STATEHOUSE (Nov. 3, 2023) — Communities in Senate District 7 will receive nearly $2.3 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Brian Buchanan (R-Lebanon).
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.
In Senate District 7, the following communities received grants:
"Hoosiers throughout the state use our roadways every day to get to work, school and run errands," Buchanan said. "Maintaining our local roads and bridges not only keeps motorists safe, but also encourages economic growth. I thank our local leaders for their efforts in obtaining these grants."
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.
