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.

Polson http://polsonforever.org/ is searching for a brighter and more prosperous future and a $100,000 grant from the Orton Family Foundation could be the key.

The town of 5,000 on the shore of Flathead Lake was named a finalist last month for the Heart and Soul Planning Initiative grant which will be awarded to four towns across the county; two in the Rocky Mountain West and two in New England.

Foundation spokesperson John Barstow said the program was first established three years ago to help small towns and cities establish a vision for the future, with the hope of including all voices and opinions within a community.
