STATEHOUSE (Oct. 28, 2026) — Lafayette will receive $607,650 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 $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
"Having good roads and bridges is vital for our state's economic development," Alting said. "With Lafayette's location between Indianapolis and Chicago, I believe ensuring our infrastructure is well-maintained is important, and I'd like to commend local leaders for finding ways to make the necessary improvements for our community."
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.
