Recognizing "National Public Works Week" and the essential contributions of public works professionals.

Public works professionals would be recognized and commended for protecting public health, safety, and quality of life. The resolution would describe their roles in planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, bridges, drinking water and wastewater systems, stormwater and solid waste management, and public facilities, note their critical role in emergency response, highlight workforce shortages and the need to recruit and train the next generation, encourage public awareness of infrastructure investment and resilience, affirm strong Federal, State, and local partnerships, and note National Public Works Week (May 17–23, 2026) with the theme Rooted in Service.
