Public Works Board – Technical Assistance, Training and Resources

Technical Assistance from Tech Teams

Does your community have an infrastructure improvement project that needs to happen, but you aren’t sure how to proceed? Tech team meetings are a resource to get you headed in the right direction. A tech team meeting is a get-together between community representatives and program staff. The goal is to collaborate and solve infrastructure problems. Depending on your community’s current needs, various opportunities will be available. Tech Teams assist with:

  • Understanding and prioritizing your overall infrastructure needs.
  • Developing specific infrastructure projects.
  • Developing funding strategies for specific infrastructure projects.

With COVID-19 prohibiting public meetings, the Public Works Board had to cancel their in-person regional training events this year. Instead, the Board and its partner agencies offered a series of three training webinars. If you were unable to attend, or just want to revisit the presentations, the recorded sessions are available.
