Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2010-2012. The heliport was listed as closed in aviation databases around this time. Analysis of historical satellite imagery confirms this timeframe, showing the painted helipad markings were visible in 2009 but had completely disappeared by 2012, indicating it was decommissioned.

Reason for Closure

Operational redundancy and consolidation of medical services. The heliport was located at a medical clinic, but the main Fisher-Titus Medical Center, just 1.5 miles away, operates a larger, more modern, and still-active heliport (Fisher-Titus Medical Center Heliport, FAA LID: 5OI2). It is highly probable that all air ambulance operations were centralized at the main hospital's superior facility for economic and logistical efficiency, rendering the smaller Valley View Heliport obsolete.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport is now a simple grass lawn. It is located behind the medical office building (part of the Fisher-Titus Health system) at 368 Milan Avenue, Norwalk, OH. There are no remaining physical traces of the heliport; all markings and associated infrastructure have been removed, and the land is maintained as part of the property's landscaping.

Historical Significance

Valley View Heliport was a private-use heliport with a purely functional, local significance. Its primary, and likely only, operation was to handle medical evacuation (medevac) and patient transfer flights for the on-site medical facility. Air ambulance services would use the heliport to rapidly transport critical patients. The facility itself was minimal, consisting of a 40x40 foot turf landing pad marked with a painted 'H'. The identifier US-10075 is not an official ICAO code but a private/database identifier; historical records indicate the owner once requested the heliport not be included on aviation charts, suggesting a move towards decommissioning even before its final closure.

Reopening Prospects

Virtually zero. The reason for its closure—the existence of a better-equipped, primary heliport at the main hospital nearby—remains valid. There is no operational or financial incentive to reopen a secondary, less-equipped heliport. No plans for its reopening have ever been announced.
