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.

The 210-megawatt Glacier Wind Farm, strategically located to capture wind whipping off the Rocky Mountains, will become the state’s largest wind facility when it goes live this month.

But that distinction might be as short-lived as a Montana summer.

NaturEner http://www.naturener.net/ already is planning construction of a second wind-power facility called Rim Rock, just to the north of the Glacier project. It would be 309 megawatts — 50 percent larger than Glacier.
