Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $171,000.00 to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) on May 19, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant supports the development of bike and pedestrian facilities along the east side of State Road 13 in Kosciusko County, Indiana, extending from the southern town limits at Esterbrook Drive to the northern town limits near East Etna Pike. The project, designated R-45530 (DES 2301673), falls within INDOT's Fort Wayne District and represents a multimodal transportation infrastructure enhancement initiative aligned with the program's eligible activities for active transportation network development.

As a Formula Grant recipient, INDOT has extended preliminary engineering services to the Town of North Webster as a sub-awardee under this project. The preliminary engineering phase represents an essential early-stage activity that supports the overall project development and planning requirements mandated under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which typically requires environmental reviews, design planning, and specifications development prior to construction commencement. This structure reflects the federally assisted, state-administered nature of the Highway Planning and Construction program, wherein state transportation departments coordinate with local municipalities to advance transportation infrastructure priorities within their respective regions.
