Official says trail plan will not close Canton Gun Club
Summary
A speaker at the Canton meeting told commissioners that proposed river-trail planning will not include closing the Canton Gun Club and that other city-owned land could host trail connections; the speaker plans to notify the gun club directly.
A city official told the Canton City Commission that plans to extend a river trail across city-owned land will not include closing the Canton Gun Club. The speaker said they had reviewed older trail plans, coordinated with the trail committee and other city staff, and concluded the trail could be routed across other city land rather than through the gun club.
The speaker described contacting the trail committee and nearby community groups and said the gun club is “a good asset for our community, the police department, the sheriff’s department.” The official said they do not plan to close the gun club to build the trail and will notify club leaders directly.
The discussion was exploratory and focused on route options on land owned by the city; no formal motion or change to city property status occurred during the meeting. The speaker said there are multiple possible alignments and that staff will continue outreach with the trail committee and the gun club as planning proceeds.
