The new voluntary annexation of highway 97 south of Pierce City is now in place. The new City limit signs will soon be installed on the north side of highway 60 and 97. This will move the city limits out by about a mile and one third. Only the corrider and no personal property was included in this annexation.

The City of Pierce City is included in the new South half of Lawrence County Enhanced Enterprise Zone. This will make it possible for Pierce City to be included in searches for new businesses within the zone. This is becoming a very useful tool in other Enhanced areas.
