Bonton Farms hoping to raise millions to address inequalities in its South Dallas neighborhood
In order to finance a health and wellness center, a bank, and an inexpensive small house village in the long-neglected South Dallas neighborhood, Bonton Farms launched Project Gamechanger, a $11.6 million fundraising initiative.
Bonton Farms began construction on a 36-unit apartment building Thursday.
“Dallas has housing problems. Additionally, there is a problem with safe and affordable housing in South Dallas,” stated Gabe Madison, CEO of Bonton Farms. “Our goal is to offer that within this entire community setting. Consider the local educators, local law enforcement, and our collective solidarity in that community.
Additionally, there was a wellness center groundbreaking. The 11,000-square-foot facility will assist with primary care requirements, offer dental care, educational programs, and classes on financial health, exercise, and nutrition.
“That s really going to provide primary care to the community of Bonton and so many other communities,” Madison stated. “It will be provided through Methodist Health Systems.”
Baylor Scott & White is offering the fitness and nutrition classes.
The resource center will include social assistance, mental health services, and conference rooms for businesses and apprentices.
“Those great social services that are in North Dallas will have the ability to have that in South Dallas,” Madison stated. Retail space as well. We gave rise to Bonton-pernuers.
Bonton Farms is establishing a local presence at DFW Airport in addition to solidifying its presence in South Dallas.
In 2026, a market store will open inside Terminal A.
