Community Crossing Awards Announced for Area Cities and Towns

Clinton County, along with Boone County and Carroll County communities can all roll forward with road and bridge projects thanks to a recent boost in state funding supported by State Reps. Mark Genda (R-Frankfort) and Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo).

A total of 252 communities across the state will receive over $207 million through Indiana’s Community Crossings Matching Grant Program. Funds can be used for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements and other items.

“This program is a perfect example of the state and our local communities working together to help Hoosiers,” Genda said. “These substantial investments will strengthen our network of roads and accelerate economic growth.”

Area grant recipients include Clinton County ($934,396.31), Colfax ($88,486.50) and Frankfort ($318,441.45).
