Celebrating National Public Works Week In Pennsauken
By Joe Scavuzzo, Director, Department of Public Works
The week of May 20 is dedicated as “National Public Works Week.” Each year, the American Public Works Association (APWA) chooses a theme. According to the APWA, this year’s theme, entitled, “The Power of Public Works,” “gives voice to the impact the many facets of public works have on modern civilization.” The APWA’s overview includes some of the less glamorous functions: solid waste disposal, removing snow and the unseen work, such as emergency management response strategy planning for disasters. The latter part of the overview reads “and invites the public to celebrate their quiet dedication and indispensable influence on our way of life.”
