Nevada County Sheriff's Office Indoor Firearms Range and Training Facility

The County of Nevada plans to build a new 14,200-square-foot, single-story Regional Law Enforcement Indoor Shooting Range on its existing Sheriff’s Office Regional Training and Dispatch Facility property in Nevada City. The facility will feature a 12-lane, 50-yard indoor firing range equipped with variable lighting and movable target systems, along with an armory, secure ammunition and equipment storage, instructor offices, and restrooms. This project aims to provide a modern, secure training environment to meet state-mandated firearms proficiency standards for the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office and neighboring law enforcement agencies. The site is zoned Public by the City of Nevada City and is surrounded by State Route 49 to the north, the Nevada City Elks Lodge to the east, residential areas along American Hill Road to the south, and County-owned open space to the west. The project is forecasted under the agency name Nevada County, with the place of performance located in Nevada City, California, ZIP code 95959. Sean Scales, Sheriff Captain, serves as the primary point of contact and can be reached via phone or email for inquiries. Though no solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned, the project is publicly listed on the CEQA Net portal, indicating it is in the planning and regulatory review phase ahead of procurement. The location ensures compatibility with existing county operations while addressing community and safety concerns through controlled access and secure design in a zoned public area.
