Johnson: Communities in Senate District 14 receive more than $1.4 million in road-funding grants
A full breakdown of the Community Crossings Awards can be found here.
STATEHOUSE (July 1, 2026) — Communities in Senate District 14 will receive more than $1.4 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Dr. Tyler Johnson (R-Leo).
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.
This additional round of awards is being issued following the passage of Senate Enrolled Act 179.
In Senate District 14, the following communities received grants:
"Strong roadways keep our communities moving, and this funding will help ensure our infrastructure remains reliable for years to come," Johnson said. "I applaud our local leaders for taking advantage of this opportunity to improve the safety and reliability of our road network and look forward to seeing the positive impact that will come from 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 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.
