Taking care of our local roads is key to making sure our communities remain attractive places to grow businesses and create careers.”
The Community Crossings Initiative has provided more than $830 million in state matching funds for construction projects. In response to the uncertainty that has been caused by COVID-19, INDOT moved this call for projects, from July to September.
The money awarded is funded by the balance available in the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund at the end of the 2020 fiscal year as well as revenue collected so far in the 2021 fiscal year.
