Cape Cod Range Review Revisited | Boston News

The military’s pushing forward with a long-debated machine gun range plan on Cape Cod, despite it being rejected since 1989—this time spending another million dollars on a new environmental review. Critics call it a “zombie project,” frustrated that taxpayer money is wasted on repeated reviews, especially after the EPA flagged serious risks to the local aquifer. While some officials suspect the review is just a formality, environmental advocates like Andrew Gottlieb trust the National Academies of Science to deliver an independent, science-based assessment. The Army National Guard vows to balance training needs with environmental protection, and public sessions are now underway as communities watch closely for any sign of progress—or more delays.
