What is the NBAF project?
The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) is the answer to an important national challenge — to ensure public health and the safety and security of our national food supply. NBAF will be a $451 million, 500,000-square-foot facility — one of the largest federal research facilities in the country and the largest in the Midwest. It will provide integrated research, response, and diagnostic capabilities to protect animal and public health. NBAF will replace an aging federal facility located at Plum Island, New York.
