body
Summary:
summary
Rutherford County has joined national settlement agreements with companies engaged in the manufacturing, distribution, and dispensing of opioids. The allocation, use and reporting of funds stemming from these national settlement agreements and bankruptcy resolutions are governed by the Memorandum of Agreement Between the State of North Carolina and Local Governments on Proceeds Relating to the Settlement of Opioid Litigation and the Supplemental Agreement for Additional Funds from Additional Settlements of Opioid Litigation. The Rutherford County Opioid Settlement Funds Request for Application (RFA) Review Sub-Committee has completed their review of submitted RFAs and recommend that the County Commissioners approve three projects for funding via A Resolution by the County of Rutherford to Direct the Expenditure of Opioid Settlement Fund. The three recommended projects would begin on July 1, 2024 and would cover two years, FY2024-2025 and FY2025-2026.
