Sisters

The City of Sisters has the water and sewer capacity to nurture companies of varying sizes. Current building projects will provide ample live/work flex space for new and existing large and small companies. Industrial development with close access to U.S. Highway 20, competitive lease rates and build-to-suit options are available. Four business expansion projects are underway, which further shows that Sisters is the place to grow a business.

The Sisters School District is growing. It is known for its educational excellence with innovative CTE programs, including flight science, luthier, construction, information systems management, CAD, software coding and more. Throughout the district, students have access to classes that are hard to find elsewhere, such as Chinese, Interdisciplinary Experiential Education, and the Luthier (guitar maker) program. With higher education opportunities close by, top-quality education is easily obtainable.

A supportive entrepreneurial environment is at the core of the community, engaging startups and connecting them to regional and statewide resources. Sisters offers an economic development loan fund to incentivize small business attraction and expansion and is looking to attract companies that support the community’s vision. Companies can also take advantage of Enterprise Zone abatements and various incentive programs at the local, regional and state levels. In addition, Sisters Makers offers regular business workshops, classes, and long-term or drop in space for makers, artists, growers, and innovators.
