Many people understand and value major research universities such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW-Milwaukee and their impact on economic growth and recovery. However, the â??Greater Wisconsinâ? public universities and colleges that serve more than 100,000 students and 60 percent of the stateâ??s residents are regional educational, research, cultural, and economic bedrocks. These institutions greatly impact the long-term regional economic development strategies for Wisconsin through workforce development, business enterprise services and regional community enhancement.
