Surgical
instrument company moving
By Jim Cornelius
Surgical Instrument
Services & Savings (SISS) is moving from the Sisters Industrial Park into
larger facilities in Redmond.
The move annoyed the Sisters
City Council because the company had requested and received council support
for an Oregon Business Development Fund loan of $100,000 -- based on the
company's expressed intention to stay in Sisters.
"This was not a process of
hoodwinking or betraying anyone," company president Ken Stevenson told
The Nugget.
In a letter to city administrator
Eileen Stein, Stevenson explained that sudden, rapid growth at SISS and
incentives from the City of Redmond made basing facilities in Redmond
more attractive.
The company took on a contract
for $1 million of a competitor's business after the city offered support
for the loan from OBDF.
SISS currently employs 14
people, some of them Sisters residents.
The company plans to add 10
more workers.
