Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program to provide economic development and provide power to underserved areas of the Tennessee Valley. The TVA constructed dams and power plants, as well as provided flood control and irrigation, in order to promote industrial growth and improve the quality of life in the region. The Missouri Valley Authority and Mississippi Valley Authority are not correct answers as they were not created during the Great Depression era. The Army Corps of Engineers played a role in the construction of some TVA projects, but it was not a government business created specifically for delivering power to underserved communities.
