Oldenburg, In. — The Indiana General Assembly passed legislation in 2016 to create a program to help cities, counties and towns across our state improve their roads and bridges – the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program.
Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation matches up to $1 million when localities invest in road and bridge repairs. Counties with populations below 50,000 and cities and towns with populations below 10,000 receive a 75/25 percent match, while counties with populations greater than 50,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 10,000 receive a 50/50 percent match.
Monetary awards are based on need, traffic volume, local support and regional economic significance.
Since 2016, the program has awarded Indiana communities across the state with $300 million to enhance roads and bridges.
I encourage community leaders in Senate District 42 to learn more about this program and take advantage of the support it provides.
Applications can be submitted beginning Monday, Aug. 6. The submission deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28.
