Public works projects are construction and engineering projects that are carried out by the state for the community. Some of the most popular public works projects took place during the Great Depression. The purpose of these projects was the re-stimulate the economy and to give people jobs. The New Deal project had many different construction type projects. They included building streets and highways, school buildings, canals, bridges, sewage systems, housing areas and hospitals. Some of the public works projects that would be beneficial to our society would include building roads and highways. Probably improving the roads more than actually building new highways. I know recently there have been many different road and highway projects and there have also been different schools being built.
