In May 1998, the United States Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA)
awarded the City of Fort Worth a $1.9 million grant to renovate the middle school on the historic James E.
Guinn School campus (Guinn Campus). The grant agreement with EDA stipulated that the City of Fort
Worth would restore all three buildings on the campus. The middle school reconstruction was completed
in April 2001, and is the permanent home of the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center.
In January 2000, the City accepted a $1.2 million Economic Development Initiative grant from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development for renovation of the former gym and industrial
arts building on the Guinn Campus. Construction of that project was completed in March 2004, and the
building is now occupied by the TECH Fort Worth technology business incubator.
The third building, the former elementary school, is the oldest and smallest of the three buildings
approximately 9,880 square feet on two floors} and the most representative in architectural character of
the original 1911 structure. Cn May 3, 2005, the City approved a proposal to EDA x$400,000.00}and
authorized its matching share of $100,000.00 to stabilize the exterior walls, replace the roof and pay
architectural fees to design the renovation of the Guinn elementary school. The remainder of the
construction costs was estimated at that time to be $1.6 million.
Cn August 23, 2005, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with the
University of North Texas Health Science Center ~UNTHSC} to accept and receive grant funds from the
State of Texas in the amount of $2.2 million to be received over two years. These grant funds received by
the City were allocated as follows: $1.6 million for the construction costs for the renovation of the Guinn
Elementary School and $600,000.00 to fund programs at TECH Fort Worth. In 2001, the State allocated
funding to UNTHSC once again, based on this partnership with the City of Fort Worth. Cf the $3.1 million
