Kansas gained final approval Monday for a $650 million federal biodefense laboratory that officials heralded for its potential to protect the food supply and boost the state's economy.

Last month Kansas emerged as the top recommendation for the planned National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility.  On Monday, Jay Cohen, undersecretary for science and technology for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, made the pick official.
