Is the Enterprise-D Bridge Restoration still a thing?

I'm not sure who all remembers, but a few years back this guy found a complete Enterprise-D bridge replica just sitting out somewhere (I can't remember if it was outside a warehouse or what, but it was exposed to the elements) and took it upon himself to start a new restoration project, including a Hollywood Sci-Fi museum where you could not only visit the TOS and TNG bridges, but explore practically every facet of Science Fiction in movies and TV, from Battlestar Galactica to Doctor Who to Firefly. Problem is, not long after he made plans to do all this, the guy supposedly got in some serious trouble for some disturbing activity, pled guilty to it, and is now a registered sex offender. The whole thing seemed doomed, so I figured it was dead and buried. Then I stumbled upon this:

The most recent post on the facebook link is January 5th of THIS YEAR. Now, I haven't looked too much into it, but the guy is not necessarily in jail, nor is he listed among the board of directors anymore. So I have no idea what's going on. Does anyone seriously think this Hollywood Sci-Fi museum will ever open? Or has the proverbial ship already sailed?
 
For what it's worth, the Official Star Trek tour in Ticonderoga is in the process of building a TNG bridge to go with their TOS sets.

That sounds AMAZING. Plus it would be a lot closer to me than a trip to Hollywood (my mom lives in San Diego, but it would be easier to fly up from South Carolina to New York than it would be to drive from my mom's house to LA :p) I was just wondering why the facebook page for "New Starship" was still active, and if the Hollywood Sci Fi Museum was even still something that was being planned or going to happen at all.
