Growth Management
In Sisters there are a variety of growth management tools in place to ensure that as towns and cities grow, they do so in a sustainable manner that provides the uses a community needs and the infrastructure to support it. While the goal is to manage growth, it is important to note that it does not mean eliminating growth. In fact, in Oregon, communities are required to plan for growth and it is illegal to impose moratoriums on development.
Within that framework, we manage growth in the Sisters Way - preserve what is important to us, while strategically making room for our needs as a community - such as affordable housing, businesses and parks - to maintain Sisters as an attractive place to live and visit.
