Organization Overview:

Artisan Right of Way Agency, LLC is a family-owned and operated, Arizona-based firm proudly certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business

Enterprise (SBE). Founded by Arizona native Alyssa Strong, R/W-RAC, Artisan was established to offer high-quality, community-focused right-of-way acquisition, relocation assistance, and property management services to public agencies across the state.

As a newly formed agency, Artisan was built with a mission to deliver personalized, responsive services while upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance and client satisfaction.

What sets Artisan apart is its local knowledge and regional relationships. Being based in

Arizona, and led by a native Arizonan, Artisan brings an authentic understanding of the state’s jurisdictions, agency procedures, and community dynamics. This gives us a distinct advantage in coordinating with local municipalities—knowing which departments to engage, how to streamline processes, and how to build lasting, productive relationships with staff and stakeholders.

Artisan also takes pride in being part of Arizona’s small business economy. We believe that investing in local firms not only supports public project delivery—it also helps strengthen our workforce, circulate dollars within the state, and build a more resilient infrastructure industry rooted in community partnerships.
