¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Cortland Community College (TC3) creates a significant positive impact on the business community and generates a return on investment to its major stakeholder groups - students, taxpayers, and society.

TC3 plays a key role in helping students increase their employability and achieve their individual potential. By drawing students to the region, new dollars and opportunities are generated for the sponsor counties.

TC3 influences both the lives of its students and the regional economy. TC3 supports a variety of industries in the sponsor counties, serves regional businesses, and benefits society as a whole in New York from an expanded economy and improved quality of life. The benefits created by TC3 even extend to the state and local  government through increased tax revenues and public sector savings.

The latest analysis of TC3's economic impact was completed in 2021, and shows TC3 adds nearly $90 million annually to the economy.
