About Us
In early January of 2010, concerned citizens, along with the City and DDA of Chelsea, commissioned four focus groups which were attended by Chelsea citizens, merchants and civic organizations. The focus groups goals were to answer questions about themselves, their community and understand our common goals. As a result of the focus groups, a cross section of our community initiated the Chelsea First Steering Committee. The Chelsea First Steering committee has committed to building a comprehensive marketing initiative that will intertwine forward planning and communications and instill cohesive, fiscal campaigns.
