 RESOLUTION

 Designating the week of May 18 through May 24, 2025, as ``National 
 Public Works Week''.

Whereas public works professionals work around the clock to ensure the vital 
 infrastructure, facilities, and services of communities to deliver 
 dependable, sustainable, and resilient human needs that include the 
 health, safety, and well-being of the people of the United States, while 
 advancing the quality of life for all;
Whereas public works infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be 
 provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals who 
 represent Federal, State, and local governments, and private sector 
 organizations throughout the United States;
Whereas public works professionals design, build, operate, and maintain the 
 transportation systems, water infrastructure, sewage and refuse disposal 
 systems, public buildings, sanitation and waste management systems, and 
 other structures and facilities that are vital to the people and 
 communities of the United States;
Whereas many public works professionals are first responders and are the first 
 to arrive and last to leave a natural disaster area or incident scene; 
 and
Whereas understanding the role that public infrastructure plays in protecting 
 the environment, improving public health and safety, contributing to 
 economic vitality, and enhancing the quality of life of every community 
 of the United States is in the interest of the people of the United 
 States: Now, therefore, be it
