STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 15 will receive more than $4.1 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Liz Brown (R-Fort Wayne).
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 15, the following communities received grants:
"The funding from the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program helps ensure necessary improvements will be made to the roads and bridges we use every day," Brown said. "I commend our local leaders for taking advantage of this opportunity so the transportation system in our community remains sustainable for all Hoosiers and visitors."
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.
