STATEHOUSE (April 14, 2023) — Communities in Senate District 1 will receive more than $2.5 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Dan Dernulc (R-Highland).
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 $1.27 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 1, the following communities received grants:
"It is encouraging to see so many communities in Lake County take advantage of these grants to improve local infrastructure, including my own hometown," Dernulc said. "I would like to thank our local leaders for applying for these grants and I look forward to seeing the improvements these grants will have on our community."
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 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 2023.
