STATEHOUSE (Nov. 4, 2021) – Local Jefferson County communities will receive nearly $2 million in state matching grants to steer toward much-needed road improvement projects, according to State Reps. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) and Zach Payne (R-Charlestown).

Lucas said 218 towns, cities and counties throughout Indiana received a combined total of over $101 million through the Community Crossings Matching Grant program. Lucas supported legislation establishing the program in 2016 and its expansion in 2017. The Indiana Department of Transportation oversees and distributes these grants twice each year.

Payne said state matching grant recipients include Jefferson County $1 million and Madison $947,694.
