The town of Sheridan announced on Monday, Dec. 15 infrastructure investments of more than $1 million in the town’s roads, bridges, and resurfacing priorities.
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) awarded Sheridan $836,076 through its Community Crossings Matching Grant Fund Program, and the town is contributing more than $200,000.
“The incredible progress we’ve made since the 2024 reorganization, including the completion of the Monon Trail, continues to the benefit of our residents, visitors, and businesses,” said Silas DeVaney, president of the Sheridan Town Council. “We are making the critical investments to improve our quality of life, attract jobs, and spur economic development.”
Additionally, Sheridan will conduct chip-and-seal road maintenance in the rural district. This marks the start of the annual rural district routine road resurfacing program, during which the Town will resurface 10 miles of road.
The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides funding to cities, towns, and counties across Indiana to make improvements to local roads and bridges. Community Crossings is a partnership between INDOT and Hoosier communities, both urban and rural, to invest in infrastructure projects that catalyze economic development, create jobs, and strengthen local transportation networks.
