Cedar Park Gears Up Economic Development Effort

CEDAR PARK, TX-The City of Cedar Park’s town center project is just one of the weapons the community, perched on Austin’s northwest shoulder, is amassing for its nascent economic development effort. The community also is working on its roads, infrastructure, incentives and business developments.

Now, in order to build a stronger, more diverse tax base and to provide a stronger sense of place, the city is embarking on a full-scale economic development effort.
