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.

Seventeen Montana communities and counties will share $500,000 of federal grant funding through the Department of Commerce’s Community Development Block Grant Program to support the planning of critical infrastructure and community development projects in Montana.

"Planning is at the foundation of building vibrant, healthy and prosperous communities," Montana Department of Commerce Director Pam Haxby-Cote said. "These planning grants help Montana communities effectively take local efforts to the next level."
