Nope KSGU is closed and the land is going to be used for condo's. On the positive side you can now fly the controversial LDA appr . According to rumor the engineers screwed up the RWY alignment by 3 degs making an ILS not possible at the new airport. It's all the talk right now and lot's of finger pointing going on. They also had to re-do the taxiway plans to have the required centerline distances to meet the new FAA guidelines. Luckily they caught this before laying pavement.
Anyway the old airport is now history.
