Attorney General Todd Rokita Asked Federal Officials To Reconsider Sale To City Plans to redevelop the Indianapolis Downtown Heliport are on hold after Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita asked federal officials to reconsider their approval of the facility’s anticipated sale to the city. The heliport has been closed since Dec. 15, but a sale is not permitted until several Federal Aviation Administration regulations are satisfied. The FAA on Jan. 9 directed the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA), which owns the heliport, to “immediately pause post-closure decommissioning activities” ahead of a formal sale. The directive is a reversal of the agency’s decision in late 2024, which permitted the authority to close the facility to air traffic and sell it for redevelopment.
