Fight Against Drugs Has New Punch
The Blaine County Community Drug Coalition formally announced Thursday afternoon the receipt of a $625,000 grant from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. The Drug Free Communities grant, payable over five years and requiring community matching funds, will allow the coalition to expand from a staff of one to two full-time and two-part time employees.
