Were you able to find the rest of the state?  I going to do a "foot" list but I can't find enough information to do it.  I can't seem to find a website anywhere.  I bet the FAA has them, but its probably not public information. I found alot of the data in our experience database at work.

While I think a floor is an arbitrary form to measure height, as it is variable in building to building, I would be interested in seeing this list compiled in the structures over all height in feet (or meters).
