In the years following the Great Recession, Ypsilanti neighborhoods have rebounded from economic and housing problems. However, Ypsilanti's Sugarbrook neighborhood has seen a slower upswing. So, the Huron Valley chapter of Habitat for Humanity decided to step in. In this week's "On the Ground-Ypsi," WEMU's Patrick Campion and Concentrate Media's Sarah Rigg learn all about this redevelopment project from Sugarbrook neighborhood watch coordinator Glenn Fitzhugh and Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley representative Ceara Murtagh.
