Pace Field

The specific reason for closure is not documented in public records. As a small, private-use airfield, the closure was likely due to personal reasons of the owner, such as the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, or the owner's passing. It was not closed due to military conversion, a major accident, or broad economic factors affecting public airports.

The site of the former Pace Field has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use, primarily as pasture or farmland. The faint, linear outline of the former runway is still visible in satellite imagery as a slight discoloration in the vegetation, but it is no longer a functional aviation surface. There are no remaining airport infrastructure elements like hangars or markings.

Pace Field was a private turf airstrip with no significant historical role in national or commercial aviation. Its importance was purely local, serving as a personal airfield for its owner. When active, it featured a single grass runway, estimated to be approximately 2,200 feet long, oriented roughly north-northwest/south-southeast (NNW/SSE). Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine general aviation aircraft for recreational or possibly agricultural purposes.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Pace Field. The land is privately owned and has been integrated into surrounding agricultural operations for several years. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant private investment and initiative from the current landowner and is considered highly unlikely.
