STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 18 will receive more than $7.2 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Stacey Donato (R-Logansport).
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 18, the following communities received grants:
"The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides funding to help improve travel for Hoosiers and visitors to our great state," Donato said. "I am glad to see our community leaders taking advantage of this program so we can ensure our local infrastructure is maintained."
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.
