Board of Legislators creates task force to help businesses, residents

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Westchester County Board of Legislators has formed a task force to identify and find ways to overcome financial pressures that are affecting businesses and residents in the county.

It’s known as the Affordability and Economic Development Task Force. Inaugural members include: John Ravitz, executive vice president and COO of the Business Council of Westchester; Michael N. Romita, president and CEO of the Westchester County Association; Kenny Burgos, CEO of New York Apartment Association; and Jan Fisher, executive director of Nonprofit Westchester.

The task force will be bringing together stakeholders and experts to explore economic development, job creation, energy prices, housing, transportation, small business opportunities, and food costs.

Board of Legislators Chairman Vedat Gashi said, “We normally tackle questions through the committee process but this is an instance where the committee process wasn’t exactly tackling the problems that we’re dealing with. Across Westchester working families, seniors and businesses are facing real financial strain. We hear that every day. Families and businesses are struggling and we need to take action to protect and strengthen our communities.”

Gashi described the approach as bringing the “right people to the table, listen closely and come up with practical solutions.”

Gashi named Legislator Colin D. Smith to lead the task force.

“The unemployment rate in Westchester remains low, around 3.6%,” Smith said. “And that’s good, but it also means that our employers are competing for workers in one of the highest cost regions in the country. And with tens of thousands of businesses across Westchester affordability is not abstract. It affects our workers, our customers, our nonprofits, our small businesses and our long-term economic future. That is why this task force matters.”

Smith said that the first goal will be to identify what is actually driving costs in the county such as housing, energy, transportation, workforce constraints, and the cost of doing business. He said that the idea is to use real information to develop real solutions, beginning with practical recommendations to support small and mid-sized businesses to help them grow in Westchester, stay in Westchester and create jobs in the county.

“We want to make clear that affordability and economic growth are not competing goals,” Smith said. “They rise and fall together. A more affordable Westchester is a more competitive

“A more affordable Westchester is a more competitive Westchester — if people cannot afford to live here, businesses will not thrive here.”

Westchester. We will focus on workforce stability because if people cannot afford to live here businesses will not thrive here.”

Ravitz said, “As Westchester County’s largest business membership organization that focuses on economic development and advocacy the Business Council of Westchester welcomes the opportunity to be a member of the Board of Legislator’s Affordability and Economic Development Task Force. If we are going to recruit and retain businesses to Westchester, we must develop solutions to deal with affordability challenges.”

Fisher said, “As we work to build a county where all people can enjoy its opportunities and natural beauty, we must ensure that the nonprofit workforce those who give so much to support our neighbors and strengthen the social and economic fabric of our county are not pushed to the margins. Addressing affordability is critical to an equitable, resilient Westchester where everyone, including our essential workforce and the people seeking our services, have the chance to belong and succeed.”

According to Romita, “County government has a critical responsibility to strengthen our economy while addressing affordability for our residents, workers, and businesses. This initiative will help ensure our legislators receive valuable input from business and industry leaders to inform policy decisions.”

Yale New Haven Health tapped as CT United FC’s official healthcare partner

Its physician partners at Yale Medicine will provide medical oversight of team

STAMFORD — CT United FC has named Yale New Haven Health and its physician partners at Yale Medicine as the club’s official healthcare partner during its inaugural 2026 season.

Throughout the season, players of the MLS NEXT Pro team will benefit from comprehensive medical oversight, including pre-season physical examinations, ongoing routine care, and the evaluation and treatment of injuries and other medical conditions. Integrated orthopedic services and clearly defined return-to-play protocols will be embedded within the club’s medical structure. Team physicians will also provide on-site coverage on match days, ensuring immediate care and informed medical decision-making.

“We are building CT United with

a clear commitment to elite performance and long-term athlete health,” said Michelle Swanston, CT United FC co-owner. “Partnering with Yale New Haven Health and Yale Medicine ensures our players have access to world-class medical leadership while advancing innovation in sports science here in Connecticut.”

As part of the partnership, Dr. Christina Allen will serve as chief medical officer of CT United FC. Dr. Allen is chief of Yale Sports Medicine, vice chair of athletic medicine and community outreach for Yale Orthopedics & Rehabilitation, and an orthopedic team physician for Yale Athletics.

Dr. Allen specializes in complex shoulder and knee injuries — particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries — in addition to meniscus

transplantation, ACL revision surgery, and proximal hamstring repairs.

“This collaboration reflects a comprehensive, research-driven approach to athlete care,” she said. “By aligning elite orthopedic expertise with performance science and continuous medical oversight, we are ensuring

that CT United’s athletes receive the highest standard of care from prevention through return to competition.”

To demonstrate this partnership, the Yale New Haven Health mark appears on the side of CT United’s home and away kits for the rest of the 2026 season.

State legislature passes $28.6B FY2027 budget

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

HARTFORD – The state House and Senate passed Gov. Ned Lamont’s $28.6 billion fiscal year 2027 budget adjustment bill over the weekend. The spending plan developed in collaboration with legislative leaders boosts the state’s education system, increases investments in housing and transportation and supports town and city budgets.

“This budget delivers a strong, responsible path forward, one that makes Connecticut more affordable while keeping our state on solid fiscal footing,” Gov. Lamont said. “Throughout this legislative session, we have listened closely to residents, businesses, and municipal leaders, and this proposal reflects their priorities.

“It makes historic investments in early childhood education, strengthens our K-12 education system, and provides meaningful support to our cities and towns. It advances critical progress in housing and transportation while responsibly reducing more than $1 billion in unfunded pension liabilities. This is a budget that provides immediate relief for families and positions our state for long-term growth, and I urge the legislature to support it.”

State Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney praised how the newly passed budget addresses child care and healthcare assistance.

“For years, towns and cities across Connecticut have absorbed the growing cost of public education with insufficient state support, and that burden has landed squarely on local property taxpayers, Looney said. “Senate Bill 1 addresses that imbalance directly, directing substantial new resources to local boards of education and ensuring that every district receives an increase regardless of enrollment. Paired with $100 million in direct aid to municipalities, this budget gives Connecticut’s cities and towns the tools they need to serve their residents without reaching deeper into taxpayers’ pockets.”

One of the more controversial provisions of the FY 2027 state budget on the revenue side is the use of volatility cap revenue.

• Volatility cap: This budget continues the trend of prudent fiscal management while utilizing extraordinary revenue to make investments in key areas. Due to the state’s continued fiscal stewardship, volatile revenues subject to the volatility cap have exceeded $2 billion in FY 2026. At the same

time, the state faces higher than expected Medicaid costs, and municipal and school budgets are negatively impacted by inflation, rising healthcare costs, and federal cutbacks. Governor Lamont today issued a declarationpermitting the investment of $813.7 million of these volatile revenues to promote affordability and growth in the state while still making a sizable contribution to our pension system.

Notable new investments include:

• K-12 education: The budget provides an additional $193 million in supplemental education grants for towns and cities, including $162.2 million in direct aid to municipalities, $8.7 million for charter schools, $8.3 million for magnets schools, and $800,000 for vocational agriculture programs – representing an increase for all Connecticut public school students – and approximately $10 million in temporary educational aid.

The budget includes Governor Lamont’s priority investments in children’s education, including $12 million for universal free school breakfast to ensure all 500,000 Connecticut students have access to a healthy meal to start the school day; $5 million to expand impactful mental and behavioral health supports in schools; $2 million to fund 75 teacher apprentices per year; and $2 million for a new literacy coaches program.

• Municipal aid: The budget provides more than $100 million in one-time financial assistance for towns and cities. This investment will help local communities lower property taxes.

• Early childhood education: The budget invests approximately $300 million in the Early Childhood Education Endowment. As championed by Lamont, the endowment is the largest expansion of early childhood education programs in Connecticut history, enabling tens of thousands of additional children to enroll in these opportunities.

• Higher education: The budget provides $30 million in General Obligation bonding for the Connecticut Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority (CHESLA) to launch a new alternative to the Grad Plus Subsidized Loan Program, which was eliminated upon passage of President

Provides more funds for schools and municipalites; taps $814M from volatility revenue

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

• Unfunded liabilities: Under this budget, the state is expected to make additional pension payments of more than $1 billion in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. These payments are projected to generate roughly $100 million in annual savings in each of the next 25 years.

• Federal Cuts Response Fund: This budget bolsters the recently created Federal Cuts Response Fund by $50 million to ensure Connecticut remains well-positioned to address federal policy and funding challenges.

• Child welfare accountability and transparency: The budget provides an additional $3.34 million for the Department of Children and Families to establish several new programs and services, which include grant-funded programs for certain caregivers to help cover child-care costs, postsecondary education assistance, paid social worker internship and mentorship programs, and mandatory employee training programs. In addition, a new Urgent Crisis Center in Stamford will be established, and personal emergency communication devices will be made available for certain employees.

• Health and human service providers: This budget provides $892,000 for the Department of Public Health to pilot free flu vaccines to uninsured and under-insured adult residents, which will reduce hospitalizations and healthcare costs. It redistributes activities formerly

performed by the Office of Health Strategy among the state agencies best equipped to handle them, clarifying responsibilities and fostering greater alignment between federal and state efforts – including for healthcare-related IT. The Department of Public Health is taking over and streamlining the Certificate of Need (CON) program to improve care quality, access, and affordability. The Office of Policy and Housing: The budget provides an increase in operating support of $500,000 for the Department of Housing to operationalize the various housing efforts set in motion through the passage of Public Act 25-49. Revenue adjustments include:

• Lowers the cost of health insurance: The budget creates a new tax credit for small businesses to encourage employers to offer Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA) through Access Health CT’s BusinessPlus platform. This new incentive will expand healthcare coverage options while allowing small employers to better attract and retain workers.

• Cannabis tax modifications: This budget converts the current tax on cannabis from a THC tax to a 10.75% excise tax, simplifying the current tax structure for cannabis.

• PeoplesBank Arena Tax Credits for UConn Athletics: This budget provides tax credits that will ensure UConn’s basketball and hockey teams play games in Hartford for the next 20 years.

The U.S./U.K. special relationship is alive and well in London

(Editor’s note: After King Charles III’s successful visit to the former American colonies, Westfair Business Journal’s senior writer Jeremy Wayne, who hails from Great Britain, explains how, correspondingly, London has long welcomed visiting America.)

Many Britons living in the United States will have experienced a gentle glow of warmth at the reception their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla received in Washington D.C. las week, at the start of their four-day state visit to the United States. It was a visit that took them to New York City and Virginia as well, for celebrations and commemorations linked, ironically enough, to the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Like his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, before him, King Charles always seems to enjoy his visits to the United States. And, since he is barred – as a constitutional monarch – from engaging in any kind of political debate, again like his mother (who famously met all 13 presidents of her reign), the king has been able to maintain equable relationships with presidents and administrations of every stripe.

State visits, with all their pomp and ceremony but also genuine goodwill, seem like a good time to reflect on the so-called “special relationship,” which politics and internecine squabbles keep threatening to destroy. As a Brit who has lived nearly half his life in America, my conclusion is that the special relationship is alive and well.

That’s because the same spirit of recognition and ease flows, as it has always done, in the opposite direction as well. For Americans arriving in London, the city – with its curious Britishisms, its quirky street names, its weird parking rules and, dare I say it, its unpredictable weather – is going to feel different to wherever it is you call home. Nevertheless, it is immediately familiar, both culturally and socially, in a way that the rest of Europe isn’t. Instead, London reveals itself as a place filled with echoes of home – subtle at times, unmistakable at others. Walk through London and you encounter American touchstones all

over. I recently wrote in the Westfair Business Journal about London’s swankiest new hotel, The Chancery Rosewood, located in the former U.S. embassy on Grosvenor Square, It was on Grosvenor Square that the first U.S. minister to the Court of St. James (and the second president of the United States), John Adams, lived from 1785 to ’88, and where Dwight D. Eisenhower, later the 34th American president, set up his military headquarters during World War II.

There is a statue of Eisenhower in the square, as well as statues of presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. The United Kingdom’s 9/11 Memorial is situated in the small garden on the east side of the square. (In Manhattan, Charles and Camilla visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed 67 Britons, more than any other terrorist attack.) And just a couple of hundred yards away, on not-so-pretty Oxford Street, stands the famous Selfridges department store, founded in 1909 by an American, Harry Gordon Selfridge. No wonder the area came to be known as Little America, or the American Quarter.

London hotels have always provided a home away from home for visiting Americans, too. Conrad Hilton didn’t build one, but he did oversee the development of the London Hilton on Park Lane, the first Hilton hotel in the United Kingdom and, for a brief period after it opened in 1963, London’s tallest building. One of America’s richest women, the philanthropist and hotelier Caroline Hunt, scion of the Texas oil family, owned the five-star Lanesborough Hotel in London for 20 years between 1991 and 2011, making it the watering-hole of its day for wealthy Americans. (It still is for many.)

And while you don’t have to be

American to visit The Savoy hotel’s American Bar – opened all the way back in 1893 to make its transatlantic visitors welcome and still mixing what many Americans claim is the driest martini in London – American accents abound there, gently reassuring this born Londoner.

London restaurants, inspired by American ones or actually launched by them, have come to define whole areas of London as American.

“The Great American Disaster has struck London,” The New York Times reported in August,1970. “Berkeley coeds, Boston hippies and even the British stand on Fulham Road to push into the tiny, wood‐paneled restaurant that offers Great American Milkshakes, Great American Apple Pie and, of course, the Great American Hamburger. Mia Farrow, André Previn, Warren Beatty and Roman Polanski have already bitten into the hamburgers with relish.”

Hard Rock Café, London, Hyde Park Corner. Courtesy Hard Rock Café.

A year later, the Disaster’s 22-yearold co-founder, Peter Morton, opened the first Hard Rock Café at Hyde Park Corner, where, 55 years later, it is still going strong. (The Disaster eventually became the Texas Lone Star Café, with Boston University and Ithaca College opening London outposts just along the street.)

Up in leafy St. John’s Wood, a tony district just north of Regents Park, sits the American School in London (ASL,) a pre-kindergarten through 12th grade private day school where despite yearly tuition costing $62,000 (for the high school), getting a place is nevertheless extremely difficult, due to the high number of expatriates applying and the school’s high academic bar. If their pocketbooks can stand it, village-y St John’s Wood, with its

handsome brick and stucco houses, is where most American expatriate families in London would like to live, I daresay. But you don’t have to be a permanent resident to take the bus or Tube here from the West End to shop at Panzer – the upscale delicatessen catering to the local expat community and selling hard-to-find American ingredients like Hershey's chocolate, Pepperidge Farm cookies and crackers and Old Bay seasoning.

“Come here, and you will not feel entirely abroad — London reflects a familiar American identity, woven into the fabric of British tradition.”

Come by cab, though, and you’ll likely drive through Regents Park, where Winfield House is situated. This was “poor little rich girl” Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton’s London mansion, which she sold to the United States government after the Second World War for the token sum of $1. Set back from the road and well-shielded by trees, the house has been the official residence of the United States ambassador to the Court of St. James (as in the United Kingdom) since 1955. Although closed to the public, the grand house nevertheless imbues this part of the vast, beautiful park with a kind of American flavor. In other words, it feels good just to know Winfield House is here.

From T.S. Eliot to Henry James, famous Americans have always enjoyed setting up home in London. It’s been a particular haven for American music stars. “Mama” Cass Elliot lived (and died) in London; ditto Jimi Hendrix. Paul Simon lived in London in the mid-1960s. Madonna and John Legend call London home. And Bob Dylan currently lives in Crouch End – a modest suburb of North London. (To put this in context, the equivalent might be Mick Jagger, who lives primarily in Manhattan, moving to a small townhouse in Tuckahoe.)

Panzer’s Deli, St. John’s Wood. Courtesy Panzer.

One particular American who actually might not receive a rapturous welcome should she choose to return to her husband’s native city, is the former Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, now living with said husband, Prince Harry, and children in Montecito, California. But never say never, because she may yet be back, and I’ve no doubt that in time the easy-going Brits would warm to her again – well, quite a lot of time, if I’m being honest. (And don’t even get me started on the Peltz–Beckhams.)

But to conclude, I would say London offers Americans a quiet reassurance: Come here, and you will not feel entirely abroad. The city reflects back a familiar identity, refracted through what’s left of British tradition, yet unmistakably American in its presence.

And, just as Washington opened its arms to a visiting king, London, in its own way, continues to extend its standing welcome to American visitors – proud to have them explore a city where their own story has long been part of the landscape.

AIMING HIGH

By Joshua A. Potosek, Sullivan County Manager

On a warm July day in 1969, local, State and Federal officials celebrated the opening of Sullivan County International Airport a few miles west of Monticello, NY. The 6,000-foot runway was pressed into major service only a couple weeks later, when the legendary Woodstock festival bands started flying in and the emergency choppers started flying out.

While the Airport has continued to play host to international stars performing at local hotels (or just jetting in for their own relaxing getaway), the original dream of a vibrant, attractive aviation hub has – pardon the pun – never really taken off. Yes, there

was scheduled airline service in the 1970s –even flights to Canada, earning the “International” part of its name.

And it continues to provide a haven for pilots (who rent hangars from us), planes (propeller-driven and jet-powered), the Civil

Air Patrol, Hatzolah Air, and our 911 Center. Aviation fuel sales remain strong, and with an average of 72 takeoffs and landings every week, the Airport by no means goes unused.

But we know it’s capable of far more. And that’s why we were thrilled when Gov. Kathy Hochul included Sullivan County in her Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization Program, giving us $18.5 million to construct a new, energy-efficient terminal via the NYS Department of Transportation.

The 15,000-square-foot, timber-supported building finished construction last fall, and it’s a beauty: two stories full of floor-to-

ceiling windows facing the runway, with six leasable business offices, a conference room, a pilot’s lounge, and a second-floor restaurant (opening this summer) with an outdoor deck featuring views extending all the way to the high peaks of the Catskills. Sustainably built with glue-laminated wood, the terminal is heated and cooled with a geothermal system, powered in part by a photovoltaic array, and will have electric vehicle charging stations right outside its doors.

On its own, the terminal is an incredible new asset for the Airport. But we are not stopping there. We have just begun marketing the Airport as the most attractive business jetport within a 100-mile radius of New York City. After all, we already have more room and less expensive lease terms than any of the airports closer to the City (from which we’re only a 20-minute plane ride). The intent is not to bring back scheduled airline service, since there’s plenty of options in and around the Hudson Valley. Rather, we’re seeking to promote Sullivan County International Airport to business aviation companies as a convenient, attractive, cost-effective alternative to the far more congested and expensive NYC airports.

Here in Sullivan County’s Catskills, they can store and fuel their planes, ship cargo in and out, and set up offices for their pilots and ground crews. We’ve already demonstrated the feasibility of this with Hatzolah Air, a nonprofit goodwill that flies around the world from our Airport.

With a new terminal ready to dazzle, we’re aiming high to finally reveal this long-hidden gem.

Charter service allegedly failed to pay for flights

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A North Castle man who arranges airplane charters has been sued for more than $1 million for allegedly not paying for flights.

Zenflight, of Suffolk County, demanded $501,098 from Brandon Weaver, in a lawsuit filed on March 27 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Nazar Massouh, founder of OIC private capital in Manhattan, demanded $502,173 from Weaver and Weaver Wings LLC, in a Nov. 12 complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Weaver has worked as a regional sales director for Million Air White Planes, according to news stories. Million Air is based at Westchester County Airport and provides services for corporate and private aircraft and offers charter services.

Weaver Wings LLC, also known as Point to Point Aviation, was based at Weaver's home in North Castle, near Armonk.

The lawsuits describe similar circumstances.

Zenflight, at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, offers aircraft management and air charters. From November 2025 to February 2026, Zenflight provided Weaver with a dozen charter trips worth $465,169, according to the lawsuit. Weaver promised to pay the full amount by April 24 but failed to do so.

Weaver admitted the debt in a confession of judgment. On April 27, the court entered the judgment against him, including interest, for $501,098.

The Massouh lawsuit refers to a charter trip that was to occur from July 27 through Aug. 1, last year, costing $498,930.

On October 17, Weaver, as president of Weaver Wings, admitted the debt in a settlement and in a promissory note and agreed to pay the full amount plus interest by Oct. 21. Weaver allegedly failed to pay the obligation and Massouh sued on Nov. 12. Weaver failed to respond, and on Feb. 3 Massouh asked the court to grant summary judgment, including interest, for $502,173.

White Plains residential building that became offices may again become residential

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

“We’re not building anything new — we’re working within the existing footprint to create energyefficient, high-quality homes” — Richard Abraham

A building in White Plains that at one time had been residential and was converted into offices may soon be residential again. The building in question is at 19 Greenridge Ave., and the nonprofit Shore/iCare has a contract to buy it and then plans a conversion to residential. Shore/iCare would create six rental apartments that would be priced as affordable housing for tenants earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income.

According to a real estate listing the building is on a 0.33-acre lot, was built in 1985 and formerly housed medical offices.

The conversion project has been awarded $1.6 million in funding through New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s (HCR) Small Rental Development Initiative, it was announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul. She announced awards totaling $44.7

million in new funding under three HCR programs to create and rehabilitate more than 420 rental units in the state.

Richard Abraham, a project manager for Shore/ iCare’s Greenridge Avenue development told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal that the organization would be submitting its plans for the 19 Greenridge Ave. site to the City of White Plains within the next couple of weeks and would then await comments from the city’s Building Department. He said that last year Shore/iCare had discussed the possibilities with the city including with former Mayor Tom Roach. Abraham said, “We were careful to design it so it would not require variances from the Zoning Board and we could convert the building ‘as of right’ because what we are rehabbing is all within the permissible uses of that particular zoning district.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

We’re not building anything new; we’re just working within the existing building’s footprint.”

Abraham described the project as being consistent with Shore/iCare’s mission.

“One goal is to try to create more housing, but really good quality units that are energy efficient and people would be proud to call home,” Abraham said. “There’s a challenge with organizations like ours … because a lot of organizations like ours have these older properties and it’s a big challenge to have the money to keep them up, so when there’s an opportunity to do new construction or adaptive reuse, which is what we’re doing here, it’s a chance to build really good quality homes for people that are energy efficient but that will also have a meaningful discount for the rent because it’s one thing for a unit to be serving someone who is making 80% of the Area Median Income and it’s another for it to be for someone who is below 60% Area Median Income in Westchester County. We want to make really nice homes for people who are working in

Former Eastchester Lord & Taylor building sells for $83M

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The former Lord &  Taylor department store building at 750 White Plains Road in Eastchester has been sold for just over $83 million, according to records on file with the Westchester County Clerk’s Office.

Both the buyer and seller were Delaware limited liability companies.

The seller was LT Eastchester LLC and the buyer was 750 White Plains Owner LLC.

Tenants at the property now include White Plains Hospital and Burke Rehabilitation, both of which are members of the Montefiore Health System, Equinox, Cava, Tatte Bakery, Pottery Barn Kids and Wil-

liams Sonoma.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony last Oct. 16 marked the formal opening of the new 70,000-square-feet health care hub of White Plains Hospital Physician Associates of Scarsdale. The new facility incorporates advanced imaging and diagnostic services as well as physician offices and exam rooms covering myriad specialties.

The property comprises more than 11 acres at the Eastchester/ Scarsdale border. The building was completed in 1958. It has a gross leasable area of just over 220,000 square feet.

Jeffrey Dunne, David Gavin and

Travis Langer of CBRE’s National Retail Partners represented the seller and also procured the buyer.

Dunne said, “The center’s highly prominent location within the dominant retail corridor in the market, combined with its strong anchor tenancy and surrounding demographics will help the buyer complete the repositioning and lease-up of the center.”

According to Gavin, “We continue to see strong demand in Metro NY for properties like 750 White Plains Road, which provide a unique combination of having stable tenancy with further value-add through lease up of the remaining vacancy.”

Abraham said Shore/iCare anticipates that it will be able to close on the purchase of the property in late summer.

Included in the latest round of HCR funding announced by Hochul was a grant of $2.3 million to the nonprofit RUPCO to create 28 units of affordable housing across Westchester, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster, and Sullivan Counties.

In addition, there was a grant of $1.3 million to Sisters of Charity for 200 Tremper Ave., a six-unit building in the city of Kingston along with $833,669 to the nonprofit Blue Mountain for 7 Katonah Ave., a 4-unit affordable building in Katonah.

HCR Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas said, “This $44.7 million investment across three of our programs will improve affordability and utilize the potential of vacant buildings throughout New York. We look forward to working with our local partners and developers as these projects progress.”

Saks Global, the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy that was filed in Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Texas in January. It plans to emerge from bankruptcy this summer. On April 27, the bankruptcy court approved $500 million in financing to allow the company to leave bankrupcty and handle inventory shortages, stabilize operations, and allow creditors to take ownership. The restructuring does away with debt totaling $3.4 billion.

Saks Global has been closing stores in its Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus brands. The company had acquired Neiman Marcus for $2.7 billion creating a high debt load.

Ruger, Beretta come to agreement to hold off proxy contest

MAYODAN, N.C.— Sturm, Ruger & Company Inc., which is headquartered in Southport, on May 4 announced that it has entered a strategic cooperation agreement with Beretta Holding S.A., the gunmaker’s largest shareholder. The pact staves off a prolonged potential proxy contest at Ruger’s next annual shareholder meeting.

Under the terms of the agreement, Ruger is expected to allow Beretta Holding to increase its investment to up to 25% of the company’s outstanding shares. The minimum partial tender offer price shall be $44.80 per share in cash – which represents a ~20% premium to the Company’s 60-day volume-weighted average share price prior to Beretta Holding’s tender offer announcement. Such tender offer has not yet commenced and

will be subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

In connection with this increased investment, Beretta Holding will have the right to nominate up to two independent directors following the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and regulatory approval. At that time, the company will temporarily expand the board. The nominees will be subject to Ruger’s Nominating and Governance Committee process and qualification criteria.

As part of the agreement, Beretta Holding has committed to a 3-year standstill, during which it will not, among other things, initiate or support any proxy contest or similar action.

Over that period, Beretta Holding will also vote its shares in alignment with the Ruger board’s recommendations on all matters (except in cases where leading independent proxy advisory

firms, ISS or Glass Lewis, issue an adverse recommendation or in certain extraordinary transactions not involving Beretta Holding).

Additionally, Beretta Holding has withdrawn its director nominations for the 2026 annual meeting and only Ruger board-recommended candidates will be up for election at the meeting.

These provisions, together with other provisions in the agreement, are designed to safeguard Ruger’s independence and stability while increasing alignment of Beretta Holding with all shareholder interests.

“This agreement is strategically valuable and will benefit all Ruger stakeholders,” said Ruger Board Chair John Cosentino. “As a board, our responsibility and duty is to act in the best interests of all shareholders. This agreement provides stability, avoids further expense and distraction, and creates a framework for productive engagement with Beretta Holding while preserving

Ruger’s independence and governance standards.”

The agreement enables Ruger and Beretta Holding to explore avenues for commercial cooperation.

“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Ruger,” Pietro Gussalli Beretta, chair and CEO of Beretta Holding. “This cooperation is fully aligned with the group’s strategy to further strengthen our presence in the United States, a key market where we have been active for several decades, and it reflects our commitment to continued long-term development.”

The two gunmakers engaged in a war of words earlier this year when Beretta become the largest Ruger shareholder with 9.95% ownership and had put forth a slate of directors to get representation on the Ruger board. Additionally, Ruger claimed that Beretta demanded it appoint its own CEO to Ruger’s board in violation of U.S. antitrust laws.

Somnia anesthesia sues collections company for $33M

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A nationwide anesthesia business based in Harrison has sued a billing company for $33 million for allegedly mishandling collections.

Somnia Inc. accused Coronis Health of breach of contract, in a complaint filed on April 23 in Westchester Supreme Court.

"Coronis turned out to be grossly incapable of handling the contracted-for-services," the complaint states, "performed significantly worse in comparison to when Somnia performed these functions in-house, and cost Somnia and its practices tens of millions of dollars in lost collections."

Somnia is a privately held company founded in 1996 that manages anesthesiology services at more than a hundred surgery centers and medical offices across the country. It was based in New Rochelle and moved to Harri-

son around 2018.

Coronis Health, of Sykesville, Maryland, is a revenue cycle management company, created in 2022 by a venture capital firm that merged similar businesses.

Somnia hired Medac Inc., one of the companies that later merged into Coronis, in 2017, to manage the logistics of every encounter between doctors and patients.

Doctors and medical practices have to be credentialed, according to the complaint, to receive payments from government insurers such as Medicare and commercial insurers such as UnitedHealthcare. Information about patients is collected. Services are coded. Claims are submitted to insurers. Bills are collected. Denials of claims are appealed.

Somnia claims that problems emerged around mid-2022, after the merger that created Coronis. The new

company was not staffed or trained properly, Somnia says, and collections dropped.

For instance, Coronis allegedly failed to handle enrollment and credentialling of physicians with numerous insurers, resulting in more than $8.8 million in losses.

Healthcare insurers require claims for payments to be submitted anywhere from 20 to 60 day. After Coronis eliminated nearly half of its billing team in 2023, the complaint states, processing delays resulted in millions of dollars in untimely claims that had to be written off.

When Coronis implemented a new billing system in 2024, poor training and oversight led to lower collections and Coronis allegedly concealed shortages by making it appear as if the correct amounts had been paid.

Somnia terminated the agreement at the end of 2024 and took over the collections process. Then Coronis

Harrison business cites poorly trained staff

allegedly refused to return electronic health information and data used for collections as well as for records requests from patients, healthcare providers and regulators.

Somnia is asking the court to make Coronis pay at least $33 million and to return all electronic health information.

Coronis did not reply to a message asking for its side of the story.

Propel New York project highlights the electrical transmission system SPECIAL

By WESTFAIR ONLINE

Editor’s Note: The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and New York Transco are working on the electric transmission project known as Propel NY Energy. It will create 90 miles of new transmission lines connecting Westchester, the Bronx and Long Island. The estimated cost is $3.26 billion. A key feature will be a segment running from the Sprain Brook Substation to New Rochelle and then beneath Long Island Sound to the Shore Road Substation in Nassau County.

Commentary by Ron Kamen, director, The Business Council of Westchester’s Clean Energy

As communities across the state grapple with affordability, housing issues, and how to keep future generations here with good paying jobs, one thing is clear; development is at the heart of it all.

Here in Westchester, communities across the county are undertaking smart development. Revitalizing downtowns, building multi-use housing, welcoming new residents, and attracting businesses that want to be part of a thriving community.

In New Rochelle, the city has managed to attract billions of dollars in new investment, while working to maintain the character of the community. At a time when New York’s population is declining, New Rochelle has instead seen growth of approximately seven percent between the last two censuses.

In Yonkers, the waterfront and downtown area are being transformed with new housing and mixed-used development, including a 92 unit all electric building that broke ground last summer.

In 2024, Mount Vernon adopted a comprehensive plan focused on expanding transit-oriented development to attract residents seeking easy access to NYC, and now hundreds of new housing units are under construction.

But with all this growth and progress comes an essential question, does Westchester County have the necessary infrastructure to support it?

When most people think of core infrastructure, they picture roads, bridges, and sewers. While those are all critical, there is another piece of the puzzle

that all too often is overlooked — our electric transmission system.

Transmission lines are the backbone of New York’s energy system. They move electricity long distances from where it is generated, to where it is needed. The challenge is that much of this system was built decades ago, during a time before electric vehicles and electric homes, and before our reliance on wireless devices and data centers. We have been reaping the benefits of investments made by previous generations. While the system has served us well, energy demand is rapidly rising, and extreme weather is adding strain to the grid. The question isn’t whether we should invest in transmission, it’s whether we can afford not to.

The simple answer is no. Reports from the state’s grid operator, the New York Independent System Operator, are sounding the alarm — the lower Hudson valley could face reliability issues and power disturbances in just a few short years. Communities all across the state do not have enough capacity to keep pace with growing demand. Without the necessary investments, we risk outages, strains on local businesses, and a more difficult path towards integrating cleaner, more renewable energy.

That is why projects like Propel NY energy are so important. Propel NY will build 90 miles of new underground and submarine transmission lines to strengthen the downstate electric grid — including Westchester County. These new lines are the equivalent to adding new lanes to an overcrowded highway. They will allow electricity to

move more freely, reduce costly congestion which drives up utility bills, and make the system more reliable during storms of all kinds.

This is an investment that will help keep the lights on, support more clean energy, and ensure that, as communities across our county grow, their infrastructure grows with them.

You would not think of expand-

ing housing options and downtown business corridors without planning for new parking or transit options. Energy should be no different.

Cities across our county have shown what is possible when smart planning guides development. Now is the time to ensure that the infrastructure required to power our homes, businesses, and our future is just as strong.

Is Pokémon the tulip mania of our time?

By by BEN SOCCODATO AND CHRIS KAMPITSIS

Call it Pokémon-mania. What tulip bulbs were to the Netherlands in the 17th-century, Pokémon cards may become in our own time, especially with the company (estimated valuation $90 billion) —the world's highest- grossing media franchise — celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Helping to fuel the craze — rare, vintage cards in mint condition that are shifting the childhood hobby into something closer to a collectible asset, especially for Gen Zers, who have been swept up in the nostalgia for all things 1990s. (Pikachu, Charizard and Umbreon are the most collectible characters, with Pikachu Illustrator and first edition Shadowless Charizard being the most sought after.)

That nostalgia, plus limited supply and third-party grading ,have pushed parts of this market meaningfully higher. So has mainstream attention: In February, influencer and wrestler Logan Paul sold a Pikachu Illustrator card for $16.5 million, setting a Guinness World Record for the most expensive trading card sold at auction to date.

It reminds us of what happened with vinyl records, which aficionados often prefer to CDs and which can fetch anywhere from a few dollars to thousands.

Let's be clear: We are not recommending this as an investment strategy. Markets like this can be unpredictable. They're often driven as much by hype and emotion as they are by fundamentals. Values can go up. They can also come down. Fast.

A windmill surrounded by tulips in Keukenhof park, the Netherlands. Courtesy dreamstime.com.

During the Dutch Golden Age, when the Netherlands was a global trading powerhouse, contract prices for the recently introduced and quickly fashionable tulip reached a fevered pitch. The acceleration, which began in 1634, only lasted until February 1637. But while the obsession flamed out, the passion never died. Today, the Dutch agricultural and horticultural export economy produces more than three billion bulbs, supplying more than 75% of the world's traded tulip bulbs and generating $2 billion-plus annually.

So a craze can give way to a thriving industry that has stood the test of time and thus is ripe for investment. But anyone joining the Pokémon craze should do so with realistic expectations and a healthy dose of caution.

From a planning standpoint, we view collectibles as a small slice of the overall picture. A good rule of thumb is to keep alternative assets like this under 10% of your portfolio. That way, your core strategy stays grounded in diversification and long-term thinking.

We're sharing this because it reflects something bigger -- a shift in what people assign value to. Things tied to culture, nostalgia and personal meaning are increasingly showing up in conversations about wealth and assets. And it might not be the worst idea to take a quick look through your kids' old toy bin. You never know what kind of "diversified asset" might be hiding in there.

It's worth paying attention to. The question is: Is it worth paying for?

Eye on Small Business –Floor Coverings International

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

With around 290 franchise locations across the United States and Canada, Floor Coverings International is hardly a “small business,” but each individual franchise – essentially independently owned and operated – tells its own “small” story.

For Norwalk resident Troy Heidenberg, the story is about a legacy. His family has more than 100 years of combined flooring experience – coupled with his contemporary “take” on the business. Heidenberg is honoring his father's 40-year career as a wood-flooring expert by building a modern, customer-first version of the family trade while moving away from the traditional father/son building trades model and tapping into the resources of a major franchise operator. Like car-detailing professional Peter Rossi, whom we featured in the Westfair Business Journal two weeks ago, and a growing band of young entrepreneurs, Heidenberg also wanted a career and business he considered AI-complementary, if not AI-proof. In a frank interview with the Journal, Heidenberg elaborated on that theme and shared some valuable insights as

to how his “small” business is likely to grow.

Troy, for someone without a family background in the trade, is flooring still a viable and attractive career today?

“Absolutely. Flooring is a stable, essential industry that tends to grow in line with GDP and construction. AI and other new technologies only help owners in the industry, not hurt them. To enter the industry with no prior experience, you need to learn from people with more hands-on experience.”

What kinds of personalities or skill sets tend to do well in this industry?

“Problem-solving skills are essential. Nothing goes perfectly correctly in flooring, and in many trades. It’s the ability to assess the problem, learn the solution and manage the project through the problems. Social skills are essential as well, as you are managing multiple people on each project.”

What would you say are the main routes into the flooring business today – apprenticeships, on-the-job training or

formal qualifications, and how long does it realistically take for someone to become competent and confident in the trade?

“On the job training and online training are most important, which is true of breaking into many handson trades. There are two major components to the flooring industry. One is the product side and being able to discern which products are appropriate given the circumstances. The other side is the installation side and the competency around properly installing a floor.”

What would be the first steps to setting up your own flooring business franchise and what kind of initial investment would be required to get started?

“The first step to being a franchise owner in flooring is much like being a franchise owner in anything. There is an extensive, multi-month ‘discovery’ period in which you and the parent franchise (the ‘franchisor’) mutually assess fit.

“Investments in services franchises range from $150,000 to $300,000, including initial fees and start-up expenses, and then the most successful franchisees invest well beyond that into growing their business.”

“AI and other new technologies only help owners in the industry, not hurt them.”

You advertise your "mobile flooring showroom." What is that and how does it work?

“Simply put: We bring the showroom to you. We spend a lot of time getting to know our customers and their needs in our first conversation. We take that knowledge and curate the universe of flooring products to fit our customers’ use cases, desires, price points and overall goal with their flooring project. There might be 100 types of hardwoods to choose from, but through getting to know our customer and having extensive knowledge of all the products available, we bring them a much smaller, curated set of product samples, directly to their house, to help them narrow down their choices and ultimately help them get exactly what they want in their budget.

“Plus, who wants to look at a product sample in the washed light of aisle 25? We show customers products right in their house, in their own light and use advanced AI tools to show them exactly what their new floor would look like.”

Moving on to money, we’d like to know what kind of income – and, as a consequence, salaries – can a flooring business franchise realistically hope to generate?

— Troy Heidenberg

“A well-run local flooring business should generate at least $150,000 in earnings. However, an exceptionally run business is only limited by the amount of customers it can serve. There’s room in Fairfield County to build a multimillion- dollar flooring business in the residential and light commercial space.”

Lastly, how much of your time is spent on physical work versus managing the business?

“I cut my teeth in the physical side of flooring, having been sanding and finishing floors since I was allowed on the job sites with my father as a teenager. Now I spend the majority of my time meeting customers, helping them solve their flooring needs, managing their projects and overseeing our team of extremely talented and experienced installers. Though every once in a while, it feels good to swing a hammer.”

2026 is the year of the azalea

By Melinda Myers

Azaleas add welcome color to the spring garden and some, like Encore, Perfecto Mundo and ReBLOOM offer additional blooms in summer and fall. With beautiful flowers in an array of colors and sizes and a variety of growth habits, it’s no wonder the: National Garden Bureau has declared 2026 the Year of the Azalea.

The keys to success are selecting azaleas adapted to the climate, placing them in a suitable location and, of course, providing proper care. Azaleas need slightly acidic soil with good drainage and prefer light to moderate shade. If shade is limited, consider growing Encore azaleas, Sweet Reward Coral azaleas or one of the more sun-tolerant varieties.

Once the perfect location is identified with adequate space for the plant’s mature size, it’s time to prepare the soil. Start with a soil test and follow any recommendations for amending the PH as needed. Incorporate compost or other organic matter into the planting bed, not just the planting hole, to improve drainage and moisture retention of the existing soil.

Dig a hole that’s the same depth as the root ball and two to four times wider with sloping sides. This loosens the surrounding soil as needed, allowing roots to extend beyond the planting hole. Do not dig a deeper hole as this leads to settling and the plant will end up in a low spot where water collects and can lead to root rot. If amending the soil, firm the bottom of the hole to prevent settling.

Loosen any circling pot-bound

roots prior to planting or shave off the outer 1 inch of roots, then gently tease out the roots along the edge. This encourages the roots to grow out and away from the root ball. When circling roots remain intact, they continue to grow around the original root ball, limiting moisture and nutrient uptake, along with plant stability, and eventually end up girdling the stem.

Make sure the crown of the plant, where the stems meet the topmost roots, is at or slightly above the soil surface. Create a raised planting area if gardening in heavy, slow-draining soil.

Water thoroughly, moistening the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Keep the soil moist but not overly wet, which can lead to root rot. Mulch the soil with leaves, evergreen needles or wood chips. Pull the mulch a few inches away from the stems. Organic mulch helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds and improve the soil as it decomposes.

Wait a year to fertilize and follow soil test recommendations. Most azaleas only need one fertilization in spring, while repeat bloomers may benefit from a second application mid-summer. Do not fertilize after the start of August as this can promote late season growth that is more susceptible to winter damage. Use slow-release fertilizer according to label directions. Avoid overfertilization that can prevent flowering and promote lush growth, which is more susceptible to insect damage.

Those gardening in zones five to seven — Westchester and Fairfield counties fall in the 6b and 7a zones — and interested in native plants

may want to add a Flame azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum) to their landscape. This azalea is native to the Appalachian Mountains from Pennsylvania to Georgia and grows 4 to 8 feet or more tall and 8 to 10 feet wide.

Look for opportunities to add an azalea or two to the landscape. Prepare the site and get busy planting this spring or fall.

“Keep the soil moist but not overly wet, which can lead to root rot — proper watering, good drainage, and careful site preparation are essential to helping azaleas establish healthy roots and thrive over time.”

WMCHealth cuts ribbon for Behavioral Health Center of Excellence in Poughkeepsie

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Although still awaiting final regulatory approvals to allow patient services to begin, WMCHealth’s MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of its refurbished and expanded inpatient behavioral health unit. The hospital’s Behavioral Health Center of Excellence now has 60 patient beds, an increase from its previous 40 bed capacity.

Other enhancements include: updated patient rooms and common areas with more natural light to improve the recovery process; a new patient comfort room where patients can listen to music and relax; and additional group activity and therapy space.

“Our Behavioral Health Center of Excellence reflects our deep commitment to delivering comprehensive, high-quality behavioral health care across the full continuum from inpatient and emergency services to outpatient addiction treatment,” said Elissa Chessari, executive director of WMCHealth’s Northern Region. “While the need for these services continues to increase, we are expand-

ing access, strengthening support, and ensuring that individuals and families in our community can receive the compassionate care they need to heal, recover, and thrive.”

Stephen J. Ferrando, chair of psychiatry at WMCHealth said, “By expanding capacity at MidHudson Regional Hospital, we can help more Hudson Valley residents get the right level of care close to home and connect them to follow-up services that sustain recovery after discharge.”

“The need to provide exceptional mental illness and substance use services for patients in the Hudson Valley has never been greater, and this investment is critical to the communities across the Hudson Valley that we serve,” said David Lubarsky, president and CEO of WMCHealth.

“This new inpatient unit is a transformative investment by the WMCHealth Network in behavioral health services at MidHudson Regional Hospital, and community well-being in Poughkeepsie and the surrounding areas.”

The expansion and upgrade plan was announced in 2022 with Dutchess County committing to fund the $3 million project.

“This investment in the new Be -

“With additional inpatient and outpatient capacity, this facility is helping ensure Hudson Valley residents can access critical mental health services whenever they are needed.”

havioral Health Center of Excellence at MidHudson Regional Hospital is a powerful step forward for the health and well-being of our community, expanding access to essential behavioral health services for individuals and families and ensuring care is both comprehensive and close to home,” said Dutchess County Executive Sue Seriono.

New York State Office of Mental Health Commissioner Ann Sullivan

said, “Celebrating the renovations that have led to the opening of the MidHudson Regional Hospital Behavioral Health Center of Excellence is an apt way to kick off May’s Mental Health Awareness Month. With additional inpatient and outpatient capacity at this facility, Westchester Medical Center Health Network is helping to ensure residents of the Hudson Valley can access critical mental health services whenever they are needed.”

Free water well testing for Westchester residents and businesses

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins was joined at Alfred B. DelBello Muscoot Farm in Katonah on May 1 for an announcement that Westchester residents and business owners who rely on private wells for drinking water can now apply for free PFAS testing through a New York state pilot program.

The Private Well PFAS Testing and Mitigation Rebate Pilot Program provides eligible homeowners, renters

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

and businesses with access to free PFAS water testing and financial assistance for treatment, or connection to a public water system. The program is currently available in a few counties including Westchester.

PFAS, polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of chemicals sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals.” They do not degrade in the environment and have been linked to adverse health effects. While public water systems are regularly tested and reg-

ulated, private wells are not, making PFAS programs critical for protecting residents who use private wells for drinking water.

Jenkins said, “Every family deserves access to safe, clean drinking water – no matter where they live. Protecting the health and well-being of our residents is one of our highest priorities, and this program is giving families the tools they need to better understand the quality of their drinking water. By expanding access to testing and mitigation resources, we are taking an important step forward in identifying and addressing PFAS contamination in

private wells.”

State Assemblymember Chris Burdick said, “I have been pushing for homeowners with private wells to have access to funds for testing, as well as to help mitigate drinking water contaminated with PFAS. I am hopeful that this pilot program will not only be successful but will lead to further funding opportunities.”

State Sen. Pete Harckham said, “PFAS are among the most persistent and hazardous chemicals in our environment, and addressing their impact at the individual level is prohibitively expensive. That’s why the government has a responsibility to help safeguard residents from these harmful substances through programs like this.”

According to State Sen. Shelley Mayer, “Access to safe, clean drinking water is fundamental to the health and well-being of our communities and by expanding testing and treatment, we are ensuring families can limit the impact of PFAS on their water supply.”

Those who are eligible can receive free testing of their private well for PFAS. If contamination is detected at or above New York state drinking water standards, participants may also qualify for rebates up to $5,000 to help pay for installation of a water treatment system, or up to $10,000 to connect to a public water supply.

Local weather guru’s ‘hobby’ job is being a go-to meteorologist

By Pamela Brown

In Fairfield County, Jack Drake is a pseudo-celebrity. Known as the Danbury Weather Guy on social media, he has become the trusted, go-to meteorologist who offers daily, up-to-theminute technical forecasts.

“I just broke 60,000 followers, which I never dreamed was possible. I try to bring a fun, upbeat, and local vibe to the weather reporting,” said Drake. “I just try my best to be authentic.”

To recognize Drake’s commitment to the school system and his community, Bethel Public Schools is awarding him the Friend of Bethel Award.

“This is an award given to someone in the community who has continued to give back to the school. He is a Bethel school parent and he’s

been really supportive,” said Christine Carver, Bethel superintendent of schools. Along with a ceremony that will be held this month where other school awards will be given out, Drake’s photograph will be hung on the wall in the Bethel school’s central office.

“Every year, a variety of people are nominated by the community,” Carver said. “The winner wasn’t hard at all this year; Jack’s name came up a lot. He was the perfect person because he has definitely gone above and beyond in support of Bethel schools.

“He volunteered to be a keynote speaker at the school’s 2024 Science Fair/Expo where he highlighted his craft. He’s taken part in numerous school visits and assemblies, and he was part of our STEAM Expo where

he spoke about meteorology and weather prediction.”

Carver admits she relies on Drake’s weather forecast for school delays and closings. “He’s become a real dependable voice, keeping parents up-to-date on weather. I find his school closure maps amusing,” she added.

Drake, a Bethel parent, was surprised upon learning of the award.

“I’m blessed to have a wonderful relationship with so many of the teachers and administrators at the schools. My aunt, Irene Drake, is a teacher at R.M.T. Johnson Elementary School and was actually the first to tell me,” he said. “I love sharing my passion with students. I’ve also consulted on forecasts for the First Selectman (Dan Carter) and Emergency Manager (Tom Galliford) in Bethel and I hosted a community event for the Solar Eclipse in 2024

on the Municipal Center lawn that brought hundreds of people together to look as the sky.”

Also, Drake hosted a “Twisters” movie night at Greenwood Features that brought in over 100 weather enthusiasts and storm chasers.

Form a very early age, Drake nurtured an interest in meteorology. “At four years old, I kept a weather journal and practiced live forecasts in my backyard,” he said.

Upon earning a B.S. in meteorology from Western Connecticut State University in 2017, Drake worked as an intern at WTNH Channel 8 in New Haven as a meteorologist/ reporter. There, he collaborated with other meteorologists as part of WTNH’s Storm Team 8.

“I had a good time there and learned a lot from the other meteorologists, including Gil Simmons and Kevin Arnone,” he said. “But I did not pursue a broadcast career at that time due to minimal job openings, low starting pay, and concerns about the future of the TV news industry. Also, the hours were rough,” he said. Instead, Drake pursued a career in corporate science to support his family without leaving his hometown. For his day job, he works as a quality engineer at Entegris, a semiconductor supply chain company in Danbury.

Retaining a love of weather forecasting, Drake started his Facebook page where he posts longer daily forecasts and explanations, sharing them across platforms. Over time, he has become well known across other area cities and towns for his accurate forecasting that features illustrative charts, graphs, and easy-to-understand technical explanations.

“I look at weather data every single day using a blend of tools – computer models, local weather stations, satellite/radar imagery,” he said. “I would do it regardless of whether I had a page of a following. I just live and breathe weather.”

His role models are Dr. Mel (Goldstein), chief meteorologist for WTNH who also created the WCSU Weather Center; Brad Field; and Gil Simmons. Drake is happiest when he can share his love of meteorology. “I would like to continue being a resource for the community when bad weather strikes and inspiring future generations that may have a passion for science/nature/ the outdoors,” he said.

Fairfield residents: More affordable housing for seniors, less dense neighborhoods

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

FAIRFIELD – Affordable or not, it is a given that the town needs more housing options for senior citizens who are looking to downsize their homes. At the same, there needs to be fewer tall buildings and less housing density in neighborhoods.

That was the consensus of a small group of residents who took part in a workshop sponsored by the town Affordable Housing Committee and led by town Community & Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart on April 29 at the Fairfield Museum.

“Overall, we think Fairfield is not quite on track but that it is getting there,” said one of the residents speaking for her group at the workshop.

“There is not enough senior housing. There are a lot of opportunities for seniors here, with the Bigelow Center (for Senior Activities). Yet, there aren’t a lot of housing options to accommodate this big percentage of the population.”

In fact, all of the five groups of participants agreed about a shortage of affordable places for senior citizens

(62+) to live in Fairfield as renters of owners of ranchstyle homes in the $300,000 range.

To guide the participants in conversation, Urb Leimkuhler, chair of the Affordable Housing Committee, gave them three questions to ponder:

Is the town on track to achieving the right mix of homes?

If we’re not on track, what changes in direction are needed?

Do you think this approach contemplates the type of housing that you and/or your family might need? If not, what’s missing?

“Senior housing of all types is needed,” another participant said. “Otherwise, we are going to lose the seniors to other communities. There needs to be an initiative to help them with the ownership of housing units. There also needs to be support for two- and three-family homes.”

Another participant said his group focused on the density issue and housing for those who might not yet be considered seniors.

“Larger and expensive homes that are close to each other (is a problem),”

Affordable Housing Committee holds workshop to ascertain current situation

the participant said when referring to the mix of homes. “There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason for this housing goes. Maybe there needs to be a more structured approach like TODs (transit-oriented development).

“(Also,) there is a big need for 55+ housing communities. We talked about some of the challenges of those and why they haven’t worked. As far as desired type of housing, rentals and ranch-style, which would be suitable because (senior) people don’t need bigger homes. Good rentals that are not sky high.”

Barnhart described the housing situation for elderly residents in Fairfield as one in need of help.

“We have about 20,000-22,000 households in Fairfield,” he said. “Of that 21% are single-person homes. Sixty-one percent of these households are women living alone, of which 65% are 65+ years of age. Fifty-two percent of extremely low-income households that have severe cost burdens are elderly households.”

Regarding affordable housing overall, another big issue is the rollout of Statute 8-30 (g) housing developments. 8-30 (g), enacted in 1989, sets a goal that 10% of each municipality's

housing stock qualify as “affordable” housing. If the 10% target is not met, developers may propose projects that are not subject to local zoning regulations. But the law allows for towns to file for a moratorium of 8-30 (g) projects if a municipality reaches a certain number of affordable housing developments. Those moratoriums are for four years at a time.

What has been frustrating for Barnhart and town Plan and Zoning Commission officials is that about half of P&Z denials of such large affordable housing developments are overturned on appeal. And to make matters worse, some are even abandoned as the property owner finds another less risky, more profitable use for the land.

“We see a fair number of 8-30 (g) projects that do get abandoned –about 20%,” Barnhart said. “They have been abandoned because they (the owner) found something better. For example, the medical office cancer center building (on Black Rock Turnpike near the Merritt Parkway) was approved for a 100-unit under 8 30 (g). Hartford Health Care decided it wanted to use that for medical office space. The owners decided that was a much better bet.”
