That's been the core of my economic development platform since the launch of my campaign for Mayor of Peterborough. And I'm hearing from residents who believe in it too. While I’m canvassing. From the PTBO Top Priority poll. And from our community input sessions. There’s a movement growing.

Let’s call it the Let's Grow PTBO movement.

A thriving economy is the engine that drives a better quality of life for everyone in our city. By actively attracting new investments, showing support to our local businesses, and collaborating closely with the County, we can significantly expand our assessment base.

That translates into the things that matter: more jobs, a vibrant downtown, faster city upkeep (like getting those potholes fixed), steady arts & culture investment, and more affordable housing. Ultimately, the more prosperity we create, the stronger our social safety net becomes for those who need it.

That's the power of economic development. A Peterborough that works for everyone. If you believe in us, join the Let's Grow PTBO movement today.
