This year National Public Works Week celebrates the vital role Public Works plays in connecting us all together. The theme is “Public Works Connects Us.” To celebrate the occasion, Public Works maintenance staff wanted to connect with the community. On Friday, Public Works staff spent the morning at the Belle Haven Child Development Center. About 90 preschoolers were able to meet the people who maintain their school and neighborhood. Kids were excited see the tools and equipment, especially the front end loader and compactor. Events like this help to strengthen our community and keep us all connected.
