Downtown Revitalization Project Update

A pre-construction meeting regarding the Downtown Revitalization Phase II Project was held on September 18th with representatives of Ragle Construction, REA, VS Engineering, and City of Jasper.

Here is a summary of the discussion:

  • Demolition of Main St. from 4th to 5th has begun and sidewalks have been removed on the East side of the road.  Crews have laid gravel rock in place of the sidewalk to maintain foot traffic.  Crews will begin replacing sidewalks around October 1st.
  • Stormwater infrastructure will begin being laid next week.
  • Demolition will move south a block (between 3rd & 4th) on or about 9/30.
  • Construction from 3rd to 5th Streets is expected to be fully completed by Thanksgiving, with most major work to be completed by Halloween.
  • There will be no construction between Thanksgiving 2024 & January 3rd, 2025.
  • After the first of the year the contractor will return to do the work associated with Part Two
     which is Main Street from 7th to 9th with final completion is the Spring 2025.
  • Scheduling is dependent on weather and materials.
  • Accessibility to all building entrances will be maintained for foot traffic throughout the
    project.
  • Meetings with contractor representatives will be held bi-weekly once construction begins.  Additional updates will be provided on a bi-weekly basis, or as updates become available.  For the most recent update, visit www.JasperIndiana.gov
