Annexation Moratorium Agreement • October 23rd, 2020

On December 14, 2010, the City of Ames entered into an Annexation Moratorium Agreement with the City of Nevada. The two cities agreed for a period of 10 years that neither city would pursue annexation beyond 590th Street, meaning west of 590th would only be annexed by the City of Ames and east of 590th Street would only be annexed by Nevada. This agreement has proven to be successful in eliminating the motivation for a rush by either party to annex up to the city limits of the other municipality as a defensive move to protect their growth future plans.
