McChords unveil final vision for Manresa Wilds, backed by $410M initial private investment

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

NORWALK – The final vision of the 125acre waterfront park in Norwalk called Manresa Wilds was officially introduced to the public last week by city philanthropists Austin and Allison McChord along with its price tag of $410 million to remediate and transform the site.

Anchored by the former the former Connecticut Light & Power and NRG power plant — reimagined as a community hub — Manresa Wilds is expected to welcome people of all ages to reconnect with the waterfront by 2035.

Its core values center around reconnecting to the water, creating a place to gather near the Long Island Sound, learning from the three different environmental pockets, wandering a connected trail network and “playing” in a sand lab, fort forest and “The Wilds.” The park will include the Turbine Hall (88,000 square feet) gathering place, Administrative Building (20,000 square feet) that will support the public beach and community pool and provide a sundeck, the Smokestack that will be wrapped by a 4,000-square-foot pavilion at its base and the Boiler Building (120,000 square feet) that will provide space for educational and community programming.

“One of things associated with this is ‘how do we pay for all this?’” Austin McChord told the crowd of about 300 Norwalk area residents Feb. 19 at the Maritime Aquarium. “We’ve been thinking about that. We are aware that we are pretty in deep here. What we want to share today is that we have a very good understanding about what is needed in preparing the site.

“Teams have been out studying the soil, studying the tides, studying all the animals.

That number is far more expensive than the fun stuff.”

That’s when he unveiled a slide on the huge Maritime Aquarium screen that broke down that cost: Land Master Plan, Design and Community Engagement ($45 million), Abatement, Remediation and Infrastructure ($220 million), Circulation and Accessibility ($42 million) and Ecology/Nature Restoration ($103 million). Total: $410 million.

During the presentation, a slide on the Maritime Aquarium screen outlined how that estimated $410 million initial investment is allocated: Land Master Plan, Design and Community Engagement ($45 million), Abatement, Remediation and Infrastructure ($220 million), Circulation and Accessibility ($42 million) and Ecology/Nature Restoration ($103 million). Total: $410 million.

However, he emphasized that he and his wife are privately funding the initial investment required to remediate and transform the site. The project is funded entirely by private philanthropy through the nonprofit 501 (c)(3) Manresa Island Corp. He is the founder of the IT software firm Datto, which he sold for $6 billion in 2022 to Kaseya.

“What I hope you see in all of this is that the values come through,” Austin McChord said. “Your feedback has really helped us to build a better design and hopefully it will be a much better park, when all is said and done.”

Austin McChord announced that the Northern Forest section of the park will be the “first piece of the puzzle” to be put in place by next year. “We’re really excited to be in a position to open it at this time next year,” he said. “In 2028, our plan is when the real construction will start, assuming all the planning and zoning (will be approved). (Between) 2032 and 2035 will be when (all of) Manresa Wilds opens.”

Gena Wirth, design principal and partner of SCAPE, also spoke to the crowd about the specifics of the final vision of the project from a design and architectural angle.

“There has been over a year of public engagement,” she said. “Over 3,000 community voices have been reached in this process. Over 2,000 people have actually sat on the island and have experienced the drama and magic of the wild landscape.”

The final vision sets a clear path toward a healthy, resilient, and welcoming public landscape that unlocks access to nearly two miles of Connecticut coastline, she added. Since announcing the project in October 2024, Manresa Island Corp. has held large-scale public meetings, surveys, site tours, and conversations with neighborhood groups, local businesses,

“What I hope you see in all of this is that the values come through. Your feedback has really helped us to build a better design — and hopefully it will be a much better park, when all is said and done.”

educators, and civic leaders.

In response to the community feedback, the vision has evolved significantly, with the design team incorporating thousands of substantive refinements, including:

• Expanded natural areas and habitat protection by 30% while reducing hardscape and active features throughout the site by half

• Concentrated the most active amenities to the southernmost end of the site and reduced the footprint of active programming across the site

• Enhanced access through robust transit infrastructure supporting multiple modes of arrival, including designated bus drop-off areas, pier activation, and parking throughout the site

• Minimized lighting and reduced water features throughout the site to protect wildlife and neighboring residents

• Next steps

— Austin McChord

At the event, the McChords, Manresa Island Corp. Executive Director Jessica Vonashek and representatives from landscape architecture firm SCAPE and architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) shared the design with over 300 community members, alongside education partners Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Wesleyan University, Sacred Heart University, and Norwalk Public Schools.

“Tonight marks an incredible milestone since we first embarked on this endeavor almost two years ago,” Allison McChord said. “We’ve spent this time listening to what Norwalkers want from Manresa Wilds and made thousands of changes to the plan to ensure it can be the best park possible.”

The second phase of the project (2031-32) includes the vast majority of the landscape plan, the adaptive reuse of the Turbine Hall and Administrative Building, the community pool and pavilion, and the nature play area. The third phase (2032-35) will include the beachfront promenade, kayak terrace, additional play areas, and a pier and field station. The Boiler Building will be preserved throughout this phasing, with its adaptation and programming part of the future construction phase that is pending partner activation.

They want regulatory oversight, more fair governance structure of $2.4B utility sale

Municipal leaders urge legislature to ‘fix’ Aquarion Water Authority law

Regional municipal leaders and a bipartisan group of state legislators this week have called on the state legislature to pass a bill that would require regulatory oversight and change the governance of the Aquarion Water Authority following its $2.4 billion purchase of Aquarion Water Co. from Eversource Energy last year.

During a hearing of the state legislative Energy and Technology Committee on Tuesday municipal leaders and legislators testified in support of a bill that would amend last year’s legislation that created the Aquarion Water Authority for the purpose of the water company sale. The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority’s (RWA) acquisition of the financially strapped Aquarion Water Co. needs approval by the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) in order to proceed.

However, elected officials from 26 municipalities as well as regional councils have voiced their opposition to the sale and RWA’s change in control application with PURA.

Both Western Connecticut Council of Governments and Metro Connecticut Council of Governments urged lawmakers to act to ensure that Aquarion Water customers consumer protections, transparency, and local representation are not diminished.

Under the current framework, Aquarion operates under PURA oversight, which provides independent review of rates, service quality, infrastructure investments, and consumer complaints. If the sale proceeds, PURA would no longer retain jurisdiction over the new water authority.

“Once this deal is approved, PURA will have no oversight over the new authority,” said Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi, chair of WestCOG. “Consumers would lose independent regulatory protection against excessive rate increases and lose access to PURA’s Customer Affairs Resolution Center.

“That is a fundamental change in accountability, and the Legislature should ensure that Connecticut ratepayers are not left without meaningful safeguards. I encourage the Energy

and Technology Committee to approve this bill and pass it via emergency certification. I cannot think of a greater emergency for Connecticut consumers.”

The bill proposed by Rep. Joseph Gresko, D-Stratford, would amend the charter of the RWA to address the potential acquisition. The bill would:

• Grant the RWA board the authority to act on behalf of the Aquarion Water Authority until its own board members are appointed

• Outline the composition of the Aquarion Water Authority board, which would consist of 11 members once PURA approves the acquisition. PURA's approval is a critical condition, and appointments to the boards would not occur until this approval is granted.

• Detail the powers of the Aquarion Water Authority, including its ability to acquire water companies, operate water systems, and enter into agreements with other entities, all while remaining subject to certain regulations and local zoning laws, with specific exceptions for its facilities.

State Sen. Tony Hwang, R-Fairfield, in testimony emphasized that the bill is about reaffirming the legislature’s intent that utility transactions of this magnitude must remain subject to robust PURA review and must clearly satisfy the statutory requirement that outcomes serve the public interest, including ratepayer protections, due process, and enforceable accountability.

“Water is not an ordinary commodity, it is essential to life, public health, environmental protection, and economic stability,” Hwang said. “That’s why rate affordability, transparency, and accountability must be non-negotiable. HB 5249 is a common sense step to reinforce legislative intent and ensure PURA’s regulatory oversight is respected and strengthened — so families and seniors aren’t forced to absorb unchecked rate increases or see costs shifted onto local taxpayers.”

State Sen. Ryan Fazio, R-Greenwich, also voiced support for the legislation on Wednesday.

“This bill is about standing up for

ratepayers,” said Sen. Fazio. “When you are talking about multi-billion-dollar utility transactions that could dramatically raise water bills, there must be transparency, accountability, and meaningful regulatory oversight.”

Last year, Fazio was a leading voice opposing the proposed Aquarion Water Company acquisition. He warned that the purchase price would ultimately fall on the backs of consumers and cited concerns about long-term rate increases and structural issues.The legislation comes after renewed public attention surrounding the transaction.

In October 2025, PURA denied the application, citing concerns related to governance, rate impacts, and regulatory oversight. In January 2026, a Superior Court judge remanded the matter to PURA for further review.

PURA is expected to act following a March 25 filing deadline.

Municipal leaders and legislators have had conversations with legislative leadership about including the bill in the emergency certification legislation to be considered by the General Assembly later this week. This timeframe would allow regulators to have the benefit of this legislation prior to their March 25 deadline.

Legislative testimony

Among many people who either testified at the Capitol Tuesday in favor of the bill or wrote letters in support were municipal leaders from Fairfield, Greenwich, Trumbull, Easton, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Westport and Monroe.

State Consumer Counsel Claire Coleman answered questions from Energy and Technology Committee members about the bill. One such dialogue was between Coleman and state Rep. Dave Yaccarino, R-New Haven.

When asked why Coleman was opposed to RWA’s change in control application, Coleman cited governance issues and the possible financial impact on customers.

“While the governance structure was a concern, particularly a concern to towns, it was the biggest driver that led us not to support the application as written,” Coleman said. “We actually suggested the application be denied without prejudice. Because of the complex structure of the financial proceedings, we really were con-

cerned with the risk premium, the amount of the purchase price and how that translates into debt service over many years for customers.”

Yaccarino rebutted by calling such information false.

“I think there’s false information about RWA,” he said. “I think it’s that I would rather have someone in Connecticut overseeing all of our water. The rates are going to be the same anyway. Water is fairly inexpensive,which is a good thing.”

All 26 municipalities that formally intervened in the PURA proceeding opposed the transaction. Recent briefs filed by intervening municipalities and the Office of Consumer Counsel reiterate that the proposal is not in the public interest, citing guaranteed rate increases, the reported inclusion of a $500 million acquisition premium in the rate base, and structural governance concerns.

“Don’t be misled by the name ‘Aquarion Water Authority,’” said Trumbull First Selectwoman Vicki Tesoro, Chair of MetroCOG. “Under this proposal, Aquarion communities become the minority voice in decisions about their drinking water and rates. That is not a substitute for independent regulatory oversight, nor does it reflect equitable governance.”

Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti reiterated Tesoro’s concerns.

“Shelton residents depend on reliable, affordable water service, and they deserve the same strong, independent regulatory oversight they have today,” he said. “This proposed transaction raises serious concerns about long-term rate impacts, governance, and accountability. I urge the General Assembly to act swiftly to preserve transparency, consumer safeguards, and a fair voice for Aquarion communities.”

Rep. Chris Rosario, D-Bridgeport, underscored the impact on communities of color and working-class cities served by Aquarion. “With this proposal, the communities I represent stand to pay more while losing both oversight and a voice,” he said. “I am deeply concerned that this deal would increase financial burdens on working-class families, eliminate PURA’s independent oversight and consumer protections, and permanently place Aquarion customers in the minority on a new governing board.

State to provide $16M for New Rochelle LINC project

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was in New Rochelle on Feb. 18 to announce $16 million in state funding awarded to advance New Rochelle’s LINC (Linking Innovation, Nature, and Community) Project, which had been jeopardized by federal funding cuts. The project was threatened with being shut down when the federal funding was rescinded. The state funding will allow the project to proceed.

The LINC Project is New Rochelle’s plan to transform into a linear park and neighborhood connector a section of Memorial Highway, which was originally built in the 1960s and was responsible for isolating a historically Black neighborhood. The project will change the existing six-lane highway into a local street and green corridor, connecting downtown, the train station, the public library, and Lincoln Avenue.

“Cuts by the Trump Administration threatened to derail this LINC Project for the New Rochelle community — and that's why I'm stepping up to fill the gap and ensure that this vital plan can proceed," Hochul said. “By transforming an outdated highway

into green space, safe streets and vibrant public gathering places we are bringing communities together that were divided for generations.

The City of New Rochelle is a prime example of what can be accomplished when we let municipalities build, build, build.”

New Rochelle Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert said, “This support advances a transformational effort that strengthens economic connection, supports working families, and ensures that as New Rochelle grows, we do so thoughtfully and in a way that benefits residents today and for generations to come. We are grateful for the state’s partnership and shared commitment to that vision.”

As part of her “Let Them Build” agenda, Hochul also toured Stella housing Phases I & II and highlighted the ongoing success of housing development of all types across New Rochelle including market-rate, mixed income and affordable developments. She noted that collaboration between the city, state, county, and other stakeholders has resulted in the creation of approximately 4,500 new housing units since 2020.

"We are bringing communities together that were divided for generations.”

— Kathy Hochul

Hochul praised New Rochelle for its efforts in recent years that have resulted in new buildings that have attracted new people to the downtown.

“I've been saying this for four straight years,” Hochul said. “‘You build more supply, the prices will go down,’ right? Supply and demand Economics 101, which I didn't even take a class, I just knew this without even taking the class, right? I didn't even need to take a class. You build more supply, the prices go down. The average rent in this community has dropped by three-to-five percent. So look at the national trends or the statewide trends. The rents are going up exponentially. Nationwide is up about 31%. But It's dropping here in New Rochelle because they had the

ambition to keep building.”

A Pew study found that New Rochelle increased annual housing permits from 39 units in 2017 to 989 new units a year recently, which contributed to a decline in average rent growth from 12% in 2017-2020 to 7% in 2020-2023 at a time when rents nationwide have been rising at double digits.

Congressman George Latimer, whose New York 16th Congressional district covers part of the Bronx and Westchester, drew a contrast between what is happening in New Rochelle and what is happening in some other U.S. cities.

“You needed this money from the state because this federal administration and this leadership of both houses of Congress have abandoned America’s greatest needs,” Latimer said. “They’ve lost themselves in ideology. They’ve wrapped themselves in rhetoric. They’re prepared to do violence on the streets of a city as opposed to help build up a city which is exactly what you’re doing … in the City of New Rochelle.”

Latimer characterized Hochul’s visit to New Rochelle as a moment to be celebrated and one in which people can draw a sharp contrast between what’s happening in New Rochelle and what’s happening elsewhere.

“We offer the people of this country … two visions,” Latimer said. “Do you want this kind of a city where you’re breaking down barriers and bringing people together or do you want that kind of a city where you pepper spray people who come out to properly protest? That’s your choice, America. We’ve decided in New Rochelle, in Westchester County, in the state of New York, this is what we want to see.”

NY state to pay for well testing for PFAS

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

New York State Sen. Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Chris Burdick say that New York state will pay for homeowners to test their water wells for PFAS in a rebate program based on legislation they had sponsored.

PFAS refers to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAS known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down over time. They have been linked in numerous studies to serious health conditions, including thyroid disease, liver damage and kidney cancer. Under New York’s PFAS Removal

Treatment Rebate Program, the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation is directed to reimburse private well owners for PFAS testing and, if contamination exceeds state standards, for the installation of filtration systems or connection to a nearby public water supply.

"Nothing can be more important than the health of our residents,” Burdick said. “Homeowners need to know whether their water is safe, and if not, that removing PFAS can be done without undue financial burden.”

Harckham said. “No family should have to face this crisis alone. Clean -

up is extraordinarily costly, and it is unacceptable to force homeowners to bear that burden to protect their health. Access to clean water is a fundamental right, and this program ensures communities are protected without placing additional financial strain on families.”

Under state regulations PFAS in public drinking water is limited to no more than 10 parts per trillion. The standard has not previously been applied to private wells.

According to Harckham and Burdick, a recent study by the U. S. Geological Survey estimated that 56% of private well owners in New York may be affected by PFAS contamination.

The state’s Environmental Facilities Corporation has been allocated funding to establish the rebate program. Under the program, individuals may be reimbursed up to $5,000 for PFAS filtration systems, up to $10,000 to connect to a public water system and up to $1,500 for ongoing testing and maintenance.

During its first year, the program will operate as a pilot in six counties: Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester. Each participating county will receive $1.5 million in initial funding, totaling $9 million, with the remaining $3 million held in reserve to address additional needs.

Digging out from Hernando is

a major effort

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Digging out from Hernando, the major storm that pounded the Northeast with heavy snow and high winds, got underway in earnest on Feb. 24, which greeted snowed-in residents with a bright, blue sky. More than 40 million people had been under blizzard warnings as a result of Hernando moving up the coast from the mid-Atlantic into New England.

The National Weather Service (NWS) reported that the highest wind recorded in Westchester during the storm was in Somers, which was hit by a 67 miles per hour (mph) gust. The peak wind at Westchester County Airport was 52 mph. In Fairfield County, Bridgeport Airport reported a 53 mph gust, while in Stamford the peak recorded wind was 41 mph.

The NWS reported that Bridgeport Airport recorded 20 inches of snow from the storm. In Danbury, 18 inches fell. Snowfall in Greenwich was recorded at 13 inches, while Stamford had 16 inches.

In Westchester, just one mile southeast of Hartsdale 24 inches of snow were recorded. A measurement taken one mile south of Valhalla also recorded 24 inches of snow on the ground. Mount Vernon had 18.8 inches of snow.

In Providence, Rhode Island, almost 33 inches of snow had fallen at the city’s major airport. More than 27 inches were reported at Newark Airport and more than 22 inches had fallen at LaGuardia Airport.

Most schools remained closed for a second day on Tuesday throughout the New York metro area, including Westchester and Fairfield County in Connecticut. New York City schools

did open. All Broadway show performances were canceled for Monday night. New York City reported that the storm brought down more than 300 trees throughout the five boroughs.

Bans on road travel for nonessential personnel in Westchester and around most parts of the New York Metro area had been extended until as late as 6 p.m on Monday. On Tuesday, roads and highways were not entirely clear and drivers were urged to use caution. Especially tricky were on- and off-ramps for highways. There were numerous reports of accidents in the New York metro area, including some overturned vehicles. Bee-Line buses and Paratransit Service in Westchester that was suspended for Monday resumed on Tuesday. Metro-North rail service was affected with reduced service and train delays.

Con Edison on Monday afternoon was reporting localized areas of Westchester without power, affecting more than one thousand customers.

As of Tuesday morning, two areas in Westchester remained without power affecting 25 customers. At Westchester County Airport, on Turesday there were scattered cancellations of both arrivals and departures with some flights running late.

Before the storm hit, Gov. Kathy Hochul speaking at a state snow removal equipment depot in Latham, New York, declared a State of Emergency in 22 counties. They included Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester. She also activated the New York National Guard.

In Connecticut, Gov. Ned Lamont activated the state’s Severe Cold Weather Protocol with the activation

remaining in effect until at least noon on Tuesday.

The purpose of Connecticut’s Severe Cold Weather Protocol is to ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive protection from the severe cold, which could be life threatening if exposed to the elements for extended periods of time. While enacted, a system is set up for state agencies and municipalities to coordinate with United Way 2-1-1 and Connecticut’s network of shelters to make sure that anyone in need can receive shelter from the outdoors, including transportation to shelters.

“It will be extremely dangerous to be outside during this storm, and we want to get the word out that shelters and warming centers are open state-

wide for anyone who needs a safe place to stay warm,” Lamont said.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins had declared a State of Emergency for the county effective Feb. 22 at 6 p.m.

Jenkins said, “We are taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of our residents.”

When he declared a State of Emergency, Rockland County Executive Ed Day said, “This decisive action is necessary to protect lives and ensure our road crews can clear snow as quickly and safely as possible."

A forecast discussion by meteorologists for the National Weather Service that was reviewed by Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal explained that with most storms one inch of water from the storm produces 10 inches of snow, but this storm was so intense that one inch of water is expected to produce 13 inches of snow.

New York Attorney General Letitia James urged residents to be aware of possible price gouging by unscrupulous merchants seeking to make extra money as a result of the storm.

“Winter weather is no excuse for price gouging,” James said. “I encourage everyone to be vigilant and report examples of price gouging in their community to my office.”

She said that New York law prohibits businesses from taking unfair advantage of consumers by selling goods or services that are vital to health, safety, or welfare for an unconscionably excessive price during emergencies. The price gouging law covers New York state vendors, retailers, and suppliers, and includes essential goods and services that are necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of consumers or the general public. These goods and services include food, water, gasoline, generators, batteries, flashlights, hotel lodging, and transportation options.

Winter storm dumps 8-14 inches of snow in Fairfield County

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

This story has been updated with power outage figures from United Illuminating and Eversource Energy.

The second winter storm in a month so has left more than 1,500 customers without power in Fairfield County as some areas received at least 8 inches of snow and more than a foot in a couple of communities.

The second winter storm in a month so has left more than 1,500 customers without power in Fairfield County as some areas received at least 8 inches of snow and more than a foot in a couple of communities.

Schools and some government offices have been closed due to the storm. Gov. Ned Lamont Sunday announced he ordered all State of Connecticut executive branch office buildings closed to the public on Monday.

As of 10 a.m. Monday, Ridgefield had the most snow with 14 inches followed by Danbury and Bridgeport with 11 inches and Stamford with 10 inches.

For the duration of this storm-related closure, the governor directed that:

• Level 1 executive branch state employees should report to work as scheduled or directed.

• Level 2 executive branch state employees should not report to work in-person to their state offices/work locations. Additionally:

• Level 2 employees who are scheduled to telework on Monday should do so or use their accrued leave; and

• Level 2 employees who are scheduled to report to work in-person to their state offices/work locations on Monday are requested, though not required, to telework, in accordance with the executive branch telework policy.

Decisions regarding the operations of judicial and legislative branch offices are made by the leaders of those respective branches of state government.

“This is an intense storm and it is expected to continue throughout Monday morning and into the afternoon before finally tapering off,” the governor said. “I am urging everyone who does not need to be on the roads to avoid all unnecessary, non-essential travel and do their best to stay home and stay safe.”

As part of the state’s storm protocol, the Connecticut State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) became activated effective Sunday and will remain staffed with representatives of various state agencies and partner organizations throughout the duration of the storm. More snow is predicted in the early afternoon before it tapers off.

Leads to school, office closings and nearly 1,500 in power outages

POWER OUTAGES

United Illuminating, a subsidiary of Avangrid that serves most of Fairfield County and nearby New Haven County, reported at 9:57 a.m. that there were 1,156 customers without power. The municipalities most affected are Orange (500), Milford (245), Trumbull (89) and Fairfield (40). Eversource Energy, which serves some municipalities in western Fairfield County, reported the following outages in New Canaan (149), Greenwich (103), Weston (87) and Ridgefield (48). Statewide the power utility reported more than 14,000 outages, most of which occurred outside Fairfield County.

As of 1 p.m. Monday UI is making significant progress on restoring power for customers experiencing an outage due to the current snowstorm. More than 4,000 customers have already been restored, and there are approximately 450 customers currently without power, according to spokesperson Angela Baccaro.

“The heavy snow and gusting wind, along with downed trees and pole hits from motor vehicle accidents, have resulted in power outages across our service territory,” said Angela Baccaro, UI spokesperson. “We are grateful for our crews that have been working hard since early this morning to get everyone’s power back on as quickly and safely

as possible. The winds present a challenge for working on power lines, but we have already made significant progress with restoration efforts and expect that the worst of it is behind us. We continue to monitor the situation and encourage customers to stay home and stay away from any downed wires.”

She added that customers can also visit the UI website to report outages at any time and sign up for outage alerts to receive up-to-date information on estimated restoration times.

As of 3 p.m., Eversource has restored power to more than 24,000 customers since the storm began. Approximately 8,700 customers in Connecticut remain without power as a result of the blizzard and crews will stay on the job until service is restored to all affected customers.

Yonkers movie studio plan downsized

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The plan to build a movie and TV production complex on an approximately 28-acre parcel at 501 Hawthorne Ave., in Yonkers that had been owned by Rising Ground/Leake and Watts has been scaled back. Some neighbors expressed their opposition to the proposal.

National Resources’ i.Park Riverdale LLC had purchased the approximately 28-acre Hawthorne Avenue property from Rising Ground Inc., in December of 2022 for $52.6 million. National Resources, based in Greenwich, has been instrumental in creating with Great Point Studios the Lionsgate and Mediapro movie and

TV production facilities in Yonkers.

In an initial phase of development at the Rising Ground site, the existing Biondi School Building and Ames School Building on the property was refurbished to create the Robert Halmi Sr. Academy for Film & Television. The public middle and high school operated by the Yonkers Board of Education was opened with a formal ribbon-cutting last Sept. 25. Robert Halmi Sr. was a renowned movie and TV producer and the father of Great Point’s Robert Halmi Jr. Originally proposed for the site was a studio complex that had five soundstages. The proposal called for

“You notice that we started with something, we shrunk it, and now we gave it what I call the Wegovy treatment. It lost 30% of its mass, its footprint and everything else.”

four 20,000-square-feet stages and one 10,000-square-feet stage. Also planned was 60,000 square feet of carpentry and set-building shop space along with office space, associated truck parking and an approximately 250-space parking garage.

According to revised plans now being reviewed by the Yonkers Planning Board, the proposed film studio complex has been reduced to three sound stages, two at 20,000 square feet and one at 10,000 square feet. The scenic construction space would be 15,090 square feet and a second floor warehouse would be 16,443 square feet. The garage has been eliminated and 170 at-grade parking spaces are proposed in two lots, one for staff and one for visitors. The setback from the adjacent residential street Valentine Lane is proposed to be increased with additional landscaping, including 125 new trees, added.

— Lynn Ward, cofounder of National Resources

Lynn Ward, co-founder of National Resources, said, “This is part of this ‘Hollywood on the Hudson’ concept that has been generating many impacts in Yonkers, jobs specifically. You notice that we started with something, we shrunk it, and now we gave it what I call the Wegovy (weight loss drug) treatment. It lost 30% of its mass, its footprint and everything else.”

Ward said that they looked for things they could do to make the proposed new building better blend in with the buildings that already are on the site. She said color was the element that most stood out and the materials proposed to be used for

the exterior of the new building were selected to be in harmony with the colors of materials used in the construction of the existing buildings.

Ward said that so far the studios already built and operating in Yonkers have brought 2,278 new jobs to the city.

“I think that speaks to economic feasibility,” Ward said. “There are 1,000 indirectly created jobs, which is spinoff business to the small restaurants, the bakeries, the coffee shops, the dry cleaners, all those types of businesses.”

Ward said that the movie and TV studios that National Resources has helped bring to Yonkers are the face of the new Yonkers.

“I realize change is hard,” Ward said. “But this is, in fact, the economic vitality that is keeping the city going. It’s been open to new ideas. Those new ideas have regenerated and regenerated and made for the success that Yonkers is today.”

During a public hearing, Eileen O’Connor, a Valentine Lane resident who serves on the board of a neighborhood association, said that the neighbors specifically want to talk with National Resources about moving the proposed studio building to a different spot on the property so it would not be visible from Valentine Lane. She said that neighbors believe a group of cottages on the site could be demolished, the studio building constructed there and the section currently designated for the studio building could remain as open space.

Yorktown considers zoning change for Foothill Road townhouses

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Yorktown’s Town Board  is considering a request for a zoning change for a 16.8acre parcel at 3850 Foothill Road that would allow townhouses to be built. The property is located in the R1-40 zone, which is a residential zone requiring minimum one-acre lots.

The site is in the northwest part of the Town of Yorktown near the border with Putnam Valley. It is about one mile from the Cortlandt Town Center commercial district.

The applicant, Anthony Genovese of Mahopac, previously had planned a seven lot subdivision that would comply with current zoning and would involve the development of single-family houses. Now, an alternative is being proposed that is presented as resulting in less distur-

bance to the land and lower development cost while providing more housing units. It would require a rezoning to the R-3 Multi-Family Residence district. There would be four townhouse buildings containing a total of 20 units with two bedrooms in each unit. The rental units would be 1,200 square feet or 1,500 square feet. Garages are not proposed in order to reduce the building footprints. Four units would be developed as affordable units reserved for Town of Yorktown residents. There would be 45 parking spaces provided.

Sarah Wilson, chair of the Yorktown Community Housing Board, has come out in favor of the multifamily proposal. She points out that the proposal would add to the diversity of housing opportunities

in the area, that the four affordable units address an urgent need in the community, and that the 20-unit clustered proposal would connect to sewers and disturb less land than would single-family houses with septic systems.

Westchester County Planning Board Chairman Bernard Thombs in providing the board’s comments on the zoning change proposal said, “utilization of the property as a clustered, townhouse-style development would allow for increased housing in a manner that conserves more woodland and wetland open space than the seven single-family units that would be permitted under the existing zoning.”

Thombs pointed out that because the property contains steep slopes and wetlands the town should “carefully analyze the suitability of development in general being conducted on the site, in order to ensure the

benefits of increased housing are not outweighed by negative environmental impacts.”

He also pointed out that the neighborhood is automobile-oriented and there is a lack of safe and direct pedestrian and bicycle connections to nearby stores, schools, and other amenities.

“We recommend that consideration be given to ensuring that safe pedestrian and bicycle pathways are established to connect residents to the hamlet center, including both street sidewalks and pathways,” Thombs said.

Pitney Bowes names president of its bank, four other executive appointments

SHELTON – Pitney Bowes Inc. last week appointed Steve Fischer as the new president of The Pitney Bowes Bank effective immediately.

Fischer, who brings three decades of experience in the banking and finance worlds, previously held positions that include CEO of TIAA Bank and vice chair of EverBank Financial Corp.

Fischer joins at a time when PB Bank is expected to play an important role in the Company’s go-forward strategy for profitable growth and nearly two months after the parent company moved its headquarters to Shelton from Stamford.

PB Bank enables Pitney Bowes to offer postage payment options and other value-added financing solutions to approximately 400,000 customers. It also holds more than $575 million of low-cost, long-duration deposits that can help drive attractive risk-adjusted returns with the proper infrastructure and processes in place.

"As we have been working to rebuild our leadership team over the past eight months, a core focus has been recruiting experienced executives with records of driving profitable growth and value creation at successful organizations,” said Kurt Wolf, CEO and board director. “That is exactly what we are getting in Steve (Fischer). He has a strategic vision for establishing the people, processes and plans required to responsibly grow PB Bank.”

In addition, Pitney Bowes on Feb. 17 announced four new executive appointments:

• Benoit Robinot, SVP, head of shipping, oversees a recently consolidated shipping organization within SendTech. He is leading efforts to modernize and scale shipping capabilities by developing software solutions that address customers’ most urgent needs. Robinot previously held senior leadership roles at Amazon.

• Kevin Collins, senior vice president, SendTech strategy, assumes a newly created role focused on growth, adjacencies and strategic partnerships. He joins after serving as President of ACI Logistix.

• Vaishali Patel, vice president, Presort Client Success, is focused on accelerating client acquisition and further elevating the Company’s industry-leading service performance. She joins the company from Hill & Smith.

• David Cossitt-Levy, vice president, financial planning and analysis, is tasked with strengthening forecasting accuracy and unlocking valuable business insights from the company’s extensive data assets. He was most recently held the same title at IQVIA, a company with a market capitalization of more than $28 billion and $15+ billion in annual revenue. "These four appointments are the direct result of us identifying fixable

Longtime digital shipping solutions provider also moves HQ to Shelton

issues and tangible opportunities for value creation during the first phase of our strategic review,” Wolf said. “This follows an eight-month period in which I have appointed five new individuals to our seven-member executive team, which has in turn been actively refreshing talent across business segments and corporate functions."

As of Jan. 1, 2026, Pitney Bowes has relocated its corporate headquarters from 3001 Summer St. in Stamford to 27 Waterview Drive in Shelton. This move closes a century-long presence in Stamford and is part of a "cultural reset" and cost-cutting strategy aimed at accelerating turnaround efforts.

Eye on Small Business: Pro Eyecare, Greenwich

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

With an office in Darien offering stateof-the-art treatment, Pro Eyecare has opened an another in Greenwich – replacing one in Old Greenwich and marking what its founder, optometrist Inna Lazar, OD, calls “a major milestone in the practice’s growth and commitment to delivering exceptional eye health services.”

Recently, the Westfair Business Journal had a conversation with Lazar about the practicalities of opening a specialist center, along with her “vision” for exceptional eye care in the region.

Congratulations on your new space in Greenwich and thank you for talking with us about Pro Eyecare. What brought you to Connecticut, and why specifically Greenwich for your new practice?

“My decision to come to Connecticut was primarily strategic. I was looking for a market that values specialized medical care, preventive health and high-touch service – not just transactional health care. Fairfield County, and Greenwich…in particular, stood out because it supports a boutique medical model.”

When you looked at the local market,

what gap did you think Pro Eyecare could fill?

“When I evaluated the local market, most eye care fell into two categories – retail optical centered on eyewear sales or traditional medical offices focused on refractions and pathology. What was largely missing was structured management of chronic conditions, particularly dry-eye disease, followed closely by progressive pediatric myopia, delivered through a treatment-driven model rather than episodic visits.

“Our point of view is preventive and longitudinal rather than transactional – measuring ocular surface health like a chronic disease, intervening early in children with myopia progression and integrating medical treatment with optical solutions into one coordinated plan. From a business standpoint, it shifts the model from product shopping to a tailored, integrated experience that supports long-term relationships and retention.”

How did you fund the launch of the new outlet and what did the capital primarily go towards?

“The expansion was funded through a combination of reinvested earnings from the practice, traditional bank financing and a small group of silent investors. Most of the capital went into

infrastructure, advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, medical buildout requirements and workflow design that supports longer specialty visits. A significant portion was also allocated to a purpose-built eyewear studio capable of housing exclusive collections and custom fittings, along with staff training to support a higher-touch care model.”

When you were planning the practice, what were your biggest “must-haves” and what did you decide to “keep simple” at first?

“From the beginning, the nonnegotiables were clinical infrastructure and patient experience. Dry eye and myopia management have been my clinical focus since opening my first practice in Old Greenwich in 2016. As technology advanced and patient demand grew, we wanted to bring the most current diagnostic and treatment technology available in the U.S. to the community, which ultimately required a larger and more advanced space.”

What does your revenue model look like in broad strokes and which parts are expected to drive growth?

“Broadly, the practice operates on three complementary pillars – medical eye care, the eyewear studio and structured treatment programs for dry eye and myopia control. General

“Our point of view is preventive and longitudinal rather than transactional — integrating medical treatment with optical solutions into one coordinated plan that supports longterm patient relationships.”

medical eye care forms the clinical entry point, while dry eye treatment and pediatric myopia management function as longitudinal care pathways. The eyewear studio supports that medical model rather than operating as standalone retail.”

What licenses and professional requirements are needed to operate an optometry clinic in Connecticut and what parts of compliance were the most arduous?

“Operating an optometry clinic in Connecticut involves two levels of compliance – individual licensure and business operations. For the doctor, licensure is issued through the Connecticut Department of Public Health after completing accredited training, passing national boards and maintaining ongoing continuing education.

“For the practice, requirements include registering the business entity, optical permitting, employing properly credentialed staff, maintaining medical record standards and meeting healthcare facility regulations. The most time-consuming part wasn’t a single license but coordinating everything simultaneously.”

Advanced diagnostic tools must be expensive. How did you decide what to buy at launch, and what’s your approach to financing equipment?

“The decision process was clinical first, financial second. The most advanced, evidence-based diagnostic and treatment technology was one of our nonnegotiables. If a device improved diagnostic accuracy, guided therapy or allowed us to treat conditions in-house, it qualified as an initial investment. Otherwise, it could wait. From a financing standpoint, we use a mix of purchasing and vendor financing, depending on the technology life cycle.”

Looking ahead, what does sustainable success mean to you – more services and/or more locations perhaps?

— Dr. Lazar

“Sustainable success to me is not defined by the number of locations or the number of services offered. It means maintaining clinical quality and consistency as the practice grows. Expansion only makes sense if the patient experience and medical outcomes remain identical to the original standard. Long-term success is measured by patient trust, retention and clinical outcomes. If growth strengthens those metrics rather than diluting them, then it’s sustainable.”

Fairfield Bellarmine establishes transfer initiative with Georgetown University

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

“Rooted

in the Jesuit tradition, our goal is to ensure that academic promise, not circumstance, determines how far a student can go.”

— Rev. Kevin O’Brien, S.J., executive director of Fairfield Bellarmine

Fairfield Bellarmine, Fairfield University’s two-year associate’s degree program serving students from the Greater Bridgeport area and beyond, has established a new transfer initiative with Georgetown University through its Community College Preferred Consideration Program. The partnership expands opportunities for Bellarmine students to pursue a bachelor’s degree at one of the nation’s most selective universities.

Designed to provide a strong academic foundation for transfer to four-year institutions or entry into the workforce, Bellarmine offers five tracks sponsored by Fairfield University’s undergraduate schools – Business, Computer Science, Health Studies, Liberal Studies and Education. Through the Preferred Consideration Program, Fairfield Bellarmine may recommend up to three highly qualified students each year for transfer admission to Georgetown University. Students nominated through this program receive consideration as part of Georgetown's competitive transfer

process. Admission is not guaranteed.

Georgetown’s program was created to support talented students from twoyear institutions, including first-generation college students, nontraditional students and others whose academic promise and perseverance distinguish them. Successful transfer applicants to Georgetown typically demonstrate a college grade point average (GPA) of 3.8 or higher, along with strong high school performance.

Georgetown University is committed to meeting full demonstrated financial need for all admitted, eligible undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

“We are delighted to form this partnership with Georgetown, which like Fairfield is a Jesuit university,” said Rev. Kevin O’Brien, S.J., executive director of Fairfield Bellarmine.

“Together, we are committed to expanding access in Jesuit higher education so that students may realize their God-given potential and serve their communities. Rooted in the

Jesuit tradition, our goal is to ensure that academic promise, not circumstance, determines how far a student can go.”

That commitment is already yielding strong outcomes, a university spokeswoman said. Fairfield Bellarmine has achieved a nearly 80% two-year graduation rate, compared to a statewide three-year graduation rate of under 20% for community colleges in Connecticut. The Class of 2025 includes 35 graduates, with approximately 90% continuing their studies toward a bachelor’s degree at Fairfield University, a Roman Catholic university rooted in one of the world’s oldest intellectual and spiritual traditions, with more than 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students from 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and 50 countries enrolled in its five schools. One graduate is going on to Stanford University, underscoring the academic rigor and range of opportunities Bellarmine affords.

The Georgetown initiative builds on Fairfield Bellarmine’s growing network of transfer partnerships with institutions such as Albertus Magnus College and Williams College, which

are designed to support seamless credit transfer, academic continuity and timely degree completion. Fairfield Bellarmine administrators continue to pursue additional partnerships with selective colleges and universities to expand bachelor’s degree pathways.

Transfer initiatives are a growing trend in higher education. In 2021, Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, which we recently wrote about, established transfer partnerships with SUNY Westchester Community College (WCC) and Bronx Community College (BCC).

The program guarantees that if admitted to Sarah Lawrence, students will matriculate with junior standing; their full demonstrated financial need for tuition and fees will be met; and they will be on track to complete their Sarah Lawrence Bachelor of Arts two years after enrolling, among other benefits.

Westchester Community College offers guaranteed admission for eligible students to other SUNY schools and has direct articulation agreements with such institutions as Mercy University in Dobbs Ferry and Manhattanville University in Purchase.

Eye on Small Business: N. Joel Landscaping LLC, Fairfield County

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

Their crews keep our Westchester and Fairfield streets looking neat and trim, but do we take the landscape trucks that trundle through our leafy streets for granted, part and parcel of our suburban topography? With the weather finally warming, spring fast approaching and yard cleanup time just around the corner, this week Eye on Small Business lifts the veil on local landscaping, where behind its jaunty logo each truck tells a story, often one of challenges, resilience and ultimate success.

Here’s N. Joel Landscaping LLC’s. Born in Guatemala, owner Nery Joel Juárez Chavez worked with his father planting corn, sesame, rice and beans until immigrating to the United States in 2005, “looking for a better future,” as he told the Westfair Business Journal in a recent exchange. His application was supported by an older brother who already lived here and with whom he settled in Stamford on his arrival.

Juárez Chavez then worked in restaurants for more than a decade, at first washing dishes but moving up through various kitchen positions until eventually becoming a cook in 2017. Two years later, and by this time a father, Juárez Chavez, decided to go out on his own, “to give his children a better future.” He explained to the Journal how he established the business with some savings and the help of a “small” credit card he had had and

nurtured for 10 years. “By the grace of God,” he said, “I didn’t need any loans.”

While Connecticut doesn’t license landscapers, the Department of Consumer Protection does require a certificate of registration for home improvements contractors above a certain threshold and, as the business started to grow, Juárez Chavez registered N. Joel Landscaping LLC (https:// www.njoellandscapingllc. com) with the secretary of state for Connecticut.

Other requirements for starting a landscaping business? Beyond the agricultural and lawn-mowing skills he already possessed, Juárez Chavez commented, “just enthusiasm and the desire to succeed and get ahead.”

Asked how he found his first client, Juárez Chavez said it came about through a friend who was already a contractor and recommended him for the job. One client led to another. “Then I built a website, designed business cards and that’s how we (built and) maintained the business.” He began offering his services through Google, Instagram, Facebook and Nextdoor, and new business started to come in through online reviews and recommendations.

Besides general lawn maintenance, those services include planting, tree care, masonry, mailbox repair and junk removal, costs for the last category calculated by volume, with rates that include the disposal fee.

“By the grace of God, I didn’t need any loans.”

— Nery Joel Juárez Chavez, owner of N. Joel Landscaping LLC

Over the winter months, work shifts to gutter cleaning, tree-pruning and removal, fence installation and repair and, of course, snow removal.

Juárez Chavez works with a regular crew of three, who between them look after around 50 properties across Fairfield County – an ideal ratio, he said. With labor costs typically running at 40 to 50% of revenue for any landscaping business, margins are invariably tight and aspects such as route density must be constantly refined and reviewed. While official figures are hard to come by, most owner-operators like Juárez Chavez begin with a single, reliable pickup truck to transport tools, mowers and debris and many – especially those who can avoid debt on equipment – can expect to turn over $90,000 to $130,000 per year after the

first three or four years.

While many local operators go on to expand with a second or third truck, Juárez said he is happy with where he is now. The scale of the business is manageable and, apart from financial security, pride in his work brings its own reward.

“We love seeing properties in great condition for the homeowners,” he added.

Juárez Chavez and his crew generally work a six-day week, taking Sundays off, and while he doesn’t take vacations as such, he seems like a contented man, a man who has found a happy work-life balance.

“If we do go out,” he wrapped up our conversation, “it’s only on weekends. We like hiking trails in the mountains of northern Connecticut.”

PCSB Bank is now Beacon Bank

PCSB Bank, with branches throughout Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester and Rockland counties, has been merged into Beacon Bank, a new brand established by Beacon Financial Corporation. Back in September, the banking operations of PCSB, Berkshire Hills Bankcorp, Inc., Brookline Bankcorp Inc., and Bank Rhode Island were combined under Beacon Financial Corporation and the rebranding as Beacon Bank has just been announced.

PCSB was established in 1871.

Among its 14 branches in the lower Hudson Valley were those in Brewster, Mahopac, Somers, Pawling, Kent, Jefferson Valley, Fishkill, Yorktown Heights, New City, Eastchester, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Mount Kisco and West Harrison, which now have the Beacon Bank brand.

The new combined banking operation has more than 145 branches and

commercial centers across New England and New York.

“Launching Beacon Bank represents a significant achievement for our organization and a critical step forward in our long-term strategy,” stated Beacon Financial’s CEO Paul A.

Ex-director sues Mamaroneck medical practice for benefits

By

The former director of a Mamaroneck medical practice is suing the doctor's son for money and healthcare insurance she says were guaranteed for one year after the doctor's death.

Samantha G. Flynn of Carmel accused Jeffrey Bernstein, the executor of the estate of Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, of breach of contract in a complaint filed on Feb. 16 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Despite years of faithful service to Dr. Bernstein, she claims, his son Jeffrey "has gone against the late doctor's wishes and deprived Flynn of the remuneration and access to

health care that had been promised to her."

Dr. Bernstein, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12, ran The Diabetes Center from his home in Mamaroneck, where he taught patients how to use diet and self-testing of blood glucose to manage the disease.

Flynn was hired in 2012 as a housekeeper for Dr. Bernstein and his wife Anne, a psychiatrist, according to the complaint, and was quickly made executive director of the medical practice.

She developed a close bond with the doctor, the complaint states, and he "became something of a surrogate

father" to her.

In 2016, Anne Bernstein died.

In 2020, Flynn and Dr. Bernstein, as sole proprietor of The Diabetes Center, signed an employment agreement that was to take effect after he died. She would be paid a $91,000 salary and $50,000 bonus, and receive health insurance. One year after the death her employment would automatically end.

The purpose of the agreement was for Flynn to wind down the medical practice and help prepare the house for sale.

"Doctor trusts that executive will perform any and all duties as necessary to achieve the results which doctor and executive have discussed between themselves," the contract states.

“Despite assurances in the agreement, her compensation would end after July 31 and health insurance would end after Aug. 31.”

He "knowingly and deliberately" did not condition compensation and health insurance on performance of any duties, according to the complaint. Even if she performed no duties, she was entitled to compensation and health insurance for one year.

Dr. Bernstein suffered a stroke on March 20, 2025 and died on April 15, 2025. He was 90.

Flynn says she began contacting patients, packing the office and preparing the house for sale. Within weeks, she claims, tensions developed with the doctor's son and estate executor, Jeffrey Bernstein. He allegedly removed confidential patient records, for example, and she demanded they be returned.

— Complaint filed by Samantha G. Flynn regarding the estate of Richard K. Bernstein

On June 16, nine weeks after Dr. Bernstein died, an attorney notified her that Jeffrey Bernstein had fired her. Six weeks later, according to the complaint, she was notified that, "despite assurances in the agreement," her compensation would end after July 31 and health insurance would end after Aug. 31.

Flynn accused Jeffrey Bernstein of violating her agreement with his father, and she is demanding monetary damages "to be determined at trial."

Jeffrey Bernstein did not reply to a message asking for his side of the story.

Proposed Fairfield 2026-2027 budget would increase taxes by 4.28%

FAIRFIELD — Fairfield First Selectperson Christine Vitale released a proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget of $402.9 million Friday, Feb. 20, that represents a 4.28% increase in the gross tax levy for the Town of Fairfield after factoring in non-tax revenue, credits, and reserves.

Vitale acknowledged the impact of the town’s recent five-year property revaluation on this year’s property tax increase. With values of residential properties increasing at a higher rate than commercial properties, this shift will result in residential property owners assuming a greater share of the tax burden. The Grand List has increased from $13.9 billion to $22.1 billion. If the First Selectperson’s proposed FY27 budget is approved, the mill-rate is anticipated to decrease from 0.028 to 0.019.

“We understand that many residents are feeling the strain of rising costs,” Vitale said. “Throughout the budget process we were very cognizant that both the revaluation and increases to the operating budget would affect the amount of taxes residents will be paying next year. Working to minimize the tax increase, we elected to use funding from prior year budget surpluses to help minimize the tax burden for our residents.”

The budget is an increase of 4.97%

in expenses over the prior year. The $243,944,528 education budget makes up 60.53% of the total town spending plan.

“This budget protects the services our community relies upon, maintains our long-term investment in Fairfield’s infrastructure and advances the modernization of public safety and town operations,” Vitale said.

“Our town employees, public safety officers and teachers are among our most valuable assets and this budget continues to support our contractual obligations to our staff.”

The Board of Selectpersons will begin budget hearings at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Her plan will go before the Board of Selectpersons, with three days of hearings that will continue until Thursday, weather permitting.

The meetings will be held in the First Floor Conference Room in Sullivan Independence Hall and will be available to view via FairTV here.

Vitale’s budget presentation will outline key priorities for the coming fiscal year, including:

• Support for public safety: the proposed budget includes an allocation to support the Police Department’s new AXON contract, an investment in state-ofthe-art technology. The budget also has funding for necessary replacements and upgrades for Fire Department equipment.

• Support of town infrastructure: the addition of a new Geographic Information System (GIS) analyst position, an asset to multiple departments, will inform land-use decisions, infrastructure projects, and planning.

• Strategic investments in community services: the proposed budget supports an increase in recreational opportunities for seniors and continues to fund outside agencies such as the

Pequot Library, Operation Hope, and others that provide valuable services for Fairfield residents. Significant reductions to capital outlay requests were made in this budget cycle, along with a focus on streamlining town operations, reducing risk, and enhancing fiscal oversight. The proposed budget supports the continued implementation of the Purchasing Department’s new eProcurement and Digital Contract Management Portal while the IT Department continues to improve the resilience of technology infrastructure. Contractual obligations such as salaries, health insurance and retirement benefits continue to be the Town’s largest budget drivers. Contract negotiations are underway with four bargaining units, and wage adjustments for members of these units are currently being held in reserve. Residents are encouraged to follow the budget process and participate in upcoming public meetings and hearings. The annual budget vote meeting will be held at the Representative Town Meeting on Monday, May 4. The complete schedule is available here. Town budget documents are available here.

Stamford youth organization empowers music education for past 15 years

By Pamela Brown

The former director of a Mamaroneck medical practice is suing the doctor's son for money and healthcare insurance she says were guaranteed for one year after the doctor's death.

“It feels surreal. INTEMPO was founded with $1,500 of Angie’s college graduation money,” said Lou Chen, the company’s CEO. “Today, we are a million-dollar organization that touches hundreds of lives every year across lower Fairfield County, with an emphasis on Stamford and Norwalk.

“Our longevity is testament to the brilliance of Angie’s original vision and the strength of our community, which comprises not only our staff and board but also our parents, students, volunteers, and donors.”

Durrell, an Ecuadorian-born violinist, educator and social entrepreneur, was inspired to create INTEMPO after experiencing a need for culturally reinforcing spaces for children from immigrant backgrounds. She was recognized as one of Musical America’s Top Movers and Shakers in the Performing Arts. She is a sixth-generation musician from the Godoy family – a family of musicians from the Chimborazo region in Ecuador, from her maternal side. Currently, she is the Director of Programs for the Office of the Arts at Harvard.

“I founded the organization to create programs that simply did not exist when I was growing up in Norwalk or spending time in the larger city of Stamford,” Durrell said. “We intentionally chose repertoire and designed programming that other ensembles and institutions were not presenting, filling a real void in the cultural landscape," said Durrell. "From the beginning, our goal was to welcome audiences who hadn’t felt included because they didn’t see themselves represented on stage or in the music itself, and I’m deeply grateful to the artists, community partners, and supporters who helped make that vision possible."

Under her leadership, INTEMPO has grown to serve hundreds of children in the Fairfield County area and open the city’s first Community Arts and Cultural Center. INTEMPO won the prestigious 2021 Impact

Fairfield County award and the 2022 Accelerator Award from the Lewis Prize for Music; was a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award finalist, and premiered a new multimedia commission featuring the Grammy-nominated PUBLIQuartet at Carnegie Hall, hosted by the PlayUSA network.

The nonprofit annually serves more than 700 children, ages 4-17, through after-school, in-school, summer, and partnership programs.

“We focus on these young populations because they’re the most at risk of losing out on high-quality music education,” Chen said. “This is primarily for two reasons: music education is expensive, and music education, as most commonly taught in the U.S. with its emphasis on classical music, can be culturally alienating for children from immigrant backgrounds.”

The nonprofit music school complements conventional classical instrument (violin, viola, cello) education with instruments of home cultures, such as the charango (a 10-stringed Andean lute that, on the East Coast, is taught only at INTEMPO).

The nonprofit’s music school is its largest program, serving more than 120 students this year. Professionally trained instructors include a mix of freelance performers and music teachers. “Our tuition is already highly subsidized, and on top of that, many families receive partial or full scholarships,” Chen said. “The full scholarships are due to the generosity of our Scholarship Circle donors.”

In addition, the nonprofit offers an affordable multi-week summer music session and it has several partnership programs that provide free music education, including partnerships with The Norwalk Art Space and the Norwalk Youth Symphony. INTEMPO also provides academic support, family advocacy, and workforce development.

"In 2013, the INTEMPO ensemble (formerly known as Intake Ensemble) received support to travel to Guatemala to study its musical traditions and national instrument, the marimba,” Durrell said. “Given the strong presence of Guatemalan and Central American communities in our region, it’s especially meaningful to return to

“From the beginning, our goal was to welcome audiences who hadn’t felt included because they didn’t see themselves represented on stage or in the music itself.”

— Durrell, founder of INTEMPO

this repertoire through this year’s concert theme, ‘Song of the Quetzal.’”

This is INTEMPO’s first year with a million-dollar budget, after achieving a surplus last year. “We’ve largely met our goals since our inception. Last year, we lost a historically reliable $10,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, but made up the difference and more thanks to the generosity of our donors. We are agile in our approach to both fundraising and programming,” Chen said, noting the nonprofit is funded primarily by grants and individual donations.

Its event calendar is expanding to at least six major events annually: two Hispanic heritage month concerts, one cultural crossover concert, one fundraiser, and two concerts centered around their new artist-in-residency.

On March 7, INTEMPO will present its annual flagship Cultural Crossover Concert at the Norwalk Concert Hall in partnership with the

Norwalk Youth Symphony.

“Every year it brings together over 100 young musicians from INTEMPO and the Norwalk Youth Symphony to perform a specific genre of Latin American music for an audience of over 500,” Chen said.

With such growth over 15 years, Chen hopes to stabilize by focusing on three goals.

“We want to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to do so. We also want to both expand and deepen our programming, and we want to continue being on the cutting edge of music education, as evidenced by our groundbreaking Artist-in-Residency, which we just launched in collaboration with Orchestra Lumos,” he said.

“Our mission is to enable young people, regardless of their life circumstances, to thrive through instruction in multicultural and classical music, the building of life skills, and the fostering of community.”
