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.

Whether it’s setting up trailhead vending machines with bug spray, or filling potholes with recycled glass, Missoula County Public School students are proposing a raft of new ideas that have emerged from a pilot program that’s putting young minds to work solving problems.

Here’s one problem you’d like solved – Missoula’s never-ending battle with potholes. It costs not only tax money to fix them but hundreds of dollars to replace damaged tires and wheels. Students in the i3 Academy have a solution, filling the holes with "glassphalt".
