FALMOUTH, MA A group of Cape Cod environmentalists have called on the Massachusetts Army National Guard to release hundreds of public comments pertaining to a proposal to build a machine gun range at Joint Base Cape Cod. The Association to Preserve Cape Cod submitted a public records request to obtain about 900 comments submitted to the Army National Guard regarding the range.
The $11 million firing range would expand an existing range at the base. Constructing it requires clearing more than 170 acres of forest to accommodate the range footprint, lighting, facilities, road maintenance and more.
