Today we celebrate Franklin D. Roosevelt's birthday! As part of the New Deal of 1933, FDR established the Public Works Administration which was a large-scale public works construction agency in the United States in the Department of the Interior. It was created in an attempt to help the U.S.'s economy recover after the Great Depression. The Public Works Administration built large-scale public works such as dams, bridges, hospitals, and schools. Its goals were to spend $3.3 billion in the first year, and $6 billion in all, to supply employment, stabilize buying power, and help revive the economy. It created an infrastructure that generated national and local pride in the 1930s and is still vital nine decades later. Happy Birthday FDR!
