Public Works Week In Billings To Celebrate Our Community

Announced to the media today by the City of Billings Public Works Project & Communications Coordinator Xiaoyi Wang, the Billings Public Works is hosting "Public Works Week" across the City of Billings.

What is Public Works Week?

It isn't ACTUALLY a whole week locally, however, it is celebrated nationally from May 20th through May 24th. Our local events are taking place across two days, May 22nd & May 23rd.

Families and community members are invited to step behind the scenes of the Billings Public Works Department to witness firsthand the "magic" that keeps Billings running smoothly.
