I know this idea will probably be shot down, but why isn't there a push for a World Class brick and mortar 4 year College in the heart of Michigan City? If people had convenient access to a solid education in much needed fields such as Healthcare, Technology, Engineering and Education, perhaps it would attract companies to settle in the area. Perhaps it would behoove political and business leaders of the area to take some of the existing buildings and found a good, solid four year College within walking distance for those who reside in Michigan City, Indiana.

I'd love to see it, and I am sure the City would as well. However either attracting a satellite school, or a new college, is easier said than done. With PNC (Now PNW) just down the road, they are out of the running. IU has campuses in both Calumet and South Bend, so they are probably out as well.
Who else? |

That would be a good fit for the former Memorial Hospital property. |

I would agree that offering the memorial hospital property for health care classes from one of the aforementioned colleges would be a good start. If you can't get a college to commit you may be able to get them to hold some classes as a start on a per-approved property at very affordable rates. Often these types of deals are made for a trial period to see if there is interest in the community to get folks into the classroom. The college has to invest very little to start and if the interest is there, then the educational community will follow. |

We'll see if there are any takers. |
