Mark Valetta, the man behind the petition that has garnered over 10,000 signatures so far, has posted an update that gives us some insight into the quiet machinations of the county's effort to re-open the range to the public.
"I am pleased to report that our commissioners reached out to the NC
Wildlife Resources Commission and are in negotiations to have an
innovative County/State partnership put in place. Both the County
Commissioners and the Wildlife Staff have been very receptive to the
public organizers. In a meeting I attended earlier this week with
Wildlife staff, we were very pleased to have earnest conversations about
the future of the range. I am very confident that this range will
remain a publicly accessible facility for generations to come. But we
do not let down until that outcome is realized. We're not done until
that's a done deal! "
Cause for optimism to be sure but as Mark says, it ain't over until it's over. If you haven't already signed the petition please do so NOW. It's important that the Commissioners and the Wildlife Commission be kept aware that there is still great interest in keeping this range and the training available and open to the public.
