With this in mind, SEP strongly emphasizes growth opportunities beyond county lines. For example, businesses like Peak Oxygen, a local oxygen delivery service, thrive within the tourism economy. Founded by former Arapahoe Basin ski patrollers Dominic Vellone and Kyle Hagadorn, Peak Oxygen received 40 hours of consulting services through the Economic Gardening Program, aiding in expanding its clientele beyond Summit County.

In celebration of Small Business Week, SEP's Executive Director, Thayer Hirsh, will be a key speaker at the NWCCOG Regional Economic Summit on May 2nd, focusing on fostering entrepreneurship within Summit County.
