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.

SeaCast http://seacast.com/ , a precision parts casting company moving to a facility west of Butte, may bring more than a foundry company to the Mining City.

Bert Robins, vice president, said there’s potential for several support businesses to locate near SeaCast in the Tax Increment Financing Industrial District, located about 10 miles west of Butte. In a TIFID, a portion of property taxes is diverted into a special account for economic development. The TIFID is adjacent to the Port of Montana, southwest of Butte.

Auxiliary operations could include a machine shop or different metals and raw materials suppliers.
