La Coste Construction County Airport

The closure was for economic and land-use reasons. The airport was a private field owned by La Coste Construction Co. The company repurposed the land for its primary business needs, converting the runway and surrounding area into an industrial storage and operations yard. This is a common fate for private airfields located on valuable industrial property, where the land becomes more valuable for business expansion than for aviation.

The site is currently used as an industrial yard. The land is completely occupied by industrial operations, including the open-air storage of construction materials, vehicles, and heavy equipment. While the faint outline of the former runway is still visible from satellite imagery, it is completely obstructed and integrated into the surrounding industrial complex. The property appears to be part of the active operations of a construction or materials company.

La Coste Construction County Airport was a private airfield that served its owner, La Coste Construction Co. It was not a public airport and did not handle scheduled commercial flights. Its primary operation was to support the company's business, likely for executive transport or the rapid movement of personnel and small equipment. The facility consisted of a single paved north-south runway (designated 17/35) measuring approximately 3,000 feet in length. It was not depicted on most public aeronautical charts for much of its existence, highlighting its private nature.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully and permanently repurposed for industrial use. Re-establishing an airfield would require the complete removal of the existing industrial infrastructure and materials, making it economically and logistically infeasible. The site's value as an industrial lot far exceeds its potential as a private airstrip.
