Business, Building & Development

The City of Peterborough is a thriving community that's attracting growth and investment through the energy of the people in our community and our unique location. We're an urban centre right on nature's doorstep. We're close enough to major centres, like Toronto and Ottawa, yet far enough away to be an independent city with our own soul.

Whether you're investing in renovations to your home, planning a new commercial or residential development, growing your business or building a new business, we're here to work with you.

Peterborough is rich in educational opportunities

The City of Peterborough is home to first-rate educational opportunities at these public post secondary institutions; Trent University, Fleming College and Seneca College.
