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.

Pyramid Mountain Lumber may still have a chance to stay open, but it would take nothing short of a miracle.

The company, which announced its impending closure on March 14, said it needs one of two things to stay in business: tens of millions of dollars in investment into automation, or roughly 50 more employees to return the mill to full operational output and increase revenues. The closure will affect about 100 employees and their families.
