Outdoor Firing Range Relocation
The citizens of New Haven, Connecticut are building support for an issue that has had a negative impact on our quality of life in the Beaver Hill, West Hills and Newhallville neighborhoods. The New Haven Police Department's out door firing range has operated in a residential area surrounded by several schools and must be relocated for the sake of the residents of the surrounding areas.
Why is this important?
I have seen the negative impact that growing up listening to gunfire has had an affect on the development of young people within earshot. Tax payers as well as young people should not endure the sound of gunfire in residential neighborhoods.
