Grand Valley Airfield

Land redevelopment for energy production. The property was repurposed for the construction of the Grand Valley Solar Farm, a large-scale photovoltaic power station. This represents an economic decision where the land became more valuable for renewable energy generation than for private aviation.

The site is fully occupied by the Grand Valley Solar Farm. The entire area of the former runway and airfield has been covered with thousands of ground-mounted solar panels and related energy infrastructure. All visible traces of the airfield have been completely obliterated.

Grand Valley Airfield was a small, private aerodrome serving the general aviation community. It featured a single turf runway (Runway 14/32) approximately 2,600 feet long. The airfield was used primarily by local pilots for recreational flying and was not equipped for commercial, cargo, or military operations. Its significance was to provide a convenient, local landing strip for private aircraft owners in the rural area of Dufferin County.

Zero. The site has been permanently and comprehensively redeveloped into a major energy-producing facility. Reverting the land to an airfield would require the complete removal of the multi-million dollar solar farm and would be economically and logistically prohibitive. There are no plans or prospects for it to ever operate as an airport again.
