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.

Iowa-based livestock and cargo trailer manufacturer Kiefer Built LLC has moved one step closer to opening a plant in Gooding.

Gov. Dirk Kempthorne on Tuesday awarded a $300,000 Idaho Community Development Block Grant to the city of Gooding, which will help Gooding’s Urban Renewal Agency purchase the 119,000-square-foot former Arkoosh building as well as eight acres in the city’s industrial park.
