Thirty-four municipalities and counties in Northwest and Central Indiana will get a piece of a $133.4 million boost from the state's Community Crossings matching grant program.
Gov. Eric Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation announced that 224 municipalities will receive matching funds for road projects through the grant program, which is part of the Next Level Roads program.
“The continued success of the Community Crossings program becomes more evident each year,” said Holcomb in a press release. “Improving transportation infrastructure at the most local level makes communities that much more attractive for business and Hoosier families alike to connect and grow.”
