State police plan live gun fire at planned shooting range
GRISWOLD, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut State Police are planning to conduct a noise testing exercise at the site of a proposed firing range in Griswold.
The live gun fire exercise is planned for Wednesday, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. If there's inclement weather, the exercise will take place on Thursday.
State Police say the gun fire is needed to provide baseline information for a noise study that will be included in an environmental impact study for the project. Troopers will be on-site.
Many Griswold residents oppose the planned range, which would replace the current training facility in Simsbury. That site is prone to flooding and is rapidly eroding.
