STATEHOUSE (Nov. 3, 2023) — Tippecanoe County will receive $601,857 to improve local infrastructure through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Ron Alting (R-Lafayette).
The CCMG, established by the Indiana General Assembly in 2016, aims to advance community infrastructure projects, strengthen local transportation networks and improve Indiana’s roads and bridges. Since its enactment, the program has awarded nearly $1.5 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
"Well-maintained infrastructure is truly the backbone of any flourishing community," Alting said. "Sound roads and bridges ensure residents are able to go about their lives and conduct business in a safe and efficient manner, and I commend our local leaders for securing this grant funding."
Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation matches up to $1 million annually when localities invest in road and bridge repairs. Counties with populations fewer than 50,000 and cities and towns with populations fewer than 10,000 receive a 75%/25% match, while counties with populations greater than 50,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 10,000 receive a 50%/50% match.
The CCMG offers two rounds of applications each year, with the next call for applications occurring in January of 2024.
