Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) undertook multiple projects in Livingston, New Jersey. “Among the local WPA projects are a sewing project for women, road building, the laying of water mains and the clearing of lands at the Civic Centre Park.” Living New Deal believes the park in question to be that encompassed by Robert H. Harp Drive.
