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.
Billings Montana

The Billings-initiated effort to create a new economic development tool for Montana may finally be introduced this week in Helena where the path to passage will be steep and uncertain.

The “whereas” clauses of the draft economic development bill are urgent:

  • Montana is challenged to attract and retain the workforce of the future.
  • There is an imbalance in tax base and the fiscal demands on the state budget and its taxpayers.
  • Montana’s future depends on driving private investment as well as building state infrastructure.
