D. Public Works Administration (PWA)

The Public Works Administration was a government agency established in 1933, during the First New Deal which comprised the first two years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's term: 1933-1934.

The agency sought to reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and improve public welfare through the construction of highways and public buildings. It budgeted about $4 billion for the construction of more than 70% of America's educational buildings; 65% of its new courthouses, city halls, and sewage-disposal plants; 35% of its new public-health facilities; and 10% of all new roads, bridges, and subways.
