At last month’s Midtown SPI-16 & SPI-17 Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting, the committee heard plans from a group seeking to build a $225 million, 115,000 square-foot cancer-treating proton facility on a 2.39-acre property bounded by Peachtree St., North Ave., Juniper St., and Ponce de Leon Ave. Plans were not made available to Patch at the time, nor have they been made available since.
