Overview

This roadway extension of Purple Heart Parkway from US 231 to Ladoga Road will be owned by the City of Crawfordsville (Phase 1) and Montgomery County (Phase 2) and maintained by each government entity to facilitate development in the area. This is a joint project between the City of Crawfordsville and Montgomery County. Phase 1 will be in the City of Crawfordsville, Phase 2 outside the city limits in Montgomery County. The roadway extension is critical in providing connectivity to anticipated residential, commercial, and industrial development in the area. New 300 unit apartment complex on the new roadway is not possible without site access. Multi-family housing provides an array of benefits including more intense and dense land use patterns that reduce sprawl and limit the effect of development on the environment. The READI funds will be used for construction. Local government match is split between the city and county. The multi-family housing new construction of 300 units is the private match. The project is estimated to start in June 2022 and end in May 2025.
