Person County Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee Survey

Beginning in 2021 and extending until 2039, Person County will receive annual settlement funds to support programs in the county to help people impacted by the opioid crisis.

The Person County Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee is developing plans to support county residents and welcome community input. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey about how you think the funds should be used.
