The CCMG, established by the Indiana General Assembly in 2016, aims to advance community infrastructure projects, strengthen local transportation networks and improve Indiana’s roads and bridges. Since its enactment, the program has awarded more than $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.
This additional round of awards is being issued following the passage of Senate Enrolled Act 179.
In Senate District 17, the following communities received grants:
- Converse received $100,417.92

- Roanoke received $396,967.20
- Swayzee received $234,958.28
- Wabash County received $764,549.60
“Whether it’s taking your kids to school, getting to and from work or just driving through to visit, having strong and reliable roadways is critical in helping our communities move forward,” McKinley said. “I commend our local leaders for investing in efforts to improve our local infrastructure and look forward to seeing the benefits that will come from this funding.”
