From the Madison Courier:
Local Indiana governments will receive additional state funding for roads, bridges and highway projects over the next two years.
In its 2014-2015 budget, the General Assembly, established a local roadway funding increase of $7.2 million statewide. The state's fiscal year began July 1.
In Jefferson County, government entities are set to receive more than a $1.2 million increase in funding over the two-year span - more than $600,000 each year.
A nearly $500,000 increase will go to county government, which oversees a majority of area roads and every bridge in the county and city limits. The city of Madison will receive an additional $100,000 in funding, while Hanover will receive nearly an extra $30,000.
Scott County will receive $400,000 in additional funding, while Switzerland County will be given an increase of $300,000 both years.
Commissioner Mark Cash said the additional funding will help the county because in previous years it has taken $500,000 from its Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT) account for paving projects.
"We're planning on applying as much as we can to paving," Cash said.
