In 2024, El Paso County contracted WSB to conduct a feasibility study to identify the demand for childcare services in the downtown area and the available supply of licensed providers. The feasibility study highlighted demand with ~11,000 employees working downtown and strong survey support (85% yes) for a downtown childcare center. After identification and evaluation of several potential sites, the consultant identified a County-owned vacant building at Campbell and First Ave (501 E. 1st Ave) as the preferred site to establish a childcare center. The site at 501 E. 1st Ave. meets downtown location goals and would accommodate over 90 children, filling a critical demand for downtown working parents. El Paso County has agreed to lease the building to WSB for the purpose of allowing WSB to sublease the building to a third party that will provide turnkey services, including: • Securing all project financing from non-WSB sources, including private financing, philanthropy, tax-credit financing, and any other lawful funding sources needed for design, construction, equipping, and start-up of the childcare facility. WSB is not committed to providing financing, reimbursement, or construction funding for the project. • Designing, constructing, and improving the premises as necessary for operation of the childcare facility, subject to all applicable laws, permits, approvals, and the terms of the lease and sublease. • Owning and operating the facility, after completion of construction, as a properly licensed Texas child-care operation and, if serving children through Child Care Services, participating in the Texas Rising Star program as required by Texas Workforce Commission requirements.
