Explanation:
The American Public Works Association has declared May 18-24, 2025, as National Public Works Week. Every year since 1960, the last week of May has been dedicated to the recognition of public works professionals across the United States. This year’s theme is “People, Purpose, Presence, “highlights three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve in their communities every day. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. Many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. Yet, with or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all.
The proclamation will be accepted by Public Works Director Joseph S. Kroll, and Public Works’ staff.
Fiscal Impact:
