Planners in St. Johnsbury have given their approval for a proposed $8 million cancer center to be located in the former Ames department store building. The North Country Oncology Center is a joint venture between Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
The new facility, which won state approval earlier this year, will provide chemotherapy and radiation services. A conditional use permit was required because the Ames building is zoned for commercial use.
