Since Jasper’s origins, Courthouse Square has been the focus of the community. Unfortunately, the current configuration of the space renders it more a place to pass through than to stay. Wide streets surround the courthouse and isolate it from the commercial businesses on its edges.
OUR RESPONSE
A modest reduction in the roadway allows for a generous planting buffer to address stormwater adjacent to the road and create new outdoor activity nodes.
The Results
Jasper’s Courthouse Square Infrastructure and Revitalization Project began reconstruction in May 2022 and will be completed by Summer 2023.
