STATEHOUSE (Sept. 21, 2017) — Local
communities will receive state matching grants to improve roads and bridges,
according to State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola).
More than $150 million was awarded to Indiana
cities, towns and counties through the Community Crossings grant program, which
is now in its second year. The grants are available through the Indiana
Department of Transportation as a result of legislation supported by Wesco in
2016.
“These grants help our communities to address their
immediate road-funding needs,” Wesco said. “Improvements that will be made will
help keep Hoosiers safe as they travel on our roadways, while also securing
Indiana’s position as the Crossroads of America.”
Elkhart County will receive $344,000 and St. Joseph
County will receive $670,000. In addition, various communities in Elkhart and
St. Joseph counties will be awarded grants:
