Transfer of District WPA Offices From Athens to Zanesville
The Southeastern Ohio District WPA headquarters will move from Athens to Zanesville in late month. The three story Fergus Building in Zanesville offers rent of one dollar for the first year, with subsequent years not exceeding 300 dollars monthly. The Athens site in the Violet Building employs about 150 staff and costs roughly 960 dollars monthly, a higher rate than the Zanesville bid. Alterations will be made to meet WPA needs before the occupancy date.
