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.

"What can we do to foster a year-round economy?" Sun Valley Economic Development board member Rick LeFaivre asked during an economic forum hosted by the nonprofit organization on March 20. "What can we do to attract people with families?"

Two new efforts to help local businesses–an "incubator" center in the Ketchum light-industrial district and a small-business mentor program–are expected to help existing entrepreneurs and attract new companies to the area.
