Narrative:
Prior to takeoff, I received my IFR clearance from FSS, and they asked which runway and how long before takeoff. I advised 5 mins on runway 21. FSS then advised that they showed that runway as being closed. I then contacted unicom, and was advised that runway 21 had been closed that morning, but was now open, and it had just become the active runway. The wind was out of the southwest at 10-15 mph, and there was local traffic on downwind for runway 21. Runway 9/27 is closed to turboprops and aircraft over 12500 pounds. My aircraft, a king air B200, weighed about 12000 pounds. I advised FSS that the runway was open, and received my IFR release, at which time I departed on runway 21. It is my belief that the runway was open even though FSS showed it as closed, and due to the wind and local traffic. Also believe that it was my only option.
