Baptist Health to build 200,000 square foot Cancer Center

[Overstreet]

Why are they building anything?  Isnt there enough empty space? Why not the old courthouse..heck. theres lots of choices.

Sorry Rob, but did you really think your comment through? If you know anything about the old courthouse, then you know it is more likely to give you cancer than cure you. 

i thought it through very well...we have empty building everywhere..it would cost less to refit a building than build a new one and anyone who tells us otherwise isnt thinking about saving a building..not just the courthouse..lots of empty space downtown...or are you guys just blind and unwilling to see a future without tearing down a building...lazy developers and designers is what it is...hell..the laura trio could work..or just part of it...

You aren't thinking of health care buildings, proximity to services, and proximity to other medical facilities.  Keep your day job.

Any word on this project? It was one of the ones I was really hoping would get off the ground and would be huge for downtown.

There is an article in the Resident...

Looks like it might become much bigger due to adding some office spaces.  There is talk of a 12 story building etc. with 2 parking garages.  I did find the article to be a bit cryptic.
