STATEHOUSE (April 8, 2020) — Communities in Senate District 28 will receive more than $3.6 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Michael Crider (R-Greenfield).
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 it was put into place, the program has awarded more than $738 million in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 28, the following communities received grants:
“CCMG is a great financial resource for local municipal and county governments who strive each and every day to better our community,” Crider said. “I look forward to seeing the positive impact these grants will have in our community and I commend local leaders for their efforts to secure this funding.”
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 50,000 and cities and towns with populations fewer than 10,000 receive a 75%/25% match, while counties with populations of greater than 50,000 and cities and towns with populations of greater than 10,000 receive a 50%/50% match.
