The Local Advantage series is part of Peterborough County’s broader “hub and spoke” model, which provides accessible, comprehensive support to businesses throughout Peterborough County. At the center of this initiative is Peterborough County’s Information Hub in Lakefield, which acts as a central resource, bringing together expertise from Tourism, Economic Development, and other business support services. The Local Advantage series represents a ‘spoke’ — designed to ensure businesses in all areas of Peterborough County benefit from the same high level of support.
