several-area-towns-counties-receive-community-crossings-matching-grants
Governor Eric J. Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced cities, towns, and counties receiving portions of the $91.5 million awarded through the Community Crossings matching grant program, a component of Governor Holcomb's Next Level Roads program.
"Community Crossings continues to provide opportunities for Indiana local communities, large and small, to make connectivity and safety road improvements for Hoosier families and our visitors," Gov. Holcomb said. "The importance of this matching grant program is immediately obvious as we take our award-winning statewide infrastructure network to the next level."
Among area communities receiving funding:
Shelby County, $1,000,000.00
Shelbyville, $343,258.58
Edinburgh, $1,000,000.00
Greensburg, $317,909.50
Hancock County, $544,305.00
Hope, $103,075.23
Rush County, $649,998.00
Communities submitted applications for funding during a highly competitive call for projects in July. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The Community Crossings initiative has provided nearly $1.5 billion in state matching funds for local road improvement projects since 2016.
"It's encouraging to see continued dedication and commitment to transportation infrastructure at the local level," INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith said. "Seeing the completed projects from this program is a reward in itself and a win for the state."
State legislators identified long-term funding for Community Crossings as part of House Enrolled Act 1002, passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Holcomb in April 2017.
188 communities received matching funds in the 2023 fall call for projects.
The next call for projects will open in January.
