A community discussion is scheduled to take place at Chelsea Town Hall Saturday, April 21st, 5p-7m. Facilitated by the Vermont Council on Rural Development, in partnership with the Green Mountain Economic Development Corporation, the focus of this event will be to bring together area-residents, with the hopes of generating a collective vision for establishing a community grocery store in Chelsea.

Paul Costello, Bob Haynes and Jenna Koloski bring their experience to the table, sharing insights on the various challenges and opportunities associated with starting and establishing a store, as well as the kinds of steps and goals that will need to be defined by the community in order to begin building action around this project.

If you would like to be part of this discussion and project, please bring your ideas to share on April 21st. Light refreshments and appetizers will be served. For more information, please email: firstbranchcollaborative@gmail.com
