Editorial on NBAF site selection leaves Kansas officials disappointed
The editorial questions the fairness of the NBAF site process after DHS added Plum Island back as a potential site and a no action option emerged. Kansas officials, along with others, had campaigned hard for a finalist location at Kansas State University, while senators and representatives warned the competition may not yield a winner. The piece notes the project aims to create an integrated animal and plant research center and notes the five finalists plus Plum Island complicate the environmental review and final decision.
