The Mission

History of Facilities
The history of the DPW Facilities Department is still being fully defined, but available records reflect a clear pattern of organizational growth. Established as Sanitation in support of the original Health Center in 1977, the department expanded in alignment with the Nation’s evolving needs. In 2022, the Custodial Department was brought under Facilities, and in 2023 it assumed direct responsibility for Waste Management-marking continued refinement of DPW’s operational structure.
