According to an April 15 article by Steven Bartlett of The Press Republican newspaper, the extension will allow the program to continue to work of reducing teen drinking and drug use in the Plattsburgh area:

We have 30 different organizations that are part of the partnership," [said project coordinator Jessica Mathews]. "We try to eradicate and reduce the use of drugs and alcohol in the community among youth 18 and under."

The Plattsburgh Campus and Community Partnerships mission is to empower the community to make healthy lifestyle choices through collaborative planning.

This is done by fostering respectful, responsible and productive citizens and by preventing alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and related health and behavior problems.
