The airport was closed between 1998 and 2004. It was listed in the 1998 Airport/Facility Directory but was no longer depicted on the 2004 aeronautical charts. Aerial imagery confirms the runway was still visible in 2002 but had been plowed over and returned to farmland by 2006, suggesting a closure date around 2002-2004.
While no official reason was published, the closure is consistent with economic factors typical for small, private airfields. The operator, an agricultural aviation company, likely ceased operations or relocated, and the land was converted back to its more profitable use as farmland.
The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows cultivated fields. There are no remaining visible traces of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure.
Ag-Alley Airport was a private airfield that served as the base for 'Ag-Air,' an agricultural aviation company. Its primary role was supporting the local farming community in Wayne County through aerial application services like crop dusting and spraying. The airport featured a single 2,200-foot unpaved turf runway, designated 1/19. It was a functional, purpose-built facility essential to the local agricultural economy of its time.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Ag-Alley Airport. The land has been actively farmed for approximately two decades, and its conversion back to an airfield is considered highly improbable.
