Eric Holcomb announced Thursday.\r\n\r\nNearly $140 million was awarded by the state through the Community Crossings matching grant program, which is part of Holcomb\u2019s taxpayer-funded Next Level Roads program.\r\n\r\nThis is the second round of funding this year as the Indiana Department of Transportation program awarded $207 million in the spring. This year, northeast Indiana counties have received about $51 million through Community Crossings.\r\n\r\n\u201cCommunity Crossings has been an annual highlight over the years,\u201d Holcomb said in a statement. \u201cThe fact that nearly 14,000 miles of road and over 200 local bridges have been replaced or rehabilitated through this program since 2017 is simply astonishing, in addition to countless economic and quality of life benefits in hundreds of communities across Indiana.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe state described the call for applications as highly competitive. Community Crossings funding comes from the state\u2019s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The funds are for construction, which includes maintenance, the website says. Eligible projects include road and bridge preservation that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.\r\n\r\nThe highest awards are for $1.5 million. DeKalb County and Shipshewana in LaGrange County were the only northeast communities to receive the maximum award in this round.\r\n\r\nSeveral other communities came close to receiving the maximum. Huntertown, Ligonier and Columbia City were all awarded more than $1.48 million. Berne and Decatur will receive awards of more than $1.4 million.\r\n\r\nAdams County will get the most matching grant dollars out of northeast Indiana counties as five of its communities will receive more than $3.7 million combined.\r\n\r\nOther northeast Indiana communities that received at least $1 million are Angola, more than $1.3 million; Kosciusko County, nearly $1.3 million; and Auburn, $1 million.\r\n\r\nAmong the 232 communities that received funding, 41 are in northeast Indiana.\r\n\r\nThe communities also have to fund parts of their projects. Cities and towns with less than 10,000 residents and counties with less than 50,000 people will have to pay for 25% of the projects.\r\n\r\nCities and towns with more than 10,000 residents and counties with more than 50,000 will split the projects 50-50 with the state transportation department.\r\n\r\nThe program was launched in 2016 and has since awarded more than $1.8 billion to local road improvement projects.\r\n\r\nLong-term funding for Community Crossings was identified by state legislators and was passed in 2017 by the General Assembly and signed into law by Holcomb, the release said.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis program has impacted communities in all 92 Indiana counties, most more than once,\u201d Commissioner Mike Smith of the state transportation department said in a statement. \u201cI want to recognize all of the local agencies who have participated over time for their hard work and dedication to improving their local transportation networks.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe next round of funding will be awarded next year. The application window opens at 8 a.m. Jan. 2 and closes at 5 p.m. Jan. 31.\r\n\r\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-90316\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/community-crossings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/community-crossings.jpg 590w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/community-crossings-300x83.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/>\r\n<div id=\"tncms-region-article_instory_top\" class=\"tncms-region hidden-print\">\r\n<div id=\"tncms-block-2557060\" class=\"tncms-block\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN- Communities in 11 northeast Indiana counties will soon receive more than $24 million combined to help repair and maintain roads, Gov.
