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.

Wage inflation in New York and San Francisco and their high cost of living sent ClassPass http://www.ClassPass.com on a mission last year to find a new location for its third North American office.

After a lengthy search that placed Missoula, Bozeman, Provo and Fort Collins on the short list, Missoula rose to the top by checking all the right boxes – a talented workforce, low facility costs, a business friendly government and a strong university.

But Fritz Lanman, ClassPass CEO, said it also offered atypical assets, including progressive community values and a high quality of life. Oddly, he added, it required a layover when traveling from most major metros – cities inundated with companies fleeing their coastal digs for a more cost-friendly environment.
