My understanding is that the cost to repair the building on Veterans was cost po rohibitive given the dwindling employee population. The building is failing in many ways. Unsure why they spent so much money to fix it up in the last ten years. I understand they had the information for at least 15 years. This is a structure issue as much as a "no butts in chairs" issue. But they probably don't want anyone to know that. The building will either be sold to someone who doesn't care about the building issues....or knocked down for new development. Which is also kind of iffy....given the continued drop in employees. Also heard....Atlanta is likely going to close.....makes sense...no parking...no way to access the building...and a difficult employee force....hmmmmmm
