STATEHOUSE (Oct. 28, 2026) — Communities in Senate District 16 will receive more than $1 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Justin Busch (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 more than $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 16, the following communities received grants:
"Safe and well-maintained roads should be a priority for communities across Indiana," Busch said. "I'm grateful to our local leaders for taking advantage of this funding opportunity and helping address our local infrastructure needs."
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.
