Greater Manhattan Economic Partnership

The Greater Manhattan Economic Partnership — GMEP — is a division of the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Pottawatomie County Economic Development Corporation.

Home to Kansas State University, a land-grant institution and Big XII member, this region in between the coasts is exactly where your next site should be. For a century and a half, we’ve leveraged our location (and our 58,000 citizens’ Midwestern work ethic) to become the center of the biodefense world, a leader in crop and grain innovations, and a premier cluster of agricultural expertise.

We have:

• Efficient accessibility via interstates and fast commutes on an excellent state highway system, with direct daily flights to Chicago and Dallas
• Existing and in-progress research and office park space with proximity to state and federal research facilities
• A long history of profitable cooperation among the regional business community, local governments, nonprofits and educational institutions, resulting in a progressive business ecosystem
• The vibe of both a small Midwestern city and a Power Five university town, with affordable housing, low crime, a priority on education and tons of athletic and cultural opportunities
