Approximately late 2000s to early 2010s. While an exact date is not officially recorded, the airstrip was de-listed from the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) and other aviation databases during this period. The land was redeveloped starting in the mid-2010s, confirming its closure well before then.
Sale and redevelopment of the land. White's Airstrip was a private field. The land was sold and subsequently developed into a commercial solar energy facility, making the continuation of airport operations impossible. The closure was not due to a specific accident or military conversion.
The site of the former airstrip has been completely repurposed. It is now the location of the White Mills Solar Project, a large, utility-scale solar farm. All traces of the runway, hangars, and other aviation-related infrastructure have been removed and replaced with rows of solar panels. The land is used exclusively for renewable energy generation.
White's Airstrip was a small, private aerodrome serving the general aviation community in Prince Edward County. It featured a single unpaved turf runway, estimated to be around 2,200 feet long, oriented roughly east-west. Its operations were limited to small, single-engine private aircraft for recreational purposes under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The airstrip held no significant commercial or military importance but was a functional landing area for local pilots and a known landmark in the regional aviation community.
Zero. There are no plans or prospects for reopening White's Airstrip. The land has been permanently and completely redeveloped for a long-term industrial purpose (solar farm), which makes reverting the site to aviation use physically and economically infeasible.
