Blast Off Heliport

The specific reason is not publicly documented. However, the heliport was a private facility serving the Olin Corporation chemical plant. The closure was likely due to internal corporate decisions, such as changes in transportation needs, cost-reduction measures, or evolving safety and security protocols at the industrial site.

The heliport itself is defunct and no longer exists as a marked or maintained aviation facility. The site at these coordinates is an active and operational industrial plant owned by the Olin Corporation. While there are open, paved areas within the plant's perimeter that could theoretically support a helicopter landing, there is no designated public or private heliport in operation.

The heliport holds no major public or historical significance. It was a private-use heliport located on the property of the Olin Corporation's chemical manufacturing plant in Bay Minette. Its operations were exclusively for the benefit of the plant, likely handling executive transport, emergency medical services access to a potentially hazardous industrial location, or for aerial security and site surveys. The informal name 'Blast Off Heliport' is likely a reference to Olin's other major business line as the parent company of Winchester Ammunition.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening. Any decision to re-establish a heliport at this location would be at the sole discretion of the Olin Corporation for its private operational needs. It would not be a public-use facility.
