Prison Land Swap in Concord | Concord News

The state’s pushing forward with a $750 million men’s prison project—and Concord’s land is central to it. In exchange for 72 acres behind the women’s prison, the state offers 117 riverfront acres with a future rail trail, a prime spot for recreation and development. City leaders see it as a win-win, despite acknowledging the prison’s mixed impact. With aging facilities ripe for lawsuits and construction costs mounting, this deal could be the key to unlocking the new prison—though final designs are still pending and negotiations are ongoing.
