Approximately late 2013 to early 2014. The heliport was privately owned and operated by Dean Dammon, who passed away in October 2013. Private aviation facilities of this nature are typically decommissioned following the death of the primary owner/operator.
The closure was due to the heliport being a private facility whose owner and sole operator passed away. There was no longer a need or an operator for the heliport, leading to its permanent closure. This was not due to economic failure, accidents, or military conversion.
The site is a private residential property. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the physical infrastructure, including the circular concrete helipad, remains intact on the lawn next to a large outbuilding. However, it is no longer a registered or operational heliport and is considered defunct. The land serves purely as part of the residential estate.
Dammon Heliport was a private-use heliport with no significant public or commercial historical importance. Its existence was tied to its owner, Dean Dammon, founder of a local business. The facility consisted of a concrete helipad and likely a hangar on a private residential estate. It served as a base for the owner's personal and/or business-related helicopter flights, a common practice for successful business owners with an interest in aviation.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Dammon Heliport. As the heliport is on private property, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on the current or a future landowner's desire to operate a helicopter and their ability to get the facility re-certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). For all practical purposes, it is permanently closed.
