To be eligible for funding, smaller municipalities must contribute 20 percent in local funds, while larger communities are required to provide a 50 percent match. State guidelines also ensure that half of the available matching funds each year are directed to communities in counties with populations of 50,000 or fewer.

I am thrilled to see Southwest Indiana towns and counties utilizing funds from the Community Crossings program.
