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.

University of Montana economists http://www.bber.umt.edu/ say there continues to be strength in the state’s economy in 2016, but they also see signs of trouble when it comes to falling oil and commodity prices.

UM’s annual economic report card has been expanded this year to the Montana Economic Report 2016 http://www.bber.umt.edu/events/eos.asp , taking a broader look at areas important to Montana business and government leaders, as well as everyday residents.

Several seminars are being planned across the state to explain the reports findings. Click here http://www.bber.umt.edu/events/eos.asp to view the schedule.
