City & County Information
Cedar Park: A note from Matt Powell, Cedar Park MayorCedar Park residents take great pride in the accomplishments of their city, and it is easy to understand why. 2014 was another banner year with new and exciting shopping and dining options helping us achieve record sales tax growth. Local businesses are expanding, and new additions to our community, such as Dana Holding Corp. and Firefly Space Systems, keep us on the cutting edge of technology. Our hockey team—the Texas Stars—lifted the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup in 2014.
And although it would be easy to rattle off the numerous awards and recognitions that Cedar Park has earned in the past few years, the best way to learn about our beautiful city is to explore a bit on your own. Visit a local business and chat with the owner. Play in one of our dozens of parks. Check out the brand new Texas Museum of Science and Technology. And do it all knowing that you are safe, with our public safety personnel consistently earning top honors and keeping us one of the safest cities in Texas.
Get excited, Cedar Park, because even with all of our recent successes, our best and brightest days are still to come. We’re glad you’re here. What will you discover next?
