Several editorial articles have been published in newspapers around the state during the past week. The general theme of each is the same – FRIB will bring innovation and economic development not just to the state of Michigan, but to the entire nation. They assert the type of basic research needed to maintain the nation’s technological status is rarely undertaken by private industry, so it is important for the government to fund ventures like FRIB.
