BY: Senator RIVERA

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May  16-22,  2021, as Public Works Week in the State
        of New York

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of  this  Legislative  Body  to  recognize
official weeks that are set aside to appreciate the knowledge and skills
public  works  professionals  bring  for  the betterment of the lives of
citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim  May  16-22,  2021,  as
Public  Works  Week  in  the  State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Public Works Week; and

  WHEREAS, Every year National  Public  Works  Week  gets  bigger  and
better;  the  number  of participating municipalities continues to grow,
which means the number of citizens who  are  exposed  to  the  value  of
public works grows; and

  WHEREAS,  One  of  the  main  goals is to educate the general public
about the value and necessities  of  public  works  projects  throughout
North America; and

  WHEREAS,  From providing clean water to disposing of solid waste, to
building roads  and  bridges  or  planning  for  and  implementing  mass
transit,  to  removing snow on roadways or devising emergency management
strategies to meet natural or manmade disasters, public  works  services
determine a society's quality of life; and

  WHEREAS,  New  York  State, and the entire Nation salutes and thanks
the tens of thousands of public work professionals who  diligently  work
every day to improve the quality of life for the residents of this great
Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim  May  16-22,  2021,  as
Public Works Week in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
