According to A.C. Donnell, this private airport was built to support a desert subdivision.

In Donnell's words, “In the 1970's there was a huge desert subdivision that some enterprising - and decidedly optimistic - bunch of people built.

The idea was to develop an up-scale retirement community (probably, it is my guess, with a Palm Springs aura in mind).”
