Description

The federal Civil Works Administration (CWA) worked to develop what is now known as Connelly Blvd. in Sharon, Pennsylvania in 1934. Then known as Pine Hollow Blvd., work involved “cutting, draining, filling and paving of the boulevard route, from South Dock street to Smith avenue.” The project was described at the time of its proposal. Validation is preferred to confirm that project was undertaken, and possibly continued under FERA.
