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.

If you’re an entrepreneur, Henry County wants you to bring your business here.

At least that was the message at a Thursday morning meeting of the Small Business Council of the Henry County Chamber of Commerce.

The council meeting kicked off a two-day community site visit from the Georgia Department of Economic Development to make an assessment of whether the county has earned the State’s “Entrepreneur Friendly” designation.

The visit caps a year-long effort by the HCCC Small Business Council in cooperation with the Henry County Development Authority to earn the designation.
