JW Stone Airport

Economic reasons and land redevelopment. As a small, private airfield, its operation was likely dependent on the owner. The land was ultimately sold and repurposed for a more profitable commercial use. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident or military conversion.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is now the location of the Middlesex Solar Farm, a large-scale photovoltaic power station. Construction of the solar farm began around 2014, obliterating all traces of the former runway, hangars, and any other aviation-related structures. The entire footprint of the former airport is now covered in solar panels.

JW Stone Airport was a private general aviation airfield named after its owner, J.W. Stone. It became operational sometime before 1987, the year it first appeared on aeronautical charts. The facility consisted of a single unpaved 3,000-foot turf runway (Runway 18/36). It primarily served private pilots for recreational flying and potentially supported local agricultural or business-related aviation activities in rural Nash County. It was never a major public transport hub and did not have an IATA code.

None. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for industrial-scale energy production. The significant capital investment in the solar farm infrastructure makes any prospect of reopening the airport infeasible.
