McKinney City Council members voted to direct $100,000 of the city’s opioid crisis funding to McKinney-based nonprofit GraceToChange at a June 6 meeting.
McKinney was awarded just over $450,000 as part of a settlement from opioid abatement litigation at the state level.
Texas, along with a coalition of other states and subdivisions, reached a final agreement with pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies that had claims against them for their role in the opioid crisis, according to city documents.
Companies listed in the settlement include CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, and other opioid manufacturers and distributors as well as pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacies, according to city documents.
