Evansville, IN – According to the statement, this grant, awarded twice a year, will support several road paving projects across the city.
This marks the second cycle of the grant, following a successful first cycle earlier this year, which helped fund paving projects on Boeke, Burkhardt, and Red Bank roads. The new grant will help continue the city’s road improvement efforts.
“As a city, we recognize the importance of maintaining safe routes of travel for our residents,” said Mayor Stephanie Terry. “This was a priority identified by residents in our recent community survey and it is a priority for our administration. Earlier this year, we were able to make improvements to several roads through the first round of Community Crossings; this second round will allow us to continue work to improve the condition of our roads.”
The grant will fund paving on the following streets:
- Stringtown Rd. from Morgan Ave. to Keck Ave.
- Boeke Rd. from Virginia St. to Morgan Ave.
- West Mill St. from First Ave. to the city limit
- Oak Grove Rd. from Enterprise to the East Bridge Limit
- North Green River Rd. from Constellation to Davis Lant
These projects will be put out for bid in early 2025, with paving expected to begin later in the year.
