The Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM) will release a new report Monday morning in Dearborn that outlines the economic and other benefits of bringing high-speed rail to Michigan and the Midwest.

PIRGIM says critics of adding a high-speed rail are ignoring the cost of inaction and the full range of benefits a new rail system could bring to Michigan and each state in the Midwest in both the short and long term.

The presentation for the new report will take place at 10:30 a.m.  Sept. 20 on the platform at the Dearborn Amtrak Station, located behind the Dearborn Police Station
