IN 2025: THE GARDEN RE-ASSESSED AND UPDATED MARKET RESEARCH OF ALL COMMUNITY RENTAL VENUES, LARGE AND SMALL. FINAL PHASING PLANS WERE CONFIRMED, AS WELL AS UPDATED CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES. ALL PRO-FORMAS, BASED ON PHASING, WERE UPDATED, WHICH INCLUDED MAPPING EVERY ASSOCIATED NAMING RIGHT AND SPECIAL FEATURE OF EACH GARDEN AREA, A FORECAST OF ALL ANNUAL IN-HOUSE EVENTS AND RENTALS BY GARDEN, AND A PROJECTION OF REVENUE STREAMS. (GRANTS, IN-KIND DONATIONS, ANNUAL FUND DRIVE, SPONSORSHIPS, ADMISSIONS, MEMBERSHIPS, EDUCATION FEES, GIFT SHOP, CAF, CONCESSIONS, AND BANQUET/FOOD SERVICE) THESE PRO-FORMAS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY BEASLEY MITCHELL CPA. WITH APPROVED PRO-FORMAS, AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED BY THE PERRYMAN GROUP, WACO, TEXAS. THIS STUDY PROJECTED COMMUNITY BENEFIT OF 79.8 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION. GUILLERMO BECERRA, AN EL PASOAN AND FORMER CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS FOR OVER 15 YEARS, WAS GIVEN A CONTRACT. HE DIRECTS THE PRODUCTION OF ALL SPECIAL FEATURES FOR EL PASO CHILDREN'S GARDEN (10' BUNNIES, GIANT TARANTULA, SLEEPING GIANTS, MEDIEVAL WALLED CITY AND MORE). HIS FINAL MAPPING ALLOWS CONFIDENT PROGRESS WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS,WITH AN EYE TOWARD AVOIDING CHANGE ORDERS. THE GARDEN WILL PROVIDE VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES AND ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES. THERE WILL BE ALL-ACCESS PLAYGROUNDS. IT IS ADJACENT TO AN UNDERPRIVILEDGED AREA, AND VISITS TO THIS GARDEN WILL PROVIDE MANY FREE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A CURRICULUM IN PLACE FOR GRADES 1-12. ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY POINT IS THAT THE GARDEN'S WATER CONSERVATION AND RECYCLING IS NOW PROJECTED AT FORTY PLUS PERCENT. (40%+) PLANT SELECTION, DESIGN AND SOURCING CONTINUES TO ENGENDER EXCITEMENT. OUR READ-SET-GROW CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WILL BE LAUNCHED IN 2026, AS WELL AS OUR GROUND-BREAKING CEREMONY.
