Other Uses
Since being taken over by the city of Ottumwa, the facility has seen many non-aviation uses, many related to the field of education. Ottumwa Industrial Park, immediately adjacent to the airport and built on land originally part of NAS Ottumwa, has attracted manufacturing and office buildings to the area. A Job Corps training facility opened in the park in 2012. The largest educational presence though is Indian Hills Community College. Their "North Campus", one of two in Ottumwa, offers education programs in aviation maintenance technology, pilot training, avionics technology, as well as automotive collision repair, commercial driver training and welding.
