The week of May 16th officially marks National Public Works Week<\/a>\u00a0in the United States.<\/b>\u00a0During this week, we celebrate public works employees and construction partners – like the superintendents and engineers on our UCC team and our subcontractors who physically build our state-of-the-art public projects in the field. In terms of public works, these incredibly hard workers serve our community by building and renovating our schools, health centers, roads, airports and aircraft facilities, public spaces and more.<\/p>\n

The American Public Works Association (APWA) announced the theme for this year’s National Public Works Week: “Stronger Together.” According to APWA, the idea for this theme is to challenge their membership and the larger public works and associated communities\u00a0“to think about the role public works plays in creating a great place to live.\u00a0By working together, the impact citizens and public works professionals can have on their communities is magnified and results in the ability to accomplish goals once thought unattainable.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Give your fellow public works employees and construction partners some extra love this week!<\/p>\n
