CHELSEA, MA-A $100-million ecologically friendly mixed-use project is bringing residents, businesses and nature back to a once contaminated factory site on the Chelsea waterfront. The site, once home to a nine-building printing plant, was contaminated with oil, ink and debris that was killing off birds and fish along its shoreline when Urban Design & Development bought the property in 2004.

Today, after several million dollars in remediation work, including the planting of saltgrass along the tidelands, the heron and egrets are returning and the salt bass that spawn along Mill Creek and the Chelsea River can be seen jumping offshore. By the summer of 2008, the site will also be home to an eclectic mix of environmentally conscious residents.
