Kathie Lee Gifford puts historic Greenwich estate up for sale
By GARY LARKIN / glarkin@westfairinc.com
The second home of former Today Show host Kathie Lee Gifford has been listed for $100 million by Sotheby’s International Realty.
Gifford now maintains her primary residence in Franklin, Tenn., where she relocated to in 2019.The nearly 13,163-square-foot mansion that sits on nearly 3-acres at 108 Cedar Cliff in Riverside had been the home of Gifford and her late husband Frank Gifford, the Hall of Fame New York Giants player, sports commentator and actor, since 1994. The couple purchased the home for $7.8 million. The estate, which was built in 1930, is also known for being the property that
occupies the historic grounds of railroad magnate Henry Francis Shoemaker’s former compound—a Gilded Age legacy that later served as the backdrop for the iconic Cedar Cliff Beach Club. It is a Mediterranean villa situated on a secluded road within Riverside’s Indian Head Association.The mansion itself has 8 bedrooms, 9 full baths and 5 half-baths, according to the listing.The grounds rival those of a world-class private resort, according to the listing agent Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s. It includes a substantial stone pier and deep-water dock provide immediate access to open water, as well as a seaside tennis court with pergola and

lighting.At the water’s edge, there is a pool and spa paired with a full cabana featuring a fitness center, kitchenette, and changing rooms. Sculpted into the eastern landscape, a series of stone terraces with a bluestone bar directly overlook Greenwich Cove and the vast protected expanse of Greenwich Point Park. The estate includes a newly installed Ludowici terra cotta roof, rebuilt sun decks, custom East Wing windows, and a full-property generator. With access to a private beach and watercraft facilities, and located less than an hour from Manhattan and minutes from Westchester County Airport, the property offers a rare convergence of seclusion, scale, and global accessibility.

Gap of $2.1M in funding Mt. Hope Plaza project being closed
The White Plains Common Council has voted to allocate additional money from the city’s Affordable Housing Assistance Fund to help support an affordable housing project in the city that has experienced a cost overrun of $2.1 million.
The cost overrun affecting the Mt. Hope Plaza project at 65 Lake St. is blamed on increased construction costs due to tariffs and a high interest rate environment. The cost to build Mt. Hope Plaza originally had been projected as $40 million.
In seeking supplemental funding in the amount of $850,000 from the White Plains Affordable Housing Assistance Fund, Rev. Dr. Gregory Robeson Smith, on behalf of the Mt. Hope Community Development Corporation said that Westchester County expressed a willingness to partner collaboratively with White Plains and would contribute the rest of the needed $2.1 million.
“We believe this shared approach best reflects our mutual commitment to

problem solving and to ensuring the successful completion and timely occupancy of the Mt. Hope Plaza development,” Smith said. “We are confident that with this additional support the project will remain financially viable and will continue to meet the city’s planning, housing, and community development objectives.”
Mt. Hope Plaza has been under construction since April 2024. The six-story apartment building is being constructed on a parcel adjacent to Mt. Hope A.M.E Zion Church on Lake St.
It will offer 56 apartments for adults ages 62 and older who earn at or below 60% of the Westchester County Area Median Income. There will be 20 units for formerly homeless seniors who also will be able to receive support services through an Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative award administered by the New York State Office of Mental Health. The supportive service provider is Community Housing Innovations, Inc.
State financing for the development includes $18.8 million in Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits and $8 million in subsidy from New York State Homes and Community Renewal
(HCR). Westchester County originally was providing $2.8 million from its Housing Investment Fund. Mt. Hope A.M.E Zion Church was providing $1 million, and the City of White Plains originally contributed $400,000 from its Affordable Housing Assistance Fund. Additional financing was being provided by Webster Bank. The project’s developers are the Mt. Hope Community Development Corporation and Community Housing Innovations, Inc.
White Plains Mayor Justin Brasch said that when developers build in White Plains they can pay money into the Affordable Housing Assistance Fund instead of providing in their project the full number of apartments the city requires to be priced as affordable housing.
“It’s called a ‘payment in lieu,’” Brasch said. “It all must be used for affordable housing and this is exactly what we have it for so when somebody who is trying to build a sensible and good affordable housing project needs extra money to get over the finish line … we are making sure it gets over the finish line. We are making sure it gets done in conjunction with all of our partners. That is the purpose of this fund and I want everyone to understand what we’re using it for.”

Construction begins on $147M Wallace Campus project
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Construction has begun on the $147 million, 187-unit mixed-use affordable housing development in the city of Poughkeepsie known as Wallace Campus. The project on Poughkeepsie’s Main Street involves the transformation of the long-vacant Wallace Department Store into residences along with construction of two new buildings.
“Wallace Campus will not only create new affordable housing opportunities on Poughkeepsie’s Main Street Corridor, but will also bring new economic activity to the city and preserve an important piece of Poughkeepsie’s history,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “This is more than an investment in a project; this is an investment in downtown Poughkeepsie and its future.”
Developed by Mega Development Group and Ametrine Group in partnership with on-site social services provider Mental Health America of Dutchess County, the development transforms the former Wallace Department Store into 69 apartments and creates an additional 118 units in the two new buildings.
Mega Group Development Principal Emanuel Kokinakis said, “This transformative development is a model for
how the public and private sectors can work together to address New York’s urgent need for housing. We are proud to collaborate with Ametrine Group, Mental Health America of Dutchess County, NYSHCR, Wells Fargo, the City of Poughkeepsie and our state and local partners to reactivate this long-underutilized site in a way that will serve the needs of this community for generations to come.”
Ametrine Group President Amy Larovere added, “The reactivation of the Wallace Campus marks a pivotal moment for Poughkeepsie, creating high-quality, affordable homes for deserving individuals and families and strengthening the surrounding community.”
Units in Wallace Campus will be priced to be affordable to households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income . There will be a mix of studios, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units, and three-bedroom units. There will be 30 units reserved for tenants eligible for on-site support services, which will include home health care management, community education, and family support and advocacy. There will be eleven units to accom-
modate residents with mobility impairments and five units to accommodate residents with sensory disabilities. The development will be all-electric, with energy efficient appliances, low-flow plumbing, and motion sensors to limit unnecessary lighting usage.
The development will include more than 22,000 square feet of groundfloor commercial retail space spread across the three buildings. The project is located on the northwest corner of Main and Catharine Streets.
Originally constructed in the 1870s, the Wallace Department Store for decades was a major retail destination in Poughkeepsie until it closed in the 1970s. The building remained underutilized for decades and has been completely vacant since 2022. The department store’s limestone facade, existing stairways, and ornate dome ceiling on the fourth floor will be preserved.
Outdoor areas will be open for public use including greenspace and a new children’s play area called Wallace Green. Amenities for tenants include a game room, fitness space, movie screening room, co-working space, study hall, and bike storage room.
Funding for the project includes $58.9 million in support from the state’s Homes and Community Renewal’s (HCR) tax credit programs, $38 million from the Supportive Housing
“The reactivation of the Wallace Campus marks a pivotal moment for Poughkeepsie, creating high-quality, affordable homes for deserving individuals and families and strengthening the surrounding community.”
Opportunity Program, $5 million from the Middle-Income Housing Program, and $2 million from the Rural and Urban Community Investment Fund. The project also benefits from $1.4 million in Clean Energy Initiative funding, a partnership between HCR and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Empire State Development will provide $750,000 through its Regional Council Capital Fund Program. The project is also supported by $2.2 million from the Dutchess County Housing Trust Fund and $540,000 from its HOME Investment Partnership Program. The state’s Brownfield Cleanup Program is expected to provide $14.6 million in tax credits administered by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is facilitating the use of approximately $8 million in federal historic tax credits and $5 million in state historic tax credits.
Poughkeepsie Mayor Yvonne Flowers said, “Breaking ground on this project is a big step forward as we tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing our community: affordable housing. Creating new homes that families and hard-working individuals can afford is critical to building a vibrant city where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”
Officials gathered to mark the start of construction on Wallace Campus.
Marist plans new 100,000-squarefoot Science and Health building
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
As part of a $100 million plan to expand its facilities for academic programs in health and science, Marist University in Poughkeepsie plans to build a new 100,000-square-feet Science and Health building connecting with the existing building to form a 150,000-square-feet Science and Health Complex on its 240-acre campus.
Interdisciplinary design firm HGA, which has 12 offices nationwide, is leading the design of Marist’s new facility. HGA’s previous work includes: a biomedical research center for the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University; teaching and research labs at Dartmouth College; and an integrated health sciences facility at Lehigh University.
“This is a long term investment in Marist’s academic strength, momentum, and purpose,” said Marist University President Kevin C. Weinman.
Marist is positioning itself as major player in educating environmental scientists, chemists, microbiologists, physician assistants, registered nurses, physical therapists and other professions in science and health care.
Marist is seeking required approvals from Poughkeepsie for the new building and hopes to be able to break ground for the construction this fall with the facility opening during the 2028-29 academic year.
Marist points out that degrees in health professions and related programs are now the second most awarded bachelor’s degrees in the U.S., and that health care jobs are among the fastest-growing sectors, representing 63% of all new jobs created in January 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The National Center for Education Statistics said that at the top were
375,400 bachelor’s degrees in business awarded at the end of the last scholastic year representing 18.6% of all bachelor’s degrees awarded followed by health professions making up 13% of the total, or 263,700 degrees.
The university said it has started taking necessary steps to add a new nursing curriculum, pending state approval, in addition to a physics major that would lead into engineering programs in collaboration with other universities.
Marist recently expanded its collaboration with Vassar Brothers Medical Center and Northern Dutchess Hospital, now part of Northwell Health, giving students access to hands-on clinical experiences across more than 1,000 health care locations including 28 hospitals.
The university says laboratories in the new building will give students hands-on experience with the tools, technologies, and environments they will encounter in their careers.

Q&A: Relationship expert, TV psychologist Dr. Dale Atkins ventures
into children’s books
Dr. Dale Atkins of Greenwich is known for many things in her professional life. She is a licensed psychologist, educator, lecturer, as well as a regular on NBC’s Today Show for 22 years and CNN speaking about families, wellness, managing stress and living a balanced and meaningful life. During her more than 40 years as a practicing psychologist she has also written some books that reflect both her expertise on family life and her own personal experiences.
In the past year, she has added children’s book author to her resume with the debut of “The Turquoise Butterfly” (Mascot Kids! An imprint of Amplify Publishing) and followed that up with another book called “Dear Deer” (Mascot Books, due out June 2, 2026). Both books were inspired by real experiences with her granddaughter and an incident regarding a deer. She tells Westfair Business Journal the reason for venturing into children’s literature after writing seven professional books on families and relationships –“The Kindness Advantage”; “Sanity Savers”; “I’m Ok, You’re My Parents”; “Sisters”; “From the Heart”; “Wedding Sanity Savers”; Families and their Hearing-Impaired Children.”
Simply put, Dale said she really wanted to write something that celebrates the ability of older people and younger people to have very meaningful relationships.
Atkins has a private psychology practice in New York City and has been a member of and an advisor to several nonprofit boards, including Jumpstart for Young Children. She holds a BS in social studies from NYI, an MA in special education (deafness) from Columbia University’s Teachers College and a Ph.D. from UCLA in educational psychology.
Tell me about your career as a psychologist. What inspired you to become one?
“My career as a psychologist started as a career as teacher in special education. I was working with a population of children who had hearing losses. And so, I got my masters in what was then called education of the deaf. I worked with children who had all kinds of disabilities, mostly with children with hearing losses and language impairment. Mostly, I had worked in different parts of the world. I really loved working with families. You needed to have a lot of experience in order to be assigned families.
There was a fellowship that was offered in California, which I took. I had been working in New York and in Israel. I took that fellowship at the John Tracy Clinic in Los Angeles, which was for families of very young preschool deaf children. It was named after John Tracy, who was (actor) Spencer Tracy’s son. Their son was profoundly deaf. The Tracys were very good friends with Walt Disney and a lot of what we call the old-time actors. They built this place, which was a place to educate parents and families together.
That’s where I was given the privilege of working with the great
psychologist Dr. Althea Smith. She encouraged me, inspired me and mentored me. I ran parent groups. My dissertation was in the area of siblings. For my dissertation, I needed to have a control group for siblings with children who had disabilities and siblings who didn’t have children with disabilities.
I started doing these seminars all over the country on sisters’ relationships. This was so fascinating to me. And then people started asking me if I had a book (on the topic). I said, no, I don’t have a book. I said I should have a book. By that time, I started doing television and started doing interviews on different kinds of media."
You wound up on the Today Show at some point.
"Exactly. What happened was one of the very first shows I was on the Cable Health Network. Then I wound up writing a book."
What was the book called?
The book was called “Sisters.” You want to know something? I pitched a show to a network about sisters. They told me no one would be interested in a show about sisters. Five years later, there was a show about sisters (NBC, 1991-1996).
“ My career as a psychologist started as a career as teacher in special education. I was working with a population of children who had hearing losses.”
— Dr. Dale Atkins.
What was the first book you wrote?
"The very first one was this one, “Families and Their Hearing Impaired Children.” That was a book I edited and contributed to. The next one was “Sisters: A Practical Helpful Exploration of the Intimate and Complex Bond Between Female Siblings.” It was printed by Arbor House in 1984.
That really launched my television career when I appeared on the Phil Donahue Show, then I was on Oprah, then Montel (Williams) and Sally Jesse Raphael. The reason I was on the Today Show so many years later was that one of the producers on Sally Jesse Raphael had moved to the Today Show. She gave my name to someone on the topic of how to tell your children you lost your job. Serendipitously, I was writing an article on just that topic. That jumpstarted my career because I was on television giving advice."
How many books have you published?
"I wound up writing a book with a friend called “Wedding Sanity Savers” because I had a column and I took all those letters and wrote that. Before that I wrote “I’m OK, You’re My Parents” because I saw how many people
Dr. Dale Atkins.
had estranged relationships with their parents and then they had to take care of them. I thought we needed something about how to mend the relationships with our parents before we are in the situation of taking care of them.
Now that I’m a grandmother, I wanted to write books for parents and grandparents about changes in life and helping children adapt to what’s going on in the world with so much anxiety and addictions to devices."
I realize now as we talk that the books you have written have reflected your life and where you are going?
"It’s a reflection of my life and a reflection of what people bring into my office and what I see around me in communities when I see people not being helpful. When I see people being so anxious and concerned about things and how do they get the support. I really wanted to celebrate the ability of older people and younger people to have very meaningful relationships. I wanted them to really connect and to understand that so much of that connection is based on shared experiences and stories. We need that connection more than ever."
What was your inspiration for The Turquoise Butterfly?
"The idea for The Turquoise But-
“ The idea The Turquoise Butterfly came from my mother, Sylvia Atkins. The main character in the book is Grandma Sylvia.”
—
Dr. Dale Atkins.
terfly came from my mother, Sylvia Atkins. The main character in the book is Grandma Sylvia. She died six years ago."
So, how did The Turquoise Butterfly come about?
"I had a grandchild who when she was much younger was anxious and a bit hesitant but a bit curious. She was risk averse. I treated children like that my whole career. She and I have had the girls of summer week-long trip for five years. I wanted to honor my mother. It’s set in places where she was and all of the adventures in the book are all the adventures she had with her grandchildren. The evolution of this child who is so anxious with a patient grandmother who is a role model who loved butterflies."
How did you go about making into a children’s book with illustrations?
"I asked a friend of mine who was an editor. She said this is very long. This is 4,000 words. It has to be 750. I said, ‘Oh my God.’ She said (not to worry because) you’re going to get an illustrator and the illustrations will tell a lot of the story. It changed a lot, but it was still the same story. (Amelina Jones was the illustrator for both of Atkins’ children’s books.)"
IDA votes financial assistance for $161.3M White Plains Hospital garage
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The Westchester County Industrial Development Agency (WIDA) has voted to grant final approval of financial assistance for the construction a new 1,950-space parking garage on East Post Road in White Plains to serve White Plains Hospital and residents of the White Plains Housing Authority’s Brookfield Commons.
The applicant LC Post Road Garage LLC, a subsidiary of the Cappelli Organization, requested a sales tax exemption of $2,168,668, and a mortgage recording tax exemption of $600,000 for total assistance of $3,368,668. The parking facility will be leased to the hospital to serve its staff, patients and visitors with permits to use up to 180 spaces reserved for residents of Brookfield Commons.
“As White Plains continues its vibrant transformation into a premier
urban center, our infrastructure must keep pace with our growth,” Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said. “This new parking facility at White Plains Hospital is a vital investment in that future. By expanding capacity, we are ensuring that as our downtown population rises, our health care anchors remain accessible and efficient. Most importantly, this project honors our longtime residents by providing a modern, safe, and convenient environment that meets the high standard of care they deserve. We are strengthening the foundation of a healthier, more connected Westchester.”
It is estimated the project will create 229 construction jobs and six full-time jobs for Westchester County residents. The applicant intends to enter into a Project Labor Agreement with the Westchester Putnam Building & Construction Trades Council.
“It is estimated the project will create 229 construction jobs and six full-time jobs for Westchester County residents.”
According to White Plains Hospital President and CEO Susan Fox, “As White Plains Hospital continues to grow and advance services for our community, parking is a critical component to accessing high quality care. We are grateful for the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency’s support of this new parking facility as it is an essential part of our long-term vision. With our transformational expansion opening in 2028, this facility will allow us to meet the needs of our patients, and importantly our workforce, as we proceed with building new private patient rooms, an expanded Emergency Department, and new state-of-the-art operating rooms for our community.”
Westchester County Deputy County Executive and WIDA Board Chair Joan McDonald said, “Without the IDA’s financial incentives, essential infrastructure like this new parking garage at White Plains Hospital might not be financially feasible. By bridging
that gap, we are ensuring that our health care institutions can continue to grow and modernize, proving that when we support the hospital’s footprint, we are directly investing in the creation of new jobs and the well-being of the entire community.”

The new garage is to be built using multiple lots on East Post Road along with a portion of Brookfield Street. Existing vacant buildings that will be demolished to make way for the construction. The site includes parcels with known environmental contamination subject to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation oversight and will be remediated through a Brownfield Cleanup Agreement.
White Plains Hospital currently is in the midst of a major expansion that includes construction of a new building on the site where its former garage stood that will have a new emergency department, new operating rooms, new patient rooms and more.

Cross County groundbreaking for new retail buildings
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The start of construction on two new retail buildings, a parking garage and a park at the Cross County Center in Yonkers was marked with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Yonkers officials, executives from Marx Realty, community leaders and other invited guests.
The construction project is in an area identified as the North Lot and is described as being one of the most significant additions to Cross County Center in many years following the addition of restaurant buildings in 2015 and the redevelopment of the former Sears building with a Target store in 2023.
The project calls for the construction of a 14,000-square-foot building along with a two-story, 44,000-square-foot building and underground parking plus a 4-acre park.
Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said, “The expansion at this iconic shopping destination represents continued investment in our community, creates new jobs, strengthens our local economy, and enhances the experience for residents and visitors alike. We are proud to support thoughtful development that keeps Yonkers thriving and reinforces Cross County Center’s role as a premier regional destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment.”
According to Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty, “These new buildings will help us meet the incredible demand from retailers looking to be part of Cross County Center while creating an even more engaging and community-oriented environment for our visitors with a beautiful new 4-acre park.”
The park is to include café-style seating, gathering areas, and flexible programming space for seasonal events, farmers markets, wellness programming, and Summer Fest activities. The green space is envisioned as the new “front door” to the center.
Marx Realty has been working with GTL Construction, TPG Architecture as architect of record and Dirtworks Landscape Architecture on the design of the new park and landscaped public spaces that will anchor the redevelopment project. First opened in 1954 as the nation’s first open-air shopping center, Cross County Center today welcomes approximately 14 million visitors annually and has more than 100 retail, dining, entertainment, and educational tenants. It is located at the intersection of the Cross County Parkway and I-87 and encompasses 1.15 million square feet.

Overlooking the Hudson River in Croton-on-Hudson is a 106-plus acre estate with historic business ties, one with sweeping lawns, formal English gardens, specimen trees, cottages, equestrian facilities and rolling pastures that undoubtedly inspired its name – Rolling Stone Farm.

Eye on Small Business — Wingstop, New Rochelle
By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com
“We're not in the wing business. We're in the flavor business,” said Spencer Rubin and Avanka Kannangara, who together have 30 fried chicken franchises in the tristate area out of Wingstop’s approximately 3,000 branches nationwide.
“Eye on Small Business” connected with the pair via email to find out mor, and was particularly struck with Rubin’s answer to the question of whether adding additional franchises – their latest outlet just opened in New Rochelle – becomes progressively easier.
“The honest answer,” said Rubin, “is that the complexity scales with the portfolio. You get better at managing it, but you never stop earning it.”
Spencer and Avanka, thank you so much for speaking with the Westfair Business Journal. First, let me ask you what made you think New Rochelle was right for your new Wingstop location, and what factors convinced you the community would respond well to the brand?
“New Rochelle checked every box for us. Strong foot traffic, a dense and diverse population and a real appetite for the brand. Wingstop has incredible consumer awareness, and we knew the community would respond. It was really a matter of finding the right site and getting to work.”
We understand the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce has been supportive during the process. Tell us about the kind of assistance you received, and what advice you would give prospective franchisees about working with local chambers, councils or economic development organizations for support?
“The New Rochelle Chamber was genuinely helpful in connecting us with the right people, from economic development contacts to local stakeholders who cared about the project. For any prospective franchisee, our advice is simple: Engage early. Chambers exist to help businesses succeed, and that relationship is worth far more than most people realize.”
With Wingstops in Port Chester and White Plains in Westchester County and Bridgeport and Danbury in Fairfield County, do either of you have personal ties to the area?
“Absolutely. We've always wanted to be part of the community's growth, not just do business in it. Westchester feels like home."
As we understand it, you operate 30 Wingstop franchises under the “Eastwing” umbrella. Tell us about Eastwing itself and any other businesses perhaps that operate under that banner?
“Eastwing is our franchisee operating company, built specifically to grow a best-in-class Wingstop portfolio. We're focused exclusively on Wingstop, operating across several markets in New York and New England. The brand is all we do, and that focus is intentional.”
What about your business partnership: Are you equal franchise owners, and how do you divide responsibilities between you?
“Just to clarify, we are truly employees of the business. I (Spencer) am the CEO, leading growth strategy and development, Avanka is our senior vice president of operations and leads all people and operations. The roles are complementary, and that balance is a big part of why the business runs well.”
For readers who may be curious about franchising themselves, what kind of financial investment is typically involved in opening, say, a first Wingstop location, and how long does it realistically take before owners can expect to see a return?
“We're not in a position to share specific numbers.”
How hands-on are you in the dayto-day operation of the restaurants?
And do franchise owners generally work directly in the business, or can they take more of an investor or management role?
“Very hands-on. As you grow, you build a team you trust, and the operator's role shifts toward leadership and culture-building rather than daily execution. But we're never truly out of the business.”
As a multiple franchisee, with big plans for expanding Wingstop outlets over the next few years, presumably taking on new franchises becomes easier in all respects. Would you comment on this “rapid growth" aspect of your business, please?
“In some ways, yes. You have systems; you have a team; and you have a track record that helps with everything from landlords to lenders. But each new location has its own challenges. The honest answer is that the complexity scales with the portfolio. You get better at managing it, but you never stop earning it.”
“The New Rochelle Chamber was genuinely helpful in connecting us with the right people, from economic development contacts to local stakeholders who cared about the project.”

Add some homegrown flavor to your gatherings
By Melinda MyerS
Fill your crudités platters with vegetables grown in your own garden and containers. Arrange the raw vegetables neatly on a platter or board and add a homemade dip seasoned with fresh herbs. Your family and guests are sure to enjoy the selection and fresh flavor.
Look for opportunities to grow and share your favorite vegetables at gatherings with friends and families. Many vegetables work well in containers and small compact varieties make it easy to include them in just about any size garden.
Create an attractive display with seasonal bite-sized vegetables that are easy for guests to enjoy. Snap peas, radishes and carrots are most readily available during the cooler months of spring and fall.
As the season progresses, include broccoli and cauliflower florets. Try growing some purple varieties like purple magic broccoli, purple crush and amethyst purple cauliflow-
er. Blanch them in cold water to bring out the color. By mid-to-late summer, you’ll have tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to include. Grow some colorful cherry tomatoes like sunset torch with excellent flavor and unique yellow with orange striped fruit. The compact patio choice yellow and fantastico red cherry tomatoes are the perfect size for containers and fit in any size garden.
Plan to grow a few small peppers like pick-n-pop, lunchbox, just sweet and yum yums or include slices of your favorite sweet peppers. Make room in your garden to grow a few miniature cucumbers like Persian and green light with thin skins and crispy mild flavor.
Fill the voids in your platter with seasonal and colorful fruit like grapes, raspberries and strawberries. Add a little crunchy, flavorful food confetti to the mix with homegrown microgreens. Sunflower microgreens remain firm and have
a nutty flavor that is similar to the seeds. Spice things up a bit with radish greens and add welcome color with red cabbage and bull’s blood beet greens. Your microgreens are ready to harvest in just 10 to 14 days after planting. Also use them to add some of your own homegrown flavor when you have to purchase vegetables at the farmer’s market or grocery store.
Anchor the platter with a bowl of dip. Even a simple dip of sour cream, mayonnaise and chives will work. Add more complex flavor by adding additional homegrown herbs like basil, dill and oregano to your favorite dip base. Experiment with various combinations of what’s available from your container and in-ground gardens.
Be flexible. As gardeners know, plants do not always follow the descriptions on the seed packet or label. Cooler than normal weather can delay the harvest while hotter than normal weather can speed things up. Just enjoy what is ready and supplement with what you purchase at the farmer’s market or grocery store.
Purple magic broccoli adds color and interest to gardens and meals.
Zoning change requested for former Walmart location in White Plains
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The New York City-based real estate and investment company Argent Ventures through a related entity is asking White Plains for a zoning change that would allow it to reactivate space in the building at 275 Main St. where Walmart had been located.
Argent had acquired the defaulted senior debt secured by the leasehold interest in 275 Main St. and took control of the property in 2022. The building has a parking garage in addition to the retail space. The property is adjacent to White Plains Plaza, which is an office and retail complex owned by Argent. The parking at 275 Main St. serves the office tenants at White Plains Plaza, according to Argent.
Argent describes itself as being founded in 1997. It says that since its inception, it has purchased more than $3 billion in real estate assets and debt
instruments in major markets in the U. S. and Europe.
Attorney Janet Giris of the White Plains-based law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr, LLP, on behalf of Argent’s related entity
275 Main Street Associates LP has filed a petition for amendments to the White Plains Zoning Ordinance affecting the CB-3 District where 275 Main St. is situated. The petition seeks revised zoning to permit the establishment of a mini-storage facility in the lower level of the building.
275 Main Street Associates LP is named in the petition as the longterm ground lessee and contract vendee of the property. The land covers approximately 2.29 acres and is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and EJ Conroy Drive, with frontage on Hamilton Avenue.
The petition says that the three-sto -
“The proposed project involves renovating approximately 90,000 square feet on the lower level of the building, which is entirely below grade level, for use as a self-storage facility.”
ry building contains approximately 241,446 square feet together with a six-level parking structure containing approximately 1,241 parking spaces.
The proposed project involves renovating approximately 90,000 square feet on the lower level of the building, which is entirely below grade level, for use as a self-storage facility. The petition emphasizes that all of the storage units would be below ground and would be accessed via the existing driveway to the parking structure from North Broadway.
The petition says that the proposed storage facility is classified under the Zoning Ordinance as a “mini-storage facility.” It says that type of storage facility is not currently permitted in the CB-3 District, but is principally permitted in the Light Industrial Districts of the city.
“To permit the proposed storage facility at the property, the petitioner respectfully requests that the Common Council amend the Zoning Ordinance to add ‘mini-storage facility’
as a ‘Special Permit Use’ in the CB-3 District, subject to the condition that the storage units in the mini-storage facility are located on an entirely below grade building level,” the petition requests.
The petition suggests that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance would not negatively affect properties in the CB-3 District or other areas of the city, and will assist in meeting what it says is an the unmet demand for self-storage facilities in the city. It says that the demand continues to increase with the development of new apartment buildings, particularly in the downtown area.
In addition to creating the proposed self-storage facility, the above grade portion of the building would be renovated to accommodate other new tenants. It’s proposed that these could include a health club and two different commercial indoor recreation facilities. The petition says that there would not be any potential significant adverse environmental impacts.

Manresa Island Corp. announces Research & Education Station for its park
NORWALK – Manresa Island Corp., the nonprofit organization that is redeveloping the former Connecticut Light & Power and NRG power plant into the Manresa Wilds park, on May 29 formally announced its Research & Education Station that will be at the site.
Anchored by a consortium between the nonprofit and five leading scientific and educational institutions — Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Wesleyan University, Sacred Heart University, and the Norwalk Board of Education — R.E.S.A. will support the next generation of scientists and environmental stewards while helping expand Connecticut’s capacity for long-term coastal research and climate resilience work. The nonprofit is investing $500,000 in initial grants.

Sullivan County International Airport Poised for Positive Growth…Positive Impact
By Marc Baez, President, Sullivan County Partnership for Economic Development
Coming off a year of revitalization, the Sullivan County International Airport, a rural regional airport located at heart of the Sullivan Catskills, is positioned to capitalize on the investment that completely rebuilt its terminal into a spectacular facility that captures the soul of the Catskills for pilots and travelers departing and landing there.
With a 6,300 ft runway, 600 acres and room for growth, County officials have positioned the airport to attract more traffic, more investment, and more opportunities in the years to come.
So, what is the likelihood that this will happen soon? One only need to look across the country, where thousands of small and general aviation airports serve communities near or a at a short distance from major hubs. While they lack the scale of large international airports these facilities deliver positive returns when appropriately invested in and act as a catalyst for job creation, business attraction, tourism, and regional development.
Real World Examples
A joint report by the National Association of State Aviation and the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials found that for every dollar invested in aviation facilities communities see an average return of $75 through business utilization. In Tennessee, a state DOT study revealed that 70 small and mid-sized municipal airports generate @20.5 billion in economic impact. In Texas, general aviation airports alone contribute more than 48,000 jobs and $9.3 billion in economic output. While in Gallatin County Kentucky, population under 8,800, a general aviation airport has already taken pressure off of larger hubs in Louisville and Cincinnati boosting economic development, tourism, and emergency services.
Airports Exhibit Multiplier Effect
Small airports create layers of impact.
• Direct: Jobs at the facility include fuel sales, maintenance, administration, and training.
• Indirect: Spending by airport users at
local hotels, restaurants, transportation, and suppliers.
• Induced: Broader ripple effects occur as employees and travelers spend locally across a variety of economic sectors.
Beyond Jobs
Small rural/regional airports help retain and attract businesses by enabling quick executive travel, emergency services, delivery of specialty goods and services and training. Already we have seen local destinations like the Monticello Motor Club, Resorts World Catskills, the
FSH properties and a growing second home community increasingly utilize the Sullivan County Airport for their respective clientele and members. While challenges exist such as funding a variable usage here, the County has been setting the stage through a multipronged infrastructure investment strategy that will help the airport achieve its growth potential.
Complimentary Municipal Investments
Sullivan County has embarked in bolstering its broadband capacity, investing in its roadway network and its sewer and water capacity signifi-
cantly. When completed these investments open the door to supporting the airport by attracting businesses in the tech industry, supply chain sectors and new housing developments that will meet the demands of the new economy. This connectivity across multiple fronts serves to attract the types of people, businesses and future opportunities that will continue to grow the airport as a resources for convenient, accessible, and timely transportation. The Sullivan County International Airport is surely poised for positive investment and growth well into the future.
Four-story, 175-unit building proposed for Wilton
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The entity Wilton Campus 1691, LLC has made a pre-application submission to the Town of Wilton for a four-story 175-unit multifamily building it wants to construct as Phase II of a development on property it owns at 15 and 21 River Road. The property covers approximately 12.2-acres. It was not immediately clear when review of a formal application might begin.
According to a narrative of what the developer likely would be asking for in a formal application, in 2024 it received Special Permit approval from Wilton’s Planning and Zoning Commission for demolition of an existing 72,000-square-feet office building and construction of a 168unit multifamily mixed-use development with 11,000 square feet of
new retail and related site improvements.
As of 2024, the remaining 118,000-square-feet office building on the site was occupied and expected to remain. Now, however, the developer said the tenants occupying that building have decided to vacate and the entire building will be vacant at the end of this year. Wilton Campus noted that the demand for office space has continued to dwindle, thereby decreasing the demand for physical office space while at the same time the need for additional housing has continued to grow.
Wilton Campus said it has decided to demolish the 118,000-square-feet office building and redevelop the remaining portion of the property with housing and related improvements. It is proposing to put up a new four-sto -
ry, 175 residential unit multifamily development with one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, a clubhouse, and outdoor open space. Parking for the Phase II development would include 275 parking spaces located within a parking garage and entirely shielded from public view by the building.
The proposal includes an open space of approximately 35,000 square feet that will include seating areas, passive lawn areas, an open space walk, possibly a dog run and other amenities. There would be a new street built to be known as Village Court.
The developer pointed out that Wilton’s Plan of Conservation and Development acknowledged the housing need and included repeated references to the creation of diverse housing types to serve the entire Wilton community, including younger working age and older populations. It was understood that diversifying
“The proposal includes an open space of approximately 35,000 square feet that will include seating areas, passive lawn areas, an open space walk, possibly a dog run and other amenities.”
housing opportunities would help drive local commerce, personal spending, and tax revenues.
Wilton Campus said that its Phase II Development would use traditional red brick as the principal building material and offer a sense of quality that is consistent with the Phase I development as well as what it calls “the traditional Wilton aesthetic. Moreover, by coupling pedestrian-oriented frontages, including front stoops along Village Court, with interconnected paths enhanced by lush landscaping, the new development will encourage walkability and activity at the street level.”
Wilton Campus said, “Perhaps most importantly, the Phase II Development will remove an underutilized commercial office building and replace it with much-needed housing. The residents of this project will patronize the adjacent retail and help to provide a sufficient population to support local businesses.”

Danbury Superior Court
Beacon Hill Staffing Group LLC, Glastonbury. Filed by Allan C. Zabrecky, Brookfield. Plaintiff’s attorney: Self represented. Action: the plaintiff was offered employment by the defendant. The defendant required the completion of various hiring documents, including the IRS Form W-4 for tax withholding. The plaintiff inquired about the consequences of not signing the W-4, to which the defendant insisted that withholding from the plaintiff’s compensation would occur without it. Subsequently, the plaintiff accepted the employment, albeit without signing the W-4 and later sent a cease-and-desist letter regarding the withholding. The defendant, after consulting legal counsel, maintained its position on withholding, which resulted in the defendant withholding a total of $21,958.73 from the plaintiff’s earnings between March 29, 2025, and Oct. 31, 2025. The plaintiff now seeks a court order for the immediate restoration of the withheld amount. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. DBD-CV-26-6059049-S. Filed April 20.

The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. DBD-CV-26-6058518-S. Filed Jan. 29.
Nejame & Sons Inc., et al, Danbury. Filed by Anthony Tortora, Brewster. Plaintiff’s attorney: Ted Alan Novick, Mahopac, New York. Action: The plaintiff entered a written contract with the defendants for the installation of a fiberglass swimming pool and various associated systems and accessories at his home for a total price of $118,500. After fulfilling all obligations, including full payment, the plaintiff notified the defendants of defects in the installation and requested repairs or replacements.

The defendants instructed the plaintiff not to reveal this information and attempted to buy his silence with cash tips, art and assistance with his immigration issues. Upon the plaintiff’s refusal to accept these “gifts,” the defendants allegedly resorted to threats of physical harm and intimidation, warning that disclosure would result in severe consequences for both the plaintiff’s safety and his immigration case. Their threatening actions were serious and intended to silence the plaintiff, leading to significant emotional distress, anxiety and other mental health issues.

Peter Ferraro CEO
New York Self Storage Association
Peter Ferraro Sr. is a commercial real estate developer based in Westchester County, New York. He developed his first self-storage facility in the early 1990s in Bedford Hills, NY, and over the next thirty years built more than 250,000 net rentable square feet of self-storage across Westchester County and the Catskills. A longtime visionary in the self-storage industry, Peter was instrumental in the founding of the New York Self Storage Association and currently serves as its CEO, overseeing a membership of more than 400 operators across the state. He has been a driving force in shaping NYSSA into one of the most respected and influential state associations in the country, recognized throughout the broader self-storage industry for its leadership, programming, and member advocacy.

Tim Foley CEO and Executive Vice President
The Building & Realty Institute of the Hudson Valley
Tim Foley is CEO and executive vice president of the Building & Realty Institute (BRI), a real estate trade association serving Westchester County and the Hudson Valley. BRI represents home builders, developers, property owners, managers, co-op and condo boards, and others involved in housing and real estate. Foley is only the third executive vice president in the organization’s 77-year history and is a founding partner of Welcome Home Westchester, a coalition launched in 2021 to promote housing development and affordability through collaboration among business leaders, nonprofits, academics, faith leaders and community advocates. He also serves as director of the Building and Allied Construction Industries of Westchester, affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders and the New York State Builders Association. Foley previously served on several NAHB land use and development committees and currently serves on the board of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. Before joining BRI, he was communications director for New York State Assemblymember Amy Paulin, where he worked on regional initiatives involving housing, infrastructure, transportation and energy issues across Westchester and Long Island.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
For a nonprofit organization representing businesses, companies, and organizations across the full spectrum and real estate industry, competitiveness and our values are not in conflict. A member of the BRI would only ever join because we were fully committed to our vision and our values, which we define to be advocacy on behalf our members, our industry, and a pro-housing vision of economic development; collaboration through working toward a common purpose and shared goals; integrity; and education both for our members and as a thought leader in addressing trends and being a trusted resource for decision-makers. These have been our values for the past 80 years, and they inform all the advocacy work, education and programming, and networking opportunities we provide. If a business owner sees themselves in those values, they'll be attracted to what we do and see themselves in the opportunities the BRI provides. If not, it doesn't matter what else we do to be competitive and attract new dues-paying members — we'll have missed the mark.

There is no fine line-we do not compromise our values. Without them, we have nothing. In fact, it is precisely our commitment to those values that strengthens our competitiveness and enhances our reputation. As one of my mentors once told me, a reputation takes an entire career to build, yet it can be undone by a single careless mistake.

How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
Younger employees want to see progress, purpose, and real ownership, so we've shifted toward giving them a clearer line of sight between their work and its impact on the business. That means more responsibility earlier and a stronger investment in development, building a connection between the company's growth and their personal growth. At the same time, we've doubled down on culture, making sure people feel part of something longterm, not just a role. If they can see a future here and feel like they're helping shape it, they're far more likely to stay.

He believes these relationships drive the Bank's culture, strengthens the Banks client base, and helps define what makes Fairfield County Bank unique.
What strategic shifts have you made to foster a sense of loyalty and belonging to engage or retain younger employees in response to their mobility?
First and foremost, it is important to redefine loyalty as mutual and not one sided. We must be willing to invest in younger employees' development-even if they might leave. Second, always be accessible and provide frequent and transparent communication focused on recognition and coaching. Let them know that their growth is important to you. Finally, build belonging through identity and purpose. Tie rolls to mission and impact and allow employees to shape how work gets done. They need to know they are being seen, being heard and being useful.

President and CEO Andrus
Before being named president and CEO on Jan. 17, 2025, Corine served as vice president and chief program officer and later as interim president and CEO for eight months. During her nearly 29 years at Andrus, she advanced through several leadership roles after beginning her career as a home visitor supporting families in the community.

Before joining Andrus, she worked as an early childhood teacher, experience that helped shape her career in human services. She holds a doctorate in marriage and family therapy from National University and serves on the board of the Community Planning Council of Yonkers. Her recent honors include Crain’s New York Business Notable Leader in Philanthropy, Sister to Sister International Outstanding Community Partner Recognition, 914INC.

Corine is affiliated with several professional and industry organizations, including the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, Business Council of Westchester, Nonprofit Westchester and Westchester County Association.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
My personal values shape who I am as a leader, and they must align with the organization's mission for me to lead with integrity. When that alignment is strong, it fuels creativity and ingenuity, opening pathways to remain competitive without sacrificing purpose. In those moments, I'm not compromising my values; I'm leading with them.
Deirdre is a marketing executive with more than 20 years of experience in brand strategy, business growth and integrated communications across financial services and global consumer brands. As director of marketing and chief marketing officer at Moneco Advisors, and a member of the firm’s executive committee, she helps lead brand strategy, advisor engagement and client communications. Since joining Moneco in 2024, she has led a companywide rebrand across the firm’s growing multi-office organization, aligning marketing, media, technology and sponsorship initiatives with a client-focused approach centered on trust and long-term relationships. Her career includes leadership roles with financial firms such as Broadridge, Commonwealth Financial and Focus Financial Partners, as well as work with consumer brands including Dove, Pepsi, Guinness and Dunkin. Deirdre is passionate about helping advisors communicate their value and connect clients with thoughtful financial guidance. She credits her experience summiting Mount Kilimanjaro with reinforcing the importance of preparation, resilience and trust in leadership. Outside of work, she enjoys travel, skiing and spending time with her family and two Labradors.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
Compromising my values isn't something I'm willing to do; and that conviction shapes everything about how I build and steward a brand. At Moneco, our client-first, fiduciary mindset involves knowledge, care, optimism, humility, strength, and more. These aren't aspirations, they're daily commitments. When opportunities arise, we ask one question: can we genuinely stand behind this over time? AI is the most honest test of that right now... the pressure to move fast is real, but trust erodes quickly when organizations outrun their integrity. I've made the choice, not always the easiest one, to lead with transparency and consistency, because trust is earned slowly and often lost quickly. Values aren't decoration, they're the foundation, and when you build from that place, people don't just use what you've created, they believe in it; and that is your competitive edge.

Parikh holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Cincinnati and a master’s degree in South Asian studies from the University of Toronto.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
We stay competitive by clearly defining what is nonnegotiable and where flexibility is possible. Our values are not abstract. They are reflected in our policies, partnerships and performance expectations. If a decision requires compromising core principles such as transparency, equity or accountability, it may offer short-term gains but creates long-term risk. At the same time, staying competitive requires adaptability. Not every preference is a core value. We can adjust tactics, timelines and approaches without compromising our commitments. The key is understanding the difference. In practice, that means setting clear decision-making frameworks upfront so trade-offs are not made reactively, being willing to walk away from opportunities that do not align with our values, and creating systems, contracts and partnerships that reinforce rather than weaken those principles.
ANTHONY PILI SVP Chief Innovation Officer
Orange Bank & Trust Company
Anthony Pili serves as SVP Chief Innovation Officer at Orange Bank & Trust Company.

As a result, Orange Bank & Trust has helped New York-based businesses, nonprofits and municipalities streamline their finances, decrease banking costs, reduce risk, and gain operational efficiency by leveraging the Bank's technology. Pili joined Orange Bank & Trust in 2018 as 1st Vice President, Director of Cash Management, and two years later assumed responsibility for the Marketing Department in advance of the company's initial public offering and listing on NASDAQ. Previously, he was a Senior Vice President at Greater Hudson Bank, where he managed the Westchester County market and was Director of Strategic Planning, overseeing cash management, marketing, renewable energy lending and SBA programs.
What strategic shifts have you made to foster a sense of loyalty and belonging to engage or retain younger employees in response to their mobility?
I believe loyalty is a two-way street built on transparency. I provide my team with radical transparency and direct insight into C-Suite decision-making and the obstacles we face; this trust earns us the right to give them the total autonomy they crave. When employees aren't just following a roadmap but are actually helping to draw it, they develop a level of ownership that makes the cost of leaving far higher than the cost of staying.
EREIDA SPAHO, CPA
Certified Public Accountant, Partner
Landwehr & Spaho CPAs
As a partner in a public accounting firm, I focus on several key areas of our business, including taxation, strategic planning, and business consulting and advisory services. Alongside my partners and team, I remain focused on our long-term growth objectives while navigating ongoing changes in our industry-such as evolving tax legislation, technological advancements, and the challenges of attracting and retaining top talent-all while maintaining strong, trusted relationships with our clients and our community. As a partner, I measure success by how effectively and responsibly I lead and support our team in achieving our long-term goals. As an entrepreneur, I also prioritize revenue growth and business development, recognizing that our success is driven by the collective contributions of our staff, clients, and community.

Leveraging our team's expertise and advanced technology, we help clients navigate ongoing changes in tax legislation while identifying opportunities to grow, operate more efficiently, and achieve meaningful savings.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
Our values play a central role in our decision-making process. We set our goals based on both professional and ethical principles and work consistently toward them. I do not believe that competition forces us to compromise these values; rather, the values we bring to the table are what distinguish us from our competitors, define our professional identity, and establish our market niche.

How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
While there can be a fine line between staying competitive and compromising values, my values are nonnegotiable, making that line very clear for me, especially in the spaces I operate in. Organizations trust me with their budgets, their legacies, and their livelihoods, and that responsibility requires integrity at every level. I don't believe you have to compromise values to remain competitive; instead, I lean into creativity as my greatest asset. Creativity allows me to stay innovative, unpredictable, and differentiated while remaining grounded in purpose and trust.

How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
We compete by being clear about who we are. Integrity, collaboration, accountability, agility, respect, and excellence are not slogans for us-they are the standards that guide our decisions, especially when the pressure is on. My role is to ensure those values don't bend when the stakes rise. If an opportunity requires us to compromise them, it's not the right opportunity. Performance achieved at the expense of our values is temporary; performance grounded in them is sustainable.

Founded in 1928 through the vision and generosity of John Emory Andrus as a tribute to his late wife, Julia Bourne Dyckman Andrus, Andrus began as a sanctuary for orphaned children on the historic Dyckman family estate in Yonkers. For nearly a century, Andrus has been helping children and families heal, grow, and thrive. As we approach our Centennial Celebration in 2028, we remain committed to providing a comprehensive, trauma-responsive system of care that recognizes that when a child is struggling, the challenge rarely exists in just one place. Today, Andrus operates a comprehensive, trauma-responsive system of care on its historic 110-acre campus and throughout the community. Through The Orchard School at Andrus, The Andrus Residential Treatment Program, Andrus Behavioral Health Services in the Community, The Andrus Care Management Program, and The Sanctuary Institute, Andrus provides coordinated education, mental health, residential, family support, and organizational training services that meet children and families where they are. Andrus’s services are connected, responsive, and grounded in the belief that lasting change happens when care is compassionate, collaborative, and consistent. By integrating education, mental health services, family support, residential treatment, and trauma-informed organizational practice, Andrus helps children, families, and communities build resilience, strengthen wellbeing, and imagine what is possible for the future.
