Whereas, public works professionals serve their communities every day, meeting people’s needs gives public works its sense of purpose; and

Whereas, public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to the public health, quality of life, and well-being of the people of North Carolina; and

Whereas, these infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are engineers, managers, and employees at all levels of government and the private sector and who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our nation’s transportation, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for our residents; and

Whereas, it is in the public interest for the residents, civic leaders, and children in North Carolina to gain knowledge of and to maintain an ongoing interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities; and

Whereas, 2025 marks the 65^th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association/Canadian Public Works Association;
