Public Space Focus Merritt Chase specializes in transforming underutilized spaces into public parks, plazas, waterfronts, and cultural districts across the Midwest and Appalachia, indicating strong opportunities for municipal and university clients seeking community-focused landscape design.

Community Engagement Their design process emphasizes research and community involvement, suggesting benefits for RFPs or grants that prioritize participatory planning and stakeholder engagement, which can be leveraged to position them for public-sector collaborations.

Regional Footprint With bases in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis and a focus on Middle America, the firm aligns with midwestern and rust belt growth areas, presenting sales opportunities with city governments, park districts, and regional development authorities.

Sustainability and Identity Projects aim to uncover histories, restore habitats, and reflect social identity, offering cross-sell prospects for ecological restoration, cultural districts, and green infrastructure initiatives that require landscape architecture expertise.

Growth Signals Revenue is in the low multi-million range and team size is small, which positions Merritt Chase as a potentially receptive partner for scalable collaborations, subcontracting arrangements, or multi-firm consortia on larger public projects.
