Earning local trust for energy and infrastructure projects.
About Mesa
-
Mesa Strategies is a public affairs and community engagement consulting firm for the companies building and powering America's infrastructure. We help developers, operators, and investors earn the trust of the communities they depend on.
Our founder has spent his career at the intersection of business, government, and community, from Capitol Hill to corporate boardrooms to county commission meetings in rural towns. He has built community and external affairs functions from the ground up for major organizations. We know that projects succeed or stall based on relationships, and that those relationships have to be built early, honestly, and in person.

We help energy and infrastructure projects get built with the community behind them. Our work centers on:
Community engagement: Early, authentic outreach to residents, local leaders, and neighbors, before concerns turn into opposition.
Government and stakeholder relations: Navigating county, state, and federal relationships, permitting dynamics, and elected-official engagement.
Public affairs strategy: Stakeholder mapping, messaging, and issue management tailored to each project and place.
Local presence and trust-building: Showing up, listening, and turning community input into project decisions.
-
Mission: To help infrastructure builders and the communities that host them move forward together, through trust, transparency, and genuine partnership.
Vision: A future where critical energy and digital infrastructure is built with communities, not around them, and where local voices shape projects and share in their benefits.
