Did You Know It's National Engineers Week?

We're wrapping up National Engineers Week, which runs from Feb. 19 through Feb. 25. The week is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.

The City’s engineers are awesome, and we want to give them a big thanks for overseeing the design, construction and inspection of our various Public Works projects.
