STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 43 will receive over $7.5 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Randy Maxwell (R-Guilford).

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 43, the following communities received grants:

  • Aurora received $256,515;
  • Dupont received $28,517.23;
  • Hanover received $178,110;
  • Jennings County received $1.5 million;
  • Lawrenceburg received $1,113,695.25;
  • Madison received $1.5 million;
  • Ohio County received $1.5 million;
  • Scott County received $1,401,839.40; and
  • Vevay received $110,135.42.

"I appreciate the benefits that will come from the Community Crossings Matching Grants awarded in our community," Maxwell said. "I am looking forward to seeing the improvements made on our local infrastructure and the positive impact they will have in Senate District 43."

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.
