STATEHOUSE (April 10, 2024) — Allen County, Fort Wayne and New Haven will each receive $1.5 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Liz Brown (R-Fort Wayne).
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.
"The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program is a great way for communities to make necessary infrastructure improvements, which overall helps maintain a productive environment," Brown said. "It is great to see Allen County, Fort Wayne and New Haven take advantage of this program, and I look forward to seeing successful road improvements in these communities."
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.
