Whereas such infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are engineers, managers, and employees of Federal, State, and local government and the private sector, and who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our Nation’s transportation, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for our citizens;
Whereas public works professionals play a key role in helping the United States recover from the COVID–19 pandemic;
Whereas it is in the public interest for citizens, civic leaders, and children of the United States to gain knowledge of, and to maintain a progressive interest and understanding of, the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities; and
Whereas the week of May 15 through May 21, 2022, marks the 62nd annual “National Public Works Week”: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports “National Public Works Week” and encourages the people of the United States to pay tribute to our public works professionals, engineers, managers, and employees and to recognize the substantial contributions they make to protecting our national health, safety, and quality of life.
