Jasper Revitalization and Infrastructure Project Resumes

By: Corbin Lingenfelter, News Director

Jasper- The new year comes with more construction for Jasper.

Crews will be wrapping up the first quadrant of the Jasper Downtown Square Infrastructure and Revitalization over the coming week. The last item needed, permeable pavers for parking areas, are expected to be delivered today. These pavers are the final items for the whole project the city needs. Jasper Mayor Dean Vonderheide told WITZ’s Charlie Wayne Thursday morning once the pavers are in the city, crews will begin work. 

“By the end of next week,” said the Mayor, “Quadrant one, where the city annex and offices are, should be completed.”

Immediately following the completion of quadrant one, which is on the city's northeast side, crews will transition to the northwest quadrant. Work will begin with water line and sewer work before moving to paving and concrete laying. 

“That (quadrant two) should take two to three months to complete,” said Vonderheide.

The goal, according to the Mayor, is to have all the quadrants completed by the Christmas of 2023. Following all quadrant completions, work will transition to Phase Two of the project. 

Two-hour parking is still available downtown in areas near the square. Traffic signage is posted in the construction areas. As a reminder, please follow all traffic laws.
