Site Selection & Real Estate
The Manhattan Region has an abundance of infrastructure to accommodate new business development or expansion. Reasonably priced land, utilities, transportation and the advantage of a centralized location make Manhattan an attractive possibility for growth and development potential to your business.
Edge Collaboration District
Facilities built in this corridor — on the north edge of the Kansas State University campus — will benefit and be able to leverage the extensive resources and capabilities of K-State and existing partners. Anchored by the $1.25B National BioAgro-Defense Facility and K-State’s Biosecurity Research Institute, the Edge serves as the physical epicenter of a plan that establishes Kansas, the region and the university as the destination for the world’s food and animal health companies and global food systems-related research and educational talent.
