Chelsea, Massachusetts Relocation Guide
|
Population: 28,710 Located in Suffolk County
Chelsea is an inner urban suburb of Boston, the capital city of Massachusetts, with a diverse population of 35,080. Its location bordering Boston, on Boston Harbor and only three miles from Logan International Airport, gives it ideal access by water, rail, land and air. The local economy centers on this access. A charter change in 1995 designed an efficient council-manager form of government, which has focused on improving the quality of service the city provides to its residents and businesses, while establishing financial policies that have significantly improved the city's financial condition. Increased emphasis on economic development and capital improvement has lead to a remarkable influx of new business and homebuyers interested in taking advantage of superior services and unparalleled access. The City provides general governmental services for the territory within its boundaries, including police and fire protection, trash collection and disposal, public education (pre-kindergarten through grade twelve), water and sewer services, parks and recreation, health and social services, libraries/culture and maintenance of streets and highways. The principal services provided by Suffolk County are space for courts, a jail, a house of correction, and a registry of deeds. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority provides commuter rail service and bus coverage throughout the City with connections to the metropolitan Boston area. The Metropolitan District Commission maintains certain parks and highways. The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority provides water and sewerage disposal services to the City.
