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.

The Commerce Department is creating a new internal position: chief data officer.

The new officer will help the department and the public make better use of the department’s data sets, potentially spurring economic growth.

"They are taking cues from the commercial sector, which normally leads trends like this. Especially in big organizations, they’ve started to get their hands around how valuable it can be if we reduce the silos [that keep data sets private] and bring some of those silos together."
