BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Barren River Area Development District has partnered with the City of Bowling Green for an interlocal agreement where the City will delegate some of their opioid abatement funds to the Anchor Project.
“As the city was working on other issues, quality of life issues like homelessness, we started seeing all these connections to substance abuse and mental health… and so they launched a commission or a committee early to really start looking into that, and as their committee began to grow, other participants and stakeholders said ‘Hey, this is a city issue, but it’s also a regional issue,'” BRADD executive director Eric Sexton says.
Cities and counties can now join Bowling Green in delegating these funds to BRADD, as BG passed an ordinance during September 16th’s Cit
