Digital Services During COVID-19
The Department of Public Works provides essential services to the City of Green Bay, even during times of crisis or increased public health and safety precautions within our area. This page is designed in an effort to provide the same essential services to both residents and contractors during the COVID-19 situation, while limiting the amount of person-to-person contact. This is for the safety and well-being of both the community and City employees.
