Closing the Gap - Unleashing Economic Potential through Strategic Land Uses and Infrastructure

An insightful and thought-provoking discussion that expands our community's perspectives on land use patterns and their role in economic development and prosperity for the City of Peterborough.

On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, the City of Peterborough hosted “Closing the gap - Unleashing economic potential through strategic land uses and infrastructure”, a discussion about approaches to land use planning and infrastructure investment decisions that maximize economic potential.

The session included a presentation from urban planning thought-leader Joe Minicozzi, the principal of Urban3, a leading geo-accounting and land value economics firm.

Minicozzi’s presentation was followed by an expert panel discussion featuring James Jorgensen, Senior Partner with GEI Consulting; Paul Bennett, President of Ashburnham Realty; and Jamey Coughlin, Director of Business Expansion and Attraction with Peterborough and the Kawarthas Economic Development. The discussion was moderated by Michael Papadacos, Director of Asset Management and Capital Planning with the City of Peterborough, who was later joined by Brad Appleby, Director of Planning, Development and Urban Design for a Q&A session.
