Kroy-Osceola Heliport

Economic reasons. The heliport was a private facility owned by Kroy Industries. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2001 and its assets were later sold. The new owners did not continue to operate the heliport, leading to its permanent closure.

The site is now an industrial and manufacturing complex. The original Kroy Industries building at 301 Kroy Drive is now occupied by other companies, most notably SMC Ltd., a global pneumatics and automation components manufacturer. There are no visible remnants of the helipad; the area has been fully integrated into the facility's parking lots and grounds.

The Kroy-Osceola Heliport was a private corporate heliport located at the headquarters of Kroy Industries, a prominent manufacturer of lettering machines, label printers, and wire marking systems. During its operational years, it likely handled executive transport and other corporate aviation needs, reflecting a time when on-site aviation facilities were a symbol of corporate success. Its existence was solely tied to the business operations of the Kroy company.

None. The heliport is permanently closed and defunct. It was a private asset of a former company, and the current industrial occupants have no stated need or plans to re-establish an aviation facility at this location.
