Our "Vision Project" is a plan, currently in progress, that will ultimately end up giving us new facilities.
A new building with indoor ranges, a conference room, an office, restrooms and a kitchen area has been completed.
Yet to be started is Phase II of the project
Phase II will give us new outdoor ranges and a new parking area.

Our “Vision” project was officially approved by the State of Michigan on 12Apr22.
The construction contract was awarded to Moyle Construction on 20Apr22
The pre-construction meeting was held at 10:00 AM on Fri, 6May, at the LSSC facilities.
Present were representatives from LSSC, the State, the state’s prime design contractor, NFE, and OHM, a sub-contractor to NFE, and the construction contractor, Moyle Construction. The weather was great and the meeting was held outside rather than in the archery room as planned.
After the pre-con meeting, about 11:00 AM, a ground breaking ceremony was held at the new construction site. Many of the same persons attended.
​
Below are some photos of the pre-construction meeting and the groundbreaking.
