A controversial firing range proposal is still alive after a months-long hiatus from the public spotlight.
The potential outdoor shooting range venture called Dead Zero Shooting is back on the Chattanooga Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency docket for Dec. 12, as indicated by a sign on Retro Hughes Road last week and confirmed by agency documents.
Justin Whaley and Wade Batson are seeking a special permit to open the range on 184 acres of Bakewell Mountain in northwest Hamilton County owned by Atlanta- based Walden Ridge LLC.
However, first the RPA must approve the special permit, and many area landowners are speaking out against the proposal.
