STATEHOUSE (Nov. 3, 2023) — Communities in Senate District 43 will receive nearly $4 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 nearly $1.5 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 43, the following communities received grants:"With six counties along the Ohio and Kentucky border, Senate District 43 is subjected to heavy Hoosier, tourist and commercial travel all year round," Maxwell said. "This is why I am pleased to see our community leaders secure this necessary funding to improve our roads and make commuting through our communities safer."
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.
