Scope and Content Note

The series contains records gathered by the committee in planning programs to foster economic expansion in the state after World War II. The records contain very little information, however, on programs that resulted from the committee's activity.

The records contain primarily information from federal agencies, other states, and private industry and agencies. Records include correspondence, reports, and printed bulletins, pamphlets and journal articles on topics such as veteran's employment, training, public works programs, agricultural development, and expansion in the construction and manufacturing industries. Included is material relating to national organizations such as the National Resources Planning Board, Committee for Economic Development, and Council of State Governments.
