Description
Multiple New Deal agencies carried out improvement, development, and/or construction work at what was then Wrentham State School (now Wrentham Developmental Center).
Annual Report:
“Much valuable work has been done at the institution during the year through the
use of funds provided by the C.W.A., F.E.R.A. and P.W.A. Nine out of many
projects presented were approved at the beginning of the C.W.A. activities, and few
were completed …”
“The projects sponsored by the government on the P.W.A. program, namely the
addition to the laundry, which has been built but is not yet equipped, and the
fourth nursery building which will be completed this summer, are progressing
satisfactorily.”
