That's not Nantucket — last week, NPT headed south to Savannah, Georgia for the 2024 @buildreuse conference, Salvaging the Past, Building a Low Carbon Future. We were joined by @housingnantucket, @townofnantucket, and ReMain Nantucket for three days of learning about salvage and reuse initiatives happening across the country. We also got to visit @repurposesavannah's headquarters and lumberyard! Read more about the conference on our blog at the link in bio.
