Middle Tennessee State University volunteers will be on hand for the formal dedication of a new family home on East Sevier Street constructed by Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity—the third such home built by the University and Habitat.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. Thursday (Today).

In January 2006 MTSU students began fundraising efforts through various programs for the first MTSU Habitat Blitz Build. 2012 will mark the completion of the third home built for a Rutherford County resident by MTSU and Habitat.

MTSU's Centennial Habitat Build began Jan. 25. The house cost $60,000 to build with $20,000 being funded by members of the MTSU community. Other contributions came from supporters who wanted to help but were unable to physically participate in the build, organizers said.
