National Public Works Week
May 15th 2022 through May 21st 2022

Original Release: 5/13/2022

Every year National Public Works Week gets bigger and better. The number of participating municipalities continues to grow, which means the number of citizens who are exposed to the value of public works grows.

One of the main goals of the American Public Works Association (APWA) is to educate the general public about the value and necessities of public works projects throughout North America.

Since 1960, APWA has sponsored National Public Works Week.

Across North America, their more than 30,000 members in the U.S. and Canada use this 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.

APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take this opportunity to make their stories known in their communities.

The National Public Works Week How-To Guide and Downloads area are available to agencies to assist in the development and implementation of their own individual celebrations.

The occasion is marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors, as well.

Come together with us as we celebrate in honor of the contribution public works makes in planning, building, managing and operating the heart of our local communities and building quality of life.
