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.

At its meeting Tuesday, the commission will get a presentation from Trillion Aviation, a consulting firm, about what the city can do to persuade carriers to add more flights and to attract new airlines for when the Williston Basin International Airport opens in 2019.

Dudas said the consultants would help the city set up meetings with carriers to help educate them about the demand for flights out of Williston, as well as share information about the local economy to show the need for more flights.
