STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 5 will receive nearly $3 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Ed Charbonneau (R-Valparaiso).
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 5, the following communities received grants:
"One of Indiana's most crucial needs is our road and bridge infrastructure," Charbonneau said. "Ensuring our travel networks are properly maintained is essential to creating a strong community for people to live, work and play. I am pleased to see our local communities receive funding to make necessary improvements."
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.
