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.

A $931,568 grant could be the beginning of something big for the Bitterroot College.

For the first time, the Hamilton-based school will have funding to establish the kind of meaningful industrial technology training programs that could open new employment doors to hundreds in the county in a hurry.

"We are simply thrilled about this development," said Bitterroot College Director Victoria Clark. "There is an opportunity for this to be a real game changer for the Bitterroot College. The funding will get these programs off the ground."
