Logan Simpson

What Logan Simpson does

Logan Simpson is a privately held, multidisciplinary professional services firm headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, that delivers environmental, cultural resources, community planning, and landscape architecture consulting to federal, state, tribal, and municipal government clients across the Western United States. Founded in 1990 and now operating from six offices in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada with 150+ professionals, the firm is structured around four integrated service lines — Environmental Services (NEPA documentation, biological assessments, water/stormwater permitting, travel management), Cultural Resources (archaeological surveys, NRHP nominations, Section 106/110 compliance, historic preservation planning), Community Planning (comprehensive, subarea, corridor, and master plans; land use codes; growth and housing planning), and Landscape Architecture (parks, trails, streetscape, and restoration design). The firm maintains a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract and federal small business status, and its practice is supported by an internal Innovation Lab and a tiered professional development program (the Summit Professional Development Program).

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with government and a small base of private-sector clients (utilities, infrastructure developers, architecture firms). Pricing is scope-driven and multi-year on task orders, with federal procurement facilitated by the GSA MAS contract and a BLM Travel Management Blanket Purchase Agreement covering more than 30,000 miles of routes across 12 western states. Customer relationships span the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Arizona Department of Transportation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and a long roster of Western municipalities (Mesa, Chandler, Jackson/Teton County, Westminster, Lakewood, Farmington, Henderson, among others). The firm also pursues private-sector work in broadband fiber (Zayo Group, tribal broadband via NEOConnect partnership) and utility-scale historic documentation (Salt River Project).

Operationally, Logan Simpson is led by CEO Bruce Meighen (since 2021) alongside a bench of principals who are firm owners, with founder Diane Simpson-Colebank remaining active in environmental planning. Leadership credentials include a FASLA fellow, registered professional archaeologists, AICP-certified planners, and LEED-accredited landscape architects. The firm differentiates on co-creation public engagement, GIS predictive modeling, and visual resource analysis, and has accumulated 60+ planning awards for leadership and 400+ completed plans. No external institutional investors, parent company, M&A activity, or funding rounds are disclosed; the firm is woman-founded, owner-operated, and privately held.
