STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 19 will receive nearly $6.8 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle).
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 19, the following communities received grants:
"Indiana is known as the crossroads of America, and it is important we have a strong transportation system to support this travel," Holdman said. "I am pleased to see our community leaders taking advantage of the Community Crossings Grant Program to help improve our local roads and bridges for all Hoosiers and visitors."
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.
