National Public Works Week

2025 National Public Works Week Web Banner

National Public Works Week is celebrated annually at the end of May.  Since 1960, the American Public Works Association has sponsored National Public Works Week "to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve everyday quality of life."   

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."
