Manhattan on short list for biodefense facility
Kansas officials praise Manhattan and nearby communities as candidates for the Homeland Security National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. Officials cited Fort Riley ties and K State’s Biosecurity Research Institute as reasons Manhattan fits, with final site decisions expected by October 2008 and construction creating up to 1,500 jobs. Public worry remains about safety and local impact while debates over Leavenworth’s bid continue.
