Dear Friend,
This week, many of our local communities received state matching grants to improve roads and bridges.
This year, I supported legislation establishing the state’s Community Crossings matching grant fund, which will provide about $160 million to Indiana cities, towns and counties on a 50/50 matching basis.
As part of the program, Posey and Vanderburgh counties each received $1 million for road and bridge improvement projects. In addition, five local communities were awarded grants, including Cynthiana ($60,876), Darmstadt ($98,740), Evansville ($707,750), Mount Vernon ($447,434) and New Harmony ($43,665).
Projects eligible for funding through Community Crossings include road resurfacing, bridge rehabilitation, road reconstruction and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance in connection with road projects. Material costs for chip sealing and crack filling operations were also eligible for funds.
More information about Community Crossings can be found by clicking here.
Our transportation infrastructure touches every sector of our economy and drives economic development. I’ll work hard next session to ensure we develop a responsible, long-term funding solution that maintains and improves our roads for future generations.
Sincerely,
State Rep. Wendy McNamara
Where did the money come from. State is finally giving
the locals back their own money and act like they’re doing them a big favor. But it is a election year.
Is Wendy still married to Marc (divorce papers buried in Daviess County (must be burial ground for unwanted papers))?
