If one were to identify the "newest" public use
GA airport, what year did it open? Sometimes in the 1970s? 1980s?

In my neck of the woods (AZ), Williams Gateway airport (formerly Williams
AFB) opened as a public use facility in the 90s. In the "completely new"
category, Lake Havasu, AZ closed their old lakeside airport and and built a
completely new facility outside of town, also back in the 90s. I liked the
old one better :-) Bullhead City, AZ built a new airport on the site of
their old airport.

Socialism lives on in some GOP areas:

"What is now the Bolingbrook Clow International Airport was acquired
by the Village of
Bolingbrook in 2004. Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport was
built originally in the
late 1950's by Oliver Boyd Clow so he could fly his treasured 1948
Model A Navion
airplane. This little grass airstrip with humble beginnings was
replaced in the 1970's
with a 50- by 3400-foot lighted asphalt runway, and in 1973, became a
general aviation
airport named Clow International Airport. In 1989, Clow was named the
best privately
owned, public-use airport in Illinois, and in 1998, the thriving
little airport was sold to
developer Joe De Paulo. There are currently over 70,000 landings and
take-offs each
year, making it one of the most widely used general aviation airports
in Illinois.
