Discover Coronado has teamed up with the City of Coronado to invest more than $500,000 into local community projects through June 2029. Many ideas are already circulating, and a five-person committee will help identify and prioritize the island’s greatest needs and greenlight funding. A new Coronado Information Hub, created in collaboration with the Coronado Chamber of Commerce, is expected to open in FY27. The hub will offer visitors and residents free information about local businesses, landmarks, job opportunities, and more.
Discover Coronado Donates $500,000
The funding comes from a 1% assessment that Discover Coronado collects from overnight hotel stays in Coronado. The City of Coronado collects a 10% transient occupancy tax (TOT) for each hotel room occupied. TOT revenue is projected to exceed $23 million in fiscal year 2027. City Council uses those funds to support city services and operations — keeping streets safe, providing public services, and maintaining the city facilities Coronado residents use daily.
