STATEHOUSE (April 17, 2023) – Wabash County communities are set to receive over $854,000 to complete much-needed road projects, according to State Rep. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw).
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, 224 towns, cities and counties will receive over $133.4 million in state matching grants.
"The Community Crossings Matching Grants are an incredible tool for locals to use to maximize their dollars and invest in much-needed road improvements," Snow said. "Our roads and bridges need to be safe and functioning, especially as local communities work to attract more residents and businesses."
Area grant recipients include:
To qualify for the competitive grant, smaller municipalities provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while large 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 $1.27 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
A list of all communities receiving matching funds in the latest round is available here. Visit in.gov/indot/communitycrossings to learn more about the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program and the next call for projects opening in July.
