Riley County, Kan., is riding what might be the ultimate wave of government-financed prosperity.

On the northeast side of Manhattan, the county seat, is Kansas State University, to the west of town is the U.S. Army's Fort Riley, and soon the federal government will start building the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. Between them, the three will provide more than 30,000 jobs in a county with about 65,000 people.

The county's Stress Score is among the 30 best in the country, 3.72.

Basically what I know is they wanted to open up some more area for computers on the second floor so they're moving those set of stacks that held magazines and such. When they took up the stacks they found out that the carpet was disgusting in that area (which is common when you don't move furniture for 10 years and have people walking around the furniture). So they're replacing the carpet and it'll be opened up in the next couple months.

IMO, KSU and Manhattan has officially hit elite status. How many other universities have BSL-4 labs on campus? Like....none?

KSU is also home to the most ironic wind erosion lab in the history of the world.
