Approximately 2004-2005. The airport was still depicted on aeronautical charts and listed in directories in the early 2000s. However, aerial photography from 2005 clearly shows the runway area had been plowed over and returned to agricultural use.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, the evidence strongly suggests economic factors and the private owner's decision to repurpose the land. The site was immediately converted back into a farm field, a common outcome for small, privately-owned general aviation airports in rural areas that are no longer financially sustainable or when the land becomes more valuable for other uses like agriculture.
The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery confirms that the area is now an active farm field, with crops planted directly over the former runway footprint. All airport infrastructure, including any hangars or service buildings, has been removed. Depending on the season and crop growth, a very faint outline of the former north-south runway can sometimes still be discerned in aerial photos.
Tri-Center Airport (FAA: 41C) was a small, privately-owned general aviation airport established sometime before 1970. It served the local community for recreational flying and possibly some agricultural aviation. Its operations were limited to light aircraft. The facility consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its significance was purely local, providing an aviation facility for the rural area around Loganville, and it never handled commercial traffic or had major historical events associated with it.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Tri-Center Airport. The land is privately owned and has been actively farmed for nearly two decades. Given the complete conversion of the land and the lack of any public or commercial demand, the prospect of re-establishing an airport at this location is extremely low to non-existent.
