RE: Letter of Support for a Community Development Block Grant
To Whom It May Concern,
Deschutes County supports the City of Sisters’ application for a Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) to sponsor a microenterprise facilitation
position that would cover Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. This position
would augment the good work that is already being done in the region through the
Wy’East Resource Conservation District by creating a second position that could
better penetrate our three counties.
The regional economic situation leads our jurisdiction to support efforts to engage
and equip small businesses and entrepreneurs. When local businesses create local
jobs and local economies develop as a result, this is sustainable economic
development.
Please support these efforts by awarding this CDBG to the City of Sisters to use in
continuing this grassroots effort. This will help change the entire Central Oregon
economic outlook and hasten the recovery from the current downturn.
Sincerely,
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Tammy Baney, Chair
Dennis R. Luke, Vice Chair
Alan Unger, Commissioner
