Littleton Road Business Leaves Chelmsford For More Space

DSI Communications left for Littleton last month due to continuing growth and a lack of available locations in Chelmsford.

  After over a decade in Chelmsford, DSI Marketing Communication packed up shop last month, moving down Littleton Road from their previous location across from the Elks Club to their new home in Littleton. While the company’s preference was to stay within Chelmsford, a lack of affordable mixed industrial/commercial space required a move to the new Littleton location, which at 14,000 square feet is twice as large as its old location. “The company has grown so rapidly that moving to a larger space has been a priority for us,” said Laurie Cote, president and chief executive officer. “We’ve doubled our workforce since 2010 and expanded our design, marketing and printing capabilities to serve clients across the country. Our new office allows us…

Does the Chelmsford Business Association play a role in fostering, nurturing and retaining businesses in town, promoting the town as a strategically located business mecca?

BOS Supports Littleton Road Affordable Housing

Chelmsford Housing Authority Executive Director David Hedison presented a $31 million dollar project before the board on Monday night.

The Chelmsford Board of Selectmen voted unanimously on Monday night to support a $31 million project presented by Chelmsford Housing Authority Executive Director David Hedison. “This is not free housing; this is low and moderate,” clarified Hedison. “I can’t think of another site that would not cause controversy,” he added.

John, you are not correct about Carlisle. There are no legally tested by laws that allow them to limit 40B development. They have adopted local 40B rules, which do not even have the force of by laws, as they were not subject to approval by Town Meeting.

Residents Unaccounted For Following Fire At Woodcrest Condos

Firefighters from multiple communities battle stubborn blaze into the early morning hours.

A number of residents remain unaccounted for following a late-night fire that ripped through a 21-unit building at the Woodcrest Condominium complex on 181 Littleton Road on Saturday. The blaze in Building No. 4 (Units 425-445) left dozens of residents homeless, many of whom will be staying for the time being at an emergency shelter being set up at the Chelmsford Senior Center. However, fire officials believe there is a chance not all of the residents made it out of the building safely. "We have reason to believe that there may be unaccounted for residents of the building," said State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan. Neither he nor Chelmsford Chief Michael Curran would say specifically how many residents had not been accounted for as of 2 a.m. "…
