City eligible for more opioid funds The city of Frisco could get more money to fund Narcan purchases and other drug-prevention methods. Frisco City Council approved measures to expand the city’s eligibility for opioid settlement funds at a meeting Aug. 5. The big picture Previous settlement agreements saw Frisco eligible to receive up to $1 million in funds to help address the opioid crisis locally. The vote Aug. 5 was to add more compa- nies to the settlement and become eligible to receive the additional funds. The additional funding amount has not been specified. The new state settlement amounts to $286.5 million. The state is set to receive almost $3 billion in all.
