Description
During its brief life in the winter of 1933-34, the Civil Works Administration (CWA) hired unemployed workers to improve the streets of Pinedale, Wyoming, with drainage works and gravel surfaces.
According to Michael Cassity (2012) the work included: “streets of town graveled, streets drained, culverts replaced, ten new culverts built.”
