Board approves $12,649.38 from opioid settlement fund for Prairie Ridge treatment clinic in Mason City
Summary
Franklin County supervisors approved a $12,649.38 allocation from local opioid settlement funds to Prairie Ridge to support start‑up costs for an opioid treatment clinic serving Mason City and surrounding areas.
Franklin County Board of Supervisors voted to award $12,649.38 from the county’s opioid settlement funds to Prairie Ridge to support start‑up costs for an opioid treatment clinic that will be located in Mason City and serve surrounding areas.
The board considered the request during its regular meeting and approved the specific amount. County staff confirmed the money will be drawn from Franklin County’s opioid settlement allocation and be used as Prairie Ridge’s start‑up contribution for local treatment capacity.
Board members discussed the county’s limited scale and the benefit of supporting treatment access in an area where providers are scarce. The motion was moved and seconded; the approval was recorded by voice vote with supervisors present signaling “aye.”
Prairie Ridge’s allocation is intended to help establish or expand an opioid treatment clinic to serve county residents and neighboring communities; the county did not specify further contract terms or follow‑up reporting requirements during the meeting.
