Mayor Sims is excited to announce the selection of the City of Monticello for award of the Community Crossings Matching Grant funding in the amount of $1,038,258.00, which results in a total project cost of nearly $1.4M. The scope of the project will provide roadway improvements on Beechwood Drive, including new concrete curb and gutter, ADA compliant sidewalk and curb ramps, and asphalt pavement. The city will fund 25% of the project cost and the INDOT award provides 75% of the project cost. The City of Monticello has participated in the Community Crossings Matching Grant program since 2016 and this award is another great step in advancing the roadway and pedestrian network in the City of Monticello.

AARP Indiana is showcasing the City of Monticello for their effort in bringing Mobile Integrated Health Services to our city through grants over the past two years.  MIH assists older citizens to stay in their homes, provide health services to reduce senior hospital readmissions, and assist young women with maternity needs during the early months of a pregnancy.

AARP Indiana is encouraging the State of Indiana Legislators to pass SB 142, HB 1378 and SB 10 to require health plans to reimburse MIH services and create permanent funding for new and ongoing MIH programs across the State of Indiana.

Take a moment to watch this six minute video.  It truly will make you proud to be of our community  and our local public servants who not only touch you in a positive way ... but may touch the lives of many Hoosiers across our state.
