(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Joe McGuinness have announced the recipients of Community Crossing grants.

  • Batesville - $860,696.69

“As we navigate through the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re as committed as ever to improving and building our state’s infrastructure,” said Governor Holcomb. “I’m incredibly pleased that we’re able to fund all of the high-priority local road projects submitted in this round. Taking care of our local roads is key to making sure our communities remain attractive places to grow businesses and create careers.”

The Community Crossings Initiative has provided more than $830 million in state matching funds for construction projects. In response to revenue uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, INDOT moved this call for projects, originally scheduled for July, to September. The $101 million award is funded by the balance available in the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund at the end of the 2020 fiscal year as well as revenue collected so far in the 2021 fiscal year.

A full list of all communities receiving matching funds in the 2020 summer/fall call can be found at www.in.gov/indot/communitycrossings.
