This morning Governor Laura Kelly announced her Administration’s most significant economic development project to date. Scorpion Biological Services, a subsidiary of Heat Biologics, Inc., is commencing on a planned development of a new 500,00 square foot biomanufacturing facility in Kansas. The $650 million business investment project will create 500 new, high-paying jobs, in Manhattan within the next seven years.
The facility will support the development of vaccines that enable an accelerated response to global biological threats. In addition the company intends to provide commercial level development, manufacturing and bioanalytical testing services at every stage for biopharmaceutical products on a fee-for-services basis to the global health care industry. Kelly says with Kansas being in the center of the Country, there is no other place better for the company to address potential threats to public health.
