The major construction project resulting from the New Deal was the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), established in 1933. The TVA aimed to address issues such as flood control, electricity generation, and economic development in the Tennessee Valley region, which was severely affected by the Great Depression. This ambitious project involved the construction of dams and power plants, providing jobs, improving infrastructure, and making electricity more accessible to rural areas. It epitomized the New Deal's goal of revitalizing regions hit hard by economic downturns and laying the foundation for future government involvement in economic planning and public works.
