Simsbury Offers Sneak Peek At Public Works Department

SIMSBURY, CT — One of a municipality's biggest responsibilities is to make sure the town's roads are well maintained and safe, among other jobs in town.

Saturday, the Town of Simsbury is hosting an open house that will give folks a sneak peak into how the Simsbury Department of Public Works does its job.

The open house will take place at DPW headquarters at 66 Town Forest Road, West Simsbury, from 9 a.m. to noon. The event is free and is rain or shine.

In celebration of National Public Works Week, the open house will feature an up-close look at the town's trucks, something especially popular for children and families.

But there's more.

The DPW will have giveaways and guided tours of the facility and participants are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to "fill-a-truck" for local social service agencies.

This event is co-sponsored by the Simsbury Public Library and Simsbury Public Works Department.
