Local communities will receive state matching grants to improve roads and bridges, according to State Rep. Kathy Kreag Richardson (R-Noblesville).

More than $150 million was awarded to Indiana cities, towns and counties through the Community Crossings grant program, which is now in its second year. The grants are available through the Indiana Department of Transportation as a result of legislation supported by Richardson in 2016.
“Hamilton County is experiencing tremendous population growth, which places an increased strain on our local infrastructure,” Richardson said. “The funding provided under these grants will help local governments continue attracting employers and investments in our communities, while also increasing safety and improving convenience on our heavily traveled roadways.”

“Our roads and bridges not only support the economy, but also provide more efficient and safe travel for Hoosiers,” State Rep. Tony Cook (R-Cicero) said. “With these grants, our local communities will be able to focus on much-needed roadway and infrastructure projects.”
According to Richardson, Hamilton County will receive $775,000. Several communities throughout Hamilton County will receive grants as well, including $471,686 for Noblesville, $364,275 for Arcadia, $670,000 for Carmel, $447,860 for Cicero, $376,584 for Sheridan and $670,000 for Westfield.
Projects eligible for funding through Community Crossings include road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements, small structure replacements, guardrail replacements and signs.
