(Indianapolis, IN) - Some communities in the area have been awarded state funding for road and bridge improvements.

 

For example, State Senator Mike Bohacek of Michiana Shores said over $3 million has been granted to communities in his district.

 

The La Porte County government will receive $1 million and Starke County gains just below $200,000 in turn.  Other communities awarded state road and bridge funding in his district include Knox at more than $386,000.

 

"Improving infrastructure like roads and bridges is crucial to improving the quality of life for those in our community," he said.

 

The funds are from the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, which matches the dollars provided by local municipalities for roads.

 

"I commend our local leaders for taking advantage of the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program and look forward to seeing the impact this funding has on Senate District 8," Bohacek said.

 

The CCMG offers two rounds of applications each year, with the next call for applications occurring in January 2024.
