The Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation and real estate mogul John Arrillaga have offered the money to spruce up the deteriorating range that first opened in 1962. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors accepted the donation at its Tuesday meeting.
Goals are to reduce the noise generated by the range and increase safety, according to a staff report by Sheriff Greg Munks.
The new facility will be called the “Siebel San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Firearms Range.” Siebel’s foundation is donating $3 million and Arrillaga is donating $2 million.
“The Sheriff’s Office is very excited about the Coyote Point Shooting Range renovation. Our current facility is over 50 years old. This renovation will create an indoor facility that will provide enhanced training while significantly reducing noise pollution to park visitors. At its completion this will be a state of the art building that will train law enforcement for many years to be better prepared as they serve our communities,” Undersheriff Carlos Bolanos wrote in a statement.
