STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 22 will receive more than $2.1 million to improve roads and bridges 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 more than $1.8 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 22, the following communities received grants:
"As the Crossroads of America, Indiana knows the important role quality roads and bridges play in maintaining a strong economy," Alting said. "The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program is a great tool for local governments across the state, and I commend the leaders in Dayton and Carroll and Tippecanoe counties for applying for this funding."
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 January of 2025.
