Niemeyer: Communities in Senate District 6
receive nearly $7.7 million in road-funding grants
A full breakdown of the Community Crossings Awards can be found here.
STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 6 will receive nearly $7.7 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Rick Niemeyer (R-Lowell).
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 6, the following communities received grants:
"Farm equipment can cause roads to deteriorate quickly, so opportunities like this help us keep our roads in good shape," Niemeyer said. "I congratulate all of the communities in Senate District 6 who received funding through the CCMG Program."
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.
