NEW YORK – Over $11 million from the opioid settlements has been distributed to area counties by State Attorney General Letitia James’ office.
The funds are the result of the $1.5 billion James secured so far for the state as a result of settlements with the manufacturers and distributors of opioids.
Hudson Valley counties this year will receive:
- Dutchess County: $2.6 million
- Orange County: $3.1 million
- Putnam County, $707,000
- Rockland County: $1.8 million
- Sullivan County: $1.1 million
- Ulster County: $1.4 million
- Westchester County: $5.8 million
- City of Yonkers: $383,500
These funds will help us combat this crisis and ensure that those struggling with addiction get the support they need,” said James. “While no amount of money will ever make up for the lives we’ve lost, these funds will be vital in helping to prevent future deaths and destruction.”
