Lt. Gov. Crouch announces 12 communities to receive more than $8 million

Lawrenceburg, IN — Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced 12 rural Hoosier communities will receive more than $8 million in federal grant funding to improve water infrastructure. One city in Southeastern Indiana received funding this round.  

The City of Lawrenceburg was awarded $600,000 for flood drainage improvements. This project will rehabilitate storm drainage infrastructure in a high-flood prone area adjacent to Doughty Road. By replacing the sluice gate, backflow valve, and pump to the current systems and rehabilitating ditches in the area, it will prevent future flooding to the Doughty Road area.
