OSGOOD, INDIANA RECEIVES $999,900 IN COMMUNITY CROSSINGS ROAD GRANTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OSGOOD, IN - April 18, 2019

Town of Osgood is among the Indiana Cities, Towns, and Counties that have been announced to receive Next Level Roads Community Crossings Grants.

The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program provides funding to cities, towns, and counties across Indiana to make improvements to local roads and bridges. This program is a partnership between INDOT and Indiana communities to invest in infrastructure projects that advance economic development, job creation and local transportation.

Community Crossings is open to all local government unites in the State of Indiana and projects submitted for these grant funds are evaluated on need, traffic volume, local support, impact on connectivity and mobility, and regional economic significance.

On Tuesday, March 26, 2019, Governor Eric Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Commissioner Joe McGuinness announced 189 Indiana cities, towns, and counties to receive a combined $150 million in state-matching funds for local road projects through the Next Level Roads: Community Crossings Initiative.

A record number of communities applied for and received funds this year, and the Town of Osgood was announced to receive grant funds in the amount of $999,900. These funds will be used to partially fund a $1.33 Million project for sidewalk and road improvements throughout the Town (see project map below).

In 2017, the Town of Osgood received $670,000 from the Community Crossings Grant Program which was used to make improvements on Walnut Street.
