The exact date of closure is not available in public records. However, the heliport is listed as 'permanently closed' in aviation databases. Given that it was a private facility, it likely ceased operations and was delisted from FAA records when the owner either sold the property, no longer owned a helicopter, or chose not to maintain its registration, likely sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s.
The heliport was a private-use facility located at a residential property. The closure was not due to any known accident, military conversion, or broad economic downturn. The most probable reason is a change in the personal circumstances of the owner, such as selling the property or ceasing private helicopter operations.
The site of the former heliport is now exclusively a private residential estate. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (40.527199, -75.077497) shows a large home with landscaped grounds. The clearing that likely served as the landing and takeoff area is now a simple lawn, with no visible markings, lighting, or other aviation infrastructure remaining.
Brigham Heliport had no major historical significance in a public or commercial sense. It was a private heliport, designated for the personal use of the property's owner. Operations would have consisted of a privately-owned helicopter transporting the owner and guests to and from the residence. The ICAO code 'US-10245' is a non-standard identifier, often used by third-party data aggregators for facilities not in the primary FAA or international systems, which further underscores its private and limited nature.
There are no known plans or prospects for the heliport to reopen. Any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on a current or future owner of the private property deciding to operate a helicopter from the site and successfully completing the necessary registration and certification process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and local authorities.
