Galesburg Police Open New Fire Range Building
Construction of the Galesburg Police Department's new pistol range training building is now complete.

The department held a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday with Mayor Sal Garza and Representative Don Moffitt in attendance.

Captain Rodney Riggs tells WGIL the old building had been there since 1957.

"That was a building that was donated by Knox College and taken out to the pistol range at that time, so it was an old building then. When we got it in '57 it was just wore out, we need a new one."

The Pistol Range building is used by several government departments.

It was partially funded through an Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Grant.
