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 recent study commissioned by the Greater Montana Foundation has found that 84 percent of Montanans have Internet access at home, the first time the state has met the national average.

The survey also found that 48 percent of Montana residents consider community news a top priority on a daily basis, and that the overwhelming majority of state residents consider jobs and the economy the top issue facing the state, followed by education and health care.
