Port Authority Use of the Borough Gun Range
Summary
The council split 3-3 on whether to even negotiate with the Port Authority over sharing the borough's police firing range. Supporters point to Port Authority money for sound barriers and mandatory suppressors that have cut noise; opponents say the range was promised to Sayreville police only and worry about noise for residents near Laurel Park.

Impact analysis
The Port Authority has signaled willingness to invest significant money in range improvements if an agreement is reached.
Residents near the range could see noise reductions if the deal funds sound walls and tree buffers.
Residents near Laurel Park and the range could face increased gunfire noise if 2,200 Port Authority officers train there.
