We’re learning how much money our local communities are getting for road repairs from the Community Crossroads grants.
In St. Joseph County, Mishawaka is getting $975,000, South Bend is getting $523,000, Osceola, $108,000 and Lakeville, $89,000.
In Elkhart County, Nappanee is getting $1 million, Middlebury, $502,000, Wakarusa, $485,000 and Bristol $404,000.
The funds can go towards road and bridge preservation, road construction, intersection improvements, guardrail replacements and signage.
Smaller municipalities need to provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while large communities need to make a 50 percent match.
