Dant Chesser celebrates road and bridge funding

House District 71 will receive almost $1.8 million through the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Community Crossings Matching Grant Program to improve local roads and bridges. Clark County will receive nearly $324,000 and Jeffersonville will receive close to $1.5 million. 

State Rep. Wendy Dant Chesser (D-Jeffersonville) applauded the funding for our local communities: 

“Road improvements are vital not only to our quality of life, but also continuous maintenance and improvements in our infrastructure ensures we will continue to attract visitors, residents and investment in our community. I am excited that House District 71 will receive almost $1.8 million for much-needed road improvements. Better roads mean safer driving, and we all deserve to be safe on our daily commutes.”

The Community Crossings Matching Grant Program, announced today by Gov. Mike Braun and INDOT, awarded over $200 million statewide to support local infrastructure projects. The program is funded through Indiana’s local road and bridge matching fund, designed to assist counties, cities, and towns in maintaining and upgrading critical transportation networks.

“It’s the roads in our community that connect us to one another. We deserve quality public infrastructure that serves the need of our growing community and businesses. I’m focused on securing the dollars we need for our roads and continuing our track record of development.”
