Board members plan town hall to consult community on roughly $140,000 in local opioid settlement funds
Summary
Representatives said they will host a community town hall (likely late July) to gather resident input on priorities for opioid settlement funds made available to King William County, and asked to use school meeting space; details and dates will be finalized after a June 13 planning meeting.
Board members who serve on the local opioid settlement committee told the board they are planning a community town hall to solicit public input on how to spend the initial settlement payments King William has received. The committee is seeking to host the event at a school facility in late July and will confirm dates after a June 13 planning meeting.
A committee representative said initial funds available to the community are "about 140,000 something like that" and that the county and West Point may split allocations depending on the program; funds are distributed over time rather than as a single lump sum. The committee discussed formats used elsewhere — small tables with facilitators and report‑outs — and requested permission to reserve school space and AV support as needed.
Board members asked the committee to provide logistical details (equipment, number of tables/chairs, AV, internet) so the division can confirm availability. The committee will return more information after the June 13 planning meeting and expects to have materials for the board by the June 18 meeting.
