Hereโs what had Jasper talking this week. Top 3 prost in JGN group from last week. Just incase you missed it.

Lynn Sandlin shared a simple photo that spoke volumes, a quiet pasture of cows with the caption, โI will never understand how someone saw this and decided to build 100 houses.โ
Over 3,000 reactions later, itโs clear many residents share the sentiment: frustration over rapid development and what many view as profit over preservation.

Kate Iranan Shirley sparked a heartfelt discussion with her post about the end of SNAP benefit funding on November 1st, asking, โHow can we mobilize to ensure our residents and their children donโt go without?โ
Her post drew thoughtful responses and real action, with locals and organizations already stepping up to support families in need.

Denise Marieโs update about a proposed 220-home project on Fairview & Lower Dowda (just south of RaceTrac) stirred strong community concern. Residents voiced opposition, citing overdevelopment, traffic, school crowding, and loss of Jasperโs small town charm. Many advocated instead for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements before more large scale construction moves forward.
Thanks Taylor Haney for letting us use your picture.
