The utah division of wildlife resources cache valley public shooting range HA need for adequate storage space for the indoor archery range

The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 awarded $106,667 to the State of Utah, Division of Wildlife Resources under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) on October 1, 2025. The grant funds the construction of a 10-foot by 20-foot lean-to storage structure adjacent to the Cache Valley Public Shooting Range's indoor archery facility. This structure will provide secure and safe storage for indoor archery range equipment, addressing critical facility infrastructure needs at the public shooting range.

The grant supports the Wildlife Restoration program's mandate to enhance public access to recreational shooting opportunities and maintain shooting range infrastructure. Funding derives from federal excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment deposited into the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund and distributed to eligible state agencies through a legislative formula. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026, and represents a standard infrastructure improvement aligned with the program's emphasis on shooting sports facility development and maintenance across state fish and wildlife agencies.

This grant would provide funding to construct a new ten foot by twenty foot lean to type storage structure adjacent to the exterior wall of the indoor archery range. This would give adequate safe and secure storage for the indoor archery range equipment.
