Rep. Genda Shares Update
| To support local road and bridge projects, Indiana’s Community Crossings Matching Grant Program awarded our communities over $4 million in state funding. Community Crossings 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. 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. | |
Area grant recipients include: Boone County, $426,507; Clinton County, $1.5 million; Colfax, $97,338 Frankfort, $449,068; Montgomery County, $1.5 million; and Ulen, $68,718. To qualify for funding, smaller municipalities must provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while larger communities must provide a 50 percent match. Since 2016, Community Crossings has awarded more than $2 billion to improve local roads and bridges. Rep. Mark Genda represents House District 41 which includes portions of Montgomery, Clinton, Boone and Tippecanoe counties. | |
