Back in May, the Lebanon High School Times began reporting on a giant new building planned for Heater Road. The building and its parking lot will fill much of the northwest corner of Heater and Route 120:

This is is not particularly near to the hospital; in fact, that’s Fort Harry’s/Fort Lou’s/The Fort in the lower right. The third building up Heater Road, the one with smoke coming from the chimney, will be demolished to create an access road. A second access road will head west from the site, reaching all the way to Old Etna Road.

Chris Fleischer wrote in the Valley News:

On Heater Road in Lebanon, 11 acres of land has been cleared to make way for a $38 million medical office building that will be home to about 200 Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center physicians, nurses and staff.

While enjoying a fairly low profile in the press, this project is not exactly new. A Lebanon wetland permit for the project is dated July 2008 (pdf). Fleischer’s article notes that the building was first proposed by a different group in 2006.
