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 Gallatin Valley is home to approximately 30 photonics and optics companies – the highest per capita concentration of such companies in the U.S. – but skilled photonics technicians are needed to grow the industry. Local training hasn’t been available to prepare individuals to fill these positions, but that will soon change, thanks to a new Gallatin College Montana State University http://www.montana.edu/gallatincollege/ program.
