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.

Montana can expect economic growth ahead, just without a building industry that has been so historically important to recoveries in the past.

That was the message presented by economists with the University of Montana’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research during the 6th Annual Midyear Economic Update presented at the Great Northern Best Western Premier Monday afternoon.

Titled "Montana’s Construction-less Recovery," the presentation showed the changes in the different sectors of the state’s economy and expectations of the next few years.
