If this is true, it is a big development. Definitely not just Real Estate page potential.
I'm betting it is name only though, as this apparently would only be the second "M.D. Anderson Cancer Center" outside of Houston. Maybe there was a typographical error or something, but this is too good to be true. At the least, the amount of research going on in the area will be at Birmingham's level if not better in the years to come if this comes to fruition. At the most (and it is a fully functioning hospital, et cetera), the health care that locals will experience will be spectacularly enhanced. Instead of traveling 4+ hours to get to a comprehensive cancer center, locals can drive right into Daphne right off the interstate 15 minutes from Downtown Mobile.
