Commission Boosts Local Grant-Writing Efforts for Treatment Center
JCC reverses course on fight with state grant-writing organization
The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, April 24, 2025
In a recent decision reported by The Spirit of Jefferson, the Jefferson County Commission has changed its stance on funding a state grant-writing organization, Region 9, and is instead enhancing the responsibilities of a county employee to include grant-seeking for local projects. This move aims to support the development of a new day-report addiction treatment center while continuing significant community services provided by the local social services liaison. The commission's decision follows previous tensions regarding funding and services rendered by Region 9, which is crucial for assisting local governments in securing grants for essential projects.
