COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Creating a Kansas home for NBAF has received support from public and private sectors. Here's what some of the supporters have to say!
  • Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, Inc.
    "As the proposal goes forward, we pledge to work with you to secure local, state, and national commitments, and assist with facilitating regional interactions as deemed appropriate. KCALSI is committed to this endeavor and stands ready to aggressively support the effort."
  • Congress of the United States
    "The Kansas Congressional Delegation unanimously supports the Heartland Bio Agro Consortium's 'Expression of Interest' submissions on behalf of the entire State of Kansas to construct the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in our State."
  • U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation
    "We understand the Department of Homeland Security released a notice requesting interested parties to propose locations for the NBAF-the new Plum Island research facility. We believe having the NBAF located within the agricultural heartland … would be ideal for the region and centrally advantageous for the nation."
  • City of Manhattan
    "The City of Manhattan supports the Heartland Bio Agro Consortium's "Expression of Interest" submission on behalf of the entire State of Kansas to construct the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility at Kansas State University, adjacent to its new Bio Security Research Institute, which will be commissioned in the fall of 2006."
