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.

Could the arrival of new businesses in Billings over the next year mean the creation of a thousand new jobs? Officials at Big Sky Economic Development believe that is entirely possible.

Jeremy Vannatta, EDA’s Director of Business Outreach and Recruitment, went through an impressive list of companies which have Billings in their sights, as they pursue some rather large expansion projects. "They are exciting projects," said Vannatta, reflecting "the diversity of our industries." "We are seeing the whole gamut," he told members of a joint executive committee for Big Sky Economic Development Authority (EDA) and for the Big Sky Economic Development Corporation (EDC), at a meeting last Wednesday.
