History

The ReCONNstruction Center was founded in 2003 by John Powers and his staff. The original founders of The ReCONNstruction Center created this nonprofit organization in order to reduce the waste of natural resources by the re-use of building materials. Selling the materials at very affordable prices allowed The ReCONNstruction Center to be a community resource and help owners and landlords maintain affordable housing.

Specialties

The mission of The ReCONNstruction Center is to promote environmental and social sustainability by salvaging and acquiring building materials and selling them at prices affordable to average wage earners, and to support these activities specifically in urban areas, recognizing those locations as essential to the long term sustainability of the economy and culture.
