Delaware County Not Awarded Federal Transportation Funding

Delaware county, skunked – INDOT announced this week $155.6 million in federal transportation funding is being awarded to 51 cities, towns, and counties in rural portions of Indiana to invest in local road and bridge improvements and sidewalk projects.   It’s not know is there was even an application, but we do know that Madison, Henry and Randolph counties got dough – totaling more than $7 million.  Communities must contribute at least 20 percent in local matching funds and meet other federal requirements to receive federal funding.
