Approximately between 1979 and 1982. The airport was depicted on the 1979 Albany Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 1982 chart. The last known aerial photo showing the airport in operation was from 1978.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented, but it is attributed to economic factors and land development. The land was sold and redeveloped into the Glenville Business and Technology Park. The proximity to the larger, publicly-owned Schenectady County Airport (KSCH), located just a few miles east, likely made it difficult for a small, private airfield to remain economically viable.
The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped and is now the Glenville Business and Technology Park. There is no trace of the former runway or any aviation facilities. The area is occupied by commercial and industrial buildings, roads, and parking lots. The coordinates provided (42.868099, -74.028702) fall directly within this modern business park.
Mohawk Valley Airport was a private general aviation airfield established sometime between 1947 and 1950. It served the local aviation community for about 30 years. When active, it featured a single unpaved, turf runway (Runway 10/28) that was approximately 2,250 feet long. Operations primarily consisted of private flying, flight training, and aircraft storage. It was a typical small, post-war American airfield, home to light aircraft such as Piper Cubs and similar models. The airport was listed in various aviation directories and on sectional charts throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully and irreversibly converted to commercial and industrial use, making a return to aviation activities infeasible.
