Village of Wauconda Public Works Department is celebrating the American Public Works Association’s (APWA) National Public Works Week from May 18-24, 2025.
This year’s theme, “People, Purpose, Presence,” highlights “three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve in their communities every day,” according to APWA. The organization explains that “meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. ” Often, public works professionals remain unseen because “when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. ” Regardless of recognition, they continue to work in the background to improve quality of life for all.
