new deal

the Work Projects Administration (wpa) was the 

largest new deal agency. created by a presidential 

order by fdr, funded by congress, and bogged down in the 

senate (starting to sound familiar), the program was 

responsible for a lot of projects and employment (roads,

public buildings, media and literacy, redistributing 

food, clothing, housing). almost every community in 

america has a park, bridge or school constructed by

the agency. a sidewalk in the willo district of phoenix 

has the wpa stamp.
