The Sterling Board of Finance approved an appropriation of $29,850.40 from the townopioids account to the Northeast District Department of Health (NDDH) to support drug prevention and mitigation work.
Chairman Robert Salisbury explained the allocation and said the funds will be used to hire a specialized person to create plans for drug prevention and mitigation in the town. Neil Delmonico moved to approve the appropriation and Tracie Adams seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote, 6-0.
Why it matters: the appropriation directs restricted opioid settlement or mitigation funds toward local prevention planning through the district health authority. The minutes do not specify a contract or timeline for the specialist hire.
