Starting at 9 a.m., teams will build up the walls of an energy-efficient project at 966 N. Prospect Rd. in Ypsilanti for a future buyer.
Those interested in participating throughout March can create a team of 8-10 friends, family or colleagues, and sign up for a “Build” day on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
