Indiana Department of Transportation Awards $110 Million in Local Transportation Funding
Governor Mike Braun recently announced the allocation of nearly $110 million in state matching funds to support transportation infrastructure projects across Indiana. These funds will be distributed among 346 cities, towns, and counties within the state. The awards were made through the Community Crossings Matching Grants program, which is managed by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Governor Braun presented these grants during the 43rd Annual Indiana Metropolitan Planning Organization and Indiana Association of Regional Councils Conference, held in Kokomo, IN, in late October. In a statement, Governor Braun emphasized the critical role of 'good roads and bridges' in fostering strong communities and a thriving economy. He highlighted that this funding ensures local communities have the necessary resources to implement improvements that directly benefit Hoosiers daily.
