OGDENSBURG — Seaway Valley Council for Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention, Inc. will receive only $69,894 from the state’s recent dole out of $3.7 million to addiction services agencies across New York.

The local agency, also known as the Seaway Valley Prevention Council at 206 Ford St., has provided prevention, community, and recovery services for residents in St. Lawrence County and beyond since 1987. Read more about the council at www.svpc.net.

The state funding was announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul last week as part of more than $3.7 million distributed to expand evidence-based addiction prevention services throughout New York State.

Funding was awarded to providers in each of New York State's ten economic development regions and will support prevention providers who had their services negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a press release from the governor’s office said.

The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) will administer the funding.

The $69,894 award was the only allotment provided to St. Lawrence County.
