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 Piedmont Alliance for Quality Growth, formed in November 2009, is an attempt to create a seamless corridor from Raleigh, NC to Birmingham, AL. The members of the group come from business, academic, and government backgrounds and are focusing on partnerships to improve infrastructure- namely water, transportation, and energy- in the Piedmont Atlantic Megaregion (PAM). According to West, it is a collective effort which will draw economic development to the region, allowing for global economic competition. The group next meets in Macon, GA in mid-March.
