The City of Chelsea, MA and parking solution provider InterPark/PreFlight held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Chelsea Creek Waterfront Project recently. The project will deliver a new public access point to the Chelsea Creek waterfront, bolstering the city’s resiliency efforts and paving the way for future commercial development.
““This project lays the foundation for something even more transformative…[creating] the framework necessary for PreFlight to redevelop the site, envision new industrial and commercial buildings rising out of the current parking lots – bringing with them good-paying jobs, much-needed tax revenue, and access to our waterfront,” Fidel Maltez, City Manager of Chelsea, told the gathering.
The existing PreFlight site comprises 22.65 acres. The Chelsea Creek Waterfront Project will transform the site by creating a new walkway that connects the sidewalk at Eastern Avenue to a scenic viewing area along Chelsea Creek. The destination observation area will further honor the site’s maritime heritage with reclaimed granite block seating and a historic anchor point.
