Manhattan, KS Development
Posted: Tue Apr 30, 2013 12:20 pm
Manhattan has quite a few projects going on right now. Not sure how many get coverage in KC, so I figured I'd post a bit about stuff going on:
NBAF - National Bio and Agro Defense Facility
- Located on NW side of KSU campus
- Congressional budget has $714M in funding ready for it
- Construction is underway on $80M power plant currently
- Land was recently handed over to US Gov't
- Completion = ?; have heard anything from 2017 - 2020
- Pretty pics/ more info: http://www.kclifesciences.org/news/life ... d-k-state/ ; http://mcmjv.com/
Downtown Redevelopment
- Mostly completed - happened 2010 - now
- 2 areas; a few blocks on both north and south side of mall
- Ripped out a lot of old buildings, including some that were housing viable businesses
South End:
- Flint Hills Discovery Center opened last year, awesome building. http://www.flinthillsdiscovery.org/ ; http://www.ci.manhattan.ks.us/index.aspx?nid=1060
- A couple new hotels near FHDC (Candlewood Suites, Hilton Garden)
- New park next to FHDC
North End:
- Few block long strip center that brought tons of new retail and dining that you can't get between Topeka and Salina.
- 96 unit apartment complex being built burnt November 2011 in arson. $4M in damage, has been completely rebuilt http://themercury.com/photo-video/galle ... llage-fire ; http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/Excl ... 02123.html
