WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. February 1, 2007: Bruce Berg, Vice President of Cappelli Enterprises, speaking to WPCNR today has categorically denied that Cappelli Enterprises is seeking to acquire a country club in White Plains, or any country club anywhere else as an amenity for guests of the Ritz-Carlton Westchester, the dual-spired luxury hotel rising on Main Street.
Mr. Berg said, "I told you before, there is no truth to that," referencing a widely circulated report to community neighborhood associations that Cappelli Enterprises was seeking to purchase a local country club. The rumor had Cappelli Enterprises demolishing a clubhouse, building another one, and making it available to guests and residents of the Ritz-Carlton for play as a "perk." Asked if the Cappelli organization was seeking arrangements for use of other country clubs in the area, Berg said, "not at all. Nowhere."
