STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 26 will receive nearly $2 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Scott Alexander (R-Muncie).
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 $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 26, the following communities received grants:
"The Community Crossings Grant Program consistently helps improve travel for those who live here and for those visiting," Alexander said. "With Indiana being the Crossroads of America, it is important to have quality infrastructure that is safe and efficient. I look forward to seeing the improvements made in our community with these grants."
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.
