The East Jasper Commercial District on US 150 serves as a major thoroughfare. A number of commercial, retail, and professional office establishments are located on East Jasper Street. This corridor serves as the primary commercial district for Edgar County. Businesses like Super Wal-Mart, Wendy's, Kroger’s and McDonalds, together with a wide variety of local establishments serve a regional population within a 35-mile radius.

Recent commercial development and the Year 2000 opening of a Super Wal-Mart are anticipated to support the creation and expansion of business along East Jasper Street. Recent land sales along the Lower Terre Haute Road at its intersection with E. Jasper promise anticipated growth along this new commercial area. Mix-use development potential is also important within this area due to a need for additional contemporary multi-family housing and professional office space.
