National Public Works Week 2024

The purpose of National Public Works Week is to educate the public about the importance of public works—planning, building, managing, and operating at the heart of local communities to improve quality of life each day. 

Public Works in your neighborhood

Infrastructure and public works activity are all around us but we seldom notice it. . .unless it stops working! Our streets and sidewalks, drinking water, storm water and wastewater systems form an important, but mostly hidden, backbone for our community.
