I was very excited to here that I would have a major biotech facility right in my own backyard. The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility is a Homeland Security initiative designed to build up our nations defenses against potential bio-terrorism. The facility will be built in Manhattan, Kansas and is a huge win for the state of Kansas. This project will provide a big boost to the economy in a tough economic time.

State officials worked extremely hard to seal the deal and below are some of the major factors that tipped the balance in favor of Kansas:

  • Cheaper to build in Kansas than competing states.
  • Kansas State focuses on livestock biotech and this is a better fit with the facility.
  • Proximity to existing biohazard research.
  • Strong public support.
  • State provided incentives to sweeten the deal.
