People: Douglas Land Appointed to LDC

November 21, 2006

At the village town board meeting on Monday night, trustees approved the appointment of Douglas Land to the Local Development Corporation (LDC). Land’s appointment brings the total membership in the LDC to eight, including president Deke Hazirjian, vice president Peter Buttiglierri and treasurer Ray Yannone.

Land brings to his new position 25 years of experience helping businesses succeed in the marketplace. In 1987 he founded his company, the Chesapeake Group, to provide financial advisory services.

“What we have been best at,” Land says, referring to his company, “is working with people who have really good ideas but little business experience.. Here in the village, people have good ideas and we can help them figure out if those ideas will work.”

Land, who has been a part-time resident of the village for more than a decade, is enthusiastic about this volunteer role. He is strongly committed to the community of Cornwall-on-Hudson, more than to the busy world of Manhattan where he lives during the week. In the city, his financial deals often involve dozens of people. In the village, he expects that he will be able to work directly with people who are trying to create opportunities for all.

“Most of our personal relations are with people in Cornwall,” he says. “There is a tremendous opportunity to do something good here. You can feel it in people’s involvement in the community.” And, Land says, he is pleased to be part of that.
