The Summit County Shooting Range has been closed since Friday, June 25, as officials roped off the area in an effort to mitigate wildfire risks while moving into Stage 2 fire restrictions. But a couple dozen community members and officials made their way past the caution tape Monday, June 28, to air their grievances and get more information about efforts by the county to reduce noise-related problems for nearby residents.
Despite a somewhat contentious atmosphere looming over the crowd, marked by occasional raised voices and interruptions, the sentiment by the end of the meeting appeared to be a consensus around what steps need to be taken to address the problem — at least at first.
