Communities in Senate District 28 will receive nearly $6 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program (CCMG), said State Sen. Michael Crider (R-Greenfield).
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 28, the following communities received grants:
Shelby County, $1,298,020.96
Cumberland, $559,480.10
Greenfield, $1,026,516.05
Hancock County, $1,096,665
New Palestine, $238,330.87
Spring Lake, $249,857.25
"Having a strong transportation network is essential for supporting Hoosiers all across Indiana," Crider said. "As the chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation, it's great to know that so many local communities are capitalizing on this grant opportunity, and I eagerly anticipate the improvements."
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.
