Approximately between 1993 and 1998. The airport was last depicted on the 1993 Sectional Aeronautical Chart and was no longer present on the 1998 chart.
The specific reason is not officially documented, but it is presumed to be due to economic factors and land redevelopment. The airport was a private field owned by the Millard family, who also operated the adjacent Millard Lime & Stone quarry. The land was likely repurposed for the expansion of the quarry and related industrial operations after the airport was no longer actively used by the family.
The airport site has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as an airfield. The land is now part of the large Pennsy Supply Inc. Annville Quarry and industrial complex (Pennsy Supply acquired Millard Lime & Stone). The former runway, hangars, and airport grounds are now occupied by industrial buildings, material storage yards, and vehicle parking lots. The faint outline of the former runway is partially visible from satellite imagery, but no airport infrastructure remains.
Millard Airport, also known as Millard Air Park, was a private general aviation airport established sometime between 1945 and 1949. It was owned and operated by the Millard family, proprietors of the successful Millard Lime & Stone company. Initially featuring a 2,000-foot turf runway, it was later paved with asphalt and extended to 2,300 feet. The airport primarily served private pilots, including the owner George Millard, and likely supported the family's business interests in the Annville area for nearly 50 years.
There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The site has been fully and irreversibly converted to heavy industrial use, making a return to aviation activities impossible.
