NIU proton therapy center runs out of time, needs new state permit | Daily Chronicle

That two-year period will come to an end Friday. And the project remains far from completion,
NIPTRC representatives said.
NIPTRC blamed its failure to complete the project on the problems that have plagued the capital markets, making it virtually impossible to issue the $140 million in bonds

If built, the NIPTRC facility would be the Chicago area’s second proton therapy center, as Central DuPage Hospital and Bloomington, Ind.-based ProCure are completing work on the region’s first such proton center in Warrenville.

Gang leaders were videotaped having sex with the girls, she said.
