FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Public Works’ Facilities and Equipment To Be Showcased
at Special Open House Event
Edina, Minn., April 18, 2016 – They plow and maintain our roads. They keep us safe and comfortable. In
short, they keep our city running smoothly. They are the men and women of Edina’s Public Works
Department, and they would like to meet you!
Join the Public Works team from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, to learn exactly what it takes to keep
Edina orderly and functional. Public Works employees will be on hand to educate and answer questions. The
public is encouraged to tour the facilities, try out some tools, eat some tasty snacks – and, of course, have a
blast while checking out the fire truck, Bear Cat, tractor, bucket truck, cam truck, miller, roller, sprayer or
any of the other vehicles and attractions – like the brine system, sign maker and GPS/survey equipment. The
event is suited for all ages.
“We’re really excited for this year’s Public Works Open House. It’s a fun family outing and a great interactive
opportunity for kids to get up close and personal with a lot of cool and unique tools and equipment,” said
David Goergen, Public Works Coordinator. “I think the wide range of services that our department provides
surprises not only the kids but the adults as well.”
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event, to be held rain or shine.
The Public Works & Park Maintenance Facility is located at 7450 Metro Blvd. For more information, call
Public Works at 952-826-0376, or visit EdinaMN.gov/PublicWorks.
