it's just north of 287 (which runs roughly east-west (towards the tappan zee
bridge at tarrytown)).  it looks like it's just off 9A (which runs roughly
north-south).  here's a link to a location that's off 9A just south of 287
that includes some train and bus info:
   http://www.mhawestchester.org/locations/elmsford.asp

there's lots of links; google for "9a 287 elmsford".
even "401 fieldcrest elmsford" brings several hits of other companies
that are apparently in the same building.
