Regarding a Civil Works Administration project in eastern Wyoming, Michael Cassity writes: "In Niobrara County, a local priority was to connect the new Highway 85 with the old Highway 85, "giving all the people of the north-east portion of the county a direct road into Lusk, thereby, keeping Lusk as the trading center of the county, in place of losing a great deal of trade to South Dakota and eastern Nebraska."

The Civil Works Administration (CWA) conducted improvement and repair work at the Niobrara County Courthouse in Lusk, Wyoming. Cassity: "In Lusk, the courthouse and library were both about a decade old, but had, during the hard times of the 1920s, fallen into disrepair, and the CWA brought to both much-needed renewal."

The Civil Works Administration (CWA) conducted road improvement work in Lusk, Wyoming, including on Pine Street.
