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.

As we enter 2013, Missoula Economic Partnership is pleased to introduce a new website focused on both helping local businesses grow and attracting new businesses to our community.

The site — now located at http://www.MissoulaPartnership.com — reflects months of work by Partnership staff, investors and key strategic partners in the community, all aimed at providing a one-stop source of local business and community information.

Reflecting our primary focus on helping local businesses grow, the new site serves as a comprehensive and in-depth hub of business resources as well as links to actionable news and events in the community. Area entrepreneurs can find local market data and information about funding opportunities. And of course, materials for all of our programs — including the Innovation Initiative, A2B Business Mentoring and the MEP Angel Network — are easily accessible.

For companies considering a relocation or expansion, the new site features a wealth of detailed factual information to help build a case for Missoula and ease the process of making a move to our community. Links to workforce development resources, tax rates and incentive programs, local infrastructure providers and other data are provided on the site.

We also outlined Missoula’s best-fit sectors and provided resources, peer company and workforce development information relevant to each sector.

In addition, we partnered with GCS Research, a Missoula-based leader in geographical information systems technology, to implement a powerful site selector tool specifically for businesses looking to open, expand or relocate in Missoula County. This one tool provides the data and insight companies need to make sound decisions when choosing a zone, neighborhood and property to do business.

We hope you will take time to get to know the site. And please help us share this new resource with others by linking it on your own online sites and social media.
