In honor of National Public Works Week 2021, the City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works, Office of Community Beautification and Keep Los Angeles Beautiful proudly present the 3rd Annual Virtual Beautification Conference! This year’s Public Works Week theme “Stronger Together” captures our core belief that by working together and forming strategic partnerships we can beautify and improve the quality of life for all Angelenos.
