Abstract
The study investigated the impact of establishing a community college upon a county's relative economic development. Census data from 1940 through 1990 were used in graphical analysis of short-time series, ratio comparisons, and ordinary least square regression analysis. The results indicated that establishing a community college potentially contributed 8% to 11% of a county's economic development. This estimated "catalyst" influence was accounted for by neither payroll, population growth, nor economic advantages that existed prior to establishment of the community colleges.
