Statesboro City Council will convene for a special called meeting Wednesday to finalize an agreement regarding Georgia Southern University’s planned shooting and archery complex. According to a council packet released Friday, city leaders will meet at 9 a.m. Wednesday in City Hall to consider “an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Statesboro and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia by and on behalf of Georgia Southern University.”The agreement sets terms regarding city use of the nearly $7 million Shooting Sports Education Center planned for construction by the university. Earlier this month, the council pledged $500,000 in support of the center, a complex that is more than 28,000 square feet planned to feature a 16-lane indoor firearms range and a 16-lane archery range, plus an Olympic-class outdoor archery range.
