In response to public outcry over the proposed location of a police firearms range near the Island Woods Estates development, Stafford Township officials have decided to scrap the plan and go back to the drawing board.

A public workshop was planned for July 29 to solicit community feedback, but when word got out that such a proposal was in the offing, the opposition was immediate and strong.

“We want to make sure that when we do a project, we have the support of the community,” Mayor Greg Myhre said.
