STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 16 will receive more than $5.7 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Justin Busch (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 16, the following communities received grants:
"The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program helps improve the roads Hoosiers and visitors rely on when traveling through our great state," Busch said. "Our community will benefit greatly from these grants. I look forward to seeing the infrastructure improvements and the positive impact that will come from this funding."
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.
