Municipalities that participate are eligible to receive direct payments from the settlement, part of a nationwide $720 million agreement resolving litigation against the manufacturers for their role in the opioid crisis. Michigan governments stand to receive up to $24.5 million. “These national settlements have already made a significant difference in the fight against the opioid epidemic,” Nessel said. And in Macomb County these include Chesterfield Township, Eastpointe, Fraser, Harrison Township, Lenox Township, Mount Clemens, New Baltimore, Roseville, Shelby Township, St. Clair Shores, Sterling Heights, Warren and Washington Township. The money is distributed to the state and local units of government for opioid-use disorder treatment and remediation.
