STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 43 will receive more than $6.8 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Randy Maxwell (R-Guilford).
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 $1.8 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 43, the following communities received grants:
"High-quality infrastructure is a vital part of our economy," Maxwell said. "By strengthening Indiana's road and bridge network, we can continue to be known as the ‘Crossroads of America.’ I am glad that local leaders in Senate District 43 have taken advantage of this opportunity and look forward to seeing it benefit local residents and visitors alike."
Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation matches up to $1.5 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 2025.
