The local government is what it is. Unless your saying that it has markedly changed in the last 45 years then the college has had that long to prove itself to the community. If it is doing a fine job then getting money to do what it wants done will be no problem. If it has failed the community then it will have a harder time proving that it acknowleges that failure and this is what it can and will do to overcome it.

In your opinion, what industries need a "large" populace of degreed workers and with what type of degrees? And what difference does that make, locally? Are we attracting students or working with those, potentially, already here? If we are working with those already here then why isn't our college already addressing those needs already apparent? We have a considerably high drop out rate of high school students throughout the county. What has the college done to address this problem? It is a community college, correct? It should perceive and address the needs of the community.
