Bates Trail

Hickman County leaders in Tennessee are holding a special meeting to address Fairview’s plan to build a police training facility and gun range on Bates Trail. Nearby residents oppose the project due to concerns over noise, safety, and lack of transparency, with some claiming they were unaware of the project’s nature until recent reporting.

The City of Fairview began constructing a police training facility and gun ranges in Hickman County, Tennessee, without prior notice to nearby residents. Neighbors expressed shock and concern over noise, safety risks, and lack of public input, as the project proceeded under agricultural zoning rules that bypassed county approval.
