The Wyoming Legislature’s State Shooting Complex Oversight Task Force will meet at 8:30 a.m. Friday, March 15, online and at the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne.
The purpose of the meeting is to review letters of interest that were submitted to the Task Force, consider proposed changes and additions to the final request for proposals, and finalize the proposal process, according to the legislative website.
The agenda for the meeting indicates that the Fremont County Association of Governments has submitted a letter of interest, along with:
-Campbell County
-Central Wyoming (Natrona County)
-City of Cheyenne
-Hot Spring County
-Park County
-Town of Guernsey
-Uinta County
All of the letters of interest are posted in the meeting materials, including the one from FCAG, which is also available here.
Two sites
The FCAG letter features two potential sites that could host the state shooting complex: a 75 square mile area west of Boysen Reservoir, and a 17.5 square mile area east of Boysen Reservoir.
FCAG said the larger site is their “primary focus.”
“Situated adjacent to Boysen Reservoir to the west, it boasts excellent accessibility directly from State Highway 26,” the FCAG letter states. “With the scenic backdrop of Wind River Canyon and the Owl Creek Mountains to the north, the vistas and views at this location are truly stunning.”
