History
editGoliad NOLF was originally built by the United States Navy in the 1970s as Chase Naval Air Station Auxiliary Landing Field Berclair and served as an auxiliary airfield for flight training operations at Naval Air Station Chase Field near Beeville, Texas. The airfield was closed as a result of the 1993 Base Realignment and Closure Commission that also resulted in the closing of NAS Chase Field. Goliad County purchased the airfield from the U.S. Navy for $1 in 1999 as surplus property and redeveloped the property as Goliad County Industrial Airpark (FAA LID: 7T3), which was a county-owned, public-use airport. The airport was included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2] The United States Navy repurchased the field from Goliad County in 2011 for $2.3 million (equivalent to $3.1 million in 2023).[3]
