STATEHOUSE (Nov. 7, 2024) – West Baden Springs will soon be on the move with more road and bridge projects with the help of $600,000 in recently released state funding, according to State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford).
Funding is available through Indiana's Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, which can be used for road reconstruction, bridge preservation, intersection improvements and other projects. A total of 223 communities across the state will receive more than $139 million in state matching grants.
"The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program benefits our smaller communities by helping to pay for important road and bridge maintenance," May said. "Keeping up with our infrastructure needs are a key way to support Hoosiers and local businesses."
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 $1.8 billion to improve local roads and bridges.
