Abstract:

Miscellaneous records concerning the development of Greendale, Wisconsin, one of three Greenbelt towns constructed by the U.S. Resettlement Administration. It includes a file from the U.S. Farm Security Administration pertaining to the selection of tenants and the application procedures and requirements. The Home Purchase Committee records document a 1949 attempt by some Greendale residents to purchase their homes from the federal government to prevent speculation on the property. The series also contains annual reports by the village board of trustees (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964-65); and capital improvement plans (1938-1967) regarding education, utilities, and community infrastructure.
