A bill that would allow Indy to receive $50 million in additional state road funding is slated to become law. The Indiana House and Senate both agreed this week on changes made to House Bill 1461, which will allow Indianapolis to access the money so long as it provides new funds to match that dollar amount. The Hogsett administration will have access to the funds, which can only be used for construction and reconstruction of local streets, beginning in 2027.
