INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Department of Transportation will be accepting applications from local governments who want federal dollars for infrastructure projects.

The state says the latest round of funding is for rural areas. To qualify, communities need to design, develop, purchase land and bid out the projects within five years.

The state will start accepting applications this week.

INDOT says $5 million will be made available for sidewalk improvements in rural areas.
