S.Res. 750
This resolution, introduced by Senator Capito along with several bipartisan cosponsors, formally recognizes "National Public Works Week," observed May 17 through May 23, 2026, under the theme "Rooted in Service. Powered by Community." It honors public works professionals who build and maintain essential infrastructure such as roads, water and wastewater systems, stormwater management, solid waste services, and public facilities. The resolution also highlights their critical role in emergency response and disaster recovery, including clearing debris and restoring community access after crises. It commends these workers for their contributions to public health, safety, and economic growth, and encourages greater public awareness of the importance of infrastructure and the workforce that sustains it. As a simple resolution, it carries symbolic weight rather than legal or funding authority, and does not create new programs or allocate money.
