Silver City Airpark

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to private owner-related reasons, such as the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, or the rising costs of maintenance, insurance, and taxes making it economically unviable to continue operations.

The site is now private property. The former turf runway has been completely reclaimed by nature and is overgrown with mature trees and dense vegetation, making it unusable as an airfield. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from satellite imagery, on the ground it is indistinguishable from the surrounding wooded area. The land appears to be used for residential and recreational purposes.

Silver City Airpark (formerly carrying the FAA Location Identifier 42MI) was a privately-owned, private-use general aviation airfield. Established sometime between 1976 and 1980, it featured a single 2,200-foot turf runway aligned north-south (Runway 18/36). Its operations were limited to serving its owner and possibly other local pilots with small, light aircraft suitable for short, unpaved strips. It held no major commercial or military significance, but was representative of the many small, private grass strips that supported recreational aviation in the latter half of the 20th century.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Silver City Airpark. Given that the land is privately owned and the former runway area would require extensive clearing and reconstruction, a revival of the airport is considered highly improbable and economically unfeasible.
