Fundraiser to Help Highland Residents Hit By StormFundraiser to Help Highland Residents Hit By Storm

7/31/14 - Following last weekend’s severe storms, one local community is coming together to help those whose homes were damaged. The storm Sunday brought wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour and large hail to the area and while thousands of homes and businesses were affected by power outages, residents of the Highland Greens Estates mobile home park on North Milford Road in Highland Township were hit harder than most. Approximately 80% of the nearly 430 homes in the development suffered damage from the storm, with hail leaving many looking “like Swiss cheese” according to Highland Greens Sales Manager Jessica Ohrt. To help those residents get back on their feet, the Comeback Inn in Highland is holding a benefit until they close at 2am Friday. Owner Chris Baker is holding the fundraiser in conjunction with Huron Valley Schools. The Comeback Inn is located at 1451 S Milford Rd, Highland Township. Call 248-887-5900 for more information. (JK)
