STATEHOUSE (Nov. 3, 2023) — Communities in Senate District 14 will receive nearly $6 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. 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 nearly $1.5 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 14, the following communities received grants:"Our roads and bridges are a critical part of Indiana's infrastructure, and our community relies on them daily," Johnson said. "This funding will help ensure that these transportation networks are safe and strong for everyday use. I commend our local leaders for taking advantage of this opportunity and making a commitment to improving 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 January of 2024.
