Texas weighs suit over NBAF site in Kansas
Texas officials consider filing a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over awarding the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to Manhattan Kansas State University area. The plan calls for at least 450 million dollars in construction and billions in jobs and research, with Texas arguing the process was altered last minute to push cost sharing. Kansas officials defend the selection saying the process allowed public input and that the project would benefit bioscience and food safety.
