Friends,

Governor Holcomb mentioned it yesterday, and we will tell you it again today – Hoosiers are getting out and about at almost the same rate we were before the pandemic.

 

And one place we are seeing the most movement again is on our roads. Traffic is down just 13% compared to early this year.

 

After all, we’re the Crossroads of America and Governor Holcomb is committed to keeping us in the pole position when it comes to infrastructure.

 

That’s why Governor Holcomb announced that the state’s incredibly popular local road funding program is back! The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program assists local communities in the repair, ongoing maintenance, and improvement of their roads and bridges – making sure Hoosiers’ first and last miles of their days are durable and safe.

 

In the last two years, $738.3 million has been invested into local projects throughout all 92 counties. $120 million of that was invested early this year alone. And the funding does not stop there.

 

Is there a road or bridge in your local community that still needs to be fixed? This program can help. The second Community Crossings call of 2020 is now moving forward.

 

Here are some dates you need to know:

• Sept. 25, 2020 – Application period opens
• Oct. 23, 2020 – Application period ends
• November 2020 – Awards announced

Keep up-to-date with the latest information about Community Crossings grants.

 

Communities large and small across the state are evenly feeling the positive impacts of these roads and bridge investments. It’s towns like Mauckport along the Ohio River in Southern Indiana with a population of less than 100 people. They received $100,000 and are seeing 3 miles of road improved – and your community could be next.

 

Governor Holcomb knows that our state can only be supported when every community is supported. This is a team sport, and together we’ve got Indiana in the fast lane for continued recovery and growth.

 

#BackOnTrack,

-Your Holcomb Crew
