The City of Lexington’s Opioid Abatement Commission will hold town halls the next two Thursdays and they’re looking for suggestions on how to spend around 3-million dollars. The money is the city’s share of opioid settlement funds. Carmen Combs Marks, the city’s substance use disorder intervention coordinator, said public input, especially from those touched by the opioid epidemic, is vital.
“We want to hear what they have to say we want to hear their concerns. We want to hear ideas. And we want to be inclusive before making any types of decisions on how to spend this money that we've received.”
