- VALLEY OF HOPE
-
- Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia
was begun in November 1934 under the administration of Franklin
D. Roosevelt and his New Deal plan. It was conceived as a pilot
community relief project to provide an escape from the effects
of the Great Depression. Situated on this land was the administration
building for the coordination of the Pine Mountain Valley Development
Project. Victims of the Great Depression were resettled here
in an effort to develop a sense of security, while providing
facilities to produce and opportunities to supplement their income
through agricultural and industrial activities.
