STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — The city of Terre Haute will receive $1.5 million to improve local infrastructure through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Greg Goode (R-Terre Haute).
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.
"As the center of economic opportunity in the Wabash Valley, Terre Haute works hard to attract businesses and families to the area," Goode said. "This funding will ensure roads and bridges in the city are well maintained, and I commend local leaders for applying for this program and looking for ways to improve our community."
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.
