STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) — Communities in Senate District 42 will receive nearly $6.4 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg).
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.
In Senate District 42, the following communities received grants:
"Improving local infrastructure is an important part of keeping our regional economy strong," Leising said. "Farmers, business owners and many others will benefit from this boon to our transportation network. I applaud local leaders in Senate District 42 who have taken advantage of this opportunity."
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.
