The Township of Greenwich recognizes the need to establish a

of which are to identify alcoholism and drug prevention, education
and community needs and to implement the programs formulated by the
County Alliance Steering Subcommittees, and such legislation further
provides for the distribution of grants from the Drug Enforcement
and Demand Reduction Fund (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-15) to municipal alliance
committees to carry out the aforesaid objectives.
There is hereby established "The Greenwich Township Municipal
Alliance Committee" to serve the needs of Greenwich Township as stated
herein with such Committee eligible to accept and receive funds pursuant
