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 deal on fixing the state’s budget woes could materialize in coming days and a special session could follow shortly after, the governor’s budget director said Wednesday.

Over the last few weeks, Gov. Steve Bullock’s office has worked with legislative leadership to come up with the framework of a deal that would plug the $227 million hole in the state’s budget through a combination of budget cuts, temporary tax increases and moving funds around.
