Summary
Bland County approved a collaboration with Wythe County to apply for an Opioid Abatement Authority grant and authorized the county administrator to sign related documents, following a request from the director of Bland County Social Services.
At its March 26 meeting the Bland County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved collaboration with Wythe County to pursue an Opioid Abatement Authority grant and authorized the County Administrator to serve as the designated signatory.
Alicia "Nikki" Adkins, director of Bland County Department of Social Services, requested the board’s approval to partner with Wythe County on the grant application. Stephen Kelley moved to approve the collaboration; Randy Johnson seconded and the motion passed with all supervisors voting yea.
