I am writing to correct an error that appeared in your "High Tech Round Up"
article in the November-December issue.
The caption beneath my picture stated that "Mitchell Bring designed the Georgia
Resource Center, the first of the big statewide facilities." This is inaccurate.
Our firm, Still Current Design, was involved in the two predecessors to the Resource
Center: the Energy Planning Center (in 1984) and the Georgia Business Location Center
(in 1998). The Resource Center was then developed subsequently and independently.
A talented team of Georgia Power employees, and some of my former colleagues at Georgia
Tech, significantly advanced the state of the art.
I regret that this may have been interpreted as an attempt to appropriate the
work of others.
Mitchell Bring,
President, Still Current Design
Editor's Note: Actually, it was our mistake. The last tour we took of Georgia
Power's center was before the redesign, and therefore we didn't recognize the distinction.
Although the cutline was technically inaccurate, two things are true: the Georgia
Resource Center is an incredible resource to site selectors, and Mitchell Bring is
a talented and innovative designer of Economic Development resource technology.
Address Correction
The contact name and phone numbers in the Atlas & Guide 1997 listing for Lee
County Economic Development Office was incorrect. The correct information is:
Lee County Economic
Development Office
2180 West First St., Suite 306
Fort Myers, FL 33901
(941) 338-3161, fax (941) 338-3227
Janet Watermeier, Executive Director
Right to Work
The map on page 25 of the 1997 Atlas & Guide incorrectly listed Nebraska as
a non-Right to Work state. In fact, Nebraska is one of seven states whose constitutions
guarantee the right to work.
