Description
An August 25, 1939 article in the Bartlett Tribune and News reported on the latest round of PWA funding:
“The first project to get under construction in [‘Region 5’, as part of a new round of funded projects] was at Monument, Colorado, on August 3, 1939. The project, calling for $1,300 worth of school improvements, was one of the nation’s smallest and also the first of [this round of] PWA projects to be completed in the United States.”
