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 second and final day on the Montana Economic Development Summit kicked off in Butte this morning with comments from Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock.

"We need to think about where Montana will be in 10 years," Bullock said.

The downtown in the economy can be traced to the businesses and industries that stopped looking at the long-term, according to Bullock.

"Both business and government have to say ‘go beyond,’" he said.

One third of Montana’s economy is still based on agriculture and about 150 farms and ranches are lost each year, he said.

Next up was Gov. Brian Schweitzer interviewing President and CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger.
