STATEHOUSE (April 11, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 26 will receive more than $5.5 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Scott Alexander (R-Muncie).
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 $1.7 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 26, the following communities received grants:
"It's wonderful to see these communities receiving this infrastructure funding, especially in the wake of the damage caused by the recent tornadoes," Alexander said. "Our infrastructure will benefit greatly from the improvements made using these grants, and I congratulate all local recipients."
Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation matches up to $1.5 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 July of 2024.
