Medora awarded road funding
More Medora streets will receive much-needed attention in 2021.
On Tuesday, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Joe McGuinness announced 241 Indiana cities, towns and counties will receive a combined $101 million in state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of the governor’s Next Level Roads program.
That includes $179,316.73 for Medora. The town will have to provide a 25% match.
Jon Craig, business development manager for Midwestern Engineers Inc. of Loogootee, helped the town apply for the grant. He said Medora was awarded the full amount for which it applied, and he will check with INDOT to ensure the road projects all line up.
