Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board · 2026-06-08 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board in Escambia County, which is reviewing project proposals. The board is offering bonus points for innovative projects with measurable results, prioritizing them over projects that simply continue or expand existing programs. While no specific project details like location, size, or current use are provided, the review process suggests potential future work related to approved innovative projects. This could involve various phases of development, from initial planning and design to construction and implementation, depending on the nature of the funded projects. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor the board's decisions. Early engagement with project proponents, before final plans and permits are set, could offer an advantage in securing future work.
