Between 1995 and 2004. Aerial imagery confirms the airport was operational with an aircraft on-site in 1995. By 2004, the hangar had been removed and the runway area was being plowed for agricultural use.
The specific reason is not officially documented, but evidence strongly suggests it was due to private economic decisions. As a small, privately-owned turf airfield, common reasons for closure include the owner's retirement or death, the sale of the land, or the rising costs of maintenance and insurance. The immediate conversion of the land back to farmland indicates it was no longer desired or viable as an airfield for its owner.
The site has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land where the runway and hangar once stood is now an active farm field, used for crop cultivation. There are no visible remnants of the former airport infrastructure.
Clark Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield with no significant commercial or military history. Its operations were limited to serving its owner and possibly other local private pilots. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved, north/south turf runway, estimated to be approximately 2,200 feet long, with a small hangar on the west side. It primarily handled light, single-engine aircraft for recreational and personal transportation purposes. Its significance was purely local.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and has been fully converted to another economic use (agriculture). Re-establishing an airport on this site would require repurchasing the land and constructing all infrastructure from scratch, for which there is no apparent demand.
