Counties receiving opioid settlement funds lean toward regional approach
Counties receiving payouts from opioid settlements are considering pooling funds and coordinating spending through regional partnerships rather than acting alone. Supporters say a joint approach could stretch limited settlement money further and address addiction, treatment and prevention needs that cross county lines. Local officials and advocacy groups are watching closely how the funds will be allocated and what programs they will support.
Why now: Opioid settlement money is beginning to reach local governments, prompting debate over how best to spend it.
