I had the privilege of meeting with Samson’s Strength Sustainable Veterans Project and learning about their mission of working with Veterans. Witnessing their commitment to making a positive impact on the men and women who have served our nation is truly inspiring. Arcosa will play a role in establishing a hydroponics system to cultivate vegetables and herbs. This hydroponic system will enhance the community’s self-sufficiency and provide a sustainable produce source for local restaurants.

People, Purpose, Presence. That not only describes the theme of the #NPWW2025 poster but encapsulates the qualities that public works professionals bring to their jobs every day. Communities may not take much notice of the dedication of public works professionals because they quietly do their jobs without fanfare. Yet, public works is always there, working behind the scenes to advance quality of life for all. Get your poster today: https://lnkd.in/giXx5Z8D
