Funds for Programs Paid by Liquor Taxes

 

In Coffeyville, applications are being accepted for funding of programs for alcoholism and drug abuse prevention and education, intervention or treatment and recovery. The State of Kansas created an alcoholic liquor fund from taxes paid on the purchase of alcohol.

 

For cities with a population more than 6,000, state law states one-third of the funds goes to the general fund, one-third goes to parks and recreation, and one-third goes to a special alcohol and drug program fund.  

 

For 2019, there is about $27,000 available. Applications are due Friday, July 19.
