Reading time: 1 minute

Earlier this month, the town of Chelsea approved a tax incentive agreement that will support a new $75 million development, according to the Shelby County Reporter.
Called the Chelsea Plaza, the development will sit off of the eastbound side of Hwy 280 near the intersection of Chesser Plantation Lane and the highway.
“This project will bring new major retail and restaurant businesses to Chelsea along with creation of a significant number of jobs. Immediate additional cash flow to the city would begin as soon as retail operations commence. This is projected as early as 2028 based on the developer projections.”

- 14.5 acres of land
- 16 retail and commercial units
- Units range anywhere from 1,000 to 20,000 square feet
