Celebrate National Public Works Week with Centennial!

Join us at Touch-a-Truck, Wednesday, May 21 at Smoky Hill Library

It’s time to roll out the big trucks and celebrate the people who keep our City running! Centennial is joining communities across the country in recognizing National Public Works Week, May 19–25. This year’s theme, “People, Purpose, Presence,” honors the heart, mission, and daily impact of public works professionals everywhere.

To mark the occasion, we’re bringing back Touch-a-Truck—a crowd favorite for kids and kids at heart! Join us Wednesday, May 21 from 9–11 a.m. at Smoky Hill Library (5430 S. Biscay Cir.) for a hands-on morning with all kinds of public works vehicles. Climb aboard, honk a horn, and meet the people behind the machinery that keeps Centennial moving. This free event is presented in partnership with Arapahoe Libraries and the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority (SEMSWA).

National Public Works Week is also a time to give a big shout-out to the dedicated professionals and partners who keep our infrastructure safe, clean, and resilient. From road repairs to drainage management and everything in between, Centennial teams up with industry leaders like Jacobs Engineering and SEMSWA to provide top-tier service and 24/7 resident support.
