Kadushin Associates, Alexander Pollock, Dangerous Architects, JC Beal Construction and the Chelsea Connection LLC, 90 days to secure bank financing in order redevelop the Longworth property. The developers also have until the authoritys next regular meeting on June 21 to have an agreement with the city drafted, but just the agreement the financing of $1 million from a bank loan is not required until the end of the 90-day period in early September. The developer proposal is for a mixed-use development including a restaurant operated by the owners of places like Red Hawk Bar & Grill, Caseys Tavern and Revive and Replenish as well as a pottery store, boutique retail and five lofts. The total development cost for building the project is $2.1 million, which goes up to $3.7 million, when taking into consideration other remediation efforts on the site, according to authority member Palmer Morrel-Samuels. The city and DDA have $400,000 invested in the Longworth buildings, which includes the Livery, the Daniels Showroom and the Mack building. City officials are also looking at providing $150,000 in residential equivalent user fee schedule, or REUs, and when developed the complex would receive $200,000 in asbestos remediation from an asbestos removal grant. Despite the unanimous approval of the Longworth Development Companys plan, not everyone at the DDAs meeting was fond of that proposal or the other choice, that of Michael Prochaska and Ernest Zacharys proposed 20-units of living space accompanied by unspecified retail space. I favor neither one of them, due to financing (and) timeframe, said Mayor Jason Lindauer, who serves on the authority as the city councils liaison, although in the spirit of moving forward in a positive direction, he cast his lot with LDCs proposal.

he sounds were echoing down the streets and back alleys. And the sights were both familiar and welcoming. The return of the popular Sounds & Sights on Thursday nights in downtown Chelsea is one of the first signs of summer and the signs for this spectacular event continue to be positive from city officials to musicians to business owners and, of course, the thousands that stroll the streets each summer. This past Thursday night featured an impressive lineup of musical acts, childrens entertainers and other artists performing

at separate staged areas throughout downtown Chelsea. Visitors enjoyed a juried sculpture walk, plenty of food options, a casual and family-friendly atmosphere and outstanding music. Among the many musical highlights included the Rhythm on a Stick Steel Drum Band performing for a big crowd at the Clocktower Gazebo, Matthew Dankos original folk music and some jazz by Dorkestra at the Glazier Building. There was a double shot of the blues from the impressive Bull Halsey playing at East Middle and The Bluescasters performing at the Sylvan Courtyard.
