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 state Department of Commerce has qualified 10 more businesses for investor tax credits under Act 255, which allows investors in small research and development firms to get up to 25 percent of their money back.

Commerce can give out up to $3.5 million to venture capitalists and $3 million to angels per year for at least 10 years. It’s up to the business to sign up and to qualify, so investors should just have to sign the paperwork.
