(Fargo, ND) — Heavy Fourth of July travel is expected in North Dakota despite rising gas prices. North Dakota Department of Commerce communications manager Kim Schmidt says a bump in prices at this time of year is disappointing. Triple-A puts the nationwide average cost of gas at one-dollar-70 cent higher than this time last year. Experts say tourism and travel are key industries for North Dakota’s economy.
