Cariello to serve as secretaryfor North East Planning Board

MILLERTON — Katie Cariello, the school-to-work coordinator at the North East Community Center, has moved into a new role as the Town of North East’s Planning Board Secretary.

“I’ve really taken to the North East area,” Cariello said. “I enjoy frequenting the libraries, shops, restaurants, and supporting local farmers and makers. I realized there was a space I hadn’t frequented yet, and that was our local government.”

The part-time position requires Cariello to attend two Planning Board meetings a month and to write the minutes for those meetings.

“When I saw the secretary position, I knew I wanted to throw my hat into the ring,” Cariello said. “I am excited to serve the board in taking notes and providing an accurate account of meetings. I’ve attended a couple of Town meetings as well as the latest Planning Board meeting and am looking forward to taking on the role. ”

Cariello has been working at the North East Community Center for over two years as their school-to-work coordinator. After being offered this position, Cariello and her husband moved to Amenia in 2022, and then purchased their first home in the village of Millerton in 2023.

“As a newer member to the community, I want to be present and be a part of the local fabric,” Cariello said.
