Attorney General Russell Coleman has announced a new online dashboard allowing Kentuckians to track how opioid settlement funds are being spent across the Commonwealth.
The dashboard, created in partnership with the University of Kentucky’s Rapid Actionable Data for Response, or RADOR, was unveiled Tuesday by the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission. It gives the public access to state and local spending information with just a few clicks.
Since 2023, the Commission has awarded 300 grants totaling more than $86 million for opioid prevention, treatment and recovery efforts, with Kentucky expected to receive nearly $1 billion from national opioid settlement agreements.
According to the new dashboard, Russell County received $683,300 in opioid abatement funding during fiscal year 2025. Of that amount, $20,000 was distributed to the Lake Cumberland District Health Department and $1,300 to Russell County Opioid Liaison Jennifer Knifley, leaving an unspent balance of $662,500. The City of Russell Springs received $6,000 but reported no spending during the fiscal year, while the City of Jamestown received no opioid abatement funding.
