Fermilab and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, provided DOE's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory with $103.1 million. Fermilab will invest the funds in critical scientific infrastructure to strengthen the nation's global scientific leadership as well as to provide immediate economic relief to local communities. This Web site will provide citizens with clear and accurate information about how Fermilab is using the new funding and its immediate benefits for our neighbors and our nation.
