MassDEP is hosting their next Deconstruction Workgroup meeting:
(*a sub-working group of MassDEP’s Reduce & Reuse Working Group).
Wednesday, January 17, 1:30-3:00 p.m.
Deconstruction Workgroup Virtual Meeting
All are welcome!
On January 17th, MassDEP will recap key learnings from 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.
Participants can then offer feedback on what tools and/or support would help move the needle in their sector (architects/engineers/designers, deconstruction and demolition, policy, reuse, historic preservation, workforce development, etc.). The event will conclude with a snapshot of what is planned for this spring/summer to enable regional deconstruction efforts across the state.
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
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.
Recordings and presentations from previous meetings are posted on MassDEP’s website at this link.
