Noble County Airport, also known as Mike Brienza Field[4], (FAA LID: I10) is a public use airport located 3 nautical miles north of Caldwell, Ohio.[1]
History
Construction on a 4,000-foot (1,200 m) runway had begun by late July 1964.[5] The airport was dedicated on 25 October 1964.[6] When it was completed, it was the first small airport built under Governor Jim Rhodes and the impetus for his larger plan for every county in the state to have an airport.[7][8] By 1968, the airport was being used by strip mining companies and contractors building I-77.[9]
A proposal in February 1979 to build a communications tower was opposed by the airport authority.[10]
Caldwell village council agreed to seal the runway in October 1983.[11] A contract to repair the non-runway paved surfaces was awarded in August 1986.[12]
The runway was again repaved in October 1992.[13]
A series of improvements were made to the fly-in camp area were made in 2020 and 2024.[14][15] A 2026 state grant provided for the replacement of the runway lighting.[16]
