STATEHOUSE (Dec. 9, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 18 will receive more than $4.1 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Stacey A. Donato.

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 18, the following communities received grants:

• Akron received $856,192.40;
• Cass County received $1 million;
• Claypool received $79,237.49;
• Denver received $110,949.60;
• Fulton County received $1 million;
• Greentown received $835,610.24; and
• Mentone received $262,005.36.

"This grant is a great way to keep our infrastructure maintained for Hoosiers and for those visiting our state," Donato said. "I look forward to the improvements this funding will help provide to these communities."

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 10,000 receive an 80%/20% match, while counties with populations greater than 55,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 10,000 receive a 50%/50% match.
