The airport was closed for aircraft service in 1981. However it was bought by Hersheypark which considered reopening it multiple times in the 1990s and early 2000s. The park maintained the airport until 2016 when the field was abandoned and the remains of the main terminal building and hangars were demolished. (en) |
