Honey Locust Square contractor needs $700k to finish shopping center

BRIDGEPORT — With all the fanfare of a block party in October 2025, Mayor Joe Ganim, elected state and city o"cials and M&T Bank executives kicked o# the bank’s newest branch in the city’s East End as part of the $14 million Honey Locust Square.

Now some fve months later the bank branch and refurbished Newfeld Library are the only two elements of the shopping center that are in business. That is because the general contractor Ashlar Construction, which is owned by Anthony Stewart, is struggling to come up with $700,000 in funding to complete the construction of an anchor grocery store, hair salon and restaurant.

“It’s all on me,” Stewart told the Fairfeld County Business Journal. “The bank and everyone else have been fne. They are not to blame.” He hopes to come up with enough money to open the Gala Foods grocery store by the summer. “I’m just trying to sell some of my real estate and move some things around to raise money. If I had the money today, I could open the grocery store in 60 days.”

He did say that he expects “something big” to happen in the next month where he will come up with the necessary funds. While the buildings have been

completed, there is still some interior work that is needed, such as painting, sheet rock and insulation installation.

But Stewart did say all the necessary utilities have been installed. “It’s all powered up,” he said.

The Gala Foods would be the third location in Bridgeport; the other two are located at 1050 E. Main St. and 1457 Fairfeld Ave.

The bank branch occupies 1,538 square feet at 1224 Stratford Avenue. It features teller service, a walk-up ATM, and private ofces for fnancial consultations designed to meet a broad range of customer needs, from everyday transactions to mortgage assistance and small business support.

Honey Locust Square is a 32,000-to-35,000-square-foot commercial development on Stratford Avenue, designed to eliminate a food and banking desert. The Newfeld Library was completed in 2022. It originally included a pharmacy, but that business has pulled out.

Stewart also faces some fnancial hardship involving the project as Ashlar has been ordered to pay three creditors a total of $463,536 related to Honey Locust Square. The debt, which was ordered to be paid by a Bridgeport court, includes $417,334 to Newtown Savings Bank for nonpayment of a $350,000 line of credit/loan, along

Ashlar Construction faces nearly $500k in debt owed to project creditors

with interest, interest and fees; $20,645 to Middlesex Insurance Co. for nonpayment of a premium; $17,500 in unpaid bills to L&W Supply of North Haven; $8,057 to Connecticut Plate and Art Glass Inc. for nonpayment of a glass door built for the bank branch. Through a request from Mayor Ganim’s ofce, Stewart’s Honey Locust Square project received $3.5 million from the Community Investment Fund in 2023. The money was supposed to pay for the interior of the supermarket and installation of underground utilities. The City of Bridgeport also kicked in $988,000 in fnancing, which included $400,000 from federal American Rescue Plan funds. Earlier in 2021, Ashlar received a $2 million loan from the Leviticus Fund.

Family battle brewing at Yonkers co ee roaster

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Minority owners of a Yonkers co# ee roaster are suing their relatives to dissolve the nearly century-old family business because their interests have allegedly been marginalized.

The lawsuit pits the Ranni family – James and Virginia, and Denise Schulman – against Dean and Charles Pialtos for control of P. Pascal Inc.

"The company is no longer being operated for its proper corporate purposes," according to a complaint fled in Westchester Supreme Court on Feb. 25, "but rather as an instrumentality for defendants' personal enrichment and control."

The current owners' grandfather founded P. Pascal in 1929. In the 1950s it was moved from Manhattan to Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers.

The families changed the corporate structure about 30 years ago, the complaint states. Additional

shares were allocated to the Pialtos family on the basis of their profciency in the Greek language benefting the company's relationships with Greek-owned diners.

The consequence, the Ranni faction claims, is that they have been excluded from corporate governance and denied a portion of profts.

The Pialtoses have allegedly refused to provide fnancial records, tax returns, ledgers, and board meeting minutes, even though James Ranni was formally listed at various times as the company treasurer.

Based on a sampling of invoices from 2013 to 2015, obtained by the Rannis, according to the complaint, expenditures "support a strong inference of fraudulent conduct, systematic mismanagement, and diversion of corporate assets."

For example, they claim that James Ranni's wife, who never worked for the company, was placed on the

payroll so that the company could increase the number of employees to qualify for Covid-19 pandemic relief funds.

The alleged falsifcation "created an unwarranted tax liability exceeding $20,000" for the Rannis.

In February 2026, according to the complaint, James Ranni and his son asked for a valuation of their shares for a proposed buyout. Dean Pialtos allegedly responded that no buyout would be considered.

The Rannis are accusing the Pialtoses of minority shareholder oppression, fraud, embezzlement, and breach of fduciary duty.

They are demanding access to corporate records, an accounting by a neutral forensic accountant, judicial dissolution of the company, and unspecifed monetary damages and restitution.

"There is no viable internal remedy, no functioning governance mechanism, and no reasonable prospect," the complaint states, "that

defendants will cease their misconduct absent judicial intervention."

Dean Pialtos did not immediately respond to a request for his side of the story.

Westchester single-family home prices up 19.8%, active listings down 29%

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

February saw the tight housing market in Westchester continue to be tight, according to new statistics from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR). The median sale price for single-family homes in Westchester was $1,025,500 in February, up 19.8% from February 2025.

Westchester County had only 1.3 months of single-family homes in inventory during February of this year, down from 1.9 months in February last year. Most homes were on the market for only about a month. There were 206 closed sales of single-family homes in February 2026 compared with 221 sales in the same month last year.

“February’s data shows a market under pressure, with rising home

prices and fewer closed sales signaling ongoing inventory challenges,” said Rey Hollingsworth Falu, HGAR’s president. “Demand is still strong, but limited supply continues to drive competition and afordability concerns. As we head into spring, expanding inventory will be key to unlocking more activity and opportunity across our region.”

Home for sale.

In Putnam County, there were 104 active listings on the market in February 2026 compared with 132 in February 2025. The number of closed sales during the month was 47, up from 44 in February of 2025. The median sale price for single-family homes in Putnam was $568,400 in February 2026, up 7.8% over February 2025. Homes in Putnam typically remained on the

market for 40 days, slightly longer than in Westchester.

In Rockland County, the median sale price for a single-family home rose 2.4% over what it was in February of last year to $799,000. The number of active listings dropped to 308 in February 2026 compared with 339 in February 2025. There were 81 closed sales, down from 91 in February 2025. Single-family homes moved slightly faster in Rockland than in Westchester or Putnam, with most staying on the market for only 29 days.

Orange County saw the median sale price for single-family homes fall by 1.1% in February 2026 compared with February 2025 to $470,000, according to HGAR. The number of active listings in February 2026 was 619, 8.4% lower than the 676 in February 2025. The number of closed sales also fell, from 173 in February 2025 to 142 in February 2026.

Golf course, townhouses, single-family homes proposed for Mount Pleasant

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

“Fieldwood Farm will have an unmistakable character unique to itself and in harmony with its natural surroundings and location.”

Southworth, a Boston-based developer and operator of golf membership clubs and resorts is proposing through the entity South Rock LLC to build an 18-hole golf course and country club along with approximately 75 to 80 townhomes and single-family homes on a 214.41-acre property in Mount Pleasant.

The project would be known as Fieldwood Farm and would be located on property at 835-855 Sleepy Hollow Road.

— David Steinmetz

According to Attorney David Steinmetz of the White Plains-based law frm Zarin & Steinmetz, “Southworth has over twenty years of expertise in developing and operating golf and country club communities, with clubs

across the United States, and stretching internationally as far as the Bahamas and Scotland. Like all of Southworth’s clubs, Fieldwood Farm will have an unmistakable character unique to itself and in harmony with its unmatched natural surroundings and location.”

Southworth has a total of seven clubs at: Great Abaco in the Bahamas; Telluride in Colorado; Aldie in Virginia; Mashpee on Cape Cod in Massachusetts; Argyll in Scoltland; Haverhill in Massachusetts; and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Steinmetz said that the property planned for development formerly had belonged to the Rockefeller Family and that several members of that fam-

ily are supportive of the project. He said that Southworth would coordinate with the Rockefeller Family members to make sure that the property’s history is honored, including preservation of most of the existing buildings on the property.

Steinmetz noted that the developer is seeking a zoning change that would allow a for-proft membership club on the property in addition to site plan and environmental approvals.

The developer claims in its petition for a zoning text amendment that proposed use of the property is consistent with other uses in the nearby area, and points to an operating country club that it located across the street. The developer also says that the project would generate signifcant new tax revenues “by realizing the property’s full economic potential with the new

club and residential units, which would also serve as a source of sustained patronage of local businesses in the town, as well as generate new employment opportunities.”

The petition says that the project conforms with the town’s 2022 Comprehensive Plan in a number of ways including with respect to housing demand, golf clubs and open space, and balancing natural resource preservation with development needs. It says that high demand for single-family homes in Mount Pleasant has resulted in increased costs and less inventory of homes on the market and that the project would not only increase the number of housing units in the town but also add to the available variety.

Mount Pleasant’s Town Board voted unanimously to send the project to the town's Planning Board for review.

Relationship Banking That Supports Westchester’s Business Growth

In today’s business environment, growth rarely happens by accident. Expansion, acquisitions, capital investments and succession planning all require thoughtful strateg y and the right nancial partner. For business owners across Westchester County, access to capital is important, but so is having a bank that understands the local market and shares a long-term vision.

At Tompkins Community Bank, commercial lending is built on two core principles: relationship-driven decision making and local decision authority.

Westchester’s business community is diverse and sophisticated. From professional services rms and healthcare practices to manufacturers, retailers and commercial real estate investors, each industry faces its own opportunities and pressures. A nancing structure that works for one organization may not

work for another. That is why we begin with conversation. We take time to understand a company’s goals, cash ow, ownership structure and growth strateg y before recommending a solution.

Relationship-driven decision making means we are not looking at a single transaction in isolation. We are looking at the trajectory of a business. Whether a company is acquiring property, expanding into new space, investing in equipment, re f inancing existing debt or planning for leadership transition, our focus is on building a partnership that supports both immediate objectives and longterm success.

Equally important is local decision authority. Credit decisions are made by experienced professionals who know this market and understand the economic dynamics shaping Westchester. That proximity allows

for more meaningful dialogue, quicker responses and nancing solutions that re ect real-world conditions. In periods of economic uncertainty, that local insight and accessibility can make a measurable di erence. While we are deeply rooted in the communities we serve, we bring signi cant nancial strength, robust resources and comprehensive commercial banking capabilities. Our clients bene t from direct access to experienced decision makers who are invested in their long-term success.

Business owners today need more than capital. They need clarity, responsiveness and a partner who sees beyond the numbers. At Tompkins Community Bank, we are proud to support Westchester’s businesses at every stage, and we are here for all your commercial lending needs.

Sterling, Diversified Properties open 117-unit apartment community

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

BETHEL – Sterling Properties Group, in partnership with Diversified Properties, o "cially opened Kinsley, a brandnew 117-unit luxury rental community located at 36 Stony Hill Road in the heart of town.

This addition of Kinsley to the Bethel apartment landscape marks the expansion of Sterling Properties Group into Connecticut.

Kinsley ofers residents the perfect blend of serene, community-driven living and easy access to urban amenities. The community features oneand two-bedroom luxury residences, complete with 9-foot ceilings, luxury plank fooring, designer kitchens featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas ranges, in-home washer/dryer, and spa-like bathrooms. Select units include private balconies.

Kinsley's standout amenities foster wellness, productivity, and convenience, including a community clubhouse with a state-of-the-art ftness center, package room, gathering area, and co-working space; a heated outdoor swimming pool; BBQ area; outdoor freplace with seating; gazebo; pet-friendly dog run; and electric vehicle charging stations. Free-standing garages are also available.

The recent grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony was a tribute to Bethel's strong community-frst culture. Residents had the opportunity to connect directly with local businesses in the heart of downtown Bethel, strengthening neighborhood ties and supporting the growth of local enterprises.

Kinsley joins a growing roster of apartment buildings and communities that also includes some afordable housing. In addition to Kinsley, Bethel is home to at least nine other apartment complexes. They include Covered Bridge, Camargos, The Point at Still River, The Grand at Stony Hill Apartments, The Summit at Bethel, Villages at Timber Oak Clubhouse, Simeon Village, Bethel Crossing and The Grand at Bethel Apartments.

As for afordable housing, there are the communities operated by the Bethel Housing Authority. The include Reynolds Ridge 133 & 166 (62+ and those 18+ on disability),

Phineas Park, (low-income multi-family facility) and Bethel Congregate (62+).

Sterling Properties Group is channeling the enthusiasm from this project into future endeavors. Notably, the company's most recent opening of Canterly Place in Livingston, New Jersey, has been honored with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Northern

New Jersey's 2026 Best Multifamily Amenity Space Award.

"Kinsley embodies modern elegance and timeless sophistication, delivering an upscale lifestyle with endless opportunities for wellness, productivity, and convenience," said Nina Chichelo, director of marketing for Sterling. "We're thrilled to contribute to Bethel's vibrant community while expanding our footprint beyond New Jersey."

“First County Bank has been a responsive and community-focused banking partner since 1998, supporting our school’s expansion through loans and helping us provide over $1.5 million in scholarships and free performances to 26,000 Stamford Public School students”.

“This refects broader changes in the retail industry, rather than a lack of economic strength in Westchester County.”

A Saturday, March 7, Forbes article on Saks Global LLC’s bankruptcy restructuring – designed to retain the vendors it needs for its luxe operations – declared Neiman Marcus the winner as the group’s new lead brand.

— Joan McDonald

Tell that to the folks at Neiman Marcus in The Westchester mall, White Plains, which will close in May, along with two other Neiman Marcus locations and 12 Saks Fifth Avenue locations nationwide. This after an earlier move to ax nine full-price stores and more than 60 of-price locations, including Saks Of Fifth in Eastchester, which closes March 28; and Saks Of Fifth in Greenburgh, which shuttered Feb. 2.

The new round of closings has no efect on the Manhattan fagships for Saks Fifth Avenue and sister store Bergdorf Goodman, which are as much tourist attractions, with pricey restaurants ofering commanding midtown views, as they are retail destinations. (The Neiman Marcus location at Hudson Yards closed in 2019.)

Nor do the closings have any bearing on The Saks Shops at Greenwich, a group of four stores that help anchor tony Greenwich Avenue, (although its 10022-SHOE is actually on Elm Street).

But the closing of Neiman Marcus Westchester will matter to the economy and identity of the county with which it has been closely associated since the approximately 143,000-square foot store opened its doors in 1981. (Before that, the space was occupied by a branch of its sister brand, Bergdorf Goodman, which opened here in the early 1970s.)

First and foremost, there is the loss of employment for those at Neiman Marcus Westchester, including its signature Mariposa restaurant, along with questions of how the Simon Property Group – operator and co-owner of The Westchester – will fll the four-foor store and what, if any, efect this will have on the mall’s more than 140 stores and eateries.

Calls to Simon and Neiman Marcus were not immediately returned.

But there is also the irony of Westchester, one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, being Saks-less and now – thanks to Saks’ acquisition of Neiman Marcus, fnanced with debt, which precipitated the bankruptcy of the resulting Saks Global –the loss of Neiman Marcus, another luxury brand.

“We’re disappointed to see Neiman Marcus closing its location at The Westchester," said Deputy Westchester County Executive Joan McDonald. “The store has been a longstanding presence in White Plains and part of the region’s retail landscape for many years. At the same time, this refects broader changes in the retail industry, rather than a lack of economic strength in Westchester County. Our county remains one of the most afuent and economically dynamic regions in the country, with strong consumer spending, vibrant downtowns and continued investment in retail, hospitality and mixed-use development.

“We will continue working with the city of White Plains, property owners and our economic development partners to ensure that The Westchester and the surrounding downtown

remain a premier destination for shopping, dining and entertainment. Westchester’s market fundamentals remain very strong, and we are confdent the space will attract new investment and exciting opportunities in the future.”

Added Marsha Gordon, DBA, president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, “The news of the closing of Neiman Marcus at The Westchester mall certainly marks the closing of a chapter in the region’s high-end retail community and opportunities to shop in person. We certainly all appreciated shopping at Neiman Marcus over the years and will miss their presence.

“Retail continues to evolve rapidly, and moments like this remind us of the importance of innovation, adaptability and forward-looking partnerships. The Business Council of Westchester, as always, remains deeply committed to supporting the rapidly evolving retail sector as it transforms to meeting the demands of a more experiential economy."

Among the stores that may be flling the void left by Neiman Marcus Westchester are Nordstrom, The Westchester’s other anchor store, and Bloomingdale’s, within walking distance of The Westchester on Bloomingdale Road.

“Bloomingdale’s comparable sales were up 8.8% on an owned basis and 9.0% on an O+L+M basis, the highest in 13 quarters,” reported Macy’s Inc., which owns the brand.

The 59th Street fagship is getting an extensive makeover in its designer ready-to-wear and luxury leather goods and shoes departments, while the brand leverages prestige clothing, accessories, home goods and beauty products in its 55 locations; adds 15 stores, mainly curated capsule loca-

tions, and strengthens its VIC (Very Important Client) teams.

Nordstrom, now owned by El Puerto de Liverpool, has seen its sales rise 6% from September 2025 through January 2026. It’s developing 125th anniversary collaborations with Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik and Tory Burch for exclusive products; revitalizing its personal shopping experiences, expanding its “Collectors” and designer accessory departments and even integrating high-end brands into of-price Nordstrom Rack stores, which include a location in White Plains’ City Center. Through Sunday, March 15, Nordstrom at The Westchester is hosting a “Skinfuence Beauty Trend Event.”

Experts see an opportunity for both Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom to fll a particular luxury void.

“They’ve positioned themselves as approachable luxury, and that is the gateway to greater luxury,” said stylist and personal shopper Michele Roque, founder and owner of Pelham Manor-based You Can Do Better Than That.

Roque, who worked for legendary personal shopper Betty Halbreich during her years at Bergdorf Goodman, has seen a devolution in statement clothing.

“There’s a real space in the marketplace for sophisticated occasion dresses,” she added. “Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom could really capture this lost customer.”

With those two retailers hot on its heels, Saks Global is reimagining itself as a complement of Saks and Neiman Marcus stores, with Neiman in the vanguard — a case, Forbes said, of the tail wagging the dog.

Neiman Marcus Westchester just won’t be part of the pack.

Lawler wants Indian Point nuclear plant reopened; immediate reaction

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Congressman Mike Lawler, whose New York 17th Congressional District includes parts of Westchester and Dutchess and all of Rockland and Putnam has called for the rebuilding and reopening of the shuttered Indian Point nuclear powerplant.

On March 6, Lawler staged a visit to the site of the closed plant by U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright. At the event, Lawler announced that he has introduced legislation called the Economic Recovery for Nuclear-Afected Communities Act. He said it would provide economic relief to communities that lost jobs and tax revenue after nuclear plant closures but continue to store spent nuclear fuel onsite, like Indian Point.

“Across the Northeast, including in New York, Americans are paying some of the highest electricity prices in the country because political leaders blocked critical infrastructure and prematurely shutdown power plants that deliver afordable, abundant power,” Wright said.

The Trump administration has taken steps to shut down the development of generating sites for renewable electricity such as ofshore wind farms.

It has shown an interest in building new nuclear generating plants, putting coal-fred plants back on line and expanding the use of other fossil fuels in electricity generation.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins reacted to Lawler’s call to restart Indian Point by saying, “Absolutely not. Let me be clear because apparently I was not clear enough for Congressman Lawler and the Trump Administration: restarting the Indian Point nuclear power plant is not welcome in Westchester County.

“New York State already has access to a range of low-cost, environmentally responsible energy alternatives, including solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower. We do not need and we do not want Indian Point back online. The health and safety of millions of residents in the Hudson Valley will always matter more than reopening a nuclear facility.”

Jenkins said that he supports Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to expand nuclear energy capacity in New York state in appropriate locations, while excluding New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley from consideration.

“Our communities fought long and

hard to close this facility, and we are not going to reopen that debate now and not ever,” Jenkins said about Indian Point. “Westchester County does not support reactivating a plant that sits in the heart of one of the most densely populated regions in the country and continues to raise serious concerns for our environment and our communities.”

State Assemblymember Dana Levenberg whose 95th Assembly District covers parts of northern Westchester County and western Putnam County including Peekskill, Ossining, Cortlandt, Philipstown, Croton-on-Hudson, Buchanan, and Cold Spring said, “Nuclear is the most expensive

form of energy per kilowatt hour; reopening Indian Point at this point in time would not bring utility costs down. Furthermore, we simply can't trust the Trump administration to keep us safe.”

Lawler said at the March 6 event that he wanted to see Indian Point reopened in part because “New Yorkers are now paying nearly 60% more for electricity than the national average, and prices have risen dramatically over the past several years. You cannot shut down nuclear plants, block natural gas pipelines, and impose costly mandates, and then act surprised when families are hit with some of the highest utility bills in America.”

Brazilian restaurant Fogo De Chão seeks to open in Yonkers

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The restaurant brand Fogo De Chão that has more than 100 locations in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East, with several in the New York Metro area including one in White Plains, plans to open in the Cross County Center.

The plan calls for an interior and exterior renovation of the existing 7,954 square-foot building that formerly was a TGI Friday’s restaurant at 853 Kimball Ave., near the shopping center’s North Drive entrance from Kimball Avenue.

Brooks Shopping Centers LLC, owner of Cross County Center has applied to Yonkers for amended site plan approvals that would allow the project to proceed.

No changes are proposed to the building footprint, building height, or the surrounding site improvements. The building’s exterior would be refurbished with new materials in new colors, new doors and windows, new lighting and canopies. The restaurant will utilize the existing 1,061 squarefoot open-air outdoor dining area at the rear of the building, as well as the existing 789 square-foot trash enclosure area. The interior would be redone with decor similar to what’s used in the company’s other outlets.

The Yonkers Fogo De Chão restaurant is anticipated to have about 100 employees with from 60 to 80 staf members on duty for various shifts. Typical hours of operation for the restaurants are Sunday through

“As the rooftop is currently underutilized, we recommend incorporating a solar array or a green roof.”

— Brian Thombs

Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The company was founded in Southern Brazil in 1979 and specializes in the centuries-old cooking technique of churrasco, which involves roasting high-quality cuts of meat over an open fame. The meats are carved tableside by gaucho chefs. The restaurants also feature seafoods, salads and soups. The business was founded by brothers who opened their frst restaurant in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre, and then a second one in São Paulo. The frst U.S. location was in Dallas.

The company notes that its locations receive deliveries of food, beverages and merchandise typically 10 to 12 times per week. It says that some deliveries arrive on a tractor-trailer and these would take place in pre-opening hours. Other deliveries

that occur via smaller, box truck can happen throughout the day.

Brian Thombs, chairman of the Westchester County Planning Board, said that the board reviewed the proposed project and urges the inclusion of a bicycle parking area for visitors and employees and points out that food service deliveries to area residents often are made using bicycles in higher-density areas like lower Westchester. The board also urged that as the building is reconfgured sustainable building technology be added.

“As the rooftop is currently underutilized, we recommend that the applicant consider incorporating a solar array or a green roof in order to provide environmental remediation within the site,” Thombs said. “In addition, the city and the applicant should give consideration toward the provision of electric vehicle parking capabilities within the parking lot.”

Fifty-year mortgages –

what you should know (and why they’re still mostly a concept)

By Ben Soccodato and Chris Kampitsis

There’s been a lot of talk lately about 50-year mortgages. Could they make homeownership more a# ordable? Could they unlock the door to a home for buyers struggling with high prices and high rates?

Maybe. But before you get excited about “lower payments,” there’s a lot more to understand. Here’s a quick look at what a 50-year mortgage could mean and what you should watch out for.

What are 50-Year mortgages and what’s the appeal?

Unlike a 30-year mortgage (the current U.S. standard), a 50-year mortgage spreads your loan payments over fve decades. The main selling points:

• Lower monthly payments. Because the principal is amortized over a longer period, the monthly payment on the same loan amount would be smaller, making it easier to qualify for a loan or manage monthly cash fow;

• Potential for easier entry into expensive markets. For people struggling to aford a home under traditional 30-year fnancing, a 50-year term might increase afordability, at least in the short run;

• Flexibility for buyers expecting to move or refnance. Some consider it a “bridge,” a lower payment now, with plans to sell or refnance later when things (rates, job, income) improve. As one industry voice, Rich DeSimone, senior loan ofcer with Quintessential Mortgage Group, put it: “It’s a nice short-term solution to improve afordability… Long term it will diminish the benefts that have made homeownership so appealing.”

Why a 50-year mortgage could be risky (long-term trade-ofs)

The convenience of lower payments comes with real costs, and they can be steep: Slow equity buildup – With a 50-year amortization schedule, equity accumulates very slowly. In

the early years, most of your payment goes toward interest, not the principal. This means that after 10 or 20 years, you could own far less of your home than you might under a 30-year mortgage.

Much higher lifetime interest payments — Because you’re borrowing (and repaying) over a longer period, total interest cost goes up dramatically. Some analyses show that over the life of the loan, you might pay almost double the amount in interest compared with a 30-year loan.

Sebastian Chica, senior mortgage loan ofcer with Absolute Home Mortgage Corp, is skeptical of the long-term trade-ofs: “If someone uses this program to buy a better home because it’s $200 to $300 per month cheaper, in the long run they shell out a tremendous amount of interest.”

Risk of being ‘underwater’ or limited mobility — Because equity builds slowly, if home values dip or you need to relocate, you might owe close to (or more than) what your home is worth. That could make selling or refnancing difcult, or even impossible without losses.

Debt that lasts decades, possibly into retirement — For borrowers in their 30s or 40s, a 50-year loan could stretch payments well into retirement age. That can complicate long-term fnancial planning, retirement security or even legacy planning.

As Quintessential Mortgage Group’s DeSimone summed it up: “You receive the lowest possible payment… but the interest you pay over a 50-year term will be massive, and you build equity much slower than if it were a 30-year term.”

When (if ever) could a 50-year mortgage make sense?

That doesn’t mean a 50-year mortgage is always a bad idea. In certain situations, with the right context and a clear plan, it might make sense:

• If you expect to sell or refnance within fve to 10 years, then lower payments now could give you breathing room without paying the full long-term cost;

“You receive the lowest possible payment, but the interest you pay over a 50year term will be massive.”

• If you need maximum cash fow fexibility short-term (for example, early career, high expenses or other fnancial obligations);

• If you use the home as a shortterm stepping-stone (not a forever home) and treat the loan as temporary rather than permanent.

In short, and this is key, you might want to use a 50-year mortgage only as a tactical, short-term tool, not a long-term fnancial strategy.

The bottom line – understand the trade-ofs

• Do I need maximum cash fow now or long-term equity and stability?

• Am I comfortable with paying thousands or even hundreds of thousands more in interest?

As Absolute Home Mortgage Corp’s Chica warned: “Longer mortgage terms can be useful if you’re moving soon or upgrading soon — but for long-term wealth building, the cost can be staggering.”

— Rich DeSimone

A 50-year mortgage might sound tempting — lower monthly payments, easier qualifcation and more fexibility. But the trade-ofs of slower equity, much higher total interest and longer debt can turn that appeal into a fnancial burden.

If you hear about 50-year mortgages in the headlines, or if someone suggests it to help you qualify, take a step back. Ask yourself:

• How long do I plan to live in this home?

If you want to explore whether a 50-year mortgage, or another alternative, could make sense for your situation, the best path is to run the numbers carefully, compare with traditional 30-year terms, consider your long-term fnancial goals, and, as always, reach out to a member of the SKG Team.

Because at the end of the day, homeownership isn’t just about getting into a house. It’s about building sustainable fnancial security over decades.

Eye on Small Business –All Heart Baking Co., Mount Vernon

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

When professional fundraiser Teresa Weber was looking for a career change three years ago, the enthusiasm of friends and colleagues for her seasonal cookies persuaded her to turn her home baking into a business, the Mount Vernon-based All Heart Baking Co. In a frank interview, she told the Westfair Business Journal about what the switch involved and her aspirations for her new business. Edited highlights are below.

Teresa, when you frst got started, what were the costs you didn’t expect and what were the “must-haves” versus the “nice-to-haves”?

“I had a pretty good handle on the initial costs when I jumped in. I knew I would need to pay for a website and packaging, etc. As a home-baker, there weren't any upfront equipment costs, although that has shifted now that I’m in a commercial space.”

Is that a shared kitchen, or a dedicated commercial space?

“I started the business at home so that I could maintain a lower overhead and develop the proof of concept. As the business has grown, however, the need for a commercial kitchen became more apparent. I now bake full-time from my own dedicated commercial kitchen, which I lovingly call the ‘studio.’”

And how did you work out pricing?

“From the start, I chose to use premium, all-natural ingredients, so ingredient cost was a big factor in determining pricing. I (also) considered a number of factors – the time it takes to make my cookies; the artisanal nature; the way we package them; the cost of selling in-person, etc.”

Where do most of your sales come from right now?

“Markets/pop-ups with online and custom orders growing rapidly. Moving into our own commercial kitchen has allowed us to start selling cookies outside of New York, so that now we are focused on growing our online business. For example, online sales for Valentine's Day grew by over 230%.”

And what limits you most right now – time, kitchen capacity, delivery/logistics or demand?

“Oof. This is a hard one. I think it's a toss-up between time and kitchen capacity. Our move to a commercial kitchen has been such a boon to the business, but there aren't enough hours in the day to make all the cookies we need to make to meet demand and/or expand.”

What food-safety or local regulations did you need to follow to sell confdently – certifcations, inspections, allergen labeling, etc.?

“We’re considered a small food processor by New York and, as such, we’re governed and licensed by the New York State Department of Agriculture. We follow all of the guidelines issued by the state for small food processors, including the Good Manufacturing Principles. We have certifcations for safe food-handling and have various permits for local municipalities where we sell our cookies. All our cookies include allergen information.”

When you think about the business today, would you say you track success more by number of orders per week/month, average order value or revenue ranges?

“We track success by average sale and overall growth in gross receipts. We have seen average sale steadily increasing, and we'd like to see it over $25/sale by the end of 2026. Gross receipts have showed steady growth with a year-over-year increase of 137% in year one and 157% in year two. Our goal is to double gross sales for year three. Since most of our business has been at in-person markets, fairs or pop-ups, I generally determine if an event has been worthwhile if we sell at least four times the (participation) fee.”

And are there months that are predictably strong or slow? How do you plan ingredients/ stock and manage cash fow when demand swings?

“Now that we are heading into our third year, we have a decent idea of high/low points for demand at markets. However, we don't do the same thing each year so we are still learning. We know that October to December is the busiest time of year and when we make most of our sales, (and) we do a lot of predictive modeling to fgure out what we need to bake and when. For example, we were headed to the Philadelphia Flower Show at the end of February, and we used our experience at the Dutchess County Fair to try and predict what we might need.”

Lastly – one great lesson you’ve learned since setting up All Heart Baking Co., something that stands out above all the others?

“I think the biggest thing I've learned is that I don't know what I don't know so it's important for me to continually talk to other small business owners, other bakers and, above all, customers. Being curious and learning other folks' stories has led to new ideas or changes that have improved the business.”

'Wall to Wall' art for a lawyer turned photographer

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

Bernard Mindich, a former bankruptcy lawyer turned fine art photographer, sees what you might overlook.

A shard of signage, plaster peeking through paint, calligraphic grafti: The Goldens Bridge resident has observed these throwaway moments that become telling details on walls, frst in his native New York City and then all over the world in his travels with wife Ani Kavafan, the classical violinist. With a camera as paintbrush, Mindich captures textures, colors and compositions in what he calls “PhotoPaintings.”

Those “PhotoPaintings” are the subject of “Wall to Wall – Bernard Mindich,” on view through April 12 at Chroma Fine Art Gallery in Katonah, with an opening reception from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 14. There viewers may see works that remind them of Mark Rothko’s color-block paintings, or of other Abstract Expressionist artists or of nothing else in the world.

(2007-08), peeling red and gold paint, with fecks of white plaster peeping through, suggest the jeweled palette of the Byzantine art that once defned that city. In “Sarasota Target-3,” the Target logo glares down like a baleful sun on what looks like a black-and-white sail on a green sea. In “Curacao Bank,” an irregular rectangle of exposed brick ofers a window onto a Caribbean world of blues, greens and yellows, ornamented by a foating dollar sign.

Bernard Mindich's "Self-Portrait."

Mindich didn’t intend to be an artist, growing up in The Bronx and attending William Howard Taft High School, but like the dollar symbol, the signs were there. His two older brothers became artists – one with a sign business, the other studying at The Art Students League in Manhattan.

At 15, however, Mindich knew he wanted to be a lawyer. The history major earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from New York University, then went to NYU School of Law on a partial scholarship, making the Law

AG James to continue fighting

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Live Nation/Ticketmaster in a case that went to trial in New York City last week. Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in 2010 and dominate the live entertainment industry through more than 450 venues worldwide and through the promotion of live entertainment events and sale of tickets.

A lawsuit that was fled against the company during the Biden administration accused the company of monopolizing the ticketing and live

events industry by cutting exclusive deals with the country’s largest venues, ensuring that all their future events were ticketed through the company’s platform.

Although details of the settlement were not immediate announced, according to Politico it is believed that Live Nation/Ticketmaster would have to pay millions of dollars in damages but would be allowed to continue as the giant company it is today. Ticketmaster secure mobile ticket.

The BBC reported that Live Nation will divest itself of 13 concert

venues and pay $280 million in damages to the states that fled suit along with the Biden administration.

Last year, Live Nation named Richard Grenell, who is one of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers to its board of directors.

The judge in the case, Arun Subramanian, was reported to have become upset when learning Monday that the Justice Department and Live Nation had reached a settlement last Thursday and he had been kept in the dark.

"It shows absolute disrespect for the court, the jury and this entire process," the BCC reported Judge Subramanian said in court on March 9. "It is absolutely unacceptable."

But during his 20-year law career, the itch for art grew. He painted “wild abstractions,” using oil sticks on paper or canvas. He sculpted works in wire mesh and plastic with light seeping through and in various metals. Photographing his sculptures led the self-taught artist to photo workshops at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in Manhattan. Street photography led to his wall art. By 1982 he was done with the law and on to a new career in which his works fetch thousands of dollars. But perhaps the law isn’t entirely done with him. After all, a bankruptcy attorney, like an artist, probably also sees what others overlook, no? What’s the best way to stay out of bankruptcy?, we couldn’t resist asking.

Mindich laughed before ofering the simplest, truest advice: “Don’t get into debt.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was involved in fling the lawsuit against Live Nation/Ticketmaster for illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry said, “For years, Live Nation has made enormous profts by exploiting its illegal monopoly and raising costs for shows. My ofce has led a bipartisan group of attorneys general in suing Live Nation for taking advantage of

fans, venues, and artists, and we are committed to holding Live Nation accountable.

“The settlement recently announced with the U.S. Department of Justice fails to address the monopoly at the center of this case, and would beneft Live Nation at the expense of consumers. We cannot agree to it.

“My attorney general colleagues and I have a strong case against Live Nation, and we will continue our lawsuit to protect consumers and restore fair competition to the live entertainment industry.

“We will keep fghting this case without the federal government so that we can secure justice for all those harmed by Live Nation’s monopoly.”

In 2025, Live Nation handled more than 55,000 events that drew 159 million people. It generated an estimated $25.2 billion in 2025 revenues.

Report shows $46M in 2024 sales by Yonkers film and TV production

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, along with Great Point Studios CEO Robert Halmi, the city’s O "ce of Film Director Melissa Goldberg, film producer Jonathan Filley, a director on the TV series “Law & Order” Mike Smith, City Council President Lakisha Collins-Bellamy and City Council Majority Leader John Rubbo gathered at the new Mediapro Studios at 1050 N. Broadway in Yonkers for a March 6 news conference to reveal a new report on the city’s film and TV production activity. The report found that the industry generated approximately $46 million in sales activity and nearly $11.9 million in earnings during 2024. Both Spano and Halmi pointed out that production activity and the number of sound stages have grown since 2024.

Halmi noted that there were only fve sound stages in operation during 2024 and that has now grown to nine active stages, with at least a half dozen more coming soon.

"In 2024 utilization on our stages was 1,000 stage days, that's the number of days rented in each stage added together," Halmi said. "In 2025 that number grew to 1,500. In 2026 we'll have more than 2,000 stage rental days in Yonkers, pretty spectacular. So, the best is yet to come. We're also excited we've attracted some great talent to the area."

The report was prepared by economic development consulting frm Camoin Associates based in Richmond, Virginia. Camoin bills itself as an economic development consulting frm that helps communities and organizations achieve sustainable and equitable growth through expert analysis, efective strategies, and intentional connections.

Camoin reported that there were 124 days in 2024 when a flm or TV program was being shot in Yonkers. It also said that the City of Yonkers collected approximately $961,000 from flm permits, location rental revenue and occupancy tax from hotel stays by people involved in production activities.

The report served as a formal backup to what Spano had said on Jan. 13

of last year when he called 2024 the most successful year for flm and TV production in the city since the flm offce was established in 2012.

"Yonkers has frmly established itself as the premier destination for flm and television in New York, and the impact on our local economy is nothing short of transformative,” Spano said at the news conference. We are seeing a new wave of 'location tourism' where visitors travel from across the country to walk in the same halls they’ve seen on screen. Film in Yonkers is more than an industry — it is a vital engine for our small businesses, our cultural landmarks, and our city’s future.”

Smith said he has been in the city recently scouting new locations for "Law & Order" and hopes to be able to shoot scenes at the city's downtown fre station and also was looking at a number of residences. He commented that shooting scenes for "Law & Order" has gone smoothly each time he has worked in the city, which included flming scenes for the series "Manifest," because of the friendliness of everyone they've encountered.

"We were here two years ago with 'SVU' and I had to break up a very nice conversation between the mayor and Mariska Hargitay ('Law & Order: SVU' star), 'Mariska we're ready for you on set.' It really is a friendly environment here in Yonkers," Smith said.

Yonkers has branded itself as “Hollywood on Hudson” and is home to the largest flm and TV production hub in the Northeast. Great Point Studios currently operates eight sound stages across three locations in Yonkers and plans to expand to have 15 to 20 stages in the city. It also owns PHYGITALFX, a Yonkers-based media production services and equipment rental company. Great Point also owns Hudson Scenic in Yonkers, which builds sets used on Broadway and in flm and TV. Great Point’s Lionsgate Studios in downtown Yonkers was the frst to open in the city. Industry stalwarts besides Lionsgate and Mediapro involved with the Yonkers facilities now include Apple, NBCUniversal, Paramount and Starz, among others.

According to the Camoin report,

“In 2026 we’ll have more than 2,000 stage rental days in Yonkers — pretty spectacular.”

— Robert Halmi

the flm and TV industry creates a multiplier efect throughout the local economy.

“Local restaurants beneft from increased patronage during shoots, hardware stores supply materials for set construction, transportation companies move equipment and personnel, and property owners generate rental income from location fees,” the report said. “This economic activity extends to post-production services, equipment rental facilities, and specialized vendors that support the industry's infrastructure needs.”

The report noted what sets Yonkers apart is not only its physical assets, but the authentic character and civic pride that production teams tap into when they produce their projects in the city.

Among the noteworthy productions doing work in Yonkers have been “The

Penguin” along with “Law & Order: SVU;” and “The Irishman.”

“At the Hudson River Museum, productions from 'The Gilded Age' to 'Severance' have brought renewed attention to historic spaces and generated critical operating revenue during challenging periods, including during the pandemic,” the report said. “Visitors now travel from across the country to explore locations they recognize from flm and television. Museum guests arrive from 45 states and over a thousand ZIP codes, drawn in part by recent screen appearances.”

The report noted, “The continued expansion of studio facilities, the city’s strategic location, and its rich tapestry of flming environments signal that Yonkers’ role in the flm and television economy will continue to grow in scale and signifcance.”

Danbury named among Top 10 diverse cities in nation

By Pamela Brown

Danbury has always been known as a vibrant, forward-thinking, cultural-minded city. Now, it’s also being recognized for its cultural diversity. According to a new study released by WalletHub, the City of Danbury is ranked the 7th most diverse city in the U.S.

“Danbury is proud to be recognized as one of the most diverse cities in the United States of America,” said Mayor Roberto L. Alves. “We know that our city is stronger economically and culturally because of our diversity. Each year that I’ve been in ofce, we’ve worked with local organizations to add more cultural celebrations to our calendar at Danbury’s Heritage Plaza.”

Heritage Plaza is a prominent space located on the Deer Hill side of Danbury City Hall. This space is the site where cultural communities come together to celebrate Independence Day or other moments of important cultural signifcance.

Annually, Danbury partners with community groups to raise fags from Portugal, Italy, Mexico, Greece, Lebanon, the Dominican Republic, Ireland, Ecuador, Haiti, Brazil, and India. More recently, Mayor Alves invited communities to raise the Filipino, Jamaican, PRIDE, and the Pan-African fag for Danbury’s frst-ever Black History Month Celebration at the plaza. Recently, Mayor Alves joined

the Dominican Community Center to raise that country’s fag and on St. Patrick’s Day will raise the fag of Ireland with the Ancient Order of the Hibernians.

As the Trump administration continues to push executive orders that focus on the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, cities and towns are responding by advancing equal opportunities and highlighting diversity within their communities. The City of Danbury remains focused on ways to recognize its diversity and bring the community together to celebrate its vibrant union of cultures.

“These celebrations remind us how fortunate we are to live in a country that allows us to raise another’s fag. As long as I am Mayor, Danbury’s diversity will be celebrated,” Alves said.

Danbury is continuously ranked among the most diverse cities in America, standing just behind New York City and Houston. WalletHub analyzes more than 500 of America’s largest cities in the categories of economic, socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and household diversity. Wallethub’s Top Ten include Silver Spring, Md.; Gaithersburg, Md.; Arlington, Texas; Germantown, Md.; Houston, Texas; New York, NY; Danbury; Charlotte, NC; Los Angeles; and Orlando and Jersey City, NJ, in a tie for No. 10.

According to the Wallethub website,

to identify the most diverse cities in the U.S. WalletHub compared 501 of the largest cities across 13 metrics in fve major diversity categories for. It combines household diversity and religious diversity with its previous reports on socioeconomic diversity, cultural diversity and economic diversity. WalletHub is a personal fnance website.

“The most diverse cities demonstrate diversity in many dimensions – not just

in race and gender but also everything from residents’ languages and birthplaces to their job types and household sizes,” said Chip Lupo, Wallethub analyst. “These cities blend together a multitude of diferent perspectives, helping people to better understand the world around them and become more empathetic. This exchange of ideas also tends to increase the economic success of diverse cities.”

Connecticut Cannabis Chamber wants stronger legal market for its products

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

HARTFORD – The Connecticut Cannabis Chamber of Commerce is seeking reforms to strengthen the legal market for cannabis production and sales. It supports legislation that would modernize the state’s regulated cannabis market while maintaining strong consumer protections and advancing the intent of Connecticut’s social equity program.

During a press event with legislators and industry leaders on Wednesday, the chamber outlined such reforms designed to strengthen the legal market, improve competitiveness with neighboring states, and ensure the long-term sustainability of Connecticut’s cannabis industry. The priorities align with testimony submitted by the Chamber and industry stakeholders in support of HB 5350, a bill currently before the General Law Committee.

The bill would, among many things, replace the term "marijuana" with "cannabis," redefne "cannabis,"

authorize qualifying out-ofstate patients to access the state's palliative use cannabis market, establish a cannabis regulatory working group and prohibit a retailer, hybrid retailer or dispensary facility from borrowing money or receiving credit from a cultivator, micro-cultivator or producer for more than 30 days.

“Connecticut created a highly regulated cannabis marketplace with strong safety standards, but the market must evolve as the industry matures,” said Nikole Burnes, executive director of the Connecticut Cannabis Chamber of Commerce. “Our proposals are measured reforms that preserve consumer protections while ensuring licensed businesses can compete with neighboring states and the illicit market.”

Among the chamber’s priorities are tax rationalization to improve price parity with neighboring states, modernization of marketing and packaging standards, product potency ad-

justments aligned with national norms, and updates to the Social Equity Joint Venture program to ensure long-term sustainability for equity partners.

Social equity partners are those people who were disproportionally afected by marijuana prohibition laws, such as those convicted of a drug ofense and living in poverty-stricken areas.

General Law Committee

Chair Rep. Roland Lemar (D-New Haven) said lawmakers are carefully reviewing industry feedback as part of the legislative process.

“The General Law Committee has heard extensive testimony from industry participants, equity partners, regulators, and public safety advocates as we evaluate HB 5350,” Lemar said. “Our responsibility is to listen carefully and work collaboratively to address legitimate concerns while maintaining Connecticut’s commitment to consumer protection and responsible regulation.”

Adam Wood, president of the chamber, emphasized the importance of addressing regional competition.

“Connecticut made a deliberate choice to build a regulated cannabis market focused on safety and accountability,” he said. “But when our efective tax rate is nearly double that of neighboring states, consumers will look elsewhere. Aligning our tax structure with regional realities will strengthen the legal market and support long-term revenue and public health goals.”

Industry leaders also stressed the importance of ensuring the legal market can efectively compete with illicit sellers.

“As a licensed retail operator, we operate under strict rules while unregulated sellers advertise freely online,” said Carl Tirella, owner of Budr, which operates Fairfeld County shops in Danbury and Stratford. “Allowing responsible advertising and reasonable packaging fexibility will help consumers identify legal, compliant businesses and keep purchases in the regulated market.”

During the hearing product standards and packaging rules were also highlighted as areas where modernization could strengthen the regulated market.

“Our customers are adults who want clear information, consistent dosing, and product options that align with what they see in neighboring states,” said Ben Zachs, owner of Fine Fettle, which operates shops in Norwalk and

Stamford. “Updating potency limits and allowing responsible branding helps regulated businesses compete while maintaining strict safety protections.”

Social equity partners emphasized the importance of ensuring the state’s equity program remains viable for long-term entrepreneurship.

“We applaud the continued engagement of legislators as we collaboratively refne safe, age-appropriate access to this medicine which can bring relief when used responsibly. House Bill 5350 represents a bold step forward in ensuring the viability of our social-equity focused cannabis framework,” said Paul Travaglino, founder of Enlightened Foods LLC.

“Connecticut’s social equity program was designed to create opportunity, and for many of us it has done exactly that,” said Kenard Ray, social equity partner at Fine Fettle. “The framework must evolve so we can truly be in charge of our own ownership.”

“Equity isn’t just about access—it’s about durability,” added Jocelyn Cerda, social equity partner at Shangri-La, which operates a annabis cultivation, processing and manufacturing plant in Stratford. “Modernizing the Equity Joint Venture program while maintaining Social Equity Council oversight will ensure these businesses can adapt, attract investment responsibly, and remain competitive.”

The Chamber noted that its priorities were developed following months of listening sessions with industry participants, policymakers, and regulators.

“The goal of legalization was to create a safe, transparent, and equitable marketplace,” chamber Executive Director Burnes said. “These targeted reforms will help ensure the regulated cannabis industry in Connecticut can continue to grow responsibly while delivering on those goals.”
