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.

With unemployment in the double digits, a local economic development group, along with Flathead County officials, is working to entice new employers and additional jobs by competing for state grant monies.

Representatives from Montana West Economic Development http://dobusinessinmontana.com/ asked county commissioners last week to help them tap into state funds used to relocate new companies or grow existing ones. Several businesses have already expressed interest, they said.

“The goal is to create good-paying jobs – something we could certainly use right now,” Gary Winship, manager of Montana West’s loan funds, said.
