The county will now share in a national opioid settlement covering six defendant companies, a move approved by county commissioners.
The story
Ahead of its April 20, 2026 meeting, the Habersham County Board of Commissioners placed on its agenda a request to authorize the county chairman to sign documents allowing the county to participate in the National Opioid Settlement with six remnant defendants, a settlement listed in the meeting packet at $97.6 million.
The Board of Commissioners approved the county's participation in the settlement by a 3-0 vote at that meeting.
