The Saint Paul Port Authority helps stem urban sprawl, which continues to be a top priority of Minnesota lawmakers and the Metropolitan Council, among others, while providing clean business sites in the East Metro that are easily assessable to employees by public transportation. Our goal is to make it easy for our greatest asset – well-trained workers – to get to good-paying jobs near their homes.

Our business centers also provide quick and easy access to rail lines and the interstate and highway systems. And by managing a port more than 1,300 miles inland, we offer significant marketing opportunities for heartland agricultural producers, as well as substantial job opportunities.
