Abstract: This report provides an estimation of the total economic contribution that Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) makes on its surrounding region. Of course, the full comprehensive impact of the college on the regions social and cultural environment is much larger than its economic influence. Since its founding in 1951, the college has changed the social environment of the greater Grand Traverse region. This change has occurred informally by the simple presence of more young adults staying in the community to pursue their education, and formally through activities such as the Dennos Museum Center, WNMC 90.7 FM, and the Rogers Observatory which have increased both the cultural offerings and cultural expectations of the region. The purpose of this report is to document the colleges economic contributions to the region which, while an important measure, reflects only a portion of the colleges total impact.
