During its April 10 meeting, Henderson City Council approved a consent-agenda item declaring the city’s intent to participate in newly available national opioid settlements related to participating pharmacies.
The consent paperwork cites ‘‘wave two’’ settlements with participating pharmacies including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Allergan and Teva and states the settlements will result in an additional $600 million to North Carolina state and local governments. The document lists an expected amount of $166,301.56 to be received by Henderson City between 2023 and 2036; the final amount is subject to the number of participating governments and allocation rules.
