Even before becoming president, Friday worked with Governor Luther Hodges to plan the Research Triangle Park. In 1958, the Research Triangle Institute became the park's first major tenant, conducting high-level scientific research with federal grants. Two major chemical companies also brought research facilities to the park during the 1950s.
