Jasper’s Downtown Revitalization Phase II is moving forward, with construction between 3rd and 4th Streets now complete and reopened to traffic. Base paving is done, with final paving and striping set for a later date. Work now shifts to 7th and 8th Streets, where closures will last through repairs. Sidewalk removal on the east side of the road is set to begin as early as April 3, with replacement expected to take three weeks. Despite construction, all building entrances remain accessible to pedestrians, and the German American Bank drive-thru is operational. Progress depends on weather and material availability, with bi-weekly contractor meetings keeping the project on track.
