There was a news article a couple of months ago stating that the contract for that helicopter pad/medevac service would not be renewed after Oct 1. I just tried Google and could not find a reference to the article.
I recall the reason was the low utilization and that adequate coverage would be provided via the next closest site.
So, yes the helicopter pad on Powell Rd is non functional. Don't know who owns the land or what will be done with it.
