From jails to trails: Dawson State Jail under new ownership

​​​​DALLAS – Trinity Park Conservancy has purchased Dawson State Jail along W. Commerce St. for $3 million.

The former jail, which closed in 2013, borders the Trinity River Corridor with green spaces. It will possibly become organization offices and amenities​ for nearby ​park and trail users. 

The property changed hands through an entity called MSW 106 Commerce LLC in April. Funds came from donor gifts.​
