The City of Shelbyville has announced its selection as a recipient of the Indiana Department of Transportation’s Community Crossings Matching Grant Fund program.
The grant, totaling $343,258.58, will be used to enhance infrastructure and bolster community development.
Specifically, according to a media release issued by the city, the grant is designated for the improvement of McKay Road from Berwick Drive to Miller St. The project encompasses a concrete mill with an asphalt overlay alongside the installation of storm sewer infrastructure.
The bid for the McKay Road project was awarded to Dave O’Mara Contractors and is scheduled to commence in June, following the conclusion of the school year.
“We are immensely thankful for INDOT for their investment in our community,” said Shelbyville Mayor Scott Furgeson in the media release. “These grant funds will enable us to embark on crucial infrastructure projects that will enhance connectivity, promote economic vitality, and elevate the quality of life for our residents.”
