Soofa Signs arrive in Chelsea, Expanding its Greater Boston Presence
Soofa technology has arrived in the second most densely-populated city in the state of Massachusetts. The City of Chelsea is the eleventh municipality in the Greater Boston area to implement Soofa technology into its smart city infrastructure.
Nestled between two towns with existing Soofa technology—Everett and Revere—Chelsea is a short drive from Downtown Boston, Boston Logan Airport, and various beaches.
The city has partnered with Soofa to keep all Chelsea residents informed about city information, public health guidelines, community resources, and more.
The first Soofa Sign will be anchored in Bellingham Square, a historic area within the city housing Chelsea’s civic buildings, local businesses, and transit corridors.
The Sign will display city updates, evolving public health guidelines, local business specials, community resources, and upcoming community events in multiple languages.
The back of the Sign is wrapped in a full-color vinyl sticker, providing wayfinding information and highlighting local points of interest such as Chelsea’s City Hall, Library, Senior District, and Division Street, home to Chelsea’s vibrant, eye-popping murals.
The vinyl also provides information about the city’s 311 hotline, displaying a QR code directing users to the city’s newly-developed 311 app.
“Staying closely connected to Chelsea residents is as important as it’s ever been. By implementing Soofa’s cutting-edge technology into our communications infrastructure, we are able to bring important, local information into the outdoors and into public spaces, increasing access to city updates and community news among residents. We’re looking forward to a successful partnership with Soofa.”
Thomas G. Ambrosino, City Manager
