The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
The Marion County Board of Commissioners meets Wednesday to consider awarding $250,000 grants to two local organizations for substance use disorder services, using state funding the county received after Oregonians passed Measure 110 in fall 2020. The law was intended to take drug users out of jails and put them into clinics.
Commissioners will also consider contracts for repairing the wildfire-damaged street on Southeast North Fork Road and rebuilding part of Hollywood Drive, each projected to cost over $2 million.
We’ll have a full preview of the board meeting today. Here are some of our latest reports. You can find more on our website.
