Dispatch | Tell Coronado's stories, one page (or post!) at a time.The Coronado Dispatch is our neighborhood's very own publication, filled with stories, news, and creative contributions from our community. The Dispatch Committee helps bring it all together—curating submissions, writing articles, designing each quarterly issue, and sharing additional stories and timely updates on our new blog.

Community Garden CommitteeChair: Not Yet Appointed | Help us grow something new—literally!We have a vision for a future Coronado community garden, and we're looking for neighbors to help figure out what it could become. Should we offer individual garden plots? Create a shared, volunteer-tended garden? Grow food for neighbors in need? Something entirely different? This new committee will explore the possibilities, work through the practical details, and help develop a plan for a garden that truly serves our community. Whether you're an experienced gardener, a total beginner, or simply someone who loves the idea of creating a greener, more connected neighborhood, we'd love to have you at the table (or in the garden)! |
Historic Preservation CommitteeChair: Not Yet Appointed | Help protect Coronado's past while shaping its future.Coronado is full of history worth celebrating—from its distinctive architecture and historic homes to the stories of the people who helped shape our neighborhood. We're looking for neighbors interested in forming a Historic Preservation Committee to help protect and share that legacy. This new committee could work with the City of Phoenix and State of Arizona historic preservation offices, connect homeowners with helpful information and resources, explore opportunities to expand Coronado's existing historic district boundaries, and find creative ways to celebrate our neighborhood's architectural and cultural heritage. Love old houses, local history, architecture, or uncovering the stories behind the places we call home? You don't have to be a preservation expert—just someone who cares about keeping Coronado's history alive for generations to come. We'd love to hear from you! |
