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

The Norcross City Council voted to approve a Georgia Tech School of City and Regional Planning’s request to conduct an immigrant integration project. The study, titled Planning with Immigrant Communities in Norcross, will examine civic engagement and increased community participation as well as economic development and small business growth within the Hispanic/Latino and Asian communities. The study will evaluate the immigrant community’s needs and strengths from both a residential, and business perspective and report on opportunities for a strategic plan for continued integration of immigrant populations within the city.
