Click here to join us!<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYof-ChrD0oE9bQt4yoMNZQjZNRdEjXjw9L__;!!O9h35Ks8fCsF!Ej13kQ69iZlw6G5bOHryhmfLyXzEfdLgQHSyK410NHIQaRoSPgaDJbQCmjgWmgSQqmrUF-3-lYo49KK9TOZR0aJ5fcyL9Z-cuP6O$>
On January 17th, we will review key learnings from our previous meetings, provide a summary of essential elements included in deconstruction and reuse ordinances implemented in other cities/states, and hear what steps are being taken in two Massachusetts municipalities to enable deconstruction and reuse.  We will then ask meeting participants to offer feedback on what tools/support would help move the needle in their sector (architects/engineers/designers, deconstruction and demolition, policy, reuse, historic preservation, workforce development, etc.).   We will end with a snapshot of what we have planned for this spring/summer to enable regional efforts across the state.
Our speakers include:

?  Abbey Massaro, RecyclingWorksMA and Center for EcoTechnology

?  Randy Scott, Select Demo Services and Hancock Academy

?  Susan Cascino, City of Boston

?  Michael Orbank, STO Building Group, Carbon Leadership Forum Boston
Come with your questions and an open mind. Let's harness our strengths to enable reuse of existing buildings along with development of a vibrant, local, reuse economy for building materials.
Who should attend: Municipal officials, advocacy groups, historic preservationists, architects/engineers/construction professionals, deconstruction and demolition businesses, waste haulers, building materials and reuse organizations, solid waste and recycling professionals.
Please share this invitation with all who may be interested.

Explore the growing trend of integrating reuse practices into climate action plans during our forum "Reuse in Climate Action Plans." Governments are increasingly recognizing the environmental benefits of reusing durable goods, spanning construction materials, consumer items, household goods, electronics, books, textiles, and fixtures.
