(Below) The City of Nampa Public Works departments have been busy sharing about the many things they do for our community with the next generation. Last Friday they attended a "Touch A Truck" event at Reagan Elementary. This week, over 100 students from Centennial and Greenhurst Elementary Schools visited the City of Nampa to hear directly from staff and explore up-close some of the tools used by our professionals in their daily jobs. We hope we instilled a new understanding and interest in the variety of professions available within the City of Nampa.

Thank you to our Public Works staff for always going above and beyond for our community - we appreciate you!
