Description
Cocasset Street in Foxboro, Massachusetts was reconstructed as part of a WPA project that began in March 1938. This included the widening and resurfacing of the thoroughfare. The widening forced the removal of trees; the replacement of lost trees was part of the approved project.
The final cost to pave approximately 4900 feet of road was reported at about $22,000, of which Federal funds contributed $14,558.
