A representative of the Connecticut Office of Health Strategy is recommending that the petition for Danbury Proton be denied.  A physicians group is seeking approvals for Connecticut’s first proton therapy cancer center.  The Deputy Director and Chief of Staff at the state agency says the applicant failed to meet their burden of proof in satisfying the statutory requirements on a clear public need for the proposal and its financial feasibility.  The 17-page decision comes two years after Danbury Proton applied to the state to build an 80 million dollar, 16-thousand square foot cancer treatment facility on three acres off Wooster Heights Road.  Danbury Proton previously obtained local land use approvals and could appeal the state decision to Office of Health Strategy Executive Director Victoria Veltri.
