City of Oak Harbor Celebrates Public Works Week

The City of Oak Harbor is celebrating National Public Works Week, honoring the vital contributions of public works professionals. The city invites residents to a “Community Catch Up” event on May 22, providing an opportunity to meet experts from departments such as streets, water, and solid waste. Mayor Wright emphasized the importance of public works, noting that these teams ensure safe roads and clean water for the community. This initiative aims to foster a deeper understanding of the infrastructure that sustains daily life in Oak Harbor. Attendees can engage with staff, gain insights into ongoing projects, and learn about the challenges faced by public works.
