There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

While the Georgia Fair Lending Act would have curbed some lending in the highest-risk segments says Professor Dan Immergluck of Georgia Tech's School of City and Regional Planning, he believes the benefits of the Act far outweigh the costs. “There wouldn’t have been nearly as many loans being made (if the original law had stood), and that would have been a good thing," notes Immergluck.
