The TVA was very successful. It covers most of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, small pieces of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. Under the leadership of David Lilienthal, TVA became a model for America's governmental efforts to seek assist in the modernization of agrarian societies in the developing world.

Was the TVA a responsible use of federal funding?

I believe that the government made a good decision funding the TVA. Even though it cost plenty of money, the TVA provided thousands of jobs for people. The TVA was established in 1933. The impact of this program was so strong, it still is in motion today.

Criticism

Many people believed that privately owned power companies were charging too much power, did not employ fair operating practices, and were subject to abuse by their owners at the expense of consumers. However, the TVA bill was passed in 1933.
