Jasper chamber, Lions Club to host networking event at Legacy Living site
Jasper chamber members got an up-close look at Legacy Living’s west-side construction site at 1850 W. State Road 56, a 113-unit senior project.
Jasper business members had a chance to see one of the city’s larger senior-housing projects from the inside when the Jasper Chamber of Commerce and the Jasper Lions Club hosted a Time Out From Business gathering at Legacy Living of Jasper.
The chamber describes Time Out From Business as an after-hours social networking function for members only, and this one was tied directly to the site at 1850 W. State Road 56. Attendees were invited to get an up-close, first-hand look at the construction site and progress, turning a routine networking stop into a check-in on a west-side development that has been taking shape for years.
That matters in Jasper because the project is not a small infill build. Wurster Construction describes Legacy Living as a 113-unit senior living development that includes 18 independent-living townhomes, 70 assisted-living apartments and 25 memory-care apartments. The main building totals 94,000 square feet, a scale that makes it one of the more visible additions along Highway 56 west of Jasper.
The property has already moved through the city’s public process. City of Jasper Plan Commission records show a Legacy Living planned-unit-development request, and the city later approved Ordinance No. 2021-15, which established the Legacy Living of Jasper Phase II Planned Unit Development District. Earlier reporting said the project was first presented in 2017 as a $17.5 million to $18 million senior living development planned across from Shiloh United Methodist Church.
Legacy Living later opened in November 2019, after a grand opening that had been delayed by COVID-19. State licensing records now list Legacy Living Leasing Jasper, LLC at the same address, with 122 residential beds and an effective license date of Oct. 1, 2024, underscoring that the site is already an established part of Jasper’s senior-care landscape.
For chamber members, the practical payoff is straightforward: a chance to network in person, see the progress on a major local project and better understand what is changing on Jasper’s west side. For residents, the event offered a look at a long-running development that combines housing, health care and local investment in one site.
