STATEHOUSE (Oct. 28, 2026) — Communities in Senate District 37 will receive more than $4.3 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville).

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.

In Senate District 37, the following communities received grants:

• Bargersville received $198,809.60;
• Cloverdale received $384,828.86;
• Gosport received $362,108.80;
• Greenwood received $355,618.96;
• Johnson County received $337,036.46;
• Monrovia received $335,040;
• Mooresville received $523,355.20;
• Morgan County received $344,938.50;
• Morgantown received $208,254.80;
• Owen County received $593,368.38;
• Paragon received $156,149;
• Putnam County received $339,033.60; and
• Spencer received $161,728.40.

"Road and bridge repairs can be costly and a huge line item in our smaller communities' budgets," Bray said. "That’s why the Community Crossings Grant Program is such an excellent tool. I'm grateful to our local leaders who are taking advantage of opportunities like these so they can improve local infrastructure."

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.
