STATEHOUSE (April 10, 2024) – Fulton County and local communities can roll forward with road and bridge projects thanks to a recent boost in state funding supported by State Rep. Jack Jordan (R-Bremen).
A total of 252 communities across the state will receive over $207 million through Indiana's Community Crossings Matching Grant Program. Funds can be used for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements and other items.
"Safe and reliable roadways and bridges are critically important for residents, businesses and visitors alike," Jordan said. "When we invest in our local infrastructure, we are investing in our future. It's great to see our area be a direct beneficiary of these grants and I look forward to seeing the results."
Area grant recipients include Akron ($447,463), Fulton County ($1.5 million) and Rochester ($329,497).
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 $1.6 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
