Governor Eric Holcomb and INDOT Commissioner Mike Smith awarded $107.8 million in Community Crossings Matching Grant funds to 224 Indiana cities, towns and counties Tuesday morning.
The Community Crossings initiative has provided more than $1 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects since 2016. To qualify for funding, local governments must provide local matching funds of 50 percent for larger communities or 25 percent for smaller communities and have an asset management plan for maintaining existing roads and bridges.
Marshall County is the recipient of $1 million. The county’s projects include Tamarack from State Road 6 to County Line, Pear from 14B to 18B, and 15th from State Road 17 to Thorn.
The Town of Culver was awarded $177,735.77. The projects awarded funding include Jefferson Street from State Road 17 to Slate Street, Baker Street from Wall Street to Lakeshore Drive, Wall Street from Baker Street to Academy Road, Pearl Street from State Street to Forest Place, Lewis Street from Plymouth Street to Lakeview Street, Slate Street from Madison Street to Mill Street, and South Street from Wabash to West Shore.
The next call for projects will open in July 2022.
