LANSING – The Greater Lansing region is taking steps to develop its fledgling particle acceleration industry.

The Lansing Economic Area Partnership has created an action plan to attract new businesses to the region that relate to the research conducted at Michigan State University’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory and the work being done at Niowave and Ionetix.
