Poverty-stricken Americans living in the Tennessee River valley benefited from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which paid farmers not to grow certain crops. gave local residents subsidies for moving to the cities. built a series of dams to control floods and generate electricity. helped farmers plant new kinds of drought-resistant crops.
Built a seires of dams to control floods and generate electricity
7 states benifited from the Tennessee Valley Authority. It had the benifits of affordable electricity, flood control, navigation on the Tennesse rivers, and developments in agruicultural and indusrial things. The Public works administration sponsered this project. With the cheaper electricity generate by the dams, the area of the Tennessee Valley, had many jobs created. If you need anything else, I just did a report on this subject.
The 7 states are: Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Virginia. All these are locatedby the Tennessee Valley.
