The county will receive more than $4 million in state money to help repair roads next year in most of its cities and towns, but a majority of the funding will go to Center Grove area neighborhoods.
Johnson County communities will receive $4.1 million in Community Crossing grants for 2021 road projects, the state announced last week.
About half of the $4.1 million will go to repairing streets in White River Township subdivisions that have aging concrete roads. All of Greenwood and Johnson County’s $1 million shares will be spent in those neighborhoods.
City and county officials say the subdivision work will repair some of the worst areas in many subdivisions with aging infrastructure. Both of the projects will convert the streets to asphalt, simplifying future maintenance.
