Southwire Heliport

The closure was not due to a specific incident, accident, or military conversion. As a private corporate facility, its closure was the result of a business decision by Southwire Company. The most likely reasons include a change in corporate transportation strategy, the divestment of their helicopter assets, a shift to using the nearby West Georgia Regional Airport (KCTJ) for all corporate travel, or a campus redevelopment project that repurposed the land. Ultimately, it was closed for private economic and operational reasons.

The site of the former heliport has been completely redeveloped. It is now a large, manicured lawn and green space that is part of the Southwire corporate headquarters campus. There are no remaining traces of aviation infrastructure, such as landing pads, markings, or lighting. The land is fully integrated into the corporate landscape for aesthetic or recreational use by employees.

Southwire Heliport was a private heliport owned and operated by Southwire Company, a major North American wire and cable manufacturer, at its corporate headquarters in Carrollton, GA. Its primary function was to support corporate operations by providing rapid point-to-point air transport for executives, key personnel, and clients. It allowed for efficient travel, bypassing road traffic to reach other company sites, manufacturing plants, or major commercial airports like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The heliport's existence underscored the logistical capabilities and corporate stature of Southwire during its period of operation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The land has been repurposed, and Southwire's current aviation needs are well-served by the nearby West Georgia Regional Airport (KCTJ), which can accommodate a wide range of corporate aircraft. Re-establishing a heliport at the headquarters would require significant investment and recertification for a purpose the company has evidently moved away from. Therefore, the prospect of it reopening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
