SU students lending a helping hand for Cambridge housing quality study

CAMBRDIGE, Md.- The city and Salisbury University is teaming up to rebuild their neighborhoods.

We’re told students will re-do a study they did 5 years ago.

They will be going into the city looking at properties making notes on potential trouble spots and issues regarding the quality of life in neighborhoods.

They then give that information to planners who will see how things changed over time and where funding will be used next.

“It really does help the city of Cambridge perform a survey that we may not have the staffing available to do and then we may not have the expertise for the technology or the other aspects of the project how to perform,” Mayor Andrew Bradshaw, of Cambridge, said.

“It’s just a classic example about how local government and Salisbury University can come together to help better the situation for the citizens of the Delmarva peninsula its always something that we at the university are striving to do,” Dr. Michael Scott, the Dean of Henson School of Science and Technology at SU, said.

We’re told Cambridge is really the first city where Salisbury students have done this for and the city is a leader in using that information provided.

Mayor Bradshaw said the city will also work with non-profits to get people into the homes they end up repairing and rebuilding.
