Description
The federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) worked to modernize Bordentown, New Jersey’s sewage disposal plant in 1936. The plant had “been in need of drastic changes for years[, but] the city ha[d] not been financially able to stand the cost.”
The exact location of the facility and its current status is unknown to Living New Deal.
