Circa late 1990s. The airport was depicted as a private airfield on the 1993 Washington Sectional Chart, a change from its previous public-use status. By the early 2000s (circa 2002-2005), aerial photography shows the site being used for storage and the beginning of industrial construction, indicating a final closure in the intervening years.
Primarily economic reasons. The airport was a privately-owned facility, and the land became more valuable for industrial development than for general aviation operations. It was sold and subsequently redeveloped into an industrial park to support the growing commercial needs of the Hanover area.
The site has been completely redeveloped and is now the Hanover Industrial Park. Large industrial and logistics buildings, associated with companies like Hanover Foods and others, have been constructed directly over the western half of the former runway and taxiway areas. The remaining, visible eastern portion of the runway pavement is used for storing truck trailers and other industrial equipment. The site is no longer recognizable as an airport from the ground.
Historically known as Devener Airport or Devener Field, it was a classic post-WWII general aviation airport established sometime between 1945 and 1949. For decades, it served the local community of Hanover, Pennsylvania, as a hub for private pilots, flight instruction, aircraft maintenance, and business flying. It featured a single paved runway (10/28) approximately 2,640 feet long. While it never handled major commercial or military traffic, it was an important local asset for the region's private aviation community.
None. The airport is permanently closed. The extensive and permanent industrial development, including the construction of large buildings directly on the former airport grounds, makes any prospect of reopening as an aviation facility impossible.
