Anyone on here know the status of this Homeland Security building in Downtown Atlanta?

I'm involved in a similar project in Texas and interested in any information on the one in Atlanta.

You're probably not likely to get much info- as you know from being involved in the project in Texas, GSA and DHS aren't exactly keen on distributing specifics about their projects for security reasons.

Though my neighbor works for GSA so I can ask if he knows anything....
