MEET Minot

Minot is the business and shopping hub for north-central North Dakota

Its historic downtown area is nestled in a beautiful valley carved out by the Souris River. This metro city is home to Minot State University and the North Dakota State Fair. Located 13 miles north, Minot Air Force Base has been an integral part of the community since the 1950s. Minot’s steady growth offers business and career opportunities, while its friendly neighborhoods make it a great place to call home.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES

The Minot area has seen tremendous job growth in recent years, thanks in part to its location near the eastern edge of North Dakota’s Bakken oil formation, as well as key transportation routes. The recent addition of a large industrial park and intermodal rail facility bolsters a strong job market with many career opportunities in transportation and logistics, healthcare, education, engineering, manufacturing and value-added agribusiness.
