STATEHOUSE (Dec. 6, 2022) — Communities in Senate District 11 will receive more than $1.3 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Linda Rogers (R-Granger).
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 $1.1 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 11, Bristol received $495,173.43 and Mishawaka received $855,623.31.
"Ensuring Hoosiers have dependable travel networks is extremely important for businesses," Rogers said. "The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program helps strengthen our economy by providing funding to improve roads and bridges throughout Indiana, and I am pleased to see Bristol and Mishawaka receive these grants. I look forward to seeing the changes implemented in Senate District 11."
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 2023.
