Gun range coming to Carmel?

[T.Lex]

Here's a good depiction of the site. North is to the right, and the current active construction is in the top right corner.

Point Blank is going to be in the bottom left corner, along City Center Drive.

OK thanks.

Wow that's amazing, I will be surprised if it goes through. Hope it does, that's close for me as well.

 

[indyharleyguy]

Talked to the Carmel office for building permits today... They said the paperwork is sitting in the office waiting for Point Blank.

 

[indyharleyguy]

T.Lex any news on your end?

 

[T.Lex]

Oy vey.

The Point Blank website has Carmel as "Coming soon."
Point Blank Carmel | Point Blank Indoor Shooting Range & Gun Shop | Cincinnati Ohio

There are mixed reports about the permits. Some are telling me that they are "held up" with the City. Others are telling me that the city is waiting for Point Blank to complete the permit process. I've also heard that the permits are issued.

I don't know what the actual status of the permits are, and I'll politely decline to speculate on it for now.

Not only mowed, but today I noticed some stakes had been placed and marked around the perimeter of the lot.

Today there was a big excavator on site and it had dug up some ground!!! YAHOO!!!
Now were're starting to see some work!!

 

[indyharleyguy]

Well a little more movement today. They are taking a few trees down now.

I will be working on the project. Ground was 'broken' yesterday to get some soil samples from the pond area because they need to use it to fill the building pad. I collected the samples today. Progress will begin probably next week after the owner decides how they want to proceed with the soft soils...(decide on $$$ vs. time)

 

[indyharleyguy]

Great hope you keep us all posted. I for one can't wait for it to open!! I'm only about 1.5 miles from it.

 

[jagee]

I'll try to keep updates ongoing as info becomes available.

I work right across the street. I may have to stop by and say hello over lunch.

I won't be there every day. I'm the project manager for the testing/inspection company. If we have anyone on site it will likely be one of our technicians, but if there is an issue or something I'll go out and give my opinion.

 

[indyharleyguy]

Just drove by the site. Earth movers have removed all the sod. Can't wait to watch the progress of it going up!!

I wonder when applications will open.

What exactly happened? Have lived in Carmel for 17 years and still don't know the story.

Edmo unfortunately lost his license thanks to his now ex-wife and an wonderful government dolt named Lautenberg.
