Manhattan has several initiatives going for it. NBAF is already bringing internationally leading companies and scientists to the community, along with their families.  Just that one thing is a huge economic boost to the area. Manhattan is becoming a hub for “foodies” as evidenced by all the acclaim for new restaurants opening around the community. And just to pile on, K-State’s athletic programs, which bring tens of thousands of sports fans to the area each season, are a huge boost to retail sales and the tourism industry.
