Today, Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced more than $57.8 million in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant Program for four transportation infrastructure projects across Indiana.
The funding will support projects in Fort Wayne, Jeffersonville, Noblesville, and Whiting, improving roads, bridges, freight infrastructure, and transportation safety while supporting economic growth across the state. Senator Young wrote letters of support for each of the projects.
“These investments will strengthen Indiana’s infrastructure, improve safety, support commerce and help communities prepare for future growth,” said Senator Young. “From modernizing critical bridges and freight facilities to improving major transportation corridors, these projects will benefit Hoosiers for decades to come while keeping Indiana’s transportation network strong and our economy growing. I appreciate Secretary Duffy’s partnership in helping make these investments possible.”
