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.

Butte-Silver Bow County is ranked eighth in economic strength this year among 536 "micropolitan" locales in the U.S. with populations between 10,000 and 50,000, according to an economic research firm.

That’s up from 15th in the 2014 rankings by Florida-based Policom Corp., which bases its independent rankings on 23 variables for strengthening or weakening a local economy over an extended time. Helena ranked 14th this year, down from third last year, and Bozeman came in at 20th, down from 10th last year.
