City of Oak Harbor Celebrates Public Works Week
Oak Harbor – May 19, 2025—This week, the City of Oak Harbor proudly celebrates National Public Works Week, honoring our public works professionals. This year’s theme is “People, Purpose, Presence,” which represents the core values that our staff shows in Oak Harbor.
Our public works staff builds, maintains, and improves the infrastructure that keeps Oak Harbor running smoothly. Their behind the scenes dedication and efforts go unnoticed, so join us in celebrating our staff this week!
The City is hosting a special “Community Catch Up” event open to all and get an up-close look at the big trucks, learn how our city operates, and hear the latest construction updates directly from the source. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to keep our community running smoothly, here’s your chance to find out. This Thursday (May 22), you can meet and talk with experts from engineering, streets, water, wastewater, solid waste, and more.
This is your opportunity to CATCH UP with public works, ask questions, and leave with a better understanding of the essential work happening every day.
Community Catch Up with Public Works
Thursday, May 22

“Public works may not always be visible, but it is a very important job in our city,” said Mayor Wright. “Our teams are out there every day making sure roads are safe, water is clean, and neighborhoods are supported. We hope to see you all on Thursday.”
