WI: More Tennessee Valley Authority-like federally owned corporations in the US

What if more regionally-focused, federally owned corporations like the Tennessee Valley Authority had been established? Probably during FDR's administration and the New Deal, although not necessarily limited to that time period.
 
General Motors was not quite what the OP seems to be specifying, but close. Not sure if Freddie Mae or Fanny the Mae Postal Service or the FICA organization fit either

One of the casualties of the rise of the "conservative coalition" in Congress in 1937-8 (in the wake of the court-packing bill, the "Roosevelt recession," etc.) was FDR and George Norris' plan for "seven little TVA's." https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.2307/2126212
 
That's kinda what Germany does (Ländern owning much of a society, the rest being owned by a family) so you can see how their economy is integrating it.

So if things pick up more in the 30s and Roosevelt holds his horses on court-packing, we might get more of these? And maybe if they work on a massive scale, we get lots more.
