In a significant boost to infrastructure development, communities across southern Indiana have been awarded more than $200 million in funding through the Community Crossing Matching Grant (CCMG) program. The grants will support various local and regional infrastructure projects throughout the region.
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced the substantial funding package, which totals nearly $201 million distributed among 34 communities in southern Indiana. This investment represents one of the largest infrastructure funding initiatives in the region’s recent history.
Among the recipients, several counties received the maximum grant amount of $1.5 million, including Dubois, Harrison, Knox, Monroe, Perry, Spencer, Warrick, and Washington counties. The city of Evansville also received the maximum allocation.
Other significant recipients include Vanderburgh County with over $1.18 million, Posey County with more than $1.12 million, and Lawrenceburg with approximately $1.11 million. Martin County was awarded just over $1.1 million, while Lawrence received nearly $1.02 million.
