Laurie's Landing Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. As a privately owned, private-use airfield, the closure was likely due to personal reasons of the owner. Common factors for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, the high cost of maintenance and insurance, or the owner's passing.

The site is no longer a functional airport. The land where the turf runway was located has reverted to a pasture or unmaintained field. While the faint outline of the former runway is still visible in satellite views, it is completely overgrown. A private residence and a large building, likely the original hangar, still exist on the property at the north end of the former airstrip. The land is currently used for private residential and likely light agricultural purposes.

Laurie's Landing was a small, private general aviation airport. Its significance was primarily local and personal to its owner, Laurie A. Bennett, after whom it was named. When active, it featured a single turf runway (designated 18/36) approximately 2,000 feet in length. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine propeller aircraft (such as Cessnas or Pipers) used for recreational flying by the owner and potentially other permitted local pilots. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Laurie's Landing Airport. Given that it has been closed for many years and the land has been repurposed, reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require the current landowner to have a significant interest in aviation and be willing to invest in clearing the land, restoring the runway surface, and completing the necessary FAA certifications to reactivate it, even for private use.
