Mission

Report

Our Mission Statement: 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.

History

Report

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. The ReCONNstruction Center operated for four and a half years supported by several grants and the proceeds from the sale of materials.

About Us

Report

Selling quality preowned items is as old as common sense. Yankee frugality and global knowledge came together and spawned the concept of creating a used building materials store here in Connecticut. John Powers, a Connecticut native, had seen building materials being reused all over the U.S. and abroad.

Giving Back

Report

As part of our mission to support the community, The ReCONNstruction Center recently donated to Rebuilding Together New Britain, for which they were very grateful. We have also presented a "really big check" to the Hartford Area Habitat for a Habitat Project on Sexton Street in New Britain.
