North plans for opioid abatement funds

NORTH ATTLEBORO - Health and Human Resources Coordinator Stephen Berdos appeared before the town council Monday night to detail the breakdown of annual payments in opioid abatement funds.

The funds are part of a larger, statewide settlement to municipalities across the Commonwealth, which will allocate over $900 million.

The money is from opioid distributors and pharmacies that have directly or indirectly contributed to the opioid epidemic.

North Attleboro is expected to receive over $2.4 million over the next 16 years.
