Unveiling a Plan for North Bellingham Hill

Over the course of 2009 the City of Chelsea and Chelsea Neighborhood Developers partnered with residents of the Bellingham Hill section of the Shurtleff-Bellingham neighborhood to create a new vision for the area.  Ideas for improving the neighborhood were generated by residents and by city and community leaders at a series of planning meetings; priority ideas were incorporated into the Action Plan. The Plan recognizes that sustainable improvement requires changes on many levels:  in the built environment, in the neighborhood’s social networks, and in improvements to the economic opportunities available to residents.  To be successful, the plan requires that its community partners -- Bellingham Hill residents, the City of Chelsea, and Chelsea Neighborhood Developers -- each commit to specific action steps. Partner representatives have each endorsed the plan and are ready to get to work to make this vision a reality.

 

CND, the City of Chelsea, and the residents of Bellingham Hill thank the Community Design Resource Center of Boston for facillitating a model of collaboration.
