STATEHOUSE (Sept. 21, 2017) — Local communities will receive state matching grants to improve roads and bridges, according to State Rep. Doug Miller (R-Elkhart).
More than $150 million was awarded to Indiana cities, towns and counties through the Community Crossings grant program, which is now in its second year. The grants are available through the Indiana Department of Transportation as a result of legislation supported by Miller in 2016.
“Maintaining the integrity of our local infrastructure is key to growing our economy,” Miller said. “Strong roads and bridges help keep Hoosier motorists safe and economic development in our communities driving forward.”
Elkhart County will receive $344,000. In addition, various communities in Elkhart County will be awarded grants:
