 hospital patients per year, including those suspected of having complications such as a second stroke or brain bleed. Because the scanner captures 128-slices or cross-sections in a single rotation, it can operate quickly while making very detailed images. Because it also operates faster than older scanners, it allows less radiation exposure for the patient. The new suite also will expand Burke's services by offering outpatient CT and X-ray imaging, accommodating up to 5,000 radiology appointments per year.

Optimizing aircraft scheduling with artificial intelligence

Founded in Scarsdale in December 2023, Floating Fleet AI is a multimillion-dollar AI-powered aviation operations platform that helps airlines and private aviation companies automatically optimize aircraft scheduling, crew assignments, staffing and trip planning to reduce costs, improve efficiency and make complex logistics decisions in seconds. According to its website, more than 20,000 flights are optimized each month at an annual savings of $6 million.

Founder Roger Zhan, who holds a Ph.D. in operations research from the University of Florida, cut his teeth for 10 years at CitationShares in Greenwich, part of Textron Aviation, before working for Textron in Shanghai and Wichita, Kansas. He spent five and a half years as senior vice president of data science and analytics at Wheels Up, the first private aviation company to be publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and then became chief data officer, head of insights and analytics, at Wayfair Professional, a gated B2B e-commerce platform.

Recently, the Westfair Business Journal talked with him to find out more.

Roger, thank you for speaking with us. Would you explain your business model? How are clients charged for using the platform, and what milestones tell you the company is on track for long-term profitability?

“We run a subscription model, charging clients based on the number of aircraft on the platform. We’ll break even later this year, and we have a very strong sales pipeline with operators around the world — the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Germany, Sweden and the UAE.”

Let’s talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the room. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is

everywhere right now, but we know many businesses still struggle to trust it. How do you convince aviation operators that AI can reliably help make operational decisions?

“That’s a great question. We could spend an entire conversation on this topic alone. The term ‘artificial intelligence’ has definitely been overgeneralized. There are many forms of AI, and large language models are just one of them. What we built is called ‘deterministic AI’: We model the way humans approach the scheduling problem in a very mathematical way. Scheduling a fleet of aircraft is like playing Tetris. We can play the game much faster than a human while still being able to explain every move.”

You’ve lived in Scarsdale since 2016 after starting your career at CitationShares in Greenwich in 2006. Does being based in this area rather than Silicon Valley or another tech hub help or hinder the business in any way?

“You definitely feel the difference. My roots are in Westchester County. Being based here may limit access to some quick funding, but it also lets me build the business the way I want, without outside noise.

Did you receive any assistance locally – whether through business mentors, partnerships, professional networks or community support?

“I’ve…received direct assistance from local accelerator programs, including the Hudson Valley Venture Hub, led by Bailey Burke, and the Element 46 Tech Accelerator, spearheaded by John Lynn and the Office of Economic Development.”

What was the moment when you realized there was a real business opportunity in solving scheduling problems for floating fleet operators and private aviation companies?

“That came after I left aviation. I joined Wayfair following the Wheels Up IPO in the summer of 2021…. While I was at Wayfair, a few mentors started calling me to help build tech for mid-sized fleet operators. I could see there was a gap. No one was building scheduling software for these companies at a reasonable cost.”

For readers who may dream of launching a technology company themselves, what does the process actually look like?

“I’ve spent many years thinking about the pain points and the workflow solutions. I’m a mathematician in the private aviation industry, and scheduling is more science than art, so I really found my niche. To launch a tech company, I think you need to deeply understand a pain point your customers face and assess how many other people share that pain. You want to solve a widespread problem or open up a new way of doing things. You don’t need to be the first to come up with the idea. Finding the right idea is the hardest part. Building it is relatively easy.”

Would you share what the early start-up phase looked like financially? Roughly what kind of investment was required to build the first version of the platform, and how did you fund it?

“I bootstrapped the venture from day one and worked all my waking hours. I brought on a part-time great partner early and hired my first fullstack developer about seven months in, when I absolutely needed help to bring the product to life. I also took on a few small consulting gigs for extra revenue. We also tapped into our savings. My wife has been my biggest supporter. When you factor in the opportunity cost and real expenses, the total investment is in the several-millions range, (but) the good news is that the company is worth more than that now.”

The way we were

“Trumbull created many of his most famous paintings decades after the war, in the early 19th century, when the young republic was still defining itself.”

(See our America 250 special section coming out June 29.)

We tend to see the past not only through the lens of the present but through those of nostalgia and distance. So it is with the American Revolution, which often appears like the dignified tableaux in Connecticut artist John Trumbull’s paintings.

“John Trumbull was not just an artist of the Revolution; he was also a participant, serving as an aide-decamp to George Washington,” said Carey Mack Weber, the Frank and Clara Meditz executive director of the Fairfield University Art Museum (FUAM), whose “For Which It Stands…” exhibit explores the American flag as a symbol of patriotism and protest through July 25.

“Trumbull created many of his most famous paintings decades after the war, in the early 19th century, when the young republic was still defining

itself. He responded to the strong cultural need to stabilize the memory of the Revolution, to turn it from a divisive, uncertain struggle into a shared founding myth. His paintings helped do exactly that. They emphasize unity over conflict, leadership over disorder and principle over violence. So, (it) is not simply personal nostalgia; it’s also nation-building.”

Yet, as Weber alluded, the Revolution (1775-1783) was a brutal struggle and more, a transatlantic war involving not only the colonies and Great Britain but France, Spain, the Dutch Republic and Hanover (Germany) in encounters from Canada to the Caribbean and as far west as what is now the Midwest. As depicted in filmmaker Ken Burns’ latest PBS series, “The American Revolution,” it was also the fledgling United States’ first civil war, American against American in a zero-sum struggle for identity and independence with echoes for our own time of partisanship and violence, courage and resilience.

The conflict had actually begun a decade earlier as a fight with Parliament for socioeconomic equality. (See the Stamp Act of 1765.) Still, as tensions escalated, only about one-third of the colonists chaffed under British rule, while a third or less were loyal and another third neutral. But once the rebels, or Patriots, realized that there could be no economic freedom without political freedom, the focus of ire shifted to King George III as a perceived tyrant, and the fight became more savage, visceral and existential as the Patriots went all in to eliminate the Loyalists and neutral parties like the Quakers by any means possible.

“You’re fighting a desperate war,” said local historian and tour guide Stephen Paul DeVillo, author of four books, including “The Battle of White Plains” and the recent “Westchester County in the American Revolution: A Neutral Ground” (The History Press/Arcadia Publishing, 143 pages, $24.99). “If you’re not for us, then you’re the enemy….In the end, all conflicts are us versus them.”

The not so ‘Neutral Ground’

While that desperation permeated the 13 colonies, it had a particularly searing cast in our area, where Westchester and Fairfield counties played key roles in an all-or-nothing play for freedom.

About 10% to 25% of New York, then the second largest city in the colonies after Philadelphia, burned to the ground on Sept. 20 and 21, 1776, shortly after the British took possession of it. They wouldn’t leave the city until Nov. 25, 1783.

To the north, the “Neutral Ground” of Westchester -- so called for the formidable array of geo -

graphical features, formed by the Ice Age 22,000 years ago, that made it difficult for either side to gain traction – lived up to its billing at first. Indeed, even perhaps its most famous conflict, the Battle of White Plains (Oct. 28-Nov.1, 1776) – with British Commander in Chief William Howe advancing on Chatterton Hill (now Battle Hill), where some of Continental Army Commander in Chief George Washington’s forces were arrayed, the rest being entrenched between the Bronx River and West Harrison – was a draw, DeVillo said, as British forces quit the field, and the Continental Army headed north to Fishkill and ultimately New Jersey.

Far from becoming insulated, however, Westchester and The Bronx – which formed one of the wealthiest counties in the colonies –became a devastated no man’s land of skirmishes, espionage and raids, with residents terrorized by both the pro-Patriot Skinners gang and the pro-British Cow Boys, a pejorative term, DeVillo said, that marked the first appearance of “cowboy” in the American lexicon.

In “The American Revolution: An Intimate History” (Alfred A. Knopf, $80, 581 pages), the companion to Burns’ film, co-author Geoffrey C. Ward writes: “Timothy Dwight, a Continental Army Congregational chaplain and future president of Yale, never forgot what he saw there: ‘The unhappy inhabitants were exposed to the depredations of both (armies)… They feared everybody who they saw and loved nobody.’”

And yet, out of this traumatized wasteland would come some of the most crucial contributions to the Revolutionary cause – including the July 9, 1776 approval of the Declaration and formation of New York state at the Fourth Provincial Congress of New York in White Plains; the 1780 capture near Tarrytown of British Major John André, who carried plans for West Point that might have struck the death blow to liberty; and Washington's fateful 1781 decision, made at the Odell House in Greenburgh, to forgo trying to retake New York in favor of trapping the British at Yorktown, thus ending the war.

Connecticut to the rescue

“Ground Zero”: That’s how Kathy Craughwell-Varda, senior curator of Greenwich Historical Society, describes Connecticut’s “little understood” role in the American Revolution:

“Lost in the story was how terrifying and daunting it was to live in Revolutionary coastal Connecticut.”

Fairfield County was the gateway to Patriot New England, where Greenwich (population 2,788 at the time) sent money to aid Boston during the British blockade of the

city (April 19, 1775-March 17, 1776).

Months later, starving Greenwich residents would hear the cannon fire from the Battle of White Plains, Craughwell-Varda added.

Connecticut itself didn’t lack ammunition. It would make 42,000 musket balls from pieces of the lead and gilded equestrian statue of George III that New Yorkers took down from Manhattan’s Bowling Green after the reading of the new Declaration of Independence on July 9, 1776 in what is now City Hall Park. (The horse’s swirling tale is preserved at The New York Historical, as seen on PBS’ “Lucy Worsley Investigates: The American Revolution.”)

Meanwhile, Connecticut sea captains turned privateers captured almost 500 British ships. But Great Britain destroyed the supply depot in Danbury on April 25, 1777.

Two days later, however, at the Battle of Ridgefield, 700 Connecticut militiamen -- under such generals as Benedict Arnold, a brilliant, charismatic field commander who had not yet betrayed the Patriot cause – galvanized the colony as they took a heroic stand against 1,800 British soldiers fighting their way back to the sea. Though the British would burn Fairfield and Norwalk in 1779, they would never again attempt a Connecticut invasion, freeing the militia for its key role in the turning point of the war, the Patriot victory at the Battle of Saratoga, New York, (Sept. 19, and Oct. 7, 1777).

Fairfield and its strategic Long Island Sound Shore location would also prove vital as Patriots gathered information from the Long Island-based Culper Ring, Washington’s spy network.

A nation – and a history – for all In telling the story of the Revolution that spawned a new country based on democratic ideals for everyone, local civic and cultural leaders have stressed the need to remember the contributions of Native Americans and enslaved and free Black Americans, who fought on both sides in an attempt to secure an advantage for themselves and their people; and of women, who raised funds and nursed the sick and wounded behind the front lines while also tending to children and home.

In “The American Revolution,” Ken Burns recounts the story of women, led by Esther de Berdt Reed and the Ladies Association of Philadelphia, who in 1780 raised more than $300,000 in Continental currency to support the Continental Army – only to be rebuffed by Washington. The men, he said, would only waste it on drink. Shirts were what was needed. So the women used the funds to purchase linen and sew 2,000-plus shirts for soldiers. It’s one of the most haunting motifs in Burns’ series as

Connecticut artist John Trumbull’s “Declaration of Independence” (1818, oil on canvas), which hangs in the United States Capitol Rotunda, is the quintessential American Revolutionary War-themed painting, one that looks back with nostalgia and ahead to the forging of a new nation. The Revolution itself was anything but as stately.

he imagines Patriot women -- skirts hoisted and legs bare – wading into rivers to wash such clothing, its blood stains mingling with the water.

“History is a lesson,” Westchester County Executive Kenneth W. Jenkins said. “To try to erase it or manipulate it is doing a disservice to all those folks who worked hard to be included in that ‘more perfect union.’”

It’s also the story of those who didn’t want to be part of that union (the Loyalists) or the fight (including pacifists like the Quakers). And then there were those like David Bush, the largest land and slave holder in Greenwich, who played both sides, running afoul of each. Though his businesses suffered, his property was left unscathed. (His home is now Greenwich Historical Society’s Bush-Holley House.) Others, not so lucky, were bedeviled, devastated and driven out.

Craughwell-Varda understands those who were reluctant to join or opposed the Patriot cause: “It was not a simple choice. You

“History is a lesson.” To try to erase it or manipulate it is doing a disservice to all those folks who worked hard to be included in that ‘more perfect union.”
— Kenneth W. Jenkins, Westchester County Executive

were picking a side with a makeshift army and a general (Washington), who rarely won any battles.”

A living legacy

In a way, the Revolution in Westchester and Fairfield counties was a microcosm of the larger war, a bloody enterprise that meandered from New England through the middle Atlantic states to the South, with the British winning many battles but never striking the decisive blow. It’s one of the lasting questions of the Revolution: Why did the British lose North America? When I posed this to British historian Simon Schama after the publication of his 2006 book “Rough Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution,” he said, “Because they never understood it. And you can’t hold what you don’t understand.”

Local historian DeVillo pointed to 18th-century Britain as the world’s preeminent naval power but with a smaller army, an empire that built itself “from the sea out rather than the sea in.” Having led British troops

to victory in the Battle of Bunker Hill (actually Breed’s Hill, June 17, 1775) and seen the casualties the Americans could exact, DeVillo added, British Commander in Chief Howe may have been reluctant to expend so much blood on a cause that the British believed would somehow favor them in the end.

“The British overestimated the number of Loyalists,” DeVillo said, a hubris that along with an ignorance of the tough American climate, terrain and character would prove particularly fatal and fateful at Saratoga, convincing archenemy France to enter the war on the Patriot side.

The French contribution cannot be underestimated but neither can the Patriots’ willingness in the face of British brutality to double down, give as good as they got and endure.

Yet what if the Patriots hadn’t? DeVillo said we probably would’ve become a country like Canada, part of the British Commonwealth. That might’ve had profound implications for World Wars I and II, in which our independence enabled us to build up

the manpower and industrial might to enter those wars late but decisively. Was that involvement a blood debt we owed Continental Europe for its help in the Revolution? When the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) arrived in Paris in 1917, Col. Charles E. Stanton, aide to AEF commander Gen. John “Black Jack” Pershing, stood before the grave of the Marquis de Lafayette, who had fought for American independence under Washington, and said, “Lafayette, nous voilà” (“Lafayette, we are here.”)

But Aaron Q. Weinstein, Ph.D., an assistant professor of politics at Fairfield University and faculty liaison to Fairfield University Art Museum’s “For Which It Stands…” exhibit, said that in the end, the Revolution and the nation it spawned are not about blood debt but birthright.

“America has a birthright of democracy,” he said, one that has a stake in seeing people live freely around the world. It’s a tale, he added, whose origins are not that far removed from us, a mere 10 to 12 generations: “It’s a living story.”

Eco-friendly ways to manage squash bugs

When growing pumpkins, squash, gourds and melons, watch for the squash bug.

Their feeding on these fruits and vegetables can cause leaf spotting, damage to them and in severe cases wilting of the plants.

This insect overwinters as an adult in sheltered locations under plant debris, rocks and around buildings.

The 1/3-inch to 3/4-inch gray or dark brown adults emerge in spring and begin feeding, mating and laying eggs on plant members of the squash family.

Both adults and immature nymphs move quickly and shelter under the leaves during the day. Female squash bugs lay up to 200 eggs in clusters on the underside of leaves. Look for the eggs, often where the veins meet, forming a V, and crush them to help manage this pest. There may be eggs, nymphs and adults on the plants at the same time so watch for and be prepared to manage all stages as needed.

Keep plants healthy as older, sturdier plants are more tolerant of their feeding. Consider growing these plants on trellises where the plant tends to be less susceptible to this pest.

Manage weeds, remove plant debris and avoid straw mulch that can pro -

vide hiding spots for squash bugs.

Trap these insects by placing boards on the ground near the plants. These insects will congregate under the boards overnight. In the morning, lift the boards, collect the insects and drop them into a can of soapy water.

Grow blue Hubbard squash as a trap plant for both squash bugs and squash vine borers. Plant this squash three to four weeks prior to other members of the squash family and at the perimeter of the garden at least several feet away. Both insects prefer the blue Hubbard squash, focusing their feeding on this plant instead of desirable plants. Do continue to monitor the other squash plants as well.

Placing floating row covers over seeds and transplants at planting can help reduce the risk of both squash bugs and squash vine borer. Loosely cover the planting area and secure the row cover edges to keep these pests out. Use this method where these insects were not previously a problem. Remove the cover as soon as female flowers appear for pollination and fruit formation to occur.

Rotating plantings, if space allows, is an excellent way to reduce the risk of

these and other insect pests and diseases. Crop rotation involves growing a series of unrelated crops in the same area over several years. Clean up the garden in fall by removing weeds and plant debris that can provide winter homes for this pest.

Seven Greater Danbury nonprofits receive total of $38K in arts grants

The arts in Danbury and Ridgefield are alive and thriving. Seven nonprofits in Ridgefield and Danbury were the recipients of grants from the Connecticut Arts Endowment Fund (CAEF) for a combined $38,042 in state grants to support their work.

“The Aldrich has a deep commitment to artists: every exhibition is accompanied by a publication and each participating artist receives honoraria and production support.”

The nonprofits include A.C.T. of Connecticut, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra, the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, the Danbury Music Centre, the Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra, and the Ridgefield Chorale.

According to Elizabeth Shapiro, director of arts, preservation & museums for the state Economic & Community Development, The Connecticut General Assembly established the CAEF fund to: stimulate the development of private-sector funding and to ensure the long-term stability of Connecticut’s arts industry by providing funding to organizations. Managed by the state treasurer and administered by the Connecticut Office of the arts, CAEF grants provide general operating support that organizations use for programming, administrative or operational costs, capital projects, or equipment.

“The most desirable and popular grant awards are for general operating support. GOS (general operating support) grants allow arts organizations the ability to use their expertise, their mission, and their strategic goals, to determine the best use of the funds,” Shapiro said. “This gives the arts organization the autonomy to pursue their vision of service to their many communities.”

Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield received $10,784.

“Funding from the CT Office of the Arts will advance The Aldrich’s marketing and communications efforts, ensuring broad and meaningful access to contemporary art,” said Kris Honeycutt, the museum’s director of development. “It supports promotion of exhibitions and education programs across local and national media, and helps the museum improve our on-site experience for visitors, including offering Spanish translations on all gallery wall text and enhancing digital accessibility and engagement online.”

Founded by art collector and fashion designer Larry Aldrich in 1964, The

Aldrich serves as a leading incubator for artists at critical creative junctures.

“The Aldrich has a deep commitment to artists: every exhibition is accompanied by a publication and each participating artist receives honoraria and production support,” Honeycutt said.” Providing artists with the resources they need to create inspiring and innovative new work depends on the support of grants like this. Without it, our ability to sustain and grow these opportunities would be significantly limited.”

Danbury Music Centre

The only nonprofit from Danbury to be included in the grantmaking, the center received $2,071. “The funds will be used to pay for artistic directors which directly supports our artists and artistic quality,” said Laura Flachbart, executive director. “Our organization has been grateful to receive support from the Connecticut Office of the Arts before.”

DMC is a non-profit community arts organization located at 256 Main Street in Danbury that provides classical community music experiences through ensembles and events.

A.C.T. of Connecticut

A.C.T. of Connecticut received a grant in the amount of $10,784.

“These funds will support our general operating expenses, as well as special programming such as our sensory friendly performances and our First ACT! initiatives, which provide students and individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience live theater with access to professional productions,” said Daniel C. Levine, artistic director.

“Like most nonprofit arts organizations, A.C.T. faces ongoing fundraising challenges. Ticket sales cover only 40% of our annual operating costs, so we rely heavily on donations, sponsorships, grants, and community support.”

A.C.T. of Connecticut is a professional nonprofit theater in Ridgefield dedicated to bringing Broadway-caliber productions and educational programming to Fairfield County, known for producing acclaimed musical productions featuring Broadway talent in an intimate setting.

Levine noted these grants acknowledge the important of the arts.

“Support like this recognizes that the arts are not a luxury; they are an essential part of life,” he said. Shapiro reinforced the importance of being there for the arts.

“Supporting for arts organizations is support for the creative economy as a tool for sustainable community development,” Shapiro said. “A vibrant arts ecosystem attracts and retains a skilled, innovative workforce, encourages entrepreneurship and small business growth, activates underused community spaces, improves community health and wellness outcomes, and more.”

Kingston selects development team for parking lot apartments

The City of Kingston has selected a development team to build an affordable housing and retail development on a cityowned parking lot at 65-77 N. Front St.

Last December, Kingston issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) to partially or fully redevelop the municipal parking lot, which occupies an approximately 0.7-acre site in the city’s Uptown Business District. The city was proposing an approximately 50-unit fully affordable development with mixed-use storefronts.

The city pointed out that another parking lot it owns on N. Front Street at Crown is not part of this project. The parking lot at 65-77 N. Front St. that will be developed was created in the 1960s after several mixed-use buildings on the site were demolished.

Selected for the redevelopment are Gemion Consulting LLC and Rockabill Development LLC. Gemion Consulting is a minority- and wom-

en-led real estate consulting and development firm specializing in high-quality affordable multifamily housing. Rockabill Consulting & Development has experience with the development of more than 14,000 residential units across New York, with expertise in affordable housing. Also selected to work on the development team are WRT Architects, Arden Consulting, Langan Engineering, and AHC General Contracting.

The city wants to create apartments that will be affordable to tenants earning between 30% and 80% of the Area Median Income. The redevelopment team also is expected to evaluate a range of approaches to accommodate public parking and other community needs.

“Kingston continues to face a significant need for affordable housing, and this project presents an opportunity to create new homes for local residents in a walkable location,” said the city’s Director of Housing Initiatives Bartek Starodaj.

“The city wants to create apartments that will be affordable to tenants earning between 30% and 80% of the Area Median Income.”

Kingston parking lot to be redeveloped.

“We recognize the importance of public parking to Uptown businesses, residents, and visitors, and this experienced development team will be carefully evaluating options to preserve parking access while advancing the broader community benefits of this investment. By creating

affordable housing, activating a key site in Uptown with new mixed-use development, and carefully evaluating opportunities to maintain public parking access, this project reflects our commitment to making the most of public assets for the benefit of current residents.”

Town of Northeast –Brewster Village Border –Exceptional Visibility

Looking for a location with outstanding visibility and proximity to centers of high consumption and active investment and development? This Town of Northeast assemblage is worthy of consideration.

1021/1015 Route 22 and 15-25 Sodom Rd. in the Town of Southeast (Brewster), NY, constitute a highly visible commercial property portfolio. The anchor property, 1021 RT 22 was formerly an auto dealership and service location (13,000 sf). The property and its adjacent land parcels are positioned on the market as a major retail/investment package. Encompassing approximately 8 acres of land, the portfolio can be sold as three different properties, but a portfolio sale is ideal. Industrial showrooms, machinery and equipment sales and service, auto dealership, etc. are ideal uses. Also possible are medical offices and other personal and industrial services offices. Dry uses work best

The Benefits

• Premium Highway Visibility & Traffic: Route 22 is a major north-south commercial artery in Putnam County. The property features strong road frontage (117 feet), ensuring constant exposure to high volumes of local and commuter traffic.

• Strategic Regional Connectivity: The Town of Southeast is a logistical sweet spot. This address sits right at the nexus of Interstate 84 (I-84) and Interstate 684 (I-684) and is located directly next to the Connecticut border (Danbury). This grants effortless access to markets across New York, Connecticut, and the broader Hudson Valley.

• Built-In Heavy Infrastructure: Auto dealerships are structurally designed to handle high vehicle weight loads. The service bays likely feature reinforced concrete slabs, high ceilings, and heavy-duty overhead doors—perfect for bringing in forklifts, compact excavators, or large generators for maintenance and prep.

• Massive Outdoor Staging & Storage: Industrial equipment requires immense space for inventory display. With abundant existing parking spaces and a massive, paved footprint, there is a ready-to-use yard to line up tractors, lifts, or trailers. It also provides the necessary wide turning radius for flatbeds and freight haulers delivering new inventory.

• The “Drive-By” Showroom Effect: Route 22 is heavily traveled by contractors, landscapers, developers, and fleet managers moving between Westchester, Putnam, and Fairfield counties. Large machinery parked near the 117 feet of road frontage acts as its own highly effective, passive billboard to the exact target demographic.

• Unbeatable Logistics for Delivery: Industrial equipment logistics rely on easy highway access. Being right at the intersection of I-84 and I-684 means your delivery trucks can easily transport heavy machinery north to Albany, south to NYC, or east/west across New York and Connecticut without navigating tight local roads.

Please contact Teresa Marziano, Houlihan Lawrence Commercial, for a detailed description of the features, opportunities, and risks related to this property.
