The 2024 Deconstruction + Reuse Conference, hosted by Build Reuse, will be held in Savannah, Georgia, February 12-14, 2024.

On Monday, February 12, Build Reuse will host a Deconstruction Policy Panel in partnership with conference host Re:Purpose Savannah. The panel will be open to the public.

A growing number of cities and counties across the country are exploring and implementing deconstruction policies. From incentives to ordinances to creative partnerships, local governments see deconstruction and building material reuse as an essential tool to support climate action, equity and social justice, economic vitality, workforce development, and cultural heritage + local identity. Attend this engaging panel to hear from policy administrators and advocates about the drivers and impacts of their efforts, how other communities can follow suit, and challenges and opportunities that have arisen from implementation.

• Emily Freeman — City of Boulder, Colorado

• Stephanie Phillips — City of San Antonio, Texas

• Lauren Zimmerman — City of Portland, Oregon

• Olivia Cashman — Hennepin County, Minnesota
