The FAST Center in Graysville, Pa. is the place to go for those that need firearm training to learn how to properly use their weapons. Their mission is to empower people with the required skill sets and confidence to protect themselves, colleagues, and others in the case of an active shooter drill. They have combined forces with Greene County to provide training to anyone in Greene County.
“It is a really cool place that the county is working to grow into the community,” says Greene County Commissioner Betsy McClure. “Captain Tim Nease is interested in meeting and discussing his plans for the center to include groups like The Boy Scouts of America and the Young Marines.”
Getting these groups involved from a very young age allows gun safety to be taught early, so that these kids are more prepared and more able to react in a crisis.
It also creates a great opportunity for the County to bring people together, while teaching them life lessons that they need. McClure alluded to the fact that the County is planning on using the facility for things like team building and other activities.
“Initially, the county will be using the facility as team building for the Human Services staff,” McClure says. “We want to show what an asset the center can be for the county due to its multiple uses.”
The FAST Center also plans to construct cabins on the property to draw more tourists into Greene County. In addition to the cabins and camping facilities, they will offer numerous family-friendly activities, such as archery tag, axe throwing, hiking, fishing, firearms training, and team building exercises. The center recently held a grand reopening in May with many of these activities, refreshments, music, and more.
