Yea that is essentially what I meant. FSCJ can be a benefit to downtown, particularly State and Union and Springfield as Lake pointed out.
I was speaking more about corporate relocations, large scale development, research and development, big picture stuff, etc. FSCJ has a very small endowment of $32 million, is poorly funded by the state (even less than our already poorly funded universities), generates no research dollars, and there are minimal (if any) Public Educational Capital Outlay (PECO) funds for new construction projects from the state these days. Basically if FSCJ is to make any big moves it will have to come from fundraising and corporate donations, and frankly it would be foolish for anyone (or any company) to make a major donation to FSCJ over a more prestigious institution that could make the money go further and accomplish more with it.
FSCJ can be a benefit to the city and to downtown, but as an institution it is limited in what it can accomplish.
