Dixon Celebrates National Public Works Week

National Public Works Week will be held this year from Sunday, May 17^th to Saturday, May 23^rd.  This year’s theme is Revitalize, Reinvest, Renew.  These words signal a change in thinking and a new direction in practice.  Revitalizing our infrastructure means finding new ways to sustain performance, using new materials, increasing efficiency.  Reinvesting in our infrastructure will ensure safety, longevity, positive quality of life.  Renewing our infrastructure means replacing and reinvigorating the systems and structures on which we depend.  National Public Works Week is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide and maintain the infrastructure and service collectively known as public works.

The City of Dixon will be joining in this celebration in a number of ways including:

1)   A Public Works Update will be presented at the Dixon City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, May 18^th at 6:30 p.m. highlighting the public works departments in the City of Dixon and their accomplishments in the past year.

2)   Five days of articles highlighting Public Works in the City of Dixon will be shared on the City of Dixon’s official website www.discoverdixon.org:

3)   PAWS Prints, an 8-page newspaper created for students in grades K-5, will be shared to promote outreach and public awareness of public works to children in the City of Dixon.
