KUDOS FOR PUBLIC WORKS

Kudos to Nassau Bay Public Works member James Green, who received extra recognition from residents Annette and John Handley for all his hard work around the City! All of our employees work tirelessly day in and day out, and we always appreciate a nice gesture – such as this thank you card from the Handleys – recognizing their efforts. "James, every time we see you in Nassau Bay you are always working hard. You are so talented to be able to do all the different jobs that you do. We watched you take apart the old street light on our street by yourself using the lift on the back of your truck. We were very impressed at your talent. Thank you so much for taking care of our City. We appreciate you very much!" – Annette and John Handley
