Do you recognize this?
If you live in Willington, you do.
The area outlined in red is the 327 acres the State Police are looking to buy up. The crosshatched square in the middle is 30 acres worth of land- the amount the State Police say the proposed facility will occupy. The current site is on 12.5 acres.
Now take a look at the circles. They represent .5 mile, 1 mile, and 2 miles out from the center of the Ruby Road site.
Do you see your house there? Your child's school? Your church?
Keeping in mind that under normal conditions, the sound of gun fire can be heard 4-6 miles out, take another look at that map.
In the coming days, the map will be updated, with buildings marked in, circles radiating outward.
How long until they reach you?
Please makes plans to attend the meeting at Wilderness Lake Campground tonight, June 16, at 6:30.
And huge thanks to Mr. Tulis, who is compiling this map and offered to share it in its unfinished form.
