Anne Dillenbeck
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Bank has added mortgage originator Anne Dillenbeck to its mortgage originations team. Dillenbeck will be serving Saratoga County and the greater Capital Region, where she will educate consumers and real estate professionals about Berkshire Bank’s unique mortgage programs.

Dillenbeck has been a mortgage loan originator since 2003, when she began her mortgage career with Homestead Funding; that same year she was named Rookie of the Year for. After Homestead Funding, she joined Countrywide Home Loans, where she earned the designation of Top Producer two years in a row. Following the acquisition of Countrywide by Bank of America, she became a Bank of America loan officer, working out of the Latham and Saratoga Springs offices.

With expertise in mortgage sales, Dillenbeck will help Berkshire Bank extend the availability of its residential mortgage loan program in the greater Capital Region. She is a graduate of Cornell University and also holds a Master of Science degree from University of Michigan. She lives in southern Saratoga County with her husband.

“We are excited to welcome Anne to our growing New York mortgage team,” said James A. Sherbo, first vice president of Retail Lending at Berkshire Bank. “Her experience and knowledge of the needs of our Capital Region customers will help us extend our presence as the most innovative and customer-centric mortgage bank in the region.”

In this role, Dillenbeck will be responsible for developing new mortgage business directly with consumers and through real estate and financial professionals.

Dalton Planning Board OKs Gravel Company Permit

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board approved the renewal of Nichols Sand and Gravel's special permit for earth removal. 
 
The company, located at 190 Cleveland Road, operates a gravel pit there. 
 
The hours of operation will remain 7 to 4 p.m. The commission approved owner Paul Nichols' request to allow trucks to depart the property in either direction. 
 
Nichols has to apply for renewal of the special permit every year. The previous permit required the truck to exit the property to the right.
 
It makes more sense to go left if truck drivers have to go to the Pittsfield area, Nichols said. He has talked to the residents in the area and they are agreeable to the change. 
 
Former residents requested this stipulation nearly 16 years ago to reduce the number of trucks using the residential street to avoid disturbing the quality of life and neighborhood. 
 
There weren't any residents present during the meeting who expressed concerns regarding this change.
