State announces road money grants
Eight cities, towns or counties in south central Indiana will receive matching grants for road projects during this year’s second round of the Community Crossing program administered by the Indiana Department of Transportation.
At $1 million, the city of Columbus received the largest allocation. However, due to population, the city must match the grant on a 50-50 basis, INDOT grant administrator Kathy Eaton-McKalip said.
In Columbus, the money will be used to repair and overlay the following roads or streets next year: County Road 200S (within the city limits), two sections of 13th Street, Terrace Lake Road, McClure Road, Miami Drive, Ohio Street and Wedgewood Drive, according to Executive Director of Public Works and City Engineer Dave Hayward.
