STATEHOUSE (April 30, 2021) — Communities in Senate District 28 will receive nearly $2.6 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 $930 million in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 28, the following communities received grants:
"As chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation, I hear from Hoosiers across the state about our infrastructure, both positives and negatives," Crider said. "The Community Crossings Matching Grants are great financial resources for municipal governments who seek to advance local roadways. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will have on our district and thank area leaders for their efforts to procure 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.
