VINCENNES, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recently awarded Dubois County $375,000 in Local Public Agency (LPA) Group IV funding.  These funds will be used in the reconstruction of Kentucky Street in Holland. 

County officials made their case for the federal matching funds before an award panel at the INDOT Vincennes District offices in June.  The panel's decision to choose Dubois County's project was confirmed in August by a selection committee in Indianapolis. 

Dubois County was one of six municipalities competing for the Vincennes District's $4.1 million in LPA Group IV funding.  Group IV projects had to be located in counties or in towns with a population of less than 5,000 (based on 2000 US Census) and must also be located outside the urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The maximum amount of funding to any one applicant during the 2009 call for projects was $3,000,000 and all awards will require the local entity to provide 20% in matching local funds.
