Danbury Considers Bonding Help For $96 Million Cancer Center

Danbury officials are weighing a proposal to use the city’s bonding power to help finance a $96 million proton therapy cancer center on the west side. The facility, called Danbury Proton, would be the second of its kind in Connecticut, offering advanced tumor treatment with less damage to healthy tissue. Mayor Roberto Alves claims taxpayers won’t be liable for the bonds, but Republican candidates are raising concerns about potential risks.
