The Clayton County Community Collaboration Council (5C Coalition) has received a Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grant to prevent youth substance use, including prescription drugs, marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol.  

The DFC program, created by the DFC Act of 1997 is the Nation’s leading effort to mobilize communities to prevent youth substance use and is directed by the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). 

In early November, the City of Guttenberg, the Clayton County Energy District (CCED), and local landlords Isaac Eulberg and Gary Willman completed their lights and water direct install kick-off project. 

Consistent with the energy district’s value “to build community by keeping energy local, clean and fair,” the goal of the project was to lower energy costs for a targeted group of low-to-moderate income (LMI) households while helping the city achieve more efficient, cleaner energy use.
