MILLERTON — After years of uncertainty, village officials announced Monday that nearly $1 million in federal funding is now finalized and available for the joint Millerton-North East wastewater project, clearing the way for the next phase of engineering work.
The $959,752 grant, secured by Congressman Pat Ryan and administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will fully fund the project’s engineering design, according to Erin Moore, vice president of Tighe & Bond, the engineering and consulting firm leading the effort. The news was shared as trustees convened Monday, Jan. 12, for their monthly workshop meeting.
Moore said she received the final grant agreement by email on Dec. 31, 2025, officially closing out the federal approval process. She said the funding will pay for all of the engineering design work and allow the project to move to its next phase. “It was a very happy email to receive, and now our focus is accessing those funds,” she said.
The entire North East Town Board joined the village meeting to hear the presentation.
“I have to take my hat off to everyone working on this,” said North East Supervisor Chris Kennan, noting that the work on the project, particularly related to financing, has been complicated. “Tracking every dollar — where it’s allocated, where it goes and who’s responsible — requires an extraordinary level of detail. We’re very grateful for the work that’s being done.”
After the presentation, the board postponed the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process for renovations at Veterans Park. Required by the state, the SEQR process examines potential environmental, social or economic impacts of the renovations, and the board will first seek comments from the Dutchess County Planning Department before beginning the review.
The renovations to Veteran’s Park are being funded by a Community Development Block Grant awarded in 2024. Village officials previously secured an extension on the grant and the construction is expected to wrap up by Memorial Day. Mayor Jenn Najdek said she doesn’t expect the delay to significantly affect the construction timeline.
Trustees also postponed discussion of a local law to formally establish a village tree committee, a group that has been in development for several months. The board will meet with legal counsel to review a proposed committee description before bringing the matter back for discussion and scheduling a public hearing.
The village also approved the resignation of Deputy Clerk Emerald Havelin, who will step down from her role effective Jan. 29 to spend more time with family. Joshua Schultz, a member of the Planning Board, also resigned, effective Jan. 12. His term was scheduled through the end of 2029. The board voted to replace Schultz permanently with alternate Planning Board member Ata Secilmis.
The Millerton Inn on Main Street will host the first dinner in this year's Dine Out for History series on Sunday, Jan. 18. A local history quiz including a free glass of wine will precede dinner service at 5:30 p.m. Reservations are requested.
MILLERTON —Diners will once again have the opportunity to support the North East Historical Society this winter while enjoying meals at local restaurants with the return of “Dine Out for History.”
Seven restaurants across Millerton and the Town of North East will be participating in this year's event, marking the highest number since the COVID-19 Pandemic shuttered the event from 2020 to 2022.
On select dates from Jan. 18 through March 23, participating restaurants will host their own Dine Out for History night, with 10% of the evening’s proceeds donated to the historical society to support research, digitization of its collection and efforts to make historic content more accessible to the public.
“We’re very happy to see the significant support we are getting from local restaurants,” said Edward Downey, president of the North East Historical Society. “We aim to bring them more business at a tough time of year, and from the feedback we’ve gotten, their patrons enjoy rallying to support local history.”
The series will begin Sunday, Jan. 18, at The Millerton Inn, 53 Main St. An optional brief presentation — a participatory local history quiz — will be held at 5:30 p.m. for those who wish to arrive early. The program includes a complimentary glass of wine, with dinner to follow. Reservations are requested.
The other participating restaurants include Taro’s at 18 Main St. on Thursday, Jan. 29; Willa at 52 Main St. on Thursday, Feb. 12 (reservations requested); the Oakhurst Diner at 19 Main St. on Sunday, Feb. 22; Pasture Kitchen at 130 Route 44, on Thursday, March 5; the Golden Wok at Railroad Plaza, 2 Main St., on Sunday, March 15 (takeout only); and Round III at 5523 Route 22, on Monday, March 23.
