After a redevelopment project announced in the spring of 2022 for the site of the former Pierre City Hall building never turned into reality, town officials have announced (March 31, 2026) that a new, similar project is in the works.
Pierre Mayor Steve Harding says the downsized project by a different company will still be an improvement for the empty space next to First Dakota National Bank.
Harding says Stencil– the company that built the Abbey Road apartment building near City Hall– intends to begin construction this year. He says Pierre will also be selling Stencil an additional piece of property nearby.
City Commissioner Jamie Huizenga says adding any type of housing to the community is a good thing.
City Commissioner Todd Johnson asked about a Tax Increment Financing– or TIF– District associated with the 2022 project and City Administrator Kristi Honeywell provided the response.
Details about the redevelopment project on the former Pierre City Hall property was informational only, so the city commission didn’t need to take any action during their meeting this week.
