Motorists and pedestrians will soon benefit from the completion of the latest Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) project that began Nov. 4 in Gosport.


Awarded to Milestone Contractors for $241,694.00, the project includes milling and resurfacing portions of Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Church and Goss Streets, in addition to the construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk ramps in designated areas.


Through the program, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) matches up to $1 million annually when localities invest in road and bridge repairs. To qualify for funding, local governments must provide local matching funds from a funding source approved for road and bridge construction. Communities are also required to submit an INDOT-approved asset management plan for maintaining existing roads and bridges.


Gosport received funding during the round of CCMG grants announced in the Spring of 2025. The Town of Gosport is providing the required 25 percent construction match.


The matching grant program, established by the Indiana General Assembly in 2016, aims to advance community infrastructure projects, strengthen local transportation networks and improve Indiana's roads and bridges.


Since its enactment, the program has awarded more than $2 billion in state matching funds for local construction projects.


Gosport also received funding during the round of CCMG grants announced in November of 2023, with that funding utilized to complete portions of street paving and sidewalk improvements in 2024.
