Presentations from the 12th Annual Public Works Roundup

Since the dawn of time humankind has engaged in various public works activities. From Roman aqueducts to DFW Airport, the history of public works is the history of humankind. All communities, regardless of scale, share common needs such as managing and maintaining water systems, roads, rights of way, floodplains and finding the funding to sustain infrastructure.
