Residents & Visitors
Great communities are created through strategy and intention, most successfully when driven by the community itself.

We are creating a more vibrant, equitable, and connected Chelsea.

Plan: 5 Focus Areas
Strengthening Community
Chelsea has an incredible diversity of cultures. Engaging residents, promoting the arts, and fostering the leadership capacity of Chelsea residents are paramount for success.
Safety & Resident Wellness
Residents and stakeholders continually brought up issues that relate to the overall wellness of the community. Working to improve neighborhood safety, pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, and healthy lifestyles pays dividends long into the future.
Youth & Recreation
Improvements are needed to existing parks and recreational facilities as well as programming for Neighborhood youth. The Chelsea Neighborhood will benefit from the activation of O’Donnell Park and the establishment of quality recreational programming for youth.
Housing
Housing needs were very clear – better quality housing priced within residents means. Supporting individuals looking to purchase a home, improving the quality of the existing housing stock, and promoting the overall resilience and beautification of Neighborhood properties.
Economic Development
The strategies in this section fall into two categories – supporting the businesses in the neighborhood; and providing resources to the residents to earn a living wage with opportunity for advancement. Diversifying the Neighborhood economy, supporting existing businesses, and preparing workers for good, local jobs will lead to a vibrant Chelsea.
