STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 25 will receive nearly $5.7 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Mike Gaskill (R-Pendleton).
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 25, the following communities received grants:
"Roads and bridges are essential to transportation within our local communities," Gaskill said. "The Community Crossings Grant Program allows our towns to improve infrastructure for Hoosiers and those traveling through our great state. I look forward to seeing communities utilize this funding to make our roadways safer and more efficient."
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.
