OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police officers will hold an informational meeting for neighbors of an outdoor shooting range to be built at a Public Safety Training Center in Omaha.
Starting Wednesday and continuing through Feb. 13, the meetings will allow neighbors to ask the Omaha Police Department about any concerns.
The training center’s addition will cost $2.47 million. The city will pay $1.27 million and the FBI will pay $1.2 million.
Construction of the 20-lane gun range is slated to begin this fall. The range is expected to open for federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in late 2017.
It isn’t thought that gunshot noise will be a problem because the area is zoned for industrial and rural use.
