Gov. Mike Braun, Secretary of Transportation and Infrastructure Matt Ubelhor and INDOT Commissioner Lyndsay Quist joined local officials from across northwest Indiana in Delphi to present awards for INDOT's Community Crossings Matching Grant program.
$100 million in state matching funds were announced for 191 Indiana cities, towns, and counties.
It's an amount that is diminishing.
Following changes outlined during the 2025 legislative session, the program cap is now set at $100 million per year, and the annual cap is reduced to $1 million per local unit of government per state fiscal year. An additional change is a reduced local match for smaller communities. Starting in FY 2027, a single call for projects will occur each July.
Communities submitted applications during a call for projects in October. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The program has provided more than $2 billion for local road improvement projects since its inception in 2016.
Area grants awarded in this cycle include:
Fulton County, $1,000,000
Pulaski County, $636,800
Cass County, $1,000,000
Akron, $856,192.40
Argos, $34,672
Denver, $110,949.60
