Amendment For Milford Youth Drug Abuse Services Included In Budget

MILFORD, MA—State Senator Ryan C. Fattman (R-Webster) announced that three amendments he proposed in the upcoming fiscal year’s budget were adopted in the final state budget that will go before Governor Charlie Baker.

These amendments were passed successfully through the state legislature’s joint conference committee, which was tasked with ironing out the details between the House of Representatives and State Senate. The final state budget secures additional resources for regional public safety improvements, and Mendon’s 350th anniversary program.

”I am appreciative of the conference committee moving these community oriented amendments forward,” said Fattman. “Every dollar matters in helping local government assist those in our communities.”

Specifically, “An Amendment for Greater Milford Area Substance Regional Substance Abuse and Intervention Program” would provide the Milford Juvenile Advocacy Group program additional resources for youth drug abuse services. “An Amendment for Mendon’s 350th Anniversary Parade” adds additional funding to Mendon’s celebration committee, and “An Amendment relative to Mendon Public Safety Improvements” would incorporate funding for Mendon’s plan to build a new police station.
