“It has been the catalyst for economic vitality in White Plains,” Gordon said. “It has resulted in great opportunities to attract a high level of visitors and businesses.”

The Ritz-Carlton has attracted developers to White Plains, Mayor Thomas Roach said. He said he was shocked it has been five years since the hotel and commercial building joined the White Plains skyline.

Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett presented Ritz-Carlton Westchester General Manager Jeffrey Dziak with a proclamation marking the anniversary.

“We are pleased to be celebrating five wonderful years in Westchseter,” Dziak said.

In honor of the fifth anniversary, the Ritz will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its “Pot of Gold” cupcake from its Cupcakes that Care program to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center.
