Beverly Hills To Participate In Nationwide Infrastructure Week

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Beverly Hills announced its participation Monday in the national advocacy and educational event called Infrastructure Week, which will take place from May 14-21. Businesses, local governments, and elected officials nationwide will spread the message about why its time to build.

The City of Beverly Hills will be spreading the word at the annual Public Works Day event on Sunday, May 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Farmers’ Market, located at 9300 block of Civic Center Drive, along with informative social media posts throughout the week.

“Solid infrastructure is the backbone of any city. The Department of Public Works is committed to providing quality public works services for the City of Beverly Hills,” Mayor Julian A. Gold said in a statement. “Whether in civil engineering, street maintenance, urban forestry, parking services, solid waste disposal or water utility, Public Works is committed to ensuring a positive and seamless infrastructure experience for the residents, businesses and visitors of Beverly Hills.”

The Director of Infrastructure Week, Zach Schafer, said that he was thrilled the city was joining Infrastructure Week. The "dire state" of America's infrastructure is one of the most pressing issues facing our country, and the benefits of stronger, better infrastructure will be long-lasting, he said.

"During Infrastructure Week, we bring together the public and private sector to encourage lawmakers to highlight innovation and leadership, think long-term, and invest in infrastructure at the federal, state and local level,” Schafer said.
