STATEHOUSE (Dec. 7, 2022) — Communities in Senate District 49 will receive more than $2.1 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville).
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 49, the following communities received grants:
"It is always great to see local officials take advantage of the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program," Tomes said. "Congratulations to Evansville, Mount Vernon and Vanderburgh County on receiving grants. I look forward to how this funding will be used to strengthen the infrastructure in our communities."
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.
