$15,000 donation to Substance Abuse Task Force

Ozark County commissioners donated $15,000 to the Ozark County Substance Abuse Task Force on Monday. The money comes from Ozark County’s part of a national opioid lawsuit settlement, in which Ozark County received $21,588. Shown are (from left) OCSATF president Jeff Dotson, Eastern District County Commissioner Gary Collins, Western District County Commissioner Layne Nance and Presiding County Commissioner Terry Newton. Dotson said the $15,000 will be used to install three heating and air conditioning units at a OCSATF men’s sober living facility on Highway 5 just south of Gainesville. A similar facility for women is currently under construction off J Highway. Officials are hoping both facilities will be open and operational this summer.
