    The construction of the National Bio and Agro-defense Facility means a number of employees at the Plum Island Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Plum Island, NY, will soon be working in Manhattan

    One such employee is Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory Director Kimberly Dodd.
