Recognizing the importance of economic development in Perry’s future, civic leaders purchased vacant, unimproved land through the creation of the Perry Development Coalition, Inc., a not-for- profit corporation. The acres purchased by the coalition were subsequently transferred to the City of Perry and became the Perry Commercial Park. The City of Perry has subsequently purchased property for two additional parks: the Perry Industrial Park, and the South Commercial Park.

The land has since been improved and features include:

Vacant sites with water, sewer, and electric utilities installed
Sites that are “Shovel Ready”
16,000 vehicles pass the three parks daily
All available sites feature easy access to Interstate 35
40 miles south to Interstates 40 & 44 in Oklahoma City
190 miles north to Interstate 70 in Salina, Kansas
Railroad tracks operated by BNSF go east and west go through the parks although there is no spur
Properties are zoned General Commercial or Industrial.

The Commercial Park is subject to restrictive covenants regarding quality appearance. The City of Perry offers a variety of incentives designed to promote the development of the park, as well as the success of businesses that choose to reside in the park and most available properties can be divided into smaller tracts.
