People, Purpose, Presence | May 18 - May 24, 2025
National Public Works Week (NPWW) is an annual week-long celebration of the essential public services rendered by infrastructure, construction, and operations staff. The week of May 18th to 24th provides an important opportunity to recognize and acknowledge the achievements of the Public Works and Engineering division.
This year’s theme, “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.
