Funded by the federal Community Development Block Grant, this program is available to communities for a variety of infrastructure improvements to enable long-term growth. Each grant must have a match of local funds and meet certain grant requirements. 

In announcing the grants, Lt. Gov. Ellspermann noted, “Indiana’s rural and smaller cities and towns are important to the overall economic and social fabric of our state. Through this specific program and others, we want to help these communities remain attractive places to live, raise families and operate businesses."

The other towns/counties receiving grants include: Cannelton, Cayuga, Jennings County, Worthington, Pine Village, Kempton, Colfax, North Liberty, Atlanta, Walkerton and Greene County
