Elected officials who have established a committee to study the issue of establishing a 4-year college in Macomb County say a university could increase opportunities for students and improve the local economy. But others say it may be a waste of money since Macomb already offers several higher education options, such as Macomb Community College and Davenport University , which is private. Wayne State is noted as reachable to commuting Macomb students and as having an established satellite campus in the county.
