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.

Under the backdrop of state and local officials pointing fingers of blame for the loss of the Outdoor Retailer shows and their estimated $45 million economic boost, Gov. Gary Herbert signed a resolution that is at the heart of the trade group’s decision.

Meanwhile, one local businessman who relies on work from the biannual gathering of the outdoor industry in Salt Lake laments the loss of income for his company, and an apparent lack of civility in the talks between the two sides.
