Dept. of Public Infrastructure’s Felix Fernandez wins New Bedford Way Award – New Bedford Guide

“Congratulations to New Bedford Way Award WinnerFelix Fernandez!

Fernandez has been with the City for more than 30 years, starting his career as a laborer of cemeteries and working his way to his current position as a Street & Sewer Construction Foreperson. He’s been on duty for every rain or snow event over the last three decades, and is known around the DPI building as the person who does whatever is asked of him. His supervisors describe him as a “great role model” and the “backbone of DPI.” Congrats Felix!

The New Bedford Way Awards shine a spotlight on City workers who go above and beyond for their City and its residents. They’re the smiling face you see at City Hall; the person behind the scenes who makes everything run smoothly, the person out in the heat fixing the road or landscaping one of our many parks; or the police officer, firefighter or other emergency worker who is dedicated to keeping New Bedford an amazing place to live, work, and raise a family.

The 2024 New Bedford Way Award winners, nominated by their supervisors, were recognized at a recent ceremony at Buttonwood Park, and we’ll continue to shine a light on them next week.”-City of New Bedford.
