STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 14 will receive nearly $6.1 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Tyler Johnson (R-Leo).
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 14, the following communities received grants:
"Hoosiers need safe and reliable infrastructure to support their day-to-day life," Johnson said. "The Community Crossings Grant Program helps ensure our roads receive the improvements they need, and I look forward to seeing the great impact this funding will have in 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.
