Cecil County Gets Grant To Prevent Youth Substance Abuse
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A $125,000 grant will support local efforts to prevent youth substance misuse in a Maryland county.
Maryland Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin made the announcement Thursday.
The funding was awarded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration's Drug Free Communities Program.
