Describing his hopes for the region at the April 15 meeting of the Back Mountain Business and Professional Association, MacDowell said the forces that drive economic expansion have changed, and this area is equipped to take advantage of the changes, in large part be- cause its colleges and universi- ties turn out thousands of ca- pable graduates each year. For decades, business and industry was “capital inten- sive,” dependent on equipment and materials. Today's growing businesses use “human capi- tal. Supplying that human capi- tal is the most important thing these institutions can do,” MacDowell said. Acknowledging that he might seem unrealistic, MacDowell said the region has the poten- tial to become a vibrant growth area. “That's my dream. Call me silly, but I believe we can have a miniature ‘Research Tri- angle’ in northeastern Penn- sylvania,” he said, alluding to the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. That area and others, such as California’s Silcon Valley or the Rt. 128 beltway around Boston, devel- oped around the “brain power” of nearby colleges and univer- sities. The challenge, MacDowell said, is to convince local gradu- ates to stay in the area and create wealth and jobs for them- #» Dr. Michael MacDowell, president of College Misericordia, addressed members of the Back Mountain Business and Professional Association during a meeting held on the campus. MacDowell laid out his vision for a vibrant local economy. selves and others. He gave sev- eral examples of successful businesses run by graduates of local universities and colleges, and suggested not enough is made*of the those cases while complaints about the region's failings are heard too often. : “We don’t know how lucky we are,” MacDowell said, after telling BMBPA members about two recent hirings at the col- lege, both of whom had gradu- ated, moved away to larger metropolitan areas, then’ wished to return because of the quality of life here. : MacDowell also described new activity at the campus. Merrick Hall, which houses the college bookstore and dining hall, is being remodeled at a’ cost,.of about $1 million. The | bookstore will be enlarged and’ | relocated to the side of the build- ing facing the parking area. The new campus library will be dedicated Sept. 24, which is the 75th anniversary of the opening of the college. Also, the campus will host seven Elderhostel sessions this sum- mer, and a summer reading program will be instituted for young children and their par- ents. "We're trying to break a cycle of poverty that exists in the area,” MacDowell said.
