aerial shot of a river with buildings on either sideThe City of Peterborough is developing an Economic Development Strategic Plan that will help the City shape its economic future.

The world continues to evolve and change and with this change so does the City’s economy. To build on its successes, Peterborough is creating a clear, actionable, and comprehensive direction for economic development, that responds to changing market conditions, addresses unique local challenges, and identifies future opportunities.

The Plan will position Peterborough for inclusive, sustainable and innovative economic growth over the next five years.

The City has engaged McSweeney & Associates, a management consulting firm considered industry leaders in Community and Economic Development, to facilitate the strategy development process. McSweeney & Associates is being supported by City Staff.

Over the following weeks, McSweeney & Associates will facilitate interviews and small in-person focus group sessions with selected representatives of key interest groups including local businesses, organizations and community groups, and Council. 

The community is also being engaged throughout the consultation period to share valuable feedback.
