The world’s largest and most comprehensive youth baseball and softball scouting organization, Perfect Game, has chosen Cedar Park as its headquarters. The Cedar Park City Council voted to approve the deal, as recommended by the City’s Economic Development (Type 4A) and Community Development (Type 4B) Sales Tax Corporations, at its September 23, 2021 City Council Meeting. The project will create a new and thriving industry in sports tourism that Cedar Park has yet to see, and solidify Cedar Park as both a tourism and business destination.
Perfect Game's Mission is to promote the games of baseball and softball now and in the future, by hosting the highest quality amateur events while providing meaningful opportunities and information to players, families, MLB organizations, college coaches and fans. Under the agreements, Perfect Game will lease an 80-acre City-owned tract from the City’s 4B Community Development Corporation through the next 20 years; PG Group purchased an adjacent 30 acres of land for commercial development. Both will be located on a 112-acre tract the City’s Type B Community Development Corporation recently purchased from the Krienke family. It is located near the northeast intersection of Ronald Reagan and Whitestone Boulevards.

Mayor Corbin Van Arsdale said, “Economic vitality is one of our City Council’s strategic goals, and this partnership with Perfect Game literally hits it out of the park. This project with the leading baseball and softball scouting organization in the country will generate more than $20 million in new net revenue to the City of Cedar Park and will attract an entire new economy that expands employment and business opportunities for decades to come.”
Perfect Game President Jerry Ford says Central Texas was the organization’s number one location choice, and they are extremely excited for it to be in Cedar Park.
