Northwest Indiana is set to get millions of dollars for road projects. The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced its latest round of Community Crossings Matching Grants. They cover 50 percent of the project cost for larger communities and 75 percent for smaller ones.
Locally, Crown Point, Griffith, Portage and Valparaiso all got the maximum of $1.5 million. So did Porter and Jasper counties.
Other big recipients this round include Dyer, East Chicago, Gary, Highland and Michigan City. They each got over $1 million.
Statewide, $207 million was awarded to 252 cities, towns and counties during this grant cycle. Another call for projects opens in July.
