U.S. Army Halts Lewis Cannon Testing in Adirondacks Due to Safety Risks
The U.S. Army has ceased its contract for cannon testing in the Adirondacks due to safety concerns regarding projectiles potentially hitting state roads.

The Adirondack Park Agency is reviewing the proposed testing range, which has faced multiple setbacks and allegations of ethical conflicts. The hearing is set for April 22, 2023, but ongoing legal challenges may delay it further.
