FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Climb into Big Trucks at Public Works Open House
Edina, Minn., May 1, 2018 – 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 19, to learn exactly what it takes to keep
Edina orderly and functional. Public Works employees will open the doors of the Public Works & Park
Maintenance Facility to educate and answer questions. The public is encouraged to tour the facility, handle
some tools, eat some tasty snacks – and, of course, get behind the wheel of a fire truck, Bear Cat, tractor,
bucket truck, cam truck, miller, roller, sprayer or any of the 20 pieces of equipment on display. The event is
suited for all ages.
“We’re really excited for this year’s Public Works Open House. It’s going to be a fun family outing,” said
David Goergen, Public Works Coordinator. “This is really an interactive event. We really want people to
understand what we do.”
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.
