After Norton closed in April , the facility was essentially abandoned, and remains so today. Many adjacent smaller structures have been demolished, and likely it remains standing is due to its heavily-reinforced concrete and steel construction.

The closure was cited as due to environmental wastes, inadequate facilities, and air traffic congestion due to air traffic from Ontario International Airport , twenty miles 32 km west, and Los Angeles International Airport , 60 miles 97 km west.
