STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2025) – Indiana's Community Crossings Matching Grant Program awarded Martinsville $482,005 in state funding for local road and bridge projects, according to State Reps. Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville) and Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville).
The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides local communities funding for road reconstruction, bridge preservation, intersection improvements and other projects. This year, 245 Indiana communities will receive more than $200 million in state matching grants.
"Infrastructure investment is one of the best ways we can support our communities and prepare for future growth," Haggard said. "These grants will help make our local roadways safer and more efficient for all Hoosiers who live, work and travel our area."
Indiana was recently ranked as the best state in the nation for overall road conditions by Consumer Affairs, noting our low rate of traffic fatalities and quality of roads.
Mayfield said to qualify for funding, smaller municipalities must provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while larger communities must provide a 50 percent match. The state requires 50 percent of available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or less. Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $2 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
"Road maintenance and improvements are a key part of ensuring our communities remain safe and accessible," Mayfield said. "This funding will allow our local governments to tackle important projects that improve daily travel and encourage economic development."
