The original location was going to be SE of the Flint Hills Discovery Center, but the project has been relocated to Downtown Manhattan, KS. The new location will be located in the area on the East side of Third Street, North Houston, and the Westside of Fourth Street. For those familiar with the area, local businesses like Pool House, Chapter 5 Yoga, and other businesses in that building would remain.
