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.

Tasco Engineering, Inc., of Lehi, Utah, developed the county’s first foray into wind energy, and it has incorporated two limited liability companies, Teton Wind and White Mountain Wind, for the project. The White Mountain project plans were outlined during a BLM open house in Rock Springs.

Teton Wind recently filed an application with the BLM for a second-phase expansion of its county-permitted, 36-turbine White Mountain Wind Energy Project.

White Mountain is a popular scenic recreation area that lies northwest of Rock Springs and north and east of the city of Green River, just north of Interstate 80.

The project would be located on approximately 13,140 acres of federal, state and private lands on White Mountain. The project area includes private parcels owned by the Rock Springs Grazing Association and Anadarko Petroleum, Inc.
