Brooke County Commission reviews opioid fund requests totaling about $1.76 million
Summary
Commissioners reviewed an itemized list of opioid fund requests for local agencies and nonprofits totaling approximately $1,755,948; the requests were presented for consideration and no formal approval or vote on those requests was recorded in the April 21 meeting minutes.
During the April 21, 2026 Brooke County Commission meeting, commissioners received an itemized set of opioid fund requests from county departments and local organizations totaling approximately $1,755,948.
The requests listed in the meeting record were: Sheriff Department $580,000; Health Department $159,784; WVU Medicine $125,000; EMA/EMS Assistant Deputy Director Mike Loborec $120,550+ (listed with a '+' in the record, indicating the amount may be approximate or that additional funds could apply); Easter Seals $20,000; Empower & Link Inc. $374,015; EMA/EMS Director Greg Moore $75,000; Youth Services System, Inc. $185,000; and Brooke County Firefighters Associations $116,599.
The meeting transcript records these amounts as part of correspondence or department requests; it does not record a vote or formal action approving those requests at the April 21 meeting. Commissioners noted the item as part of business to consider; no further detail on funding sources, timelines for disbursement or required approvals was provided in the minutes.
Because one amount is recorded with a '+', the summed total is approximate; the commission or county finance staff would need to confirm final figures and any subsequent approvals.
