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.

After a historic ski season and near-record tourism revenue last year, leaders in Utah are hoping to continue the momentum in the new year through an aggressive marketing campaign aimed at increasing the state’s visitor and recreation profile.

As the 2018 Utah Legislature officially gets underway, Gov. Gary Herbert and others are pledging to grow one of the state’s top economic drivers — tourism.
