Yup. And these young guys were often found to be seriously starving when they got into the program. They got food, clothing, tents/cabins, and a bit of education out of it.

Many roads in Ohio were built by the CCC and WPA. And they did a hell of a job at it too. Those state highways are still in great shape today with very few holes, bumps, sink spots etc.

I just did a quick search for CCC and WPA projects in Ohio…I didn’t realize how extensive these projects were. Many parks, public buildings, college and other public stadiums, etc.

Yep. We need something like this again in this country. It would be a way to get our infrastructure back in line.
