Minnesota
The Minnesota FEB covers the entire state of Minnesota as well as parts of eastern North Dakota and western Wisconsin and is responsible for overseeing 90 departments and agencies. We employ over 35,000 civilians, military personnel, postal workers, and contractors. The top agencies with the highest number of employees are the Unites States Department of Agriculture, United States Army Corps of Engineers, United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and Federal Highway Administration.
About This FEB
We have several phenomenal federal properties including the Paul D. Wellstone Federal Building, Gerald W. Heaney Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, Warren E. Burger Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, and Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building. Amazing Fact: The Port of Duluth-Superior is located at the westernmost tip of Lake Superior and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System. At 2,342 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, it is North America’s farthest-inland freshwater seaport and is the largest tonnage U.S. port on the Great Lakes!
In addition to working with Federal Agencies, the Minnesota Federal Executive Board also works in partnership with State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial representatives and stakeholders. We are home to 11 federally recognized American Indian tribes with reservations throughout Minnesota. Seven of these are Anishinaabe (Chippewa, Ojibwe) and four are Dakota (Sioux).
Please reach out to your local Minnesota Federal Executive Board team members and help shape the future of the MNFEB community!
