STATEHOUSE (Nov. 6, 2023) – State funding totaling more than $367,000 is in route to Martin County to help make local infrastructure improvements, according to State Rep. Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper).
Funding is available through Indiana's Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, which can be used for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements and other items. In total, over 180 towns, cities and counties will receive more than $91 million in state matching grants.
"The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program helps us take care of our infrastructure needs now and in the future," Lindauer said. "Ongoing road maintenance is a matter of safety, and strong infrastructure helps attract new opportunities to our growing communities."
To qualify for the competitive grant, smaller municipalities provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while larger communities provide a 50 percent match. State law requires 50 percent of the available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer. Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $1.2 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
