UW-Madison Passed Over For Bio-Defense Lab

MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin-Madison did not make the list of finalists to be home to a federal lab that will study deadly animal diseases.

UW-Madison proposed putting the national bio- and agro-defense lab on land it owns southeast of Madison in the Town of Dunn.

A number of residents near the proposed site protested the idea, WISC-TV reported.
