Uhrich Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small private airfields. However, the closure was likely due to a combination of factors, including the land's increasing value for agriculture and the expansion of the nearby, larger, and publicly-owned Greeley-Weld County Airport (KGXY), which could better serve the region's aviation needs. The land was subsequently reverted to agricultural use.

The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Modern satellite imagery shows the area is now a large, center-pivot irrigated farm field. There are no visible remnants of the former runways, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure.

Uhrich Airport was a private general aviation airfield that was established sometime between 1949 and 1954. It was operated by 'Martin-Uhrich' and served the local Greeley aviation community. According to the 1962 AOPA Airport Directory, it featured two turf runways: a 2,600-foot Runway 16/34 and a 2,200-foot Runway 8/26. It is notable as the *original* Uhrich Airport; after it closed, the name was reused for a second private airfield located further east of Greeley, which has also since closed.

None. The land has been actively farmed for over 50 years and is fully integrated into the surrounding agricultural landscape. There are no known plans or prospects for the site to be re-established as an airport.
