John Fedo (born 1950) is an American politician from Duluth, Minnesota, and a former mayor of that city. Prior to becoming the City's youngest mayor, he served on the Duluth City Council during the 1970s and owned a gas station in Duluth.
As Mayor, Fedo is widely credited with launching the renaissance of Duluth's lakefront and the development of Canal Park in the 1980s. He was also active in the design and beautification of downtown Duluth.[1]
In March 1988, Fedo was indicted on state charges of theft and falsification of records.[2] After a trial, Fedo was acquitted on all counts, and served out his third term before retiring as mayor in January 1992.
After he retired as mayor of Duluth, Fedo became City Administrator (1992–1995) in Hibbing, Minnesota. As of 2008, he is a business consultant for RLK-Inc Engineering.
