Zimmerman Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the evidence strongly points to economic reasons. The airstrip was located on private farmland, and the land was likely converted to full agricultural use as it became more valuable for cultivation than for private aviation. This type of closure often occurs when the property owner who flew either ceases aviation activities, sells the land, or passes away.

The site is now completely agricultural land. The former north-south turf runway has been fully reclaimed for farming and is used for crop cultivation. While a very faint outline of the former runway can sometimes be discerned in satellite imagery depending on crop patterns and time of year, there are no remaining aviation facilities, markings, or infrastructure. The associated farm buildings to the west of the former strip remain.

Zimmerman Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. Its significance was purely local, serving the personal and/or agricultural needs of its owner. Operations would have been limited to light general aviation aircraft, such as single-engine planes. It likely supported private recreational flying or farm-related activities. It did not handle commercial, scheduled, or military operations and held no wider public or historical significance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Zimmerman Airport. The land is privately owned and has been in continuous agricultural use for over two decades. Re-establishing an airport at this location would be economically unfeasible and is considered highly unlikely.
