Norwood Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the closure was most likely due to economic or personal reasons for the private owner. These typically include the sale of the property, retirement of the owner, prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance, or the land being repurposed for more profitable use, such as agriculture.

The site is now private property and has been converted into agricultural land. Satellite imagery clearly shows that the former runway area is now part of a cultivated farm field. The faint outline of the airstrip is still slightly visible from the air. A local road adjacent to the site retains the name 'Airport Road', serving as the primary public reminder of the former aerodrome.

Norwood Airport was a small, private aerodrome, not a public commercial airport. Its significance was purely local. It featured a single turf and gravel runway (Runway 10/28) approximately 2,600 feet long. The airport primarily served general aviation, catering to private pilots and small personal aircraft. It may have also supported some local agricultural aviation (crop dusting). It did not handle any scheduled passenger or cargo operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully integrated into agricultural use, and reopening would require significant investment to purchase the land and reconstruct all aviation facilities. Given its history as a small private strip, there is likely insufficient demand to justify such an effort.
