Communities in Senate District 28 will receive more than $1.6 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Grant Program (CCMG).
Established by the Indiana General Assembly in 2016, the CCMG 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:
- Cumberland received $244,496.80
- Hancock County received $172,195
- New Palestine received $114,391.44
- Shelby County received $1 million
- Shirley received $117,440.80
“As chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation, I see how the CCMG program benefits communities throughout Indiana,” said State Senator Michael Crider (R-Greenfield) (photo). “I commend all of the local leaders who applied for this important program, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact these funds will have on our local infrastructure.”
Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation matches up to $1 million annually when localities invest in road and bridge repairs.
Counties with populations fewer than 55,000 and cities and towns with populations fewer than 10,000 receive an 80/20 match, while counties with populations greater than 55,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 10,000 receive a 50/50 match.
