Wiley Harrison
IDA Board Member
Westchester County Industrial Development
Agency:
More than 100 organizations and
companies have sought and received benefits
totaling more than $200 million in the past 25
years. While large corporations have certainly
been represented, many of the benefits have
gone to firms with fewer than 25 employees.
WHY WESTCHESTER:
“The advantages of having a
business based in Westchester are immense. Among them is
the largely diverse and educated population, as well as the close
proximity to New York City.”
MOST VALUABLE RESOURCES:
“As the founder of
a successful small business, I bring a different perspective
to the IDA process. My job is advocating on behalf of those
entrepreneurs struggling to take their companies to the
next level.”
SECRET TO SUCCESS:
“The IDA genuinely cares
about helping businesses – of all sizes – to thrive in
Westchester. No matter how small your business, contacting
Westchester’s IDA should be the first call you make.”
John C. Federspiel
President
Hudson Valley Hospital Center:
A fully
accredited, not-for-profit hospital in Cortlandt
Manor with more than 350 physicians, 1,300
employees and a $160 million budget. The Cheryl
R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center, an IDA project,
opened in November 2011.
WHY WESTCHESTER:
“Westchester provides a unique
business atmosphere. Its proximity to NYC makes for a
demanding consumer with the highest of expectations. At
the same time, its scenic beauty and its complement of small
communities, each with its own strong history and identity,
make it a place where civility and small-town values are still
important.”
REWARDING MOMENT:
“There have been many proud
moments – the most significant was our MAGNET designation
achieved in 2007. Only 7 percent of hospitals in the U.S. are
designated, and we are the only hospital in the Hudson Valley
region.”
SECRET TO SUCCESS:
“Our patient satisfaction scores
are consistently above 97 percent for one reason: Our employees
are happy. When you love what you do, that is translated to the
people you serve.”
