INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Over 200 Indiana cities, towns, and counties have received a combined $119.4 million in state matching funds for local road projects since this summer.
The money was made available through Community Crossings, a component of Governor Holcomb’s Next Level Roads program.
Funding comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The Community Crossings initiative has provided more than $1 billion in state-matching funds for local construction projects since 2016.
To qualify for funding, local governments must provide local matching funds of 50% for larger communities or 25% for smaller communities and have an asset management plan for maintaining existing roads and bridges. State law requires annually that 50% of the available matching funds be awarded to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer.
