STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 47 will receive nearly $2.05 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Gary Byrne (R-Byrneville).
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 $1.8 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
In Senate District 47, the following communities received grants:
· Corydon received $176,874.64;
· Floyd County received $605,857.62;
· New Albany received $735,090.38;
· New Pekin received $173,429.44; and
· Salem received $356,226.75.
"Ensuring our infrastructure system remains well-maintained is one of the most important jobs of government," Byrne said. " I applaud local leaders in Senate District 47 who have taken advantage of this excellent opportunity to support the economic growth of our state as well as making our community a better place to live and work for local residents."
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.
The CCMG offers two rounds of applications each year, with the next call for applications occurring in January of 2025.
