City manager says Chelsea manages roughly $27 million in grants across housing, infrastructure and resiliency
Summary
The city manager reported the Department of Housing and Community Development is managing about $27 million in grants for community development, economic development, transportation, climate resiliency and open space improvements.
On May 11 the city manager presented a comprehensive update on grants managed by Chelsea's Department of Housing and Community Development, saying the department oversees approximately $27,000,000 in grant funding across multiple categories.
The manager said grant funds cover community development block grants, economic development, transportation and infrastructure, climate resiliency and open-space improvements. The update stated these resources support parks and open-space upgrades, sidewalk and roadway replacement, water and sewer modernization and resiliency projects the municipal budget alone could not fund.
The manager praised staff for winning competitive awards and emphasized the need for qualified personnel and financial infrastructure to manage grants in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. The council accepted and filed the communication.
The communication did not identify specific projects for all line items, but it conveyed that grant management remains a priority for the department and that grant resources will continue to support capital and resiliency projects.
