The nonprofit Deschutes Trails Coalition has selected nine projects to receive a total of $600,000 to improve trails and trail infrastructure around Deschutes County, according to a release.

The funding comes from a portion of the Deschutes County Transient Room Tax and was approved earlier this year by the Deschutes County Commission. The room tax is an 8% tax on rentals of rooms or space for lodging collected in unincorporated areas of Deschutes County from people who stay 30 consecutive days or less.
