Communities in Senate District 43 will receive nearly $4.2 million to improve roads and bridges through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program.
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 43, the following communities received grants:
- Austin received $223,611.76;
- Hanover received $263,320.80;
- Jefferson County received $350,016;
- Jennings County received $581,509.95;
- Lawrenceburg received $325,012.80;
- Madison received $325,462;
- Ohio County received $362,182.48;
- Patriot received $327,136;
- Rising Sun received $165,166.80;
- Scott County received $536,000;
- Scottsburg received $123,912.80;
- Switzerland County received $352,920.08; and
- Vevay received $226,467.20.
With much of Senate District 43 being rural, heavy farm equipment can deteriorate roads faster, which is why this funding is incredibly important to ensure our roads and bridges are well-maintained. I want to thank all of these communities for taking the initiative to apply for these grants, and I look forward to the improvements this funding will bring.
