Good morning, Ypsilanti.

Ralph Yang (82, Parkinson's) went missing after his Monday night walk during a heat wave and was found safe just before 9 p.m. Wednesday near Newport Road in Ann Arbor by a community volunteer.

A fallen tree hit Apartment 12 at 815 George Place in Ypsilanti Township on June 25, causing six power lines to fall and leaving the unit uninhabitable and the building without electricity—workers wait for a crane and a signed waiver to remove the tree safely.

The City of Ypsilanti is inviting residents to complete a survey to shape its Parks and Recreation Master Plan for 2026—2030.

Paper copies are available at City Hall and two public meetings will be held in August.

At a recent Augusta Township meeting, 40 residents raised concerns over the rezoning of land for a planned $1 billion data center near Milan by Thor Equities — officials stated the project was not on the agenda and halted further discussion.
