WALTON COUNTY SHOOTING RANGE

A new shooting range may be coming to Walton County. The proposed outdoor shooting range would be on 40-acres on Highway 331 South near Wagon Wheel Road and Edgewood Circle, property which already contains a smaller, private shooting range that was constructed without permits according to Mac Carpenter, planning director for the county. He said it’s a subject of code enforcement action and the remedy is to get the proper development order if they’re able to. The proposal is scheduled to be reviewed again at an upcoming meeting August 21st. If recommended for approval, it would then be discussed at public hearings before the planning commission and board of county commissioners.
