Title
Proclamation for National Public Works Week May 19-25, 2024.
Body
Summary:
The American Public Works Association (APWA) is proud to announce the theme "Advancing Quality of Life for All" for the 2024 National Public Works Week. Public works contributes to advancing and enhancing our quality of life, no matter where we live in the world. Public works professionals provide essential services that lead to healthier, happier, more vibrant communities.
The "Advancing Quality of Life for All" theme shines a spotlight on the way public works professionals advance our quality of life, whether as a Public Works first responder to an emergency event (such as tornados, floods, etc.), regular waste pickup, or a myriad of other ways they silently serve their communities.
Public works professionals advance the quality of life by providing an infrastructure of services in water, wastewater, and fleet maintenance, traffic maintenance, street & drainage maintenance, solid waste, and electrical / HVAC maintenance of all city facilities. They are what make our communities dynamic places to live and work. Join us in celebrating the quiet work these professionals do that makes life better for all of us.
