STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) — Communities in Senate District 11 will receive nearly $7 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Linda Rogers (R-Granger).
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 11, the following communities received grants:
"Strong transportation networks are essential for those who live, work and travel through our state," Rogers said. "I am pleased to see several of our communities receiving funding from the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, and I commend our local leaders for taking advantage of this excellent 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.
