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.

Gov. Steve Bullock has announced a pilot project meant to better manage the impacts of drought in Montana through a partnership involving federal, state and local agencies.

Bullock said Wednesday the state will join the Drought Resilience Partnership. It will bring the resources of seven federal agencies to watershed groups and communities already working on drought issues. The project will take place on the upper Missouri River Basin above Fort Peck Reservoir.
