Jasper Georgia is a beautiful town with natural beauty, kind people, and lots of potential. Downtown should be the thriving, beating heart of the community. For that to happen Jasper needs locally owned businesses that support the local community.

The real problem.

Downtown Jasper is being taken over by people from out of town, who just want to raise prices and take the money back to where they came from. These people are buying buildings and putting in their own businesses without supporting the local community.

Some of these people have already been run out of Canton and other towns. They bought buildings, raised the rent, and kept all the money for themselves. That is not good for Jasper.

62 cents of every dollar spent in a community stays in that community. Unless someone takes it out.

Out of town property owners and out of town business owners take money from the community instead of contributing to it.

When you spend money at a business that isn’t locally owned, the profits leave Jasper. When a local business is unable to find a locally owned building to lease, the profits leave Jasper.

Vote with your dollars.

You can support local businesses by:

• Support businesses that are locally owned by shopping and eating there.
• Give extra support to locally owned businesses that are not in a locally owned building. That way they can grow enough to buy their own building and keep the money local.
• Avoid businesses that are not locally owned. Spending money with those business hurts Jasper.
