Hancock County commissioners debate using $1.6M opioid settlement funds for county expenses vs. community programs, with a decision pending.
Hancock County commissioners met on October 7, 2025, to discuss allocating $1.6 million in opioid settlement funds, with a December 17 application deadline and potential recipients announced in early January.
While three applications were submitted and a fourth pending, commissioners disagreed on the funds’ use: one proposed using up to $800,000 for county expenses like prisoner housing and the Lee Day Report Center, while others argued the money should fund community programs focused on education, prevention, and rehabilitation.
The commission has not yet agreed on a distribution plan, and an online application form is available for interested groups.
