BOURNE, Mass. (AP) — Plan are underway to build a machine gun range at a Cape Cod base used for training by the Massachusetts Army National Guard.
The proposal for Camp Edwards at Joint Base Cape Cod, the first of its kind in the state, is contained in a 100-page environmental assessment prepared for the Guard and an accompanying draft finding that says the project would have no significant impacts.
Most of the noise from the range would be contained on the base, but some noise could affect multiple neighborhoods as well as an elementary school.
The National Guard is currently accepting written comments from the public on the proposal.
