Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

With the addition of a coordinator in Havre Nov. 15, all the regional offices of the Montana Agriculture Innovation Center are available to help agricultural producers develop products that return greater profit than traditional agriculture commodities.

The regional offices in addition to Havre are located in Joliet, Wolf Point, Ronan and Lewistown, says Perri Walborn, associate director of the center. The distribution design of the "center" is to make its services available to producers throughout Montana.
