This week, we’re recognizing the people in our very own Public Works Department who provide and maintain city infrastructure and maintenance services. A primary goal of the celebratory week includes educating the general public about the value and necessities of public works projects and to call attention to the importance of public works in community life.

With so many important responsibilities this team oversees, we think it’s fitting to create some space to celebrate this group.
