Description
Sayville’s Suffolk County News reported in 1936 that the WPA had allocated $20,248.50 for “landscaping the Copiague school grounds and laying out a baseball diamond, tennis and badminton courts, at a cost of $20,248.50.”
Living New Deal believes the school in question to be what is now known as the Great Neck Road Elementary School.
