STATEHOUSE (June 30, 2026) — Two communities in Senate District 26 will receive more than $1.6 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Scott Alexander (R-Muncie).
Delaware County received $853,248.22 and Winchester received $785,692.95.
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 more than $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
This additional round of awards is being issued following the passage of Senate Enrolled Act 179.
"I am always happy to see our communities take advantage of the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program to help improve local infrastructure," Alexander said. "These funds will be essential in ensuring our roads and bridges remain safe and up to date to make travel smoother for Hoosiers and those passing through."
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 55,000 and cities and towns with populations fewer than 12,500 receive an 80%/20% match, while counties with populations greater than 55,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 12,500 receive a 50%/50% match.
